new song, called growing down.  

nobody ever told me how

loneliness could hide itself as fear

nobody could have warned me of 

the paralyzing weight of passing years

oh the gravity of all the time

when branch by branch inside me was being torn

you cut me down, and, withered out

i forgot what i was living for

and i’m growing down, i’m not going down

all my hopes are buried underground

i am letting them grow this time around

and feeling resurrection coming out

we are kings and queens of distant places

until you learn nobody knows your faces now

so staring at a velvet sky

i feel a sudden urge to turn around

when i feel the earth against my skin

i believe it’s not the end but the beginning

just when i think i’m dying 

is the moment you remind me why i’m living

and i’m doing what i can to fight 

but asking you to pacify my wars
