We are forced to recognize our inhumanity
Our reason co-exists with our insanity
And though we choose between reality and madness, it's either sadness or euphoria.

For all our mutual experience
Our separate conclusions are the same
Now we are forced to recognize our inhumanity
Our reason coexists with our insanity
But we choose between reality and madness
It's either sadness or euphoria.

They say that these are not the best of times,
but they're the only times I've ever known.
And I believe there is a time for meditation in cathedrals of our own.
Now I have seen that sad surrender in my lovers eyes
and I can only stand apart and sympathize.
For we are only what our situations hand us,
it's either sadness or euphoria.


Billy Joel

Quote of the day

Edgar Allan Poe
