My influences are frommany sounds and artists. I am moved by love, and I am captive to write and sing and I can never stop. I feel apart from any other artist when you listen and say that I am unlike anyone you've heard before.

Lyrics

We were friends we were lovers
I saved all my secrets for him
He was alright sometimes
Yet sometimes his rage would begin
And he said that he hated the world and its tactics
And he hated his mother for the way she behaved
And he said he would love me
But we weren't lovers that way
These are the things that he said

I caused him to love sometimes
I caused him to wonder
And although he lived darkness 
I saw light in his thunder
But he tried ever so sadly 
And he pushed me away
So I left on the train for town

He started drinking too heavy
He started hating everything he found
He slipped into silence
And cut off his speech from my charms
He slept in the subways and he drank himself blind
I would go there to find him and I hoped he'd be fine
But nothing I did would help him change his mind

As he told me he hated me he pushed me away
And it hurt me too badly for me to help or to stay
Still I wish I had done more for his life that day
Instead I jumped on the train for town

That was ten thousand years ago hundreds of miles
And I never can change it turn the clock back just a while
And it drives me half crazy when I dream of the boy
Still I hope someone since helped the man

He gave into hatred he gave up his heart and his friends
And I was too young to realize
He was pushing his life to his end
And I look for him now in subways in alleys
In Salvations Army shelters and lines
It's probably better this way
Miles and miles ago
When I left on the train for town

Now I look for him everywhere
In subways in alleys
In old bars with burnouts
Hard driving rains
It's probably better this way
Keeping it years ago
When I left my heart
And I jumped on the train for town
