about

"Facing the inevitable isn't comfortable- I'm stating the obvious, written down here as calm words. Accurately describing the maelstrom of emotions that comes with being powerless; helpless in the face of certain defeat; oscillating between savage rage & denial...and the certainty profound defeat in the face of overwhelming odds. Directionless anger; profound and unwelcome perspective- applied sharply.

That's before the fact.

Afterwards, there are mountains to climb- and lift and move, if the psyche is to survive. Here is that process, condensed into words and angular frequencies.

I've written heavier songs in years past...but songs of anger, written in youth seem now to be wide-angled. Righteous anger, emoted well, can be distilled down to a white-hot, actinic point, then understood, processed and emoted...and transformed into music".

lyrics

So here we sit
Back to back
Hold tight to perseverance
Grip the cliff-face tight

I'm carrying the weight
Lifting mountains with bare hands

There's a delicacy here
Holding tight to small things
Feeling the way in the high winds

I'm carrying the weight
Lifting mountains with bare hands
Lifting mountains with bare hands
Lifting mountains...

There are secret muscles
That no one knows about
Keep us safe
When the call comes
I'm carrying the weight

Lifting mountains with bare hands
Lifting mountains with bare hands
Lifting mountains...

Driven not by choice
Drive by survival
Crystalline and pure
Wind in the pine trees
