about

Written to honour the collective grief of all the love and life lost to the ongoing opioid crisis.

lyrics

If life is like a river, then we are crushed against the stones
It rages, overflowing
And I am crashing, grasping for the shore

It's said that time heals everything
But we've proven this false
As the banks are crumbling
Screaming into the emptiness
Longing to hold the memory of your face,
Forever lost

In silent mourning the weeping willow bows
Dips her fingers into the pool
She's seeking to touch the coursing river's veins
Like me, she is longing to be known
Like me, she is longing to go home

Is it vanity that binds us,
Confined in this bottle we share?
Or does reverie demand an audience?
It's calling us to come back home.

To stay with you, I burn this tome
In which I wrote of a life we'll never know

about

Archaic Earth Mount Forest, Ontario

Born of dripping moss and delving roots, formed in the dark places beyond the veil and sung by the fire and fury of creation itself.
