    A straight up, no frills, bare bones folk song to a passion that has come and gone, and may someday return. Probably the first (and only?) piece that ever went from concept to composition inside a day.

    Story Behind the Song
    One muse, one day, three takes. This one was a really bizarre piece of inspiration. the entire lyrical composition struck within an hour, was written within three or four, and the chord progression (for the most part) was done within the same day. The only aspect of the song that didn't come flying in during the initial idea-rush was the vocal harmony, which will undoubtedly change before going to final cut. As for the meaning behind the lyrics? Heck, if it isn't self-explanatory, then I'm not doing my job...

    Lyrics
    well it seems just enough now to drive me insane
    when i'm behind in the score but i don't know the game
    and i'm scrambling for answers to questions risen
    and the fewer i can the more days in this prison

    where i pound at the walls but they're just made of sand
    and leave me with nothing but grains in my hands
    so i'll cast off this ragged disguise of a savior
    and succumb to the numbness of depressive behavior

    and i
    tell my prayers to the trees
    that couldn't care less for me

    for i know that the words that we spoke were convictions
    but no timeframe was set to expect our predictions
    and again we fear sitting across the same table
    or define who we are when we can't find the labels

    and my chest pounds a rhythm that threatens to kill me
    and the thought of your touch never ceases to thrill me
    but the day may not come when we reclaim our passions
    the dreams made of vapors and desires made of ashes

    but i
    reach to heavens above
    and am damned by this love

    so you'll walk the wide earth with a smile on your face
    and i'll try to get by and i'll try to keep pace
    with a lifetime of wishes that pile up in the corners
    when i strive be free and i can't stand the orders

    is it wrong to keep hope in the back of my mind
    that no matter the distance i think i may find
    a day comes when you and i cross paths again
    where we smile and embrace as the dearest of friends

    and you tell me of all of the wonders you've seen
    and i tell you about how i've lived out my dreams
    as the first rays of autumn sun highlight our hair
    then we both tilt our heads and we become aware

    that the places we travel and things that we see
    just remind me of you and recall you to me
    that though older and wiser we still feel the flame
    and that 'something' between us can now have a name

    when i
    will sing to the sea
    as you keep harmony
