This music is forever for me. It's the stage thing, that rush moment that you live for. It never lasts, but that's what you live for.

Together, we'll live with the sadness. I'll love you with all the madness in my soul.

And at the time, for one of the few times in my life I didn't have a band, I just had myself and the guitar, so I was going to have to do something with just my voice, just the guitar and just my songs that was going to move someone enough to give me a shot. So I wrote songs that were very lyrically alive and lyrically dense. And they were unique, but it really came out of the motivation to - or I understood it was - I was going to have to make my mark that way.

I'm laughing at you, you're laughing at me.

Outside the street's on fire in a real death waltz between what's flesh and what's fantasy.

Most of these - most people's stage personas are created out of the flotsam and jetsam of their internal geography.

I've had an experience through music that has touched almost every part of me. It educated me in ways that I didn't get educated in school. So we try to lay on a bit of that, through being funny, being serious, playing hard.
