about

What does it sound like to be rendered speechless?

Maybe something shocking happened. Maybe you heard some disconcerting news or witnessed an act of seeming injustice. Maybe you got your heart broken. We can’t always rationalize our reactions or grasp them with logic or reason.

If we’re patient and let the grace of time offer some context, then we may become expanded beings through this experience.

This is the sound of transformation.
These are the cycles of life.

lyrics

2 - This Is The Sound

this is the sound of my breaking
this is the sound of the absence of my voice
let my body speak with silence
i’m out of sentiments and useless noise

this is the sound of disorientation
when you find yourself just feeling lost
we all crave reconciliation
but it is sometimes what we fear the most

yeah yeah yeah

this is the sound of surrender
like trumpets after final battle call
wait for the fog to clear before you stumble
over your own corpse and loose it all

yeah yeah yeah

this is the sound of new beginnings
coming on the heels of death
but sometimes it’s hard to believe in spring
when there are no leaves left

this is the sound of my clock ticking
of minutes turning into years
and context will soften the illusions
and grace will wipe away the tears
this is the sound (2x)
