about

A pleasantly caustic celebration of becoming a solo artist while leaving behind the clamor of disruptive personalities in bands vying for the usual ego gratification.

lyrics

Spotlight is showing
Perform my inspirations
As I'm obvious to no one
Cozen the dozens
That gang in adulation
As they tell you how they love it

This is the day
I'll open up through the night
If they could hear what I say
Tonight

Demotic incentive
Medication fails
All you are is act and restive
Pen your name on our cover
Explain participation to those that say
They dug it

This is the day
I'll open up through the night
If they could hear what I say
Tonight

Sitting around sometimes
You'd say to me
That we know
When I'm onstage
I yank the rug out below

Thirsty, Thirsty, First Tease

This is the day
I'll open up through the night
If they could hear what I say
Tonight
