about

This song was inspired by the play/film "Inherit the Wind." Originally conceived as a simple acoustic ditty in May 2005, this recording is one of the most complex in my catalogue.

lyrics

It’s not hot enough to stem these voices
Enough to brace the floorboards
Enough to ease the trembling
Of hands and feet
In fear of their returning
To the core ridden with flames
And with molten stones and arrows honed

A dusty road leads to each home’s door
Closed to any face warmed by
Thoughts removed from microscopic inquiry
A choice derived from choices before
Devoured by those both sure and unsure
Just looking to allign

I’m just looking for a little mind

You, my love, must be the serpent
While I remain the servant to
Those set to imprison you
Unless the words of your mistake
Ring loudly ‘cross this state
In heads and hearts, both, why can’t you?

I'm just looking for a little mind

It’s not hot enough to stem these voices
Enough to brace the floorboards
Enough to ease the trembling
