“this is the sound of hope after the exploitation of humanity has stopped” -BEACH SLOTH REVIEW

“a maestro of compelling introspective thought and witty themes” -WARLOCK ASYLUM REVIEW
“…songs that are so fun, wonderfully raggedy, satirical, and occasionally silly that you can’t help but side with these stoner anthems and his gentle rabble-rousing and middle-finger attitudes towards the powers that be.” -DAVE FRANKLIN, DANCING ABOUT ARCHITECTURE REVIEW
“Visualize Industrial Collapse is the work of an outsider artist with a chip on his shoulder, a guitar in his hand, and the truth on his mind.” -INDIE BAND GURU

lyrics
YOU SAID
You said, you said, take me as I am
You said, you said, come here and take hold of my hand
Please don't let go of my hand
Well I won't let go but I think you are crazy
But I love you, I so love you baby
And if I love you even though you are crazy
I must really really really love you (x2)
I must really really fucking love you
You said, you said, I'm not going anywhere
You said, you said, I will always be here
For you, I will always be here
We said, we said, forever and a day
We said, we said, nothing would get in our way
We let everything get in our way
It got in the way because you are crazy
But I love you, I so love you baby
And if I love you even though you are crazy
I must really really really love you (x2)
I must really really fucking love you
