I never wanted to sing. I just wanted to play rhythm guitar – hide in the back and just play. But during those high school years when I was playing guitar in my bedroom, I at least had the intuition that I had to write my own songs.
I've never been a very prolific person, so when creativity flows, it flows. I find myself scribbling on little notepads and pieces of loose paper, which results in a very small portion of my writings to ever show up in true form.
I write poems for myself and I write poetry that gets torn apart and becomes songs. I have a lot of respect for words, the power of words.
There's definitely some pieces in there that reflect on my personal life, but really, they aren't as personal as everybody thinks they are. I would like them to be more personal. The emotions, the songs themselves are personal. I can't do it - I've tried to write personally and it just doesn't seem to work. It would be too obvious. Some things that you could read in could fit into anyone's life that had any amount of pain at all. It's pretty cliche'.
to mature, to me...is to wimp out...I hope I diebefore i turn into pete towshend
Mom hates dad, Dad hates mom, it all makes you feel so sad.
My lyrics are a big pile of contradictions. They're split between very sincere opinions and feelings that I have, and sarcastic opinions and feelings that I have, and sarcastic and hopeful, humorous rebuttles towards cliche, bohemian ideals that have been exhausted for years. I meean, I like to be passionate and sincere, but I also like to have fun and act like a dork... Geeks Unite.
Nobody deserves to have their personal life pried into like I did and no one deserves to hear me whine about it so much.
But when I did it, the thread unraveled. So I ended up jabbing in the needle and pouring ink all over my arm.
My mother died every night...it's safe to say, don't quote me on that.
I wish I was like you, easily amused.
I hate it when people take the things I say and turn them into something sexual. Just because it's funny to them, doesn't mean everyone is going to take it that way. And I don't.
Holding my baby is the best drug in the world.
Thought the sun is gone, I have a light.
