They melted the mountains for us, dear
It was for us that they poisoned our planet
They drove all those species to the brink of extinction
for our comfort, our safety, and our pleasure
I strangled myself in service to the monsters I made
I called to Death, “take me,”
then I hid from the first sign of his cloak
I negotiated my salary using imaginary numbers
and wiped the slate clean with alcohol
Now I wait for the sun to tell me lies
it just tortures me with the cruelties of truth

New album "Observations" available now.

In 2020, quarantining from the global pandemic he worked remotely with other artists to record a collection of new music called Observations, that infuses his punk roots with introspective acoustic pieces.
