“If I let you, you would make me destroy myself. in order to survive you, I must first survive myself.
I can sink no further, and I cannot forgive you, there's no choice but to confront you, to engage you, to erase you. I've gone to great lengths to expand my threshold of pain. I will use my mistakes against you, there's no other choice. Im shameless now, im nameless now, im nothing now, im no one now but my soul must be iron 'cause my fear is naked
im naked and fearless and my fear is naked”
― Maynard James Keenan

“And thus the heart will break, yet brokenly live on.”
― George Gordon Byron

“Ghosts don't haunt us. That's not how it works. They're present among us because we won't let go of them.”
