This is both a melodic and haunting art song as well as a journey into free jazz as it paints a landscape about drug overdoses, loss of life, opportunity and the finality of one soul attached to that ball and chain.

lyrics

YOU RUN YOU HIDE YOU CRY
BUT YOU DON’T LOOK
YOU NEVER EVER LOOK INSIDE
TO SEE THE WORLD YOU TRY TO HIDE,
YOU CANNOT HIDE, CAN’T HIDE FROM ME
POOR BOY NO LOVE
THEY TOOK FROM YOU BUT NEVER GAVE YOU ANYTHING
AND NOW YOU’RE FREE TO HIDE ETERNALLY

REASON TO REASON
CORDON OF THE TIME
SORROW AND TREASON
YOU WILL NEVER LIVE TO SEE THE LIE

KALEIDOSCOPE ELOPE
YOU MARRY WHAT YOU FEAR
AND THEN YOU HEAR THE DOPE
IT RINGS AND SINGS
UPON THE DEATH OF WHAT YOU CALLED REALITY
YOU TRY TO BREATHE
INSIDE YOUR FANTASY
BUT YOU CAN’T POSSIBLY RETREAT THE REAL
TO LAUGH, TO CRY, TO FEEL

REASON TO REASON
CORDON OF THE TIME
SORROW AND TREASON
YOU WILL NEVER LIVE TO SEE THE LIE

(INTERLUDE)

REASON TO REASON
CORDON OF THE TIME
SORROW AND TREASON
YOU WILL NEVER LIVE TO SEE THE LIE
YOU WILL NEVER LIVE TO SEE THE LIE
