This song is born of strength and compassion, a reflection on the choices we make. Inspired by the predicament of a friend, the story is taken from observing life, relationships and creativity.

My love, Love If I am weak, My heart yearns, my eyes seek
A brand new land, what you see, just let it be.
Dont hold a torch for me
Dont wait long, dont leave no key
Just know I'm gone, Better off you will be
Cho: Cos its a lonely, Reverie. liviggas something you were never cut out to be
Mother, if I should stray, I never meant
To cause no shame, I know that they
Will tear me down, and curse my name
Well let em cast their stones
This two bit town is all they've known
It wont be long until their high horse is thrown.
Cho
Sister I know Youll understand
I was never meant, for tying these hands
Theres a difference tween doin what you should and what you can
When the dust, has settled down,
and all of these old sorrows are drowned
We can toast to our losses and to better luck this time around
Cho
