Final Title: Groundless/Flightless We hang up in the air over everything down here I won’t settle I won’t stretch I won’t argue with the city on my side and the rest of it in time it’s enough just to keep my mind above the surface cast a room above your head filled with people from […]

More video.  I made a few more of these since the last post, but inevitably they will stay in the dark closet of a hard drive.  Here’s the second video-documented song on my YouTube channel. The saddest days come around the corner from a dream you thought came true and as the rain falls you’re […]
