    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

This whole god damn world is a mirror.
I tried my best to turn away from it.
I was ashamed of it, I guess.

And when I turned, I turned forever.
Like a ballerina who had confused grace
with saving face.
My life was whizzing by.

This whole god damn world is a mirror.
I tried my best to run away from it,
I was afraid of it, I guess.

I ended up on top of Mt. Tremper.
The stars shined brighter there than anything
I had ever seen.
In fact, they gave me sight.

And then I watched you as struggled to free yourself
from the shackles that were inside of your head.
It was like watching a child resist the arms
of his mother when she would lay him in bed, oh lord...

Surprise, surprise: He still got fed.

Sometimes I hide inside of my brain.
It's lonely there but its safe

And I know when I go that I will go unstained
You could never stain this mind.
It's as much yours as mine.

This is as much yours as it could ever be called "mine".
So, I hope, my love, when your skin starts caving in from time
that you will still sip on my love like a well-aged wine.

And please do not waste one more of your beautiful tears
on the youth that you lost, for you never really owned it my dear.

If there's one thing I've learned, it's that Earth just turns for
itself.
