I Just Want To Leave This World

I Want To Write Songs That Are So Sad, The Kind Of Sad Where You Take Someone's Little Finger And Break It In Three Places.

I Was Reading The Bible A Lot Through My 20s, Mostly The Old Testament, Just Because I Was Knocked Out By The Language And The Stories. I Felt That The God Being Talked About There, Who Was This Insane, Vindictive Patriarch - It Was Kind Of Thrilling, And Titillated Something In Me At The Time.

Do I Personally Believe In A Personal God? No.

I'm A Kind Of Hard-wired Pessimist. I Can't Help But See The World In A Certain Kind Of Way.

I Don't Really Do Japanese Interviews. I Don't Think There's Much Call For Me In Japan.
