Exactly the place I want to be

So much chaff with no wheat

We’re always in bittersweet existence

4 WE belong to no one and everyone at once

change is here, whether you like me or not — Let this be a warning, for all you bad behavior boys and girls. Let this be a warning, for this couldn’t care less politics.
