about

I first wrote Break back in 2007. It sat for a year or so without vocals (I wasn't singing at the time). It was the second song I finished for The Solomon Project.

lyrics

You know that he's got me
My brain is all messed up
And all of my dreams are
Falling out at my feet

I said I wished
You could save me
But I'm so incapacitated
He went and told me
You're all a lie
Can you even hear me?

Set me free...

I chase my tail
Go after the easy meat
He tells me there's
Nothing more to you
Than there is to me

Set me free...
Father won't you
Come and save me?

They all hold me close
Talk to me, tell me
Listen not, they say
Wickedness is in the air
And this one to whom you pray
Was never really there

Set me free...
Father won't you
Come and save me?

You know that he's got me
My brain is all messed up
And all of my dreams are
Falling out at my feet

I polish each track until, sonically, it feels like it sparkles. ... more
