Noises all around me
Voices surrounding
Calling for answers.
Choices all abounding
Voiceless the sound
Inside me
A cancer.
This war,
This war, it plays you.
This war plays you off like a chord.
Will I ever be free
From my own company?
If heaven feeds the fires of hell,
I’ll go it alone but with myself.
It all moves around you
It burns and it crowns you
It offers your body to the river.
Fearful are the hounds of all divine sound,
Fiending on the divas’ livers.
This war,
This war, it plays you.
This war plays you off like a chord.
No more!
Will I ever be free
From my own company?
If lovers cannot make us well,
We’ll go it alone in the embrace of self.
Quiet your mind.
Do not speak.
Answers will come in time.
Wonder can make us weak.
Sit with somebody new.
Ask what you can do.
Listen to what they know
And try to let it go.
Try to let it go.

runner-up favorite track - I Will Come Back. The album altogether is an escalating crescendo that lifts the mood and transports you to somewhere beautiful. swagmoneygfly
A nostalgic record full of ambling rhythms, vivid imagery, and cotton-soft melodies tapped out on an ever-present ’70s synth-organ hybrid. Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 11, 2021
