| “ | It is blurry for a moment, but my senses start to focus. I see myself. I become you. The rockstar I always wanted to be. I have everything. The world is under my control. Why did I ever worry? I have found complete bliss. I was created in your image. Or perhaps, I created you in my image. | „ |

| “ | I am sitting at my throne, in the tallest tower. The empire had gotten too big. It was built on broken promises, it had to fall eventually. I didn't expect she would be the one to do it. All I wanted to do was sing, and you took it away. She told me. Then a bullet through my brain. And a fall from the tallest tower in the city. | „ |

| “ | A cold, desolate world that will eat you alive. I thought I could find safety in this world. As long as I had my special rockstar. Yet eventually, slamming my heart against the rough pavement. I gave out. It was all too much. I could never fix it all, I only brought destruction. Scattered my mind across the instruments, rust and dirt of my kingdom. And died alone in some abandoned gutter. | „ |

| “ | A never ending tour of life. WE had the music, the drugs, the love. I had my special rockstar. Reality was always following us, just out of sight. The party ended and the dream collapsed. We weren't gods, we weren't saviors. Just two lost mortals overestimating our grasp. The crash came down hard and left me dying on the side of the road. Looking up into an endless sky. | „ |

| “ | I see you, but from a distance. Every moment I recorded, analyzed and repeated. What was creating these emotions? I could not explain, next to you I felt so small. I knew everything about you, but you didn't recognize me. How could I live with this unresponsive love? | „ |
| ~ Static, in the Observer ending |
| “ | I can't see past my fear. You are mine all mine, you are mine all mine, you are mine all mine. Your song was for me and for me alone. Just outside of your house with a gun and my unending love for you. Emerging from your private estate... You looked up into the cold red sun, your body shaking, you spoke. Why did it end this way? Lord, I just wanted to sing. Then you collapsed limply to the dry concrete, and like that, my world ended. | „ |
