I praise greed and deceptionI praise treachery and […]
It doesn’t take much to show kindnessBut it seems a little is too muchI don’t care to make connectionsMy soul you’ll never touch It’s all about meIn everything I doIt’s all about me I don’t care about you I don’t like the way you talkI don’t like anybody thinking differentlyI’m willing to destroy This whole […]
I don’t have too much moneyI live in a small houseI work two jobs when it’s sunnyAnd none with bad weather out But nothing’s more important Than a millionaire’s wealthCause they tell me I’m betterThan somebody else They’ll protect me from the caravansAs long as I agreeTo let ‘em hold on to their moneyFrom sea to […]

Following "Us", I wanted to explore writing song-stories, and did begin work on some initial ideas. Then, I was sidetracked by a burst of inspiration to write and record the "American Patriot" EP.

Progress is slow on "Us". Nothing bad happening. On the contrary. Recording is in progress and I'm really happy with how the tracks are coming out. The problem is, I keep introducing new songs into the cycle. It's a good problem to have for sure, but I have to figure out a way to focus […]
I suppose I will continue to reveal more songs as I finish them. I like getting stuff out there. The "Us" material is sounding great, and I can't wait to get it all done and share it. This one is called "Don't Say You're Sorry". Apparently, there's many other songs with the same title, but […]
There's something about putting pen to paper. For the last few years, I've been writing lyrics in google docs. There's some solid advantages to this.
