about

I wasn't planning on releasing this until the end of the month but in the wake of the absolute madness on the capital by far right extremists I had to get this out there. Trying to deal with people that are unfazed by the splintering, anger and hatred came to a fever pitch and this is what this song is about. Almost all of us have had personal splits over the political climate. Maybe this song doesn't have any answers but I still just wanted to throw a little positive, relatable energy out there. I hope all my friends can keep that chin up and keep pushing for a better existence for EVERYBODY.

lyrics

Outrageous and absurd
Our course of action has taken a turn
We lost connection
Adrift so far
Too much compression
Failing as who we are
So tell them who you are...it is love
We've been splitting a crack is opening wide, from the inside
Slowly slipping yeah we have started to slide, into the divide
I miss seeing you being there all of my life, now we're on opposite sides
Darkness creeping in trying to steal the light, pride is blind
1234..There's too much fighting on the dance floor
The bailout The ladder The tapestries in tatters
And somehow it matters we wave the same flag
Some push the poison in love with the discourse
They're coming out to party in the U.S.A.
No waiving white flags
Give us do or die
Our slant complexion is staring us in the eyes
So remember when we're one we are strong
We've been splitting a crack is opening wide, from the inside
Slowly slipping yeah we have started to slide, into the divide
I miss seeing you being there all of my life, now we're on opposite sides
Darkness creeping in trying to steal the light, oh why?
