How

And this is what we've spent half our lives teaching ourselves:
How to burn yourself baking cookies on a slow summer day. How to kiss someone just so in a dead alleyway, how to find the people inside of you, how to break your own heart, how to hate and how to love. How to run and scream until you have nothing left on your back but your mind. What a burden. Poor child! Turn it off. Turn it off.

Or turn it up.

You can turn it up and say you have no problem with masochism.
You can turn it up and say there's nothing wrong. That you're gone gone gone.
You can turn it up say you don't want to be happy.
Strangely enough, you won't be believed.
