  1. Here's part 2 of my new series about the songs of my upcoming album "But Live It", out on 23rd January on Bandcamp.

    A cliff diver standing high above the blue water deep below him. He’s about to jump in a few seconds and thoughts rush through his mind. They seem random, but they also seem to come from deep inside himself.

  2. Riddle:

    My whole life had conditioned me
    To hide my deep duplicity,
    And I’m a man of many faults.
    So I procured rare chemical salts
    And mixed them with a red solution.
    Now, to reverse my devolution
    I must restock my workshop shelves
    Or lose both my conflicted selves.

    Who am I? (Or, who are we?)

  3. "My Secret to Success"

    I think I can—that’s all that counts.
    As long as I pour every ounce
    Of being into my blind belief
    Despite reality, the chief
    Concern is not how competent
    I am or even my intent,
    But rather whether I’ve thrown out
    Every last shred of reasonable doubt.

  4. "My True Self"

    Throughout my normal childhood
    A silhouette in shadows stood
    Beside me as I walked along
    The narrow path. It was wrong,
    They said, to talk to strangers, so
    I acted like I didn’t know.
    For forty years, that forced rejection
    Blinded me to my own reflection.

  5. "My Main Problem"

    I need protection from the eyes
    Of evil wizards and their spies,
    Plus I’ve got demons to expel.
    And so I’m mixing up a spell
    To bind and banish them before
    They gain the threshold of my door,
    But it’s unlikely they’ll relent…
    I’m missing a Key Ingredient.
