█▓▒░Snapshot of a person's regular substance use/abuse summed up in a simple question: if we know it is wrong, why don't we stop?
Choose lit, yeah we all choose lit
Choose lit, why we all choose it?
Choose lit, yeah we all choose lit
You say it ain't right, but we all choose it
Substance and alcohol use and abuse are more than modern science, academia and medicine want us to believe. Addiction is real, but no one is an addict for life. The system just slaps you with a label for life. That doesn't heal. I hope this song can at least spark a conversation that can.

A song about the desire for sovereign, owned housing in a broken socioeconomic system.
I, I wanna buy, I wanna buy
I wanna buy a house, wanna buy a house by 35
Thirty five, I wanna thrive
I wanna stay alive, I wanna buy a house by 35
I wrote this when I realized I needed a house because because I didn't feel comfortable/free to make music and sing how I wanted to in apartments anymore.

A song about having a crush (or more like being obsessed with someone), wanting to know that they feel the same way, and relying on the old adage of "if you love it, let it go."
Let go of it, do my thang
And I know you'll come back to me like a boomerang
Like a boomerang-rang-rang, like a boomerang
Like a boomerang-rang-rang, like a boomerang
The experience of producing this song with Mike Rogers was invaluable. It's a fan favorite, just like Life is a Ride.

Narrative song of an exciting first encounter at a party that leads to a platonic sleepover, leaving the narrator high and dry.
One of the few narrative style songs I've written. I was so close to reliving my middle school "straight guy" fantasy (that turned into a reality) but this time, he got away. Never heard from him again. Everything in the song is true, by the way.

Asking big and tough questions about life, death, ancient history, religion and faith.
This life is confusing me, who am I?
When did I learn how to breathe?
I found a way, I made it
Everybody gonna find out now
Everybody gonna find out
Admittedly, this was when I was denouncing Christianity, specifically Jesus in this song. That was before I learned who Jesus really was and how modern Christianity is disconnected from his true teachings and life's purpose.
