Your Bravery Test (K2)

This is the last song in an EP (Wound) I've been constructing over the past year. I wrote the first draft of lyrics shortly after my 21st birthday, and I finally got around to recording, revising, and ultimately finishing the song during this past summer. I'm real proud of it, it's probably the most progressive piece of music that I've composed and performed myself.

Guitars, Bass, Cello, and Vocals performed by Joseph Flay

Lyrics:

We're revising our own histories,
With every visit to these memories.
Fabricating other, brighter pasts,
Contriving something that might last.

To ask of my actions,
Without knowing an answer.
To prove these inventions,
Without any question.

Only after something's absence,
Do we realize its essence.
What does it take to understand,
All the things that we've ever had?

To ask of my actions,
Without knowing an answer.
To prove these inventions,
Without any question.

Love what?
Love this?
Love what?
Not this.

To ask of my actions,
Without knowing an answer.
To prove these inventions,
Without any question.

Negotiating Futility
