i just found a free album online. it's called "strong tower" by tim mcallister and you can download it HERE. here are the lyrics to the title song:


this time, this place, this shirt, this face, this bomb, this plane, this cloud, this rain.
this knife, this meal, this smile, this deal, this drink, this bar, this game, this car.
these are the agents that grow me slowly blind. sewing shut these recently-opened eyes.

this job, this pay, this work, this day, this year, this month, this pile of junk.
this fight, this sigh, this kiss, this lie, this world, this climb, this song, this time.
these are the agents growing me slowly blind. they're sewing shut these recently-opened eyes.

but i keep asking myself... asking myself:

"what shame is there to seek shelter in a strong tower?"


isn't that beautiful? i have found myself directly sympathizing with the tone of this song (minus the kiss part!). there is so much in this world that is designed to sew shut our eyes. it's overwhelming.

how are you?
