valley of string lights / i leave'm plugged in all night
valley of demons / telling me they're strong and that they're right
valley of glass like a prism / takin turns with shatter and shine
honey line'n my vision / at least that vision is mine
it's mine
I leave big boots on the mantle / to remind me how i step
and i shoot to dismantle / and i haven't missed yet
sometimes i see with my skin / 'cause i'm covering my eyes
and i came here to win / not to let tired dogs lie
are you lying?
so don't look at me directly / unless i say you can please
you and no one cane hold me correctly / i just slip out with the breeze
she asked me do i even deserve this / or are you preaching to a scar
are you sore with a purpose? / or is this just how you are now?
I guess this is just how you are now.

What you say and play resonates so heavy we can feel it in our bones. We relate and understand and appreciate what you have to say and the musical way you present what you have to say. Thank you for everything you have exposed the world to. Thank you for exposing the world to what you have lived through. We all need more than what you have given us. So many have lived real loss (including my wife and I) and you present and express it more than most. A big favorite for the wife and I for sure. Michael Benoit
