Change the Context

But that would change the context; 

And you wouldn't want that would you?

What if i feigned the pretext? 

And indexed it all black and blue

Your pipe dream has rusted...

How long will congregations of your past serve as a roadblock to quarantine your utopian dreams? In the midst of all the falling pieces of your sky, what keeps you from etching a new sun and envisioning a new horizon? The best laid plans, layered with familiarity and propped up with what is known today will surely falter and crash into the unknown of what tomorrow brings. Your complacency becomes your inadequacy becomes your failure. Failure to endure and enthrall anew. Failure to challenge and to astonish. It’s uncanny what unchartered spaces of your mind you have kept yourself from in adherence to the limit of your current faculty.

Sideways, not up and up and up. Those who rose from mezzanines of an ordinary skyscraper shiver with the gravity when pulled asunder. They will never get put back together, and even if so, the aesthetics would never be the same. The warranty is void. You stack up floors upon floors of mediocrity. You pile up levels upon levels of the constant buzzing of the most unsightly most ungainly of melodeons.  Your pipe dream has rusted and your tunnel vision has no light. You were never meant to scale up. Sideways. So sideways – new fields, new spaces, new sounds and new faces. In that lies your only provision to pass your weight to the ground and by buoyed back up. The proverbial spring in your step requires cohesion not adhesion. What's risen will be razed by the attrition of time. What's acquired will embrace you. Sideways. 

It's a bad day for Suicide Patrol...

This post is about the new Dye Corduroy single "Suicide Patrol" - if you're looking for actual suicide intervention, please contact your local police & request them to start a faction that would be ever vigilant and on patrol to equate the literal purpose of the song title. Otherwise, tune in...

The song tries to capture the moment between feeling invincible & inconsolably doomed. The shadowboxing central character in first person is on the precipice of oblivion where the misery of his might & his racing pulse collides. Spoiler alert: In the end, it's a bad day for Suicide Patrol.

From the upcoming record: Here Beside the Decoy
