song writing wrists
Instead of slashing my wrists, I just write a bunch of really crummy songs.
mother moving iceland
If I wasn't bound to Brooklyn, due to my own personal reasons like taking care of my mother and the fact that this is where the band is based, I would probably move to Iceland.
space southern intimate
It seems to be that southern Europeans are just more intimate socially, whereas I like a lot of personal space - like, a mile from the nearest person is fine for me.
mother tired people
My mother always told me if I really didn't wan to do something, if I was really tired, but if I had helped someone and I really went out of my way for them but I asked nothing for it, that I should donate my energy to the souls in purgatory-meaning that to give my goodness to those who are trapped. This is purgatory/limbo. This is a very Catholic thing that very few people really understand.
feelings
Yes, there are times when I get extremely depressed and how I sublimate those feelings is through music.
pain suffering earth
Have faith that when bad things happen to you, I belief in an after life, it is better to suffer here on Earth than what awaits you. That is why I pray for pain, and I get it. I do.
thinking negative type
I think all recent music sucks, and that includes Type O Negative.
people sometimes social
I just like being a social experiment sometimes. I really should not be allowed in public. But I just go out into the public just to see people's reaction.
inspirational softball hate
I like to put on hardcore when I have to clean my apartment, which I hate to do, but it's motivational. I like old heavy metal when I'm outside working on my car. Music has definite functions for me.
people pussy
Some people say I'm a pussy. I say, you are what you eat.
hate race humans
I hate the human race. Of course, therefore, I hate myself the most, because I am the least of the human race.
confused insecure confusion
I had hit a critical period in my life, where I changed very much as a person. I consider the person I used to be, dead, and I'm glad that he is. Insecure, frightened, confused, much like a lot of people I know today.
song sex writing
I stay way from that area, and there's only so many songs you can write about love, sex and death.
men yesterday years
I'm the product of 6 million years of evolution? Come on, man. I crawled out of a swamp yesterday.
