"His eyes are wild, psychotic slits that bat-dance in your soul looking for good things to crush or bad elements to identify with."

Most songs have meager beginnings. You wake up in the morning, you throw on your suspenders, and you subvocalize and just think. They seem to form like calcium. I can't think of a story right off the bat that was that interesting. I write things on the back of my hand, usually, and sing into a tape recorder.
