    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! I wrote out the name for each one on the 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

I heard the words you said
when were drifting off to bed.
When you told me you were in search
of some kind of heaven.

I'm aware this world is rough.
All those politicians just bluff,
while the mommies prepare their babes
for Armageddon.

And I would not say I'm wise.
I've just seen with my two eyes
stronger swimmers than you
drowning in Heineken.

So may your love shine through
every single thing you do.
May you try and touch the stars
and fail and find that what makes them shine
is what makes you what you are.

And what you are is a dim but steady light.

What you are, it just calms me down at night.

What you are is a lovesick lullaby.

Have you listened to the post-modern blues?
They play it daily on the 24 hour news.
I think it sounds quite a bit like
self-righteous indignation.

And I cannot think of one thing
beyond celebrity-gossip magazines
and a sense of unending hunger
that unites this nation.

But when I remember the cracks in your skin
and that steady gaze when you truly listen,
it reminds me that the pains in my bones are
the seeds of salvation.

So, may our love shine through
every single thing we do.
May we try and steal the stars
and fail and find that what makes them shine
is what makes us what are.

And what we are is our only source of light.

What we are, it just rings on through the night.

What we are is a lovesick lullaby

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