  • "First Run" DIY Compact Disc
    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    I have made a run of 100 CDs. All the Metadata is on it, and the quality is the same as the digital download. I made neat stencils myself and burned/spray-painted each one individually, which means each one is a one of a kind! The price is five dollars. You can also pay more if you feel so inclined. I certainly would appreciate it, as I have very little money to my name! You will also need to pay for shipping... WOOOO!

lyrics

You were a camera that never went blind.
You studied yourself.
Yes, You studied yourself.

I was a photogenic silent type.
I relied on myself.
I mean, I lied to myself.

We formed a river that had to run dry.
We bathed in each other,
then we drained each other.

They formed a jury, examined the facts.
They honored themselves.
Yeah, they honored themselves.

I was a lawyer with a venomous tongue.
I lied to myself- Shit.. I mean...
I relied on myself!

And you were the witness
I called to the stand.
You only recalled what you couldn't understand.

And there was a time when my mind was not
as crowded with doubts

No- it was consumed with you and your mouth and your smile and that way you would gossip.

You were a beautiful myth.

But now it's real and I can feel the effects on Non-action.

You were a beautiful Myth

You were a beautiful Myth but I let go of all Myths.

Just said, "Goodbye to all myths!"

You were a Beautiful myth.

I think, all things considered, the songs I write are much more listenable than the songs I don't write.
