This Bixby written ballad is featured on the independent release by Twelehourmary entitled 'Blowing Over'. It is a song about the inbetween and aftermath of the coming and going of a mistake. Easier heard than swallowed. In plainly braided words upon masterful musical scaffold, Bixby turns the re-examination of self into a psalm-song at the mirror.

Lyrics
I see it like slides in a slide show
the carousel stick on a frame on the wall
the memory's unfocused but brighter
it burns like a flare as it hovers and falls and
I've come back here to ease my mind
I know I've let you down again
I believed in the contradictions
strange how mirror stares you down
when the lights almost out and you face it
blink and what's off in the distance
is oncoming headlights and blowing out ground
the boundaries are gone in an instant
I'm gathering selves and I'm melting them down
and I've come back here to ease my mind
I know I've let you down again
I believed in the contradictions
strange how mirror stares you down
when the lights almost out and you face it
there's solace in the aftermath
I can't believe that I'm here and so far out past I thought I'd last
where my owned mistakes won't mistake me
