    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

Were we right or were we wrong?
Well, we'll never really know.
But like donkeys, we will run
after that carrot on a rope.

And when we get it,
-IF we get it, that is...
When we get it,
if we get it, that is

will it be like we are younger?
Or braver or stronger or numb-er?

I do not know that much, I just know you
and the way that you laugh.

Yes, you. And the curve of your back.
Oh, you. You've got such a knack
for getting me grounded.

Are you here or are you there?
It depends on where you're not.

So bring that grindstone to your ear
and ask it what it wants

And when you hear it
-IF you hear it, that is...
When you hear it,
if you hear it, that is

Do you think it will bring you pleasures?
Or success in this world full of pressures?

Or do you think it will echo through your cells
like the pulse of a bell?

Through your cells, like a hero through hell?

Through your cells, like a coin down a well?

May you be your own fortune.

I watched you as you stumbled through Eden.
You were clothed in just your shame and a single leaf.

Have you ever hungered for freedom?
Or have you ever wondered what that word means?

We'll find out, baby, when we stop breatin'.
And when that moment comes, do not worry.

'Cause we're going home...

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