I was fortunate enough to play a benefit for a great cause on May 15th: RAINN is the national network for rape, sexual abuse and incest victims and is a cause I firmly believe in. However, this show was extra special for two more reasons: Aside from being the last weekend of concerts at the NYC indie landmark, Crash Mansion, it also served as the unveiling of the title track to my next EP, ‘The Thawing‘ (mid-2012), a follow up and complement to, ‘The Dissonance‘. The title track below is about learning to feel again after a tragic incident and is dedicated to all rape and sexual abuse victims, please read lyrics below. Enjoy!
I will break the rules and then I’ll go and make my own.
Follow endless question marks do they lead back to home.
I felt a fall the world was small and not quite what it seemed.
Nobody knows nor have they chosen, are we really free?
I will follow tangents until their logical end.
Nothing is forbidden there is no such thing as sin.
A different world per pair of eyes with nothing that’s certain,
be led by change yet keep your name forget your restrictions.
I will shed the thinking that has let me come to this.
Recreate sensations one should never come to miss.
Untangle knots you tied yourself release them from your grasp,
refresh the strands genetic brand and face the thwarted flesh.
Free from the name.
Free from the game.
Free from the rain,
and the frozen,
Freed from the pain:
And the poison.
Refresh the page,
Resurrect your fate,
Break from the chains.
look at your face:
And accept the stains.
Freed from restraints,
freed from the gaze,
his dictatory ways,
we’re finally free,
to exist naturally,
however mess that could be:
Commence The Thawing!
