I think when I'm writing a song or a poem, I become vulnerable and linear. I show sides of myself that people would otherwise not see in me.

There was a girl who once told me that she fell in love with the guy who sang bonfire, and not me.

I was very rude to her the month we dated.

I realized then, that although I put myself out there when I'm making a song, it doesn't reflect my normal demeanor. So songwriting is essentially a way for me to vent.
