And I don't mean it in like any...

Possessive way or anything weird, but just like the second your devotion is turned somewhere else, the muse could leave you.

That might be as superstitious as throwing salt over your shoulder or whatever, but I honestly believe that.

And it makes it difficult in life because life isn't.

just the muse.

Life isn't just the dream world that I live in and my imagination.

And the ideas have to come from somewhere.

It's not just singing and dancing and you have to have ideas.

What is this?

You know, for me, I I've always had to be involved with every aspect, the album covers, the stage design, the fucking laminate, everything has to fit into a world that I can feel like I want to inhabit, you know, something that's comfortable and interesting.

And I think if you remove, so it's not just the musical part of the muse, it's the whole thing.

And I think if you're like, oh, you know what, I'm going to get into, I'm not, if my reverence for that goes away and even in the slightest, I feel that she will turn her back on me forever and I'll have nothing left.

No more poetry.

No more music.

Yeah, I could never, ever write lyrics on a screen.

I could never do it.

You write it on paper?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

I think, yeah.
