I never edit the songs that come out. And they tend to come out as a whole. The closest thing I have ever done to editing them is just cutting out a verse, but never rewriting lyrics.

I'm a lot more observational than personal in my writing. My writing is mostly a lot of questions without answers.

I think your most intimate thoughts are only honest when they're in your head.
