about

This is a song about writer's block, and funnily enough, one that opened that particular Gordian knot. It is a first take wonder from the first session with Mikael Ramsay, and is released as it is - unmastered, unpolished, unapologetic.

More to follow.

lyrics

"where the white begins, the darkness dies
recoils like truth does when it hears your lies
the have and have not's still haven't heard
that the essence of what was said hides behind the word

oh snowblind, why oh why
whiter than the whites
of my blinded eyes
and I don't mind looking for
to what these blinded eyes
open up the door

well, I've travelled far and I've travelled wide
I've come back home, even taken me a bride
covered all bases, covered a lot of ground
trying to fill something more than just a mound

to make something just out of thin air
create something that just (now) wasn't there
the terror of the white page, of what hasn't been said
will shut you up for good, lay your white ass in bed"
