JAKE: So lost in myself, this cure is just an opiate, something I need from time to time to get me by day to day, to fill me up and make me whole. Solid ground is solid ice. My footing's gone, and all is lost in these words. I heal myself in these words. I hurt myself in these words. I doom myself. Will I face myself?
TOM: I thought that this could take the place. I thought that this could fill a void. Consumed by selfishness, I stumble and see my fears are still exposed. So sure that I had broken this fall, but inside I fall apart. I never said what needs to be said. Go on lost yourself, take the bait. Go on hide your head in your dismay. The past 12 years are like a movie and I play myself every time. At the expense of hose I care for, never seeing what's beneath. I separate for nothing.
