lyrics

Were the waves on the face of this building just to lie down, maybe then you could see the way across to me. Were the circles and blocks that we walk to decide to stand tall, would you just see the sprawl, or would you decide to draw? Carry me away. Love can never be replaced. I don't think we choose to be this way. It just happens on some ordinary day. What would happen? Imagine: no fashions, no factions took hold. Could you be satisfied without an ounce of pride? Why should hearing a lyric, when cleared of its context, cause us to ponder what's next? How can a melody born of necessity ever be personified?

Thank you Mom and Dad, Claudia, Joanie, and Ari. I can't do anything without you.

A most special thank you to Jon Sabo for his tireless and enthusiastic work bringing this track to life. Seriously, a freight train could crash through the studio and you'd still be ready roll another take. You rock, Jon! Special thanks to George Fillion and Art Party for helping me find my feet and develop this song. May Brunch never stop you! Also a big shout out to Clementine, Tourneforte, and Grimm Winter. You all inspired me to make this a reality! And a big round of applause for the Washington, DC music scene for being so righteous and inclusive, and the Department of Musical Violence Discord server for helping us all kick out the jams. Happy birthday Darren!

And to you, Darling, remember you can never be replaced.
