lyrics

By the light of the a lifting mist
and something isn’t quite right.
For the first time in so many years,
let the flood fall from my eyes.
So I take a tour of all
the more unlikeable parts of me.
And I sweep the floor for all
the dust dragged in underneath my feet.
So long, you dragons inside,
you are breathing fire for the last time.
And I’ll walk among all your ashes
until they have drifted farther
than any eye can see.
I feel the mud getting in my shoes,
and it’s slowing me down.
Falling ill from the noise of this world,
say the cure close to my ear.
I can see a way soaked in day,
I live for it, I live for it still.
And I sense Him,
veiled in everything I could expect to see;
a side of me wanted it to be
just a little bit louder and tender.
But really, I can’t complain as I am mended.

I started composing when I was 10. I called one of my first songs "Nostalgia", although I can't recall what my ten year old self was so nostalgic about. Released my first album in 2000. Things got busy, but I never stopped writing. Even if it meant composing on a mostly-broken piano in the basement of a university that I wasn't even enrolled in. Enjoy all the music and reading! Pax.
