about

Well this was bound to happen..
Im not sure i would recommend this one.
But, it is by far my favorite.

In short..
this one is as much about me as it is about a behavior i have become more loathsome with...
It is the longing for a former clarity, a former freedom. An angst against the personal editing that becomes so common.. that robs one of the unbecoming natures, the youthful shenanigans, the natural ease, that truly give us identity.
Its ment to be abrasive. its ment to feel intense. Its ment to pump blood to the rhythm of your internal war drum.
Pick up the strands you've cut and brushed to the floor, hold them up to the light, and get a taste of freedom in true exposure.

lyrics

Are you longing to see water? Has your well, well run dry. Are you longing just to swallow, the pain you carry inside? Will your mind seek to deceive ya? like it has done before? Will it slip the sheen, the space in between, and show whats layin on the cutting room floor?
<Can ya hear the voices calling, as they wilt in disbelief? Are you carryin rocks, at the end of your wrist? Are they well worn in?>
Ya got a babe sweet as honey, who is poisoned with your line. Who has hardened well with heartache, and a blood as rich as wine. Have ya seen a scene more tragic, than a self inflicted fire? Will it slip the sheen, the space in between, and show what you've been leavin' behind?
Are you longin' to see water? Has your well, well ran dry? Are you longin just to swallow, the pain ya carry inside, will your mind seek to destroy ya? - Like it has done before, with it cut the sheen, will ya finally see, whats layin on the cutting room floor??
