Hammer (by Joseph Lease)

Snow, rain, sun, nails.
Your hometown called sleep.
Your house in the sun
Shall have black cloth walls.
You wear black day after day,
Mourning the house.
Broken, fateful, cold
Snow, rain, sun, nails.
What you fear came true
Years ago.
Families fill and empty.
The house you build,
The lead sun.
Snow falling straight down
On graphite-colored water,
Yellow slick leaves, concrete.
Gaze: one smile that
Hides nothing,
Promises nothing.
Families empty and fill.
Because.

Funny side note: unlike the rest of the record, this is actually just me by my lonesome playing everything, recorded in our basement home studio...the rest o' the record (except for the last song) was all done with the full band, with Tom Hamilton at his studio...

Yep...er, I promise one every 6 months, or every time it crosses my mind...whichever happens more frequently. Har! :-)
