The truth of mankind, long concealed.

We stand, architects of dreams and light,
Yet bu...

Party of Love

...I say and say it again
Until I am red in the face
Foaming at the mouth
Peeing in my pants mad

Confess if I dare

...Dare me to diagnose my condition?
 
I'm diagnosed with depression
Or rather does depression have me
Even the sad rain cries for me
Or do I cry because of rain
