i left your ashes in the waterfall,  in the smoky mountains, and it will always be a moment where i was completely lost and found all at once. 

this song is for you, jason.

Catalyst  *DEMO

as women, we're constantly bombarded with images of who we need to be to be deemed "attractive" and thus, "worthy".   Whether we're "strong" or not, it inflitrates one's consciousness. It most certainly has done for me. its kind of shocking...as i'm going through a program to be a therapist, it's made me hyperaware of the constancy of the negative thoughts in my mind that are way too critical (and likely also contribute to me not ever wanting to play live and get myself out there in front of an audience).   

i remember the first time someone told me they loved me, and it was very hard to understand or imagine that someone could love me. i'm sure we all have thoughts like this..
this song is for all of us, who have felt so unlovable.   

i hope it inspires someone to open up.  to be loved.  to remember you deserve that.  even, when you've been conditioned to not.

lyrics:
there are few places i go that don't remind me of you
im like a burglar on the prowl, trying to get a piece of you
there are few places i go, that don't remind me of you 
im like a child in a candy story trying to get a piece of you

there's a price you pay to be an adult
its a bit like a tollway to accepting your faults

some days we are wiser
other days, foolhardy too

there are few places i go that don't remind me of you
i'm like a burglar on the prowl, trying to get a piece of you
there are few places i go that don't remind me of you
i'm like a child in a candy store, trying to get a piece of you

Foolhardy

Liner Notes
Well, consider this our protest song. The song has a sneaky sort of vibe to it, and it felt appropriate, given what's happening in our government here. Should be angrier, with more backing screams on the chorus, but this is what we had time for - given that its february album writing month. 

And damn, we're salty.

Lyrics
Oh, we're salty,
They've got us right under their nails.

And we're salty,
Their billionaire breath on our sails.

Yes, we're salty,
Just battered, democracy undone.

And we're salty,
There's no way that this is our home.

He's chewed you up and spit you out,
Like all those billionaires fit for crowns.
Chewed you up and spit you out,
Like all those billionaires fit for crowns.
Chewed you up and spit you out,
Like all those billionaires—
Fit for crowns,
We're split like clowns.
Fit for crowns,
We're split like clowns.

Yes, we're salty,
Your imposter's not fooling us too.
And we're salty,
A strongman, a fraud, and a feud.

Oh, we're salty,
We're writhing, resisting, and burning with pleas.
Damn, we're salty,
Fighting his fists and autocracy.

Lights out, better get your tongues wagging.

He's chewed you up and spit you out,
Like all those billionaires fit for crowns.
Chewed you up and spit you out,
Like all those billionaires fit for crowns.
Chewed you up and spit you out,
Like all those billionaires—
Fit for crowns,
We're split like clowns.
Fit for crowns,
We're split like clowns.
