SECOND STORY

We wrote this track months prior to the fatal warehouse fire in Oakland, which housed the Ghost Ship Artists Collective.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to all who perished in this horrible disaster and we send our heartfelt love & condolences to all surviving family members and friends who lost love ones in this warehouse.  

PS - Derick Ion Almena (one of the Artists Collective operators) is a complete narcissist.
