Consume more than you need This is the dream Make you pauper Or make you queen I won't die lonely I'll have it all prearranged A grave that's deep and wide enough For me and all my mountains o'things

This youthful heart can love you and give you what you need, but I'm too old to go chasing you around wasting my precious energy.

I've seen and met angels wearing the disguise of ordinary people living ordinary lives.

It's time to start all over/make a new beginning.

My older sister encouraged me from early on and bought me one of the first guitars I had. She listened to all of the crappy songs that I wrote when I was 8 years old and encouraged me to keep doing it.

Everyone is looking for connections between the songs. I don't usually approach a record as a concept. There's no overriding theme I'm trying to represent. It's all about the individual songs.

I think it's important, if you are an artist, to use your music to stand up for what you believe in.
