The Pain of Writing

When I write my lyrics I delve into the darkest places in my mind. My failures, my past addiction, bad relationships, the deaths of my parents only one year apart. My lyrics are my form of therapy, just public for everyone to see. I feel like an alien most days, like I don't belong or fit in. I seek deep connections. I seek humanity. My frustration with this little detour called life is central to my songs. 

As I'm finishing my upcoming album, "Novocaine" I'm really taking a moment to make sure that it's brutally honest. This is the most autobiographical album I've ever done. Like, it's brutal for me to listen back to the tracks as we start mixing them. Even the production is a bit more raw. I think this might be the first album that I'm really proud of. There's no pretense, no filters. It's just fucking raw honesty. 

Writing the songs that make up the album has been emotionally draining. I revisited things that I haven't thought about in years. I'll be posting some stuff to my FB and Instagram soon. If you're curious about my music just shoot me a follow on one of those platforms. 

One thing I can honestly say about this album is that it's actually me. It reflects the weird headspace I've been in for the last year. I'm not looking for millions of streams, I just want it to reasonate with at least one person. For me, the ability to show someone that they're not alone is priceless.
