about

A breakup song, "The Final Cost" broods, dives, weaves, and whirls in its fatalism of a dying relationship. This was hard to write but therapeutic as well.

lyrics

I wanted to save you from the thick of it all
Instead it made you into the bell of the ball
Whatever love she gave was cast away
A simple twist of fate and she wouldn’t have walked away

(Chorus)
I never knew what had been changing
I never knew what we had made we lost
What is the root of this estranging?
What will ultimately be the final cost?

Oh no…

The queen of anger now sits secure on her thrown
Coronated with words that cut me right to the bone
Abandoned and indulged there was no halfway
What a combination
It’s no wonder you’ve ended up this way

(Chorus)

A casualty of the hate you feel
But it’s pointed towards the wrong enemy
I wasn’t the one who abandoned you
Instead it’s you that chose to do that to me
Wasted time and wasted love
A wasted voyage to the end of the sea
A wasted heart, a wasted soul
A waste of time is what you seem to be

The grief you gave to me is now repaid
You’re shattering to pieces…
Who’s gonna clean up the mess you made?

(Chorus)

Grief brought me back to music..

Six years after the death of my brother I started writing again. This album came out of that.

I think I tapped into something, but I guess it's not up to me to decide that claim. I hope people connect with both the raw grief I express and the recovery from that grief. ... more
