I pledge allegiance to the screen
the conduit of my innermost beliefs
seeking solidarity
to validate the things I've never seen
look at me, so contentious
I'm the poet of my time
writing my convenient
sermons to the choir
is it all for the greater good?
or do we just toe the party line?
fighting the so-called good fight
just so I can get what's mine?
I pledge allegiance to the stage
the means of all my self-appointed guts
bleeding out my policies
fully knowing I’ll survive the cut
look at me, so controversial
I’m the martyr of my time
preaching my convenient
Sermons to the choir
is it all for the greater good?
or do we just toe the party line?
fighting the so-called good fight
just so I can get what's mine?
and just who are we helping?
and what are we fighting for?
fighting the so-called good fight
and maybe you can get what's yours
but only if I get what's mine
I'm living in an echo chamber and I can't get out

Micah is one of my favorite songwriters around, and also an all around gentleman and scholar. Both his solo work and his work with Two Cow Garage seem to work their way into my regular music rotation with ease. doug shaw
It’s no secret, I’m a huge fan of Todd Farrell, his lyrics, his guitar playing and him as a person. These stripped down versions of songs I already loved are all just giving me those crazy good goosebumps that come when listening to something you can feel in your heart and soul. Thank you Todd. You rule, my dude 🙌🏽 ffej scroggs

An album that gets better with every listen. It was already in my top 10 of the year, but it just keeps pushing higher. Lydia Loveless is so damn underrated. William Boyle
