raze of all the lyrics i could have quoted on blather, i'm not sure why i chose "sabotage" all those years ago. maybe i was drawn to the anger. i was a boiling pot no one cared enough to watch, so i spat the thin broth of my soul in their faces and hoped to leave a mark that wouldn't fade overnight.

in high_school, i played "fear is a man's best friend" for an audience of baffled students, kicking the mic stand out of the way mid-performance so i could scream into the open air until my chest ached. i wanted to be that man from wales who shared my first name and thought nothing of burning a song to the ground to prove a point.

today i would leave these words here instead:

"we're living in a wasteland
the soil is cold and damp
volcanoes in the distance
riverbeds run dry

you comfort me
comfort me
hold me in the dark"
