I've got one hand in my pocket, and the other hand out of my pocket. And that man he doesn't know me, but that man, he doesn't owe me anything, anything. And sometimes the most beautiful people are also the saddest people. For example, look at Elvis Presley. He was quite depressed now, wasn't he? I've got one hand in Lake Michigan and the other hand in the Pacifica Ocean. My mother was a Kennedy, but then she got married, and now, her name is not the same. And sometimes the most beautiful people are also the saddest people. For example, look at Elvis Presley. He was quite depressed now, wasn't he?

For the bible tells me so, I will not go. I bought a pack of Marlboros, and now I'm home. If God grants me one wish, then he will tell me why I feel like dying most of the time. But I will not go. No, I will not go. No ,I will not go. Because the bible tells me so. Jesus came to me one day when I was sad. He told me to pray for mama and my dad. And then I asked very man where he was born. He told me in stable with some strange men and a unicorn. (Whistles) For the bible tells me so, I will not go. I bought a pack of Marlboros and now I'm home. If God grants me one wish, then he will let me die. So all my friends can meet and make each-other cry. But I will not go. No I will not go. No I will not go. Because the bible tells me so.

I must protect my soul from being sold to the devil. I must protect my soul from being sold to the devil. I must protect my heart from torn out and ripped apart. I must protect my heart from torn out and ripped apart. Cause all I know, all I know, all I know, all I know, all I know, all I know, all I know, all I know, is that I gotta protect my souls, I gotta protect my soul, I must protect my soul. I must protect my body, it ain't nobody's but mine. I must protect my body, it ain't nobody's but mine. I must protect my mind; when it rains I don't know if its me or if its God crying. I must protect my mind; when it rains I don't know if its me or if its God crying. But, all I know, all I know, all I know, all I know, all I know, all I know, all I know, all I know, is that I gotta protect my soul, I gotta protect my soul, I must protect my soul.

The Devil knows that I'm here. Oh he is listening. Oh he is listening. And the struggle, is that I don't seem to care. That he is listening. That he is listening. And my best friends, well she's addicted to heroine. But, she's gonna get better now, cause learnin ask for help. And my brother, he's got his six years-older molars now. As my mother tells me, that his baby teeth are ghostly. Well mostly, the Devil knows that I am here. And he is listening. Oh his is listening. And the trouble, is that I like his company. Cause he tells me good things. He tells me that he loves me.

about

I recorded these demos while living in a brick apartment building on the North Side of Chicago. I spent most of my time back then going to record shops, drinking coffee, going for long walks through the city, and attending classes about art. It was a beautifully painful and intense time in my life. I made some of the most talented friends. I played a few house shows and am beyond thankful for the DIY music scene that took me in and made me realize that being vulnerable with my music was not only a talent but a personal life resource.
