about

(Humanity has destroyed much of the natural ecosystems that support life on this planet. Clearly if humanity is to survive, we must change. At some point we must come to terms with the destruction and pain of the past and ask how we can innovate and pivot and adapt into the future. And in an ironic way that’s what I had to do with this song. While in Costa Rica my hard drive died and I lost 7-8 songs, this song being one of them, some of those songs are gone forever, but this song I knew needed to be on the album so I completely remade it, including re-recording the guest verses and it came out so much better! (which is the whole point of the title, “Empires Die...Life Evolves” in a spiritual sense))

lyrics

The pain that I’ve lived through
Is the love that I give you
I cry daily but don’t need no tissues
Because I don’t cry tears from my eyes
I cry tears from my heart
As my eyes see this world I Love fall apart
I put it back together
Through making this art
Because the old gods are dead
And the people are searching
For the new dream
And the bombs have been dropped
More times than I can count
Still I’m here right now
Like even if the world were to end tomorrow
I’d Still plant a seed today
Bring joy to the sorrow
And I walk this beach
And throw each
Starfish that I can reach
Back to the sea
And I walk these streets
And work with the kids
At risk that I meet
To complete the prophecy
Because sometimes mistakes need to be made
Sometimes resolution is an illusion
Sometimes there are no solutions
Except to accept the pollution
make your contribution
And call it evolution
