And me I'm in my bedroom drawing in my notebook Because my hand thinks I'm an artist But my heart knows I'm a poet It's just words they mean so little to me.

When everything is lonely I can be my best friend.

I think different musical collaborators bring out different qualities in my songs and I like that.

I wanna be your happiness. I wanna be your common sense pain.

I think there's a danger, for me at least, in retreating and going inward and depression. I have to stay diligent against that tendency.

Maybe there's a different story when it comes to hip-hop or different genres, but as far as rock music goes, I think there is a sort of fear of saying things people might be apt to criticize. Our band is the opposite of that.

The one recurring theme in my writing, and in my life in general, is confusion. The fact that anytime you think you really know something, you're going to find out you're wrong - that is the rule. The moments where you think you have something figured out, those are the exceptions.
