A collective is a group of entities that share or are motivated by at least one common issue or interest, or work together on a specific project(s) to achieve a common objective.[citation needed] Collectives differ from cooperatives in that they are not necessarily focused upon an economic benefit or saving (but can be that as well). There may be some issues with meaningfully describing the qualities of a collective.
Collectives are sometimes characterised by attempts to share and exercise political and social power and to make decisions on a consensus-driven and egalitarian basis.
A commune or intentional community, which may also be known as a "collective household", is a group of people who live together in some kind of dwelling or residence, or in some other arrangement (e.g. sharing land). Collective households may be organized for a specific purpose (e.g. relating to business, parenting, or some other shared interest).
The term "collective" is sometimes used to describe a species as a whole—for example, the "human collective."
Tonight
it could be the end
it could be the end of our lives
our last good-byes
won't you stay?
and see something great
i don't want to waste tonight
this place is ours when the lights go down
let's make this last - make it our own
let's close this place down
you won't be lonely here
you won't be lonely here
you won't be lonely... tonight
tonight
forget your mistakes
leave all the ashes behind
just for tonight
tear away
or just stay outside
choose either way - decide
this place is ours when the lights go down
no one knows if tomorrow's gonna come
let's stay out all night... tonight
tonight... let's close this place down tonight
make it our own
our own
make it our own
our own
