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

I was real good at music and real bad at everything else.

Just sitting around waiting for my life to begin, while it was all just slipping away.

I know I ain't nobody's bargain, but hell a little touchup and a little paint.

I'm not in any rush. I'm not somebody who, if I write a song, I get it out. That's not something I've ever really quite done.

My soul is lost, my friend, tell me how do I begin again? My city's in ruins, my city's in ruins.

Getting an audience is hard. Sustaining an audience is hard. It demands a consistency of thought, of purpose, and of action over a long period of time.
