Oh darkness, I feel like letting go.

We try to create this interesting appearance to make ourselves feel better about ourselves.

I'm an eternal optimist with a small degree of cynicism.

I think one of the most important things, that this album is for me, and this period in my life, is about gratitude. About recognizing all of the things, daily, that I'm grateful for, and there are many in my life. I'm just so blessed, and I try to carry that with me every day.

We are in an age of technology where we sit in our little cubicles and we IM each other and Skype each other and never connect as human beings.

Through this world I've stumbled, so many times betrayed, trying to find an honest word, to find the truth enslaved.

I've learned to trust myself, to listen to truth, to not be afraid of it and to not try and hide it.
