about

I feel like there was always a running joke about “sitting around and staring at a wall.” In the fall of 1994, I decided to write a song about it. The words follow a similar structure and theme as “Cold” in that it’s more about being descriptive and drawing a picture rather than telling a story, with each verse capturing the same scene at a different point in time. –R

lyrics

walls towering overhead
cracks so elegant and split
pure white monolith
words speak around it

pure white and elegant
washing walls and so content
wishing by the stars at night
staring cracking fall apart tonight

white light, radiant beams, blackened plague, broken dreams

personal feelings for the dead
thinking of words that my mother said
blackened plague appears on the wall
crooked lines broken dead

dark stained and elegant
blackened walls cracked and condemned
pleading falling stars at night
dark stains on my heart tonight

Frace, 1994, Recorded in 1995
