    Story Behind the Song
    In 1998, after starting a successful multimedia company in Irvine, I was feeling extremely disconnected from my soul. I really felt like I was moving in the wrong direction. Within three weeks I gave over all of our clients to my co-workers, sold just about everything I owned, and purchased a one-way ticket to Mauai ("here today, gone to Maui.) It was the single most terrifying and most rewarding thing I've even done. I wrote this while sitting on a linai overlooking a lush valley that meandered it's way out to the Pacific. IT was recorded 2 years later at LionHeart Studios on the Big Island, a studio I co-founded with Leo Woods. SOOOO many thanks to Leo for all of his encouragement, and for introducing me to the poems of Hafiz.

    The guitar tuning is CGCGGC capo 4

    Lyrics
    consumed with all the noise
    of constructed life
    watching the candle burn at both ends
    leaving nothing behind
    i'm sure of one thing,
    it's been much too long since
    i've found release

    cuz,
    down here nothing makes much sense
    when the world changes
    with each passing breath
    when all i want is to find
    the light in you
    the light in you

    sight unseen
    this silver lining has got me
    wide-eyed and dreaming
    i'm shying away
    from these fairy-tale lies
    we've all been sold
    cuz it's not
    the green in the machine
    that keeps our motors running
    it's our hearts that
    call the shots
    that keep us moving
    keep us moving

    cuz,
    down here nothing makes much sense
    when the world changes
    with each passing breath
    when all i want is to find
    the light in you
    the light in you

    fall down
    before we harm ourselves
    fall down
    before we do harm
    fall down
    soft to the ground

    consumed with all the noise
    of constructed life
    watching the candle burn at both ends
    leaving nothing behind
    cuz it's not
    the green in the machine
    that keeps our motors running
    it's our hearts that
    call the shots
    that keep us moving
    keep us moving

    cuz,
    down here nothing makes much sense
    when the world changes
    with each passing breath
    (can't you see!!!?)
    when all i want is to find
    the light in you
    the light in you
