    “I didn’t provide any accompanying words when ‘Weight’ was originally released. I felt it needless, but even more so it had already taken much to pull the words out of me that became this work. An exercise in faith through expression, I put trust in the voice that speaks through me and let it out into the world.
    A year later, I now know that this work was meant to provide me a respite of sorts from the strain of living as well as from my own doubt. What was offered by my then-future self has revealed its form and purpose to me and hopefully those who have found something in these pieces. One step of many steps on the journey of self concept and documentation.”

Lies 01:52
Carry all the weight again of my own thing Walkin through the day again with these chains on me Try to stretch it when I wake Feelin compressed Know it's all the things I say to myself Truth know lie, but lie is made just so easy Mirror never wanna say what I'd like to hear Try and try to clean it off, 'm just so tired Try to buy another one, price is so high
2.
Distance 03:24
I'm gonna close my eyes and float into the fog the pressure holds me up it's every thing I want there's a show put on and i don't wanna watch that's something I swore off I had to die two times i might not have a third I might be high but not in heaven I'll let you know give me a second sometimes a loss is not a lesson that much I know one day you might hang up the rope jump out of line hang up the phone to be honest I feel distance you say it's cool I feel different I dont wanna pay it attention I'm not gonna pay it attention my eyes hangin low cuz I been livin in third shift remind me just what I said the tape was missing it's ribbons, edit later cuz I'm not paid for that patience some living with nightmares I feel like I'm day sickenin, same difference left all my hope at that train station shopping for more on the three dollar shelf of the store on the way to the spot that I hang hope I find in the space between full and empty get some food in me maybe that'll be the difference nevermind I see now its not sustenance I'm missin maybe substance maybe substance maybe substance I try three times I'm not findin feels like these lives just rewindin feels like these lives just rewindin feels like these lives, feels like these lies to be honest I feel distance you say it's cool I feel different I dont wanna pay it attention I'm not gonna pay it attention
3.
Good Call 03:25
the world will try to see me stone but I keep mud in my mind and I keep sand in my bed so I feel close to the ocean the will of men will keep you down but chosen family is tough they made my people out of bone to stand under any assault I claim the spriit of my kin when I can't rely on my own hotel rooms and unanswered calls I just walk it off every time all the miles under my shoes some are beauty and some are blue I just walk it off in my mind there are answers that I don't need and that's good
4.
there's no way to be sure as the bed caves in, touches the floor it's not the same anymore I had to write this down I'd forget otherwise this dream I can't seem to see coming true maybe that makes this a nightmare too I've tried to change my mind the light burns through these shades imprinted on my eyes a picture that won't fade not for now anyway I had to lose my mind to find what's worth my time these noises I can't escape I create I want to live so far away I'll escape the ocean calls my name it's embrace the one thing that I crave it's embrace embrace of the waves
