[ALL of the proceeds go to GiveWell, a charity... this is me begging you...
this is me begging you... to buy my album... and help my life...
mean more than an empty champagne bottle...
and a leap from a bridge...]


you could save a life.
not mine,
but a little money
can go a long
way.
it can't go
to the past
to undo all
the horrors
of time.
but still,
it can go
a long way.
...
i cried
for twenty minutes
[
or was it hours?
or was it days?
or was it years?*]
in the bathroom
outside
of the movie theater.
and yes,
i thought about it -
jumping from a bridge.
i still think about it.
but first
i wrote music,
and then
i wrote more.
and now...
"twelve years a slave" is the song i want to be heard... i may have taken a break from crying... but i haven't stopped...
