Scott Andrew - lo-fi acoustic pop superhero!

I would rather be ashes than dust!
I would rather that my spark should
burn out in a brilliant blaze
than it should be stifled by dry-rot.
I would rather be a superb meteor,
every atom of me in magnificent glow, than
a sleepy and permanent planet.
The function of man is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time.
