sleep sound complaining
We got in after a ten hour drive after sleeping for four hours. I'm not complaining here. I'm really not complaining. Ten hour drive to get here, we unload, we sound check, we get here we take photos, we do this. I haven't eaten anything today. It's like... And I'm not even hungry.
real names fake
Real person. real name. I won't divulge too much, but it's not a fake name. And it's not a fake person. I guess that's the best answer I can say: It's not a fake name and it's not a fake person. But it's not her real name and it's not a real person either.
marijuana night dope
My favorite idea is doing an all-night tent show starring my friend's band Marijuana Deathsquads, where everyone would wear super-loud headphones, and there would be tons of subs and lights. It'd be really dope.
needs week overflow
Oftentimes I’ll just overflow, and then I’ll need to spend a week alone and not talk to anybody or call anybody.
rocks indie-rock worry
Indie rock is just as susceptible - if not more susceptible - to all the gross things about people becoming total ass clowns in music, and only worrying about money and image. I'm not interested in being a part of that.

Our lives feel like these epochs, but really, we are dust in the wind.

I'm up in the woods, I'm down on my mind. I'm building a still, to slow down the time.
needs weight skinny
You’re in a relationship because you need help, but that’s not necessarily why you should be in a relationship. And that’s skinny. It doesn’t have weight. Skinny love doesn’t have a chance because it’s not nourished.
jobs thinking people
I just feel like why spend all my time doing something that makes me unhappy just to spend my time off thinking about how I have to go back to a job. It's such a vicious cycle that people get stuck in. But I'm also very lucky. I can't sit here too eagerly and say all that.
magnificent
At once i knew i was not magnificent.
thinking long long-love
But in any situation with long love, I don’t think it ever goes away fully. You just sort of learn where to keep it.
sadness feels
The easiest thing to feel is sadness.
cool music playing proud
I'm just happy and proud to be playing music every day. Recognition is really cool, but it can also be kind of scary.
