I found the secret to life; I'm okay when everything is not okay - Tori Amos

Yeah, there was a period in the late '80s where I was working with different shaman. Myself and a friend, Beene, would take ayahuasca - but it wouldn't be in the liquid form, it would be a freeze-dried pill - and mushrooms. Some of those trips were eighteen hours long and I'll never forget, once I ended up sitting by the bush trying to ask the flowers why they didn't like me. It's like, Why can't I be your friend? I was crawling out of my skin at that time. In my twenties I was really... I was just losing my mind.

I can't believe that I would keep, keep you from flying
And I would cry a thousand more
if that's what it takes to sail you home.

Nothing's gonna stop me from floating.
