about

For my parents. Happy Holidays (:

Threw this song together in less than a week because I had a limited window to stop practicing guitar and finally finish another track, so I hope the mix translates well to other sound systems and ears.

lyrics

"In the ices of my heart,
I melt to say
That I am not a 'self-made' man;
Rome built in a day.

If I could retrace my steps
And see my ghost,
I'd find that he were many;
A gallery of other folks.

Each one of them would turn,
Facing this funhouse core.
Illuminated by celestial beams,
Mother and Father adorned.

Everything I touch
Extends the hand of Creation
Bestowed upon me by them,
Higher branches' proliferation.

Everything I see
Is blurred by gratitude wept
Whenever I recall the reason
I ever had a chance to live.

So now I thank you both
For letting me be me,
Isolated in perfect union;
Everything I'll ever dream."
