Ugly people hate beautiful things. And being different is beautiful.

A lament for who I used to be, atonement for what I've become.

Neither Ray Bradbury nor I ever plan on dying.

I want for one kid to grow up and become the superhero or wizard or ninja or princess that he or she dreamed of becoming before adults put limitations on those dreams.

Written for a girl who loved glitter and castles. I gave her a castle, too, but she made her home elsewhere.

This is a song about you.

Written on demand in ten minutes at a coffeehouse. Everyone was impressed, including me.
