 "It’s scary to watch someone you love go into the centre of himself and confront
 fears... Fear of failure, fear of death, fear of going insane
 You have to fail a little, die a little, go insane a little to come out the other side."
Break  my  heart slowly
Dora  Maar  said to me
She  came  to me in a  dream
Reaching  out for  luck  with  fear
 She said:
"Hold  on, hold on,  hold on  to your gun"
It  was cold,  the  night  was  black
You  could  feel her  freezing  hands
Exiting a  life of chance
Painted dead  a million  times
 She said:
"Hold  on, hold on,  hold on  to your gun"
If  your life has changed
If  it makes no sense
You  can carry on
If  you still belong
If  your life has changed
If  it makes no sense
You  can carry on
If  you still belong
C’mon,  c’mon, c’mon,  c’mon, c’mon,
 c’mon
Break  my  heart slowly
Break  my  heart slowly
So  c’mon  now, c’mon  now
So  c’mon,  c’mon,  c’mon
So  c’mon  now, c’mon  now
So  c’mon,  c’mon,  c’mon
 End on C*
