about

Loneliness is an inevitable aspect of the human condition. This lush country ballad encapsulates the feeling of finding oneself alone time and time again, of coming to terms with the ways we create our own pain and often demand it in hopes of manifesting something better. A yearning for purpose and belonging.

lyrics

Lyrics

The wheels just won’t stop turning
I dug my heels into the sand
I couldn’t stop the burning
From the friction I demand

Another chapter concluded
So much faster than I thought
I’m bruised, used, polluted
Far from anything I sought

All alone again
Crawled into the open wind
I pawed my heels into the sand
Alone as I began
