about

this song needed to survive an almost complete reworking of its arrangement 24 hours before I had planned to post the record. Much suffering followed, and the performance still leaves something to be desired, but need to keep moving. This is a rewrite of a song originally recorded and released on Sleep Deprivation I: trustdarkness.com/sleep.php?album=sleep1

dedicated to the one of us who fights it alone, you know who you are.

lyrics

As I'm forced to validate myself once again
I haven't got much family left
I'm not sure if these people are my friends
depending on titles, accomplishments,
and artifacts left behind
trust you'll find me many nights alone
on the floor, crying

as I travel down this path I've come so many times
I feel the way grow heavy on my weary eyes
you know the darkness plagues every one of us
I'm just like one of us who fights it alone
but that's no way to live

you don't have to do it all on your own this time
you just have to go alone

I know this is not the end
though this night is long and dark as hell
my own past has seen longer and darker
and worse yet in the stories i've heard folks tell
the collective recall is it faith or none at all?
we're not alone, lest we convince ourselves

I try not to go looking for home
because there's nothing there, but some less traveled roads
some paths we walked in twos and threes
before we felt the pain, what its like to be free
I try to stop when I'm still on the road
to watch these beautiful sunsets
pray to the darkness we trust in
there's still room for trust, and you know me
and i'm still listening

and i said
