    Anyone else just watch Troy and the way he just sits there and shows how intently he’s listening? Look at his eyes. He’s like sitting there in silence and processing shit. Sometimes his eyes widen for…what almost seems like no reason. He’s very quiet, reserved, a mystery but some how still a cool dude.

    He was throwing a curse at someone! Like some mad, wicked sultan or smth... That's one crazy set of eyeballs he's got rollin' right there, but the real 'crazy' is behind the eyes... \m/ Just kidding, of course. His mind probably drifted away (home), 'cause this album was inspired by his wife being diagnosed with cancer. When she found out, her first thought was 'how much time do I have?', and that's why the main subject of this album is time.
