about

We all get to that exhausted intersection in our lives where we have to make the decision to "re-up." This song is my way of doing that.....

lyrics

I am now pursuant to a dream
I bust out of the suburbs with a scream
Gladly lost my innocence, the clapboards of that picket fence thrown on the fire

Cause life is lived to lay it on the line
Anything short of that's just dyin'
I'll go real fast 'round hairpin turns, crash and burn and never learn, I want it all
So just gimme the ball

I am now resplendent with a vision
Independent of any indecision
I chose my lane it's rock-n-roll, the off ramp to my nourished soul is in that choice

I am now beholden to a cause
No longer in a state of pregnant pause
I'll break my neck just to be heard, every word a holy purge, a second sunrise
A fresh pair of eyes

I'm not here to speculate or coerce the hands of fate, well it's too late
Like Sysyphus up that hill I'll push that rock until i just can't feel the weight
There may come a time I might find myself wanting to give up
In this I will redeem
In this I will redeem.....

That I am now pursuant to a dream
Truant to a course reality
I'll break my neck just to be heard, every word a holy purge, a second sunrise
A fresh pair of eyes
