about

Track 2 of 4 from "The Sea EP", recorded during 2013 and released January 2014.

lyrics

dreams long smashed, buried in a fog of years
all too heartbreaking to think about what might have been
bodies wrecked, hands shake with a need
give away the hidden depths to which the once-bright can sink

to be caught
in the limestone walls
in the grey mist of skies
to be caught
where there's seldom light
for the left-behind

to know of more ways to trick and cheat
yet know of no strength to reach escape velocity
what a waste, thinking clouded
clear air thickened to soup, clear roads fault-lined and slipped

to be caught
in the limestone walls
in the grey mist of skies
to be caught
where there's seldom light
for the left-behind

landslide kinder, an instant release
instead of slow gather of sediments around the feet
for those of us who escape the madness
a new madness of those we leave behind


so much resignation and tiredness
feel it coming in to you
