I must've dreamed a thousand dreams; Been haunted by a million screams; But I can hear the marching feet; They're moving into the street; Now did you read the news today?; They say the danger's gone away; But I can see the fires still alight; They're burning into the night ~Genesis #photography

I've learned that If you try to chase the sun, you're never gonna catch it; And now it's turning out to be the worst of my bad habits; Maybe smoking one more cigarette won't turn your lungs to ashes; But all it takes is gas to burn a city down with matches~Jonah Kaden
