about

Write around a decade ago but recently unearthed, this track was about my life at the time, and my hopes. We stripped it down to it's essence-- we wanted an "in-the-room-feeling" for it.

lyrics

Inside my soul's an empty hole despite plenty around
I must escape with urgent haste or else I'll likely drown
I'm going mad when good is bad and I'm not worth a mention
And in this place they're killing me in spite their good intension

I'll pack my bag and find the ship that only needs one hand
I'll engage the engine and I'll sail across the land
For where I go I do not know and it fills me with glee
And if there's one thing I am sure this ain't the place for me

And so I'll sail stupendously and sound a rebel yell
The world is mine I'm feelin' fine I've saved myself from hell
And I'll go on and sing this song with music in my heart
The plan is set in motion now I need only start

I'll pack my bag and find the ship that only needs one hand
I'll engage the engine and I'll sail across the land
For where I go I do not know and it fills me with glee
And if there's one thing I am sure this ain't the place for me

I'll pack my bag and find the ship that only needs one hand
I'll engage the engine and I'll sail across the land
For where I go I do not know and it fills me with glee
And after all that's happened well I'll finally be free
