About Me


I didn't think The English Patient was boring.
I like popping bubble wrap as I sip green tea and read Dostoyevsky.
Any other questions, please direct them to my publicist. Thank you.

MY LYRICS - VARIOUS EXCERPTS
i've always loved the way that you look at me
a certain essence of pure tranquility
and in your blood is a pulsating foresight
two separate worlds about to sweetly collide
*****
centuries past
a million different moments lost
a last first kiss, lips lock, inside a world of snow and frost
a blanket of white is all that shows itself for miles
and somewhere in-between two lovers share their love-drunk smiles
*****
well it's surely not copasetic
to be poetic
tears aren't aesthetic
conversations turn to memories that are too hard to hear
well it probably sounds ironic
to be sardonic
it's quite iconic
silhouettes sip wine while words are lost in the blindfold of our time
*****
she's crawling toward him
in a black dress that is ripped at the hem
eyeliner-tears
she's such a cliche
he takes a sip of wine
and puts his glass right down on the floor
he's turned on
by her disarray
*****
collaboration with a constant shade of grandeur and grey
a fool's facade and a dying bouquet
*****
elusive contact
perpetual playback
memories up on a screen
authentic yet not pristine
*****
no candles burning
since you've been gone
just dry wax cracking
still time moves on
*****
she's in the bathtub
soaking up the wounds in her soul
and she says 'i miss yesterday'
he's in the bedroom
kissing lips that never belonged
his lost heart feels like crumbling clay
*****
nobody said that life was fair
chance and circumstance can be rich, can be bare
if we could write the fate of our most intimate prayer
would we be better off or collide in despair?
*****
there's no memory too far to hold
no action that's too bold
no vision that's too clear
no course too tired to steer
desires that are doused in gold
dreams lived and breathed not told
and a repertoire run wild
beyond the innocence of a child
*****
and she hopes that he'll be there
just the way she left him
when their lips were parted
when their fingertips lost touch
and when the plane was leaving
and when her tears were held back
until he was
just out of sight
*****
and she stares at the soldiers
like they're evil monsters
like they're there to hurt her
or simply confiscate her heart
she wishes they were lying
the shock engulfs her every bone
until her world simply implodes
*****
destiny
is an illusion based on fiction of man
potential promise can be buried in the sand
and never surface like it should
*****
some people waste away
in all of their decadence
others are led astray
living in the past tense
*****
suits left on the cement
wet skin meets for the grand charade
*****
consequences
well fuck them
just take your chances
dare to dream
your soul advances
a pinnacle of faith and trust in yourself
*****
intimidation
well fuck that it's not in my foundation
nor is it part of my identification
on this rough road you must know this
you are my light
*****
inbetween the good times and the bad
the blur of life that disappears before it's even truly had
don't try to stop it now
you won't succeed
this i avow
just live
give in
enjoy a thing i call 'the moment's now'
*****
buckle in
it's time for an amazing ride
one stipulation though
your feelings you can't hide
reveal yourself and all the things that you desire
never hold back
attain the highest high of highs
place your faith deep down inside yourself
control emotions
rid ill notions
grasp a better state of health
continually improve the image, aura, that's your own
just holla back
remember this
throughout you're not alone
