Dear Diary

Violin samples from the late Sixto Rodriguez. RIP... I remember hearing his song "Cause" and being nothing short of amazed. It also brushes on themes of work, existence, heartache... Definitely worth a listen, you can find his track here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jm9UadB7XvE

Corporate Hymnal

Walk with me out of hiding.

Gray and green visions, heavy with worn out feelings,
Such a long time living in alternate realities.
Broken mirrors, shot-through glass, sounds so fierce and piercing, 
Shake the foundations, the anchors are gone, all gone. 

Under radiant skies, dawning over and over, 
Aching, restless nights, sinking lower and lower. 

Let’s do what we want, do it afraid,
Break ourselves open trying. 
The older we get, finding our way,
Walk with me out of hiding. 

Your mind is a crystal prison—delicate, sharp, and revealing,
Such a long time betting on finding inner solitude.
All of the voices calling you out crack the walls and ceilings, 
Shadows collapsing, the boundaries are gone, all gone. 

Rainfall, blistering sun, moon phase waxing and waning, 
See how far you have come,
Finally, something is changing. 

Let’s do what we want, do it afraid,
Break ourselves open trying. 
The older we get, finding our way,
Walk with me out of hiding. 

Let’s do what we want, who cares what they say,
Break ourselves open trying, 
The older we get, becoming more brave, 
Walk with me out of hiding.
