about
First single off the upcoming LP In The Language Of Dreams. This is pretty much about wrestling with the idea of free will, and the habitual claiming of your actions as yours, both good and bad. While you are responsible for your actions, they are ultimately the result of an infinite field of causes and conditions that, in a sense, had nothing to do with the fluctuating process we're calling "you". You have a responsibility to answer for your transgressions, but in a way, they are not your fault.
lyrics
It's not the only way
It's just the only way I know
I didn't till this ground
I reap but did not sow
That's just the way it is, it's just the way
It's just the way it goes
I was wild,
I laid my father low
He did his best by me,
how was he to know?
Sometimes that's just the way it is, it's just the way
It's just the way it goes
If I don't give my claim away
I won't last another day
Who marks the living book
acts out the pages writ before
In the mirror, look, you say
there I am and believe it to your core
That's just the way it is, it's just the way
It's just the way it goes
You have your father's eyes
You drink your mother's gin
You tell your best friend's lies
but you carry every sin
That's just the way it is, it's just the way
It's just the way it goes
If you don't give your claim away
you won't last another day
from the twilight of your life
changes come in their good time
That's just the way it is, it's just the way
It's just the way it goes
