about

Decided to see what would happen if I sort of lingered on one chord longer than I normally would

lyrics

Whispers echo out to me
As I go drifting lost at sea
In this exile Far From my home,
The Past is anchored to the tide
An expanse bold, an expanse wide
And I'm alone, my mind of foam
It's where I roam

Voices of the past now spin
Their Villains thought they'd win
And I guess in a way they did
The farm was left a lone dust storm
Where once the mud, like clothes was worn
Sold now to the highest bid
Life now a grid

They cut their hair,
Smoke left the air
And all the people lived in row homes
Or suburbs
Or graves

The Beauty of humanity
Is something I hold close to me
But so many times is tested
The Horrors of mankinds’ acts
With the hand or with the axe
So much must be detested
I can’t feel rested.

But I have my friends, I have the road
And to them all so much is owed
Know that you all saved my life
And though you’re many miles from here
In my heart you all are near
We all will rise above the strife
Above the knife
