lyrics

Start right where you stand, no wrong place,
Heads or tails
Fork and knife in hand, piece by piece
Eat this whale.
Look not at the size on the bone,
But your plate.
Think not of the time spent but
How else would you spend your days?
Is there any better taste?

Wet weather rages, step out your basement and face it.
Are you still holding?
Don’t be afraid of the rain in your face, just embrace it.
Are you still holding?
Whatever it takes is the price that you pay for tenacious.
Are you still holding?
This moment’s your greatest, don’t waste it, run out and chase it.
Are you still holding on?

This will take so long, so it seems,
In the midst.
Think of what is done, half a whale.
Half still left.
Hear the voice of doubt, will this end?
One more bowl.
Spear your final ounce, now you know
The pond is full with modest goals, the impossible.

Wet weather rages, step out your basement and face it.
Are you still holding?
Don’t be afraid of the rain in your face, just embrace it.
Are you still holding?
Whatever it takes is the price that you pay for tenacious.
Are you still holding?
This moment’s your greatest, don’t waste it, run out and chase it.
Are you still holding on?

As a catharsis to the agony of the long drawn out project, he decides to record some music that captures the raw emotions of the experience. The result is a high octane micro brewed album, fermented with generous amounts of Pink Floyd, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Santana, and Eminem. ... more
