about

Something I wrote over a number of weekends spent by myself in these challenging circumstances.

I don't know how long it's going to take me to finish what I've started over a year ago, so I wanted to share something in the interim. This is a bridge to what is coming next - a track zero, if you will.

Look after one another, and be safe.

lyrics

A figure watching in the dark
Caught my eyes in the witching hour
The fulcrum of this rotten start
Won’t survive when we’re all reflecting
On our paths

From here
The road is not as clear
As I had hoped
If I don’t find my way to you
Before this ends
We’ll never laugh
We’ll never have our first fight
We’ll never turn the tide on what is going to come

My patience works abnormal hours
I looked within and accepted what is broken
To speak the truth would break my heart
You’re with me now
The ghost to pull my sanity apart

And this
Is what is left
Is no real future
And I can’t stand to watch them make
The same mistakes
These rituals
Were not for human eyes
But I’ll be standing over here watching the climb

There’s no way out from here
From this episode
There’s no way out from here
From this episode
