about

This track was created with input from close friend James Dibelka. What started out as a suggested chord progression, evolved into a bittersweet letter to the harsh realities of modern living.

lyrics

She said she’d dream about it
She said there’s no point to pretend
Just screaming ‘bout it
She cried, “Oh watch the pointed end!”

Oh don’t put it in your head
It’s so certain to offend
Listen to the passers by
Watch the signals change to red

It’s the color of an understated theme
The railroad built to carry your pipe dreams
The color of another brother’s team
The blood mixed in with your coffee cream

My darkness will not pass away!

Far be it from me to bring it up
Don’t you think it ought to end?
Burning candles down to quicks
No more sermons to attend

I thought I aired it on the line
Things I felt when I was nine -
Teenagers never think
Don’t wake up until they blink

The color of an understated theme
The railroad built to carry your pipe dreams
The color of another brother’s team
The blood mixed in with your coffee cream

Let the lady have her way!

Too damn scared to re-enter
Interstellar dissenter
I knew it wouldn’t last
Their calm loving’s in the past

Oh trauma travels fast
Or it ties you to the tracks
Scrawled writing on the rocks
Said, “Watch the pointed end!”

Here nor there, but gone today!
