/// A rotting pirate finds delirious freedom in decay ///
Drifting tenderly ashore
I was desperate for a lord
Tough enough to brutally
Break me, break me, on their knee
And deep in every grain of sand
I could feel a veiny hand
Tracing up and down my soles
To paint me, paint it black as mold
And as I stumbled I felt
Free
In a way
To re-decay
Coalesce
Into something less
Well at least
There's always peace
Father make a bed
Your son is coming home!
Sickness sitting on my skin
Bleeding from the outside in
Soak the tissue, watch it break
It was peeling, peeling flake by flake
And somewhere briny, thick with tar
Pumped a dry, infested heart
And all my blood was running rife
Teeming, teeming with new life
And when I crumble, set them
<chorus>
Reaching the beach
At the galleon's clarion call
I'm part of the cargo
Now haul me, store me
I will get out your hair
Dreadnought, Dreadnought, take me there!
Daily focus-training coupled with strong work ethics pointed toward making life more bearable for others, could turn around this age for the better. This album is beautiful. A force for good. CHOSEN

This album invites you to journey into thoughtfully cultivated auditory landscape. Rising over the lush instrumentation, Liance's evocative lyrics sketch honest and tenderly observed emotions, events, and relationships. All together, it's at once relatable and intriguing, inspiring deep feelings of appreciation and challenging you to listen again with whetted curiosity. The final track is a fantastic synthesis of obvious and obscure themes that run throughout the album and Liance's earlier work. Joshua Nederhood
