lyrics
STRING THEORY
Intro:
G#m, C#m, D#maj 2x
Vs.1
G#m,
Sometimes at night / Alone on a highway
C#m,
what's been and what's nigh
D#maj G#m
collapse to the middle from left and from right
C#m
squeezing like bookends for blood, (it's a vice:
D#maj G#m
a habit to harvest my pain)
Vs.2
G#m
septic and sweet, the tragedy i just can't
C#m
sweep off my feet:
D#maj G#m
what would i be if i weren't incomplete?
C#m
logic has left us for dead in the street
D#maj G#m
it's watching me break my own heart
Chorus:
C#m, D#maj, G#m
what if the past were not past?
C#m, D#maj, G#m
and the future was here all along?
(walk - up ) C#m, D#maj, G#m
every picture and song was not holding your place in a line but
C#m, D#maj, G#m
reminding you it was al - ways here
time is a one-way street
and we're all strapped in to the rear-facing seat
the street still existed with all of its secrets
before we could see it
and the places we pass
we just see through the glass
but we can't go back
someone's foots on the gas
but we're screaming directions and hoping for best
and we'll measure success by results that we get
but we're all strapped in.
what if the past were not past?
and the future was here all along?
every picture and song was not holding your place in a line but reminding you it was always here

This Is For Our Sins
by Lowercase Noisessupported by 10 fans who also own “String Theory”
There is something haunting about the family having zero clue about WW2 in its entirety. I remember learning about them and wondering and I still wonder now how many are still in the wilderness, driven there by atrocities or not. Many find being alone to be fear inducing. But they left and isolated out of fear to begin with. This music is just the tip of the iceberg for how haunting and emotional the situation is. It does its job as well as possible, though. Amazing.

This album is a sonic adventure into possibilities with instruments that are beyond what I originally thought them capable of. Pure delight and mood.
