Story Behind The Song
Dark days. We feel buried under endless unnerving headlines. We cling to past mistakes and regrets. We romanticize. We make excuses. We look for clarity and resolution, often finding neither. Even as the things we perceive as negative can sometimes light our way with an unsettling brilliance, we look away. Tear it all up. Everyone is looking for their out.
Song Description
The Out is presented in a jigsaw puzzle arrangement of staccato notes intended to motivate people to dance with existential reflection and find their escape.

Lyrics
There's a lie
If you're good, I'm good
Cold calculations
Don't rearrange
The out
The out
The out
It was not life banging away
The out
The out
The out
It was not life changing anyway
Just pointing at words
Desperate to undo feeling this way
Your sins, brighter than the sun
Your sins, better than what came before
The out for you is one way
The out for you is no way
Politics and power
Philosophy arouses her
The out
The out
The out
It was not life banging away
The out
The out
The out
It was not life changing anyway
I think we'll be spared
I think we'll see the tragedy
I think we'll be spared
I think I'll be your tragedy
Regret, decay
And never mirror days
The threats replay
Though silence never stays
The out
The out
The out
It was not life banging away
The out
The out
The out
It was not life changing anyway
The out
The out
The out
It was not life banging away
The out
The out
The out
It was not life changing anyway
What's right for the head
What's right in the head
Put myself away
Put it right in my head
It was not life banging away
It was not life changing anyway
The out for you is one way
The out for you is no way
