lyrics

Close the gates
behind me
and shelter the lonely
bolt the door
and swallow the key
only if i dream

(cmon lets go!)

Florescent tomb stones
wrapped around your face
to hold your name
to the blade

We sank every ship
on the shore line
trying to remember
keeping tack of what has been
but we have lost the record
so many years ago

“every heaven turns a key just so you can walk into another door, and it seems you've left every key in your pocket, just so you can know where you have and have not been. You’ve accumulated a couple thousand pounds by now and can no longer move, you see an empty door behind you and try to run inside but can go any where, though your desire to do so remains. Eating away at tomorrow and eating your soul from the inside out. I'm running to you now with a torch in my hand. I need your help to burn this place to the ground. Ignite it into a beacon that will recreate the dazzling morning sunshine.”

Sunshine flows
you went to bed all alone
Sunshine Flows
you bread the lamb broken of bones
Sunshine flows
we must close the gates on our own

Pain untold
let it go
walk my ghost
to the sun again

about

Evening Ways Morgantown, West Virginia

Evening Ways is a continuation of the spirt that once drove AMR. This project is a totality of my efforts to combat a purgatory that exists within the gaps of our memory through music poetry and art. So join me, and lets us dance once more.
