about

this is the opener for a still to be finished musical debate between myself and matt reed on the ills of our culture.

lyrics

right above the hollow, where the farmer's daughter goes to be alone
and read her books on better times and brighter days

she gets these thoughts that seem inspired. on the one hand, well, they are. but on ther other
what inspired them is nothing short of folly or a dream.

she waits for the world to realize it isn't right.
she shouts in the forest but it doesn't make a sound.
she sits alone and casts an image of herself.

the sun grows warm and she gets tired, now a blanket on a rock provides
a cushion from reality just soft enough to rest.

the smell of horse hooves from the binding on her wisdom draws a cloud of scavengers
who don't deserve to, but feed upon her folly as she dreams.

she waits...
