1.- Time is never time at all, you can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth. And our lives are forever changed, we will never be the same. The more you change the less you feel.

(Tonight, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness LP, 1995)

 

2.- I catch the rainfall through the leaking roof that you had left behind. You remind me of that leak in my soul.

(Black Page, Adore LP, 1998)

 

3.- I steal a kiss from her, sleeping shadow moves because I’ll always miss her wherever she goes. And I’ll always need her more than she could ever need me. I need somene to ease my mind but sometimes a someone is so hard to find. 

(In the Arms of Sleep, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness LP, 1995)

 

4.- Emptiness is loneliness, and loneliness is cleanliness, and cleanliness is godliness and God is empty just like me.

(Zero, Mellon Collie and Infinite Sadness LP, 1995)

 

5.- Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in the cage.

(Bullet with Butterfly Wings, Mellon Collie and Infinite Sadness LP, 1995)

 

6.- No more promise no more sorrow, no longer will I follow. Can anybody hear me? I just want to be me. When I can, I will. Try to understand that when I can, I will.

(Mayonaise, Siamese Dream LP, 1993)

 

7.- In you I see dirty. In you I count stars. In you I feel so pretty. In you I taste God. In you I feel so hungry. In you I crash cars… We must never be apart.

(Ava Adore, Adore LP, 1998)
