about

I wrote this song on a sticky summer night as an ode of sorts to the liminal space inside us all where our emotions meet the world.

I've always been obsessed with the ocean, both in its literal form and as a metaphor for the weight of feeling inside all of us. In this way, The Mirrored Glass is a reflection of the recognition that we cannot control the way we love, and the way we grieve for the loss of it.

lyrics

Lyrics:

Verse 1

Do you remember when we
pulled up our roots and left this town
Hiding behind the glass, I,
I'm running, you can't be found

And all of the dreams we shared, they
crumble like sea glass in your hands
Under the waning moon, soaking the crimson sand

Chorus

Oceans, rise, and fall with the tide
Lonely Light, in the black of the night
Only time, heals the demons inside

Verse 2
Do you remember when we
Stood at the edge, so far to fall
The winnowing wind it touched me,
Your longing a Siren's call

And just for a moment, I saw
The devil inside your angel eyes
When everything faded in the
Whisper of your goodbyes

Chorus

Oceans, rise, and fall with the tide
Lonely Light, in the black of the night
Only time, heals the demons inside

Instrumental
