I make music. Some think it's strange, others think it's strange. However, it just is because that's how it turned out.

Lyrics
The old man's wrinkles make him feel Like he's losing worth in staying around, But, to us, they do reveal Secrets of life to be passed down. Each concave upon his face Supplies us with new ways to grow. The skin these lines replace Has become our own. Trace your fingers along the lines That mark the face of life forgotten. And memories lost along with time Just deepen what we see as rotten. Face your wrinkles as gifts from life To remind you of what has happened. Instead of dreading the passage of time, Learn to read the code of your skin. The old man's mirror makes him shudder-- He's lost one hair after another. But each hair is more weight on the top. It's a burden, and it's got to stop sometime. But what about his failing vision? He played no part in that decision. It is only nature's way To keep you from seeing you age. Trace your fingers along the lines That mark the face of life forgotten. And memories lost along with time Just deepen what we see as rotten. Face your wrinkles as gifts from life To remind you of what has happened. Instead of dreading the passage of time, Learn to read the code of your skin.
