about

For Maia Hisamotos 33 birthday I am putting out a demo of one of Maia's poems that I turned into a song. I don’t know how long I will keep it online, because it still needs some over dubs on it, but I thought it would be a nice way to mark the day of what would be her 33rd birthday. RIP angel.

lyrics

Come on and show me how to release
A pride that fans flames as you free-fall
When the going gets tough, burn badly enough
Wake purified if you wake at all

Come on and show me how to drift beneath
And bite the bullet before you draw
At the mercy of any emotion with teeth
On the wave of the crave you saw you saw


You saw this way of life is a drug
And the price you pay is the hole you dug
They tell you to shake off the tatters (and nothing else! Nothing else matters!)
But the whole world shatters with the
Weight of a shrug

We’ve come near and far, took the train, the car
Pounded stone with feet and fist
Travelers, dancers, trained- side glances
Looking for an edge that won’t exist

College age degenerates, chasing fears with cigarettes
Smoke gets in the lashes on your back
College age degenerates, chasing fears with cigarettes
Smoke gets in the lashes on your back
Smoke gets in the lashes on your back

You saw this way of life is a drug
And the price you pay is the hole you dug
They tell you to shake off the tatters (and nothing else! Nothing else matters!)
But the whole world shatters
with the
Weight of a shrug
