    This is the first of three albums that I did with Elijah Mosely at threshingfloor audio. We did this whole album on a Yamaha digital 12-track in an old warehouse he rented. The material on this album is probably some of my best. It is a testament to doing the best you can with what you have!

about

This song is about trying to live as an adult when you were sexually abused as a child. There are areas that can never fully heal unless a miracle happens. This song is a prayer for that miracle.

lyrics

You're a lonely road california
and you live alone with your garden
there's a pickup truck and a solitaire diamond
given back to you by your wife in rhode island

who will lift the infinite
cos i'm rolling with the punches
cavemen dwell in rocks and hills
and I'm locked inside the basement

you're a rolling stone indiana
and you live alone won't let nobody near you
instant messenger a casusal encounter
with a picture profile that looks nothing like her

who will lift the infinite
cos i'm rolling with the punches
cavemen dwell in rocks and hills
and I'm locked inside the basement

i will lay you down in the fire
i will forge you again i will remake you
i will return the light back into your eyes
and all that was dead becomes alive again
those that did this to you will wish they'd never been born
i will give you a love
i will remain true
you'll forget those days so black and tired

who will cure the boys and girls
who got forced into the darkness
little children run into His arms
cos there's nothing in this world that can save you
