Let it all get out
Set it all splayed there on the table
If we're to make this work,
none of our horses can stay in the stable
chomping at the bit
churning up dust with restless hooves
Empty your pockets
and unpack the boxes you've kept underfoot
And let it all get out
Open up your heart and throat and sacrum
If we're to see this through
we must see through our explanation
Squeezing till it hurts
Squandering our limited resources
and begging for the worst
to justify our wasted sacred forces
It's time for full disclosure
Time this cold war's over
Time to own our demons
Time to meet our reasons
Time to bare our teeth and let the plovers clean them
And let it all get out
Stand up and uncap that volcano
If we're to live at all
we must acknowledge the buried anger
pushing at our doors
a still unexploited energy source
So dig to the core
and do not be afraid of who you are, anymore.

Beautiful song, Michael, and beautifully sung and played. I love the rhythms and textures. Very nice use of looping. Love the harmonies later in the song and also your use of the Ebow. Wonderful!

I enjoyed seeing your paintings! Very nice set for a video.
