soul devil slippery-slope
I walked along that slippery slope where if you fail through lack of faith, you sell your soul to the devil.

I'm too shy, really to be able to hang out with my heroes for too long.
reflection artist tyrants
People might say I'm difficult, but did you ever hear anyone describe a label as 'difficult'? By nature, artists should challenge. When they call you difficult, it is a reflection of the imbalance of power.

I believe in the power of music. I believe in it absolutely. It's never failed me. Never.

As I look back over my life, before I had any real identity, I was a traveler. I grew up an Army brat, a runaway, an activist, and a musician. All my life I've been traveling.
mean careers sailing
I try to look at this music career thing as the means to an end. And really, at the end of it, I see myself on a sailboat, sailing off the edge of the world.
writing acceptance past
Writing and singing does give me some kind of release from the demons of my past, it is a therapy of sorts, but to be honest, my marriage played a more important role in the acceptance of myself than performance has ever done.
philosophical circles ran
Their lives ran in circles so small They thought they'd seen it all
jesus two passionate
I'm passionate about two things: Jesus and liberation.
