I use the music as a tool. I don't write lyrics when I'm happy. I write them to ease pain. When I'm depressed, lonely, stressed -- that's when I reach for the lyric book. For me the music has always been where I go for that explosive catharsis. So, yes, its kind of limited in scope. But on the other hand, I don't ask a can of peaches to be a zebra either. ~ Henry Rollins (from NME UK, March 1997)
