about

Promo single from the EP Scorched Earth Amusement Park, out 6/23/23.

lyrics

(2, 3, 4!)
Be careful where you aim that glare—

you’ll lose sight of the optics.
The tables turned as those you spurned
saw through your words so caustic.

Accustomed to avoiding bait, I tried to rationalize
reciprocating equal hate
 would leave the world one-eyed,

and the peace beyond the precipice
of trespasses forgiven
tastes better than a stale revenge
that may end unacquitted.

Be mindful while you find that line

between joke and deception—

the only thing that sets the two apart is their reception.

The truce beyond the tribulation wasn’t made in stride.
If you can’t agree with meeting me halfway, just step aside,
or else so bereft of clemency,
a mondegreen of “vacancy”
is all we’ll have to carry us,
waves without a shore.

To presuppose I’d follow suit, you must’ve thought me meaner.

I don’t expect I’ll see you there, but I’m bound for pastures greener.
(Woohoo!)

The gift within the separation I can’t overstate.
Both I and—if you let yourself—you can wipe clean this slate,

but my sole responsibility
is regaining some stability,

to give and take, live and let be,
the turbulence ignored,

where all I need to carry me
 is dignity restored.
Reflect, express, and decompress.

I’ll mend and venture forward.

Will you?
