about

The darkness of depression.

The seemingly endless tunnel of one who longs for more but can't seem to claw his way out of the mundane.

The chains of the Social Contract. The blinders he freely wears - almost with pride.

He knows there's more to life than this. But he seems powerless to achieve greatness.

This is the self inflicted hell of mediocracy.

The last in a series of tracks recorded to help troubleshoot Candle's new "Live" setup.
