I don't cuss in songs. It's too easy.

If I lose the light of the sun, I will write by candlelight, moonlight, no light. If I lose paper and ink, I will write in blood on forgotten walls. I will write always. I will capture nights all over the world and bring them to you

I believe that capitalism, at least how it's used by major corporations, and environmental concerns are in opposition.

They want a return on their investment.
