[after My Eternity]
Iha:

[after I Fall]
Corgan:
The reason we aren't playing with a drummer, is because we had a drummer and he fucked everything up, so why fuck everything up if you know what I mean. I mean I don't like playing with the drum machine anymore than you like hearing it, but I don't have a drummer so I'll play here. You know we don't fucking just like make this shit up out of air. It takes a lot of time and you know, I would like to be here with a drummer and everything it'd be kosher. This my friends is a song for you.

Me singing? This song is a step forwards, a step backwards all at the same time. I think we all know about that in our little lives including me.
