"Existence precedes essence."

"Trace the stars with your fingers in hopes you’ll connect the dots, but don’t get caught in the lines that aren’t really there ‘cause there is life in every breath you take and there is hope with every move you make, and every single mistake you think you’ve made should make you feel alive ‘cause you only have one chance to live in this spec we call life."

"Music, and art for that matter, to me is not about true meaning to anyone else but yourself. If I told you the meaning of it all from my point of view it would erase the intimacy of art. I feel like art is up for interpretation, so if I told you my meaning, how could you truly relate it to anything that “you” personally are going through?? That is the beauty of art and music in particular."

"You can’t force creativity, you’ll hate yourself for doing so. It all comes in waves, like life, but the key is being true to yourself. As long as you accomplish that, then the creativity will flow."

"Soon madness has worn you down. It’s easier to do what it says than argue. In this way, it takes over your mind. You no longer no where it ends and you begin. You believe anything it says. You do what it tells you, no matter how extreme or absurd. If it says you’re worthless, you agree. You plead for it to stop. You promise to behave. You are on your knees before it, and it laughs."

"I hope the sun shines and it’s a beautiful day and something reminds you, you wish you had stayed. You can plan for a change in the weather and time, but I never planned on you changing your mind."

"Please excuse my constant reveries and lapses of thought. My words aren’t sincere, my mind is not clear. And nothing I do will ever be “art”."

Small as a peanut,
Big as a giant,
We’re all the same size
When we turn off the light.

Rich as a sultan,
Poor as a mite,
We’re all worth the same
When we turn off the light.

Red, black or orange
Yellow or white,
We all look the same
When we turn off the light.

So maybe the way
To make everything right
Is for God to just reach out
And turn off the light.

"Nothing ever works out, does it? Nobody ever waits. Nobody ever loves anyone properly, do they?"
