In my little world, I'm very protected 'cause I'm treated like the idiot I am by my buddies. But, a little bit outside that world, people sometimes expect heavy things from me. For a little time, I tried to appease and not disappoint people but in the end you're just going to kill yourself and fail if you're trying to give more than you are.
Devendra BanhartNow everybody knows about this thing that's my secret. It was my thing, the music I turned to when I was alone and needed it. It's what helps me get through these times. It's just between me and music, and now it's been shared with the world.
Devendra BanhartI'm one of those people that if you're told that if you put your hand in the fire, you'll burn your hand, I won't listen.
Devendra BanhartAnd because my teeth don't bite, I can take them out dancing I can take my little teeth out and show them a real good time
