about

This song comes from a split with Andrew Weathers, entitled "This Voice Saying These Words", released 12/21/10. This is the first of the "Over My Obstructions" series, available on this website.

lyrics

You can carve your name in all the trees you see,
but the thing you seek is free.
It's so simple.

And you can cry a sacred name
in the loneliness of prayer and pain,
and waste your breath.
Its' so simple.

You can surround yourself
with sounds of dropping change, and hope that no one notices your shadow's dead.

You can lock your doors
and pretend that all the contraband in side is yours

but before you know what time it is
you'll find yourself just lying, justifying wars.
And it really is so simple.

You can call it a cliche,
but the novelty of all these things
that people do and say
is nothing compared to love.
