I'm writing songs with the hope someone can get behind my feeling.

When I was growing up in school, I wasn't the archetype of the classic American nerd; I was just different.

There's absolutely no one in the world that can tell you can't do something. You're the only person that can set that limitation.

Believe none of what you hear...and even less of what you see...this is what we`ll be.

Me personally, I side more with punk rock bands. I grew up with The Misfits, The Dead Boys, The Damned, Dropkick Murphys, and early AFI. That was the stuff that really got me into music. Song writing wise, bands like Alkaline Trio were very important to me for beginning to write songs.

Bathe in your riches and friends, I'll stay here with my songbooks and pens

Find something that is a happy, healthy alternative to hurting yourself, as opposed to taking a razor blade to yourself because at the end of the day, you're only hurting the most important person in the world and that's you. And you don't want to hurt that person.
