    How I've waited, for this feeling to wash over me.
    Credits: Recorded and mixed by Dylan Champagne, who also played bass guitarr

    Story Behind the Song
    This is a song about the resilience of the spirit. I originally performed it with Lie-Lax, a Pittsburgh PA Punk/Folk band featuring the excellent musicians Megan Williams and Bradley Simon. Dylan Champagne ( of One Step Shift )digitally recorded this version in his Oakland, CA apartment. Dylan also plays electric bass on this recording. His annoying upstairs neighbors were pounding on the floor the whole time we recorded the vocals. We tactfully ignored them. Everybody loves music, but nobody likes musicians.

    Lyrics
    Cape Disappointment

    Bare chest stinging in the cold wind
    Bare feet burning in the frigid sand
    Ankles disappear in darkness
    I hear the glass drop from my cold-numb hand

    Salt foam punches at my waist-line
    I gaze at a horizon dark as mine
    The full moon pitches shards of diamonds
    That pierce me from my rib-cage to my spine

    Disappointment, how I've waited
    For this feeling, to wash over me

    Iridescent dead-star children
    Run before me like mascara tears
    I scramble madly towards the surface
    Pushing the bloated corpse of bludgeoned years

    Strength can be a curse
    When things are at their worst
    It will not subside, even in this freezing tide
    I will not die
