But I know what it means to crave what you're not. To want to sew up that rift because it's exhausting to hold it open. Sometimes you just need to be someone else, someone who doesn't care about anything at all. I know I do. I want emptiness but I can't have it.

As a songwriter and musician, it strikes me that in music, a certain territorial nature when it comes to one's own autonomy around life and art is common and understood.

I'm really bad at being nonviolent.

The world is a violent child none of us will get to see grow up.

For me it comes down to one thing: I'm trying to follow my own nature.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of stance from the outside of that world to disagree.

I learned to live in my own head. I learned to follow intuition and more than anything, I learned what was important to me.
