Spoiler alert: some of my all-time favorite Bush lyrics are:

"I Wear Your Mind Like a Sweater, All Mine"

"She covered me in loneliness"

"I'm never alone; Im alone all the time"

"She saw the pieces of her yesterday, she wondered how she'd fade away, who would love her, and really listen in whether she had made a difference"

"try to wrap your arms around a memory; maybe you are not where you're meant to be lord knows we're not who we think we are"
