about

I grew up in a family that made music and worshipped together. Then I lost my faith and this meant I also lost my family and our music. This song is about that.

Recorded in 2008 for the RPM Challenge and previously released on the album "The Legendary Adventures of Prosciutto Pig". If I'm being entirely honest about it, this is pretty much the only keeper track on that album.

lyrics

where roses grew
ashes too
the sun is gone
there's only the corona
your face belies
distant eyes
the light that dies
still dreams within a coma
on salted ground
tangled down
the weeds gasp for light
the dawn holds back
fade to black
who would believe that this is right?

what dreams may come
to sleeping shoots
will never take the place of roots
still the sun knows nothing of the ground

where roses grew
ashes too
the seeds untouched by sound

I don't mean to depress
I don't need to instruct
it's just our lives are running out and I'm not giving up
and maybe some day
somehow I gotta believe
the songs will sing for us all
and there'll be no more grief
and in that day your skin will shine like the sun

where roses grew
ashes too
the seeds untouched by sound
