I don't pretend to be any smarter than Average Joe. To be honest, I'm not even sure what I'm saying half the time. My vocabulary is not as big as my lyrics would suggest. That said, I've always had a passion for creative writing, language and wordplay. I think a singer has a dual opportunity to be artistic: I have my voice as my instrument, but I also have an entire language at my disposal. Why not explore the outer realms? I'd be doing this band an injustice if I did anything less. I wanted this album to be more poetic, with less ranting and raving, and I think I did that, but without sacrificing my intellect or personal philosophies.
