Positive Thinking

If we think positively, if we keep smiling, we'd be so happy. Tony Robbins wouldn't lie about something like that to me.
If you don't believe me, keep it to yourself. If we think positively, we'd be in such good health.
You'll feel better if we repeat this four times together: We are so happy.

I stole your memories and took them to San Francisco. Some secrets are good to keep and others good to let go. I stole your memories and I put them up on my wall. You asked me to, even though you don't recall.
Balance the truth and lies.
I tried to suppress the expression on your face. But when I stopped the muscles, others moved in their place.

Humor

I have expected, then been surprised. But I only smiled sometimes. I’ve had tension released. Sometimes I laugh, but sometimes it’s just relief.
I’ll pretend to run when you pretend to touch me. And if we have fun, that’s ‘cause it’s supposed to be.
I wrote a joke, to you from me. It's hard to tell a joke in a minor key. If you don’t laugh enough, the fault belongs to both of us.
If you pretend to cut me, I’ll pretend that it’s blood. And that only makes me laugh because I had faith it would.

Death and Dying

Someday I'll hit sixty, and that's a moment from sixty-five. Time's uncompromising, death's a moment from being alive. Go on and hide it, as I sing this song. You stay quiet, this is not a sing-along. Slowly dying, but still too fast.
I walk the pavement, like it's forever. But don't you know that I'm faking it, trying to make things better. It's closing on two minutes, and it's about enough. I am almost at my limit, count down to one last chorus.

Philosophy of Science

How do I know who you were. I watched you and that's all that I can do. Now, I know because I guessed. I guessed from those answers that you gave me on your test.
How do I know. I imagine. I see you in my head. But there's no such thing as proof, no such thing. I imagine that's right but hasn't been proven.
