The title says it all

lyrics

You've been faking all your nightmares all so well
I can see the blood in your teeth when you smile
and I've been talking like a killer
but walking like a priest when you come around.
So take my hand and walk with me
for just a little while.
For our soft hands and callous tongues
are weapons and beautiful songs.
So when the liars revolt
we'll all be free.

I love you as a girl I see in windows
when I'm walking down the street
and I think, "What am I so afraid of?
And who am I really kidding but me?"
So I put my hands inside my pockets
and keep counting all the miles
that I walk away from you.
Wondering if you saw me too.
So when the liars revolt
you'll be standing next to me singing

I will never meet you
but I'm sure glad I've seen you.

His Music has been described and "a little cool and a little weird – in a good way" and "very story-telling".
Sometimes mellow and bittersweet; a songbird at your window sill and at other times a thunderous full-throated roar of emotive stomping and hollering like a wild preacher of the end-times!
