Make me remember you like you remember me

Staying in a hopeless and miserable situation doesn't make you loyal, it just makes you miserable.
Be loyal to your own piece of mind.
You know me, but you don't know me. I give you what I want to give you. I relate to villains like that - but I'm not out to destroy the world.

I can never be Michael Jackson or do what he did, but he is definitely a good inspiration: I want to give the kids that feeling.
What does it mean when your heart's already numb? You're a professional.
