Description
"The Pyre" is the second single from the album "Kangaroo Christ", available August 12, 2014. Sampling the sound of sparks that gradually morph into a rhythm section, this song moves from electronic to rock to folk, with lyrics about deep personal change. It speaks to the fact that letting go of the past, while necessary to become a stable person, can cause relationships to be strained. This song features Alex Zito and Daniel Zott with guest instrumentation.
Lyrics
I said the wrong thing and I'm sorry I'm buried in ashes again I'm sorry you're made in His image Because you were the effigy I burned As we fall through time Like gravity I feel it pull Your hand from me I'm burning to trust myself again With blisters on my skin I stand Don't you trust me now? I'm never so sure as I put on This head that is full of certainty As I'm burning my past to ash, I put on The fire that's waiting for the pyre And I'm burning to trust myself again With blisters on my skin I stand Don't you trust me now?
