The name "Morgellons" (pronounced Mor-gell-ins...gell rhyming with bell)was taken from an episode of Dateline I saw where people believed that fibers were growing inside their body and caused them great physical pain and itching, despite no such disease actually existing. This condition is called Morgellons and is not recognized by the medical community.

It's about my frustration of dealing with physical pain brought on by anxiety.

Morgellons

About a girl I knew being in a bad relationship and trying to decide whether or not to intervene by telling her private information that would cause her to breakup with the guy. We did, and it was for the best.

The title is a reference to how many tries it took to approach her about it.

Experiments No. 1, 2, & 3

A song I could never figure out, so I ended up just looping it twice and calling it a day. It would have been about how someone very important within a small community has no influence outside of it.

The title is a reference to an episode of The Twilight Zone.

On Thursday We Leave For Home

Not knowing whether or not something will work out regarding someone you love.

Almost every line is a reference to the movie Dr. Strangelove and includes a sample of dialog from the movie.

Fluoride Bomb

Another one about living in Marion, Indiana where a large portion of the population was employed by a factory that made tubes for CRT televisions. 

Basically, wondering why you're in a bad situation despite the reason for it being obvious. Tried my best Reubens Accomplice impersonation on this one. Features vocals by Christie!

Sleeping On The Moon (feat. Christie Frey)

The first part is about proposing to Christie in the winter and driving back to Indiana in the summer where a field in the middle of nowhere was lit with hundreds of fireflies. Beautiful things of which I felt totally undeserving.

The second part is about living in Indiana by myself and how being isolated in a desolate place can be destructive. The original line was "I hate Indiana, I want to move back." Once Christie and I got married and moved in together, it was changed to "we miss Illinois and we want to move back."

Control Things With Light

This song is about how a group of people who were once bullied can become bullies themselves without realizing it. Specifically, a group of art majors at the school I went to who were townies.

Title is taken from a Strong Bad email.
