about

This songs lyrics are inspired by many, Agnes Martin, Ralph Mayer, Bob Ross, St. Owen the Jesuit, and of course the old pep talks my granddad would give me. the chord progression is almost identical to its predecessor on the album, "Penny Mittens" but leaves more room to breathe and think with its roomy structure. This is done to show that im using the same shames and means as another, but the order and delivery and narration can create a new piece.

lyrics

Back to the world
facing a substrate
painting a black hole
one stroke at a time
ears to the sounds
of guitar heads
and speakers
beat out the devil
one brush at a time

Like climbing a mountain
or eating entire elephants
everything big
is done a piece at a time

if daunted by mountains
think of a mole that has made it
small and blind
with a whole lot of time

if survival demands it
eat that entire elephant
close your eyes
it tastes divine
