Be Me

I Still Want More (R. Stevie Moore)

Codex (Radiohead cover)

Quality Control

We Are All The Same

In a hundred years time
Your problems right now will still be the same
Go march in the street
Just don't expect to effect change

We are fickle people
Love new fancy shiny things
I may love you deeply,
...but that don't mean I love you more than my diamond ring

Occupy Yourself

You can control how you see you,
others can't be controlled... no matter you do.

Interpretations from station to station,
one human to human, one nation to nation.

I distracted myself...for so long,
I avoided the truth...thinking that it was wrong.

So I listened...to a dead man's song,
realizing that this...is what its like when your gone.

So spit out your plum,
and pick up your drum,
all these thoughts in your head,
get them out before your dead.

From the darkness...I stepped into the light,
Now I put up a fight for my so called life.

For My So Called Life

Don't Worry

I'm moving along not as fast as I'd like, but I've learned that's alright
Its amazing the things I used to believe before I was alone and free
Things will always get you if you let them try, this is what I do to feel the world and be alive
Here it comes the things I knew would catch up to me, I was such a fool
People think that I am smart, but they don't know that I don't know anything
They say Ian, man I wanna be like you, you seem so free, you seem so free

This Is What I Do

Don't have to see to believe
Or maybe you'd rather bleed
Your mouth just won't let you be
Your words mean nothing to me
Please someone
Please understand me
I've been myself form the get go come and set me free
Still got that childhood wonder
Though I'm not getting any younger
Don't believe in back in the day
Whats in my is today
Been given opportunities
ADHD made me freeze
Please someone
Please understand me
I've been myself from the get go come and set em free
Still got that childhood wonder
Though I'm not getting any younger
Still fall in love everyday
When someone looks my way
Why can't I seize the moment
Knowing the answer doesn't make things OK
