This is how it works

Take it all 

Or none at all 

There is no in-between

For every perfect chord

There’ll be a broken string

Word of wisdom, a fool’s mistake

Kissing the sky, a humiliating kneel

A child’s birth, a waiting – or worse

Morning, night

Intimacy, loneliness 

Vindication, crushing defeat

Hope, despair

Take it all

Or none at all

There is no other way
