Most of this came to me at 5am on a Wednesday.
Fluorescent hum. No witnesses.
Like balancing a chemical equation in a dark underground lab. Something that could heal or detonate. Something that could only exist in a beautiful nightmare.
There are moments that will probably haunt me.
Punching my steering wheel after realizing I may have burned eight straight hours of creative life.
And that time? That shit ain’t free.
There were so many lineup changes when basically nothing happened.
Or maybe everything happened at once and I just have not seen it yet because it has not slowed down long enough to understand.
This wasn’t inspiration. It was friction. Rebuilding the signal in the dark until it stopped fighting back.
Most of all I want to say thank you.
Adam, for saving my ass.
Noah, for stepping in and lifting the heavy.
Tom, for being a true brother while I have been in crisis mode.
This could last one show.
It could vanish immediately.
It could go on forever.
It will not matter.
Because there was a glimpse. Just once.
Light at the end of the tunnel.
And once you see that, it exists somewhere. Always. Even in the beautiful nightmare.
Go.
Or don’t go.
In the end, what difference does it make?
The wave already happened.

THE LAST TIME
(Pwa/awp ep)
I’ve been waiting
For you
The last time
I completely found it all
I know you
I couldn’t tell her
Even my name
Into my mind
To the earth
