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?

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 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.

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.
