about

album statement:

"They thought it but only smoke,
little did they know we actually were the flame"

Find old recordings and rearrange them for late nights
into something new to play to
hope that in the future we can save the pieces important
and live long enough to see what good is left to pass through

Hope, your diligence long due
with rent forfeited and house foreclosed
You become something harder
as each day passes to hold onto

Patience keep flowing
Because when you stop I will drown
keep rearranging pieces
before the things I love burn to the ground

Past, you might well ruin me
Or generation before, a screaming thief
Myself but a shadow reeling
Body longing for some hole to be lain in, silent relief

Friends all moved out across states and continents
Their landlords, some of the foulest and wretched lot
keep sending those songs to each other
Giving each other things that's meaning can’t be bought

Everyday you see ideas strewn across dirty screens
insisting things are simple and concise
To which you turn to look at the photo of your loved one, now deceased
And struggle each day knowing just how heavy things be

Take old recordings and rearrange them in the dead of night
into something new to play to
hope that in the future we can save the pieces important
and live long enough through tears to see what good is left to pass through…

about

a world wondered full Thailand

"All I have is a voice
To undo the folded lie,
The romantic lie in the brain
Of the sensual man-in-the-street
And the lie of Authority
Whose buildings grope the sky:
There is no such thing as the State
And no one exists alone;
Hunger allows no choice
To the citizen or the police;
We must love one another or die."

W.H. Auden
