Vaclav Smil (Author of “Global Catastrophes and Trends”):
“I’m inoculated against any doctrinaire ground solutions that say, you know, 'This is the pattern. This is the master. This is the paradigm which we have to follow.’ I’m just totally set against it. So, I’m making things deliberately kind of, you know, messy, incoherent, uncoordinated because that’s how life is! We don’t know what patterns will emerge.”
I found a way to survive.
Idle hands won’t get you by.
Need a reason, to stand and fight.
We all crave this meaning in our life.
Need a purpose as your cosmic guide
To get you through your darkest times
Find a reason, to rise and shine.
We all need some meaning in our lives.
Shut out the world tonight
And ripple out in creation.
Drive it towards the very source
Of our mutual connection.
Take away the masks and names,
Material things, social games,
No delusion, no desires,
WE’RE ALL TRYING TO SURVIVE.
To think, to know, to realize
To dare, to prosper and feel alive…
To learn, to grow, to synthesize.
To find one another and stay alive…
Think and feel, you’re not alone
In devastation. (Devestation.)
We’re all going to a war.
(We’re all going through a war.)
Is this all we had to do?
Trade our comfort in for truth?
We’re alive, all is well.
We'll make heaven of this hell.

Even if I could
save you from your self
You seem to like this
Like this pain.
Even if I could
fix you up in time
You seem to crave it.
Crave this high.
Haven’t got a clue.
even though i warned you
i told you, to think it through
You got nothing to lose
Don’t want to feel like someone
Someone’s done this to you.
No one can save you
You’re really on your own man,
You are your o-own.
No one can sym-pa-thize
Your thoughts are all you own, man.
They’re all you know.
Get your move on,
You gotta get your move on, move on.
No one can sym-pa-thize
Your thoughts are all you own, man.
They’re all you know.
Maybe if you flip, flip it upside down
You might get a chance to figure it out.
Maybe if you think, think it through instead
of just ranting and raving around.
No matter what I do,
Trouble seems to catch up
and grab a firm hold of you.
There’s no helping you
YOU feel like you’re a victim
victim of truth.
No one can save you
You’re really on your own man,
You are your o-own.
No one can sym-pa-thize
Your thoughts are all you own, man.
They’re all you know.
Get your move on,
You’ve got to get your move on, move on,
No one can sympathize,
Your thoughts are all you own, man
They’re all you know.

Burning Tree

When the time is right,
I know I’ll be okay ,
The same things that broke me down
Helped me grow this way.
I'm rooted, I am
Vulnerable and bare
I can't help but burn
In the fire of your glare
And it wasn’t easy
Standing up to time
But the way you see me
Is not what I had in mind
I said it wasn’t easy
I struggle all the time
But it helps me make the most
of every moment in my life.
Sometimes I’m tempted,
To give in to the world,
But the pressure’s always there
It warns me to be cold.
Happiness comes easy,
If you’ve been trained,
Life should drive you crazy,
Such a pity if you’re sane.
With the pain comes comfort,
Of knowing you’ve been bold,
And it toughens your skin,
To stay warm against the cold.
I know it isn’t easy (No!)
But you should live your life.
Next thing you know
You’ll be running out of time.

Feel Like Getting High?

Do you feel like getting high?
You feel the need to soothe your aching mind?
Have you seen these stars at night
Wondered how the hell you came to life?
Have you seen your father’s eyes
Stoic and resilient to his fears?
Have you seen your mother smile
Hopeful for the joy she’s earned for years?
Have you fallen to pieces?
You just fell out of line.
If you find your peace, it’s close, my friend
You’d stop wasting your ti-ime.
Have you fallen to pieces?
No, no, you just fell out of line.
If you find your peace, it’s close, my friend
You’d stop wasting your time.
Wasting your, wasting your…
Do you feel like getting high
And wonder what the hell you’re doing here?
Do you feel this hollow prize
Knowing your weakness is so clear?
So you think we’re worth a try
Do you have the courage to persevere?
But you feel like getting high,
Robbing us of your purpose here.
Have you fallen to pieces?
You just fell out of line.
If you find your peace, it’s close, my friend
You’d stop wasting your ti-ime.
Have you fallen to pieces?
No, no, you just fell out of line.
If you find your peace, it’s close, my friend
You’d stop wasting your time.
Wasting your, wasting your…
Have you fallen to pieces?
You just fell out of line.
But you will find your peace, it’s close, my friend
If you stop wasting your time.
Do you feel like getting high?
Do you feel like getting high?

I kinda liked it.
I kinda liked
the pain you caused.
I’m reminded
that there’s a price
to pay in love.
I know you liked it.
I know you liked
the pain I caused.
Be reminded,
Jealousy always
has its cost.
Edward Norton playing Mike Shiner in the movie “Birdman” (2014):
Mike Shiner: You've been hanging around here trying to make yourself invisible behind this fragile little fuck-up routine, but you can’t! You're anything but invisible. You're big. You're kind of a great mess. It's like a candle burning at both ends, but it's beautiful. No amount of booze or weed or attitude is going to hide that."
