about

This is all about communication (or lack thereof) and the growing frustration that comes from having to read between the lines. It is the most raw and revealing song on the album and (ironically) proved to be the most challenging to get over the finish line. The song went through several iterations and the final version has elements from four separate sessions. Eventually I stumbled on a combination of elements that truly supported the immediacy underpinning the songs sentiment.

lyrics

It's on loop inside my brain
Every possibility
Now I'm seeing a psychologist
But I still get no relief

Out here
Freezing
Calling out to the seasons

Look me in the eye
Give it to me straight

Something keeps me hanging on
To this shadow of a man
Thought I knew what it meant to be strong
Thought I held it in my hands

Out here
Freezing
Calling out to the seasons

Look me in the eye
Give it to me straight

I need to know the truth
Even if It kills me
There's a look on your face
An idiot could read

Look me in the eye
Give it to me straight
