about

About ARCAS, the wildlife organization that I travelled to Guatemala to work with. The album is intended to raise funds and awareness for ARCAS.

lyrics

I was taken to a place, a place that breaks it all down
Where tragic lives and the best intentions lay buried in the potter’s ground
Where people shed tears of joy, where people just cry
Where people devote themselves completely and never question why
We came from all corners with vague ideas of what it meant to help
Hoping to learn of the world at large along with some things about ourselves
It was a different language, what I spoke and I felt inside
And for the first time I felt like I deserved my rest at night

I’ve run my body ragged off excess and manual labour
But money, God, and other drugs ain’t ever been my saviour
And I’ve called home to east-end ghettos and nice downtown apartments
I found more guiding light where the night grows darkest
Where the night grows darkest

They taught an education I haven’t found on streets or schools
Life or death, stillness or breath, and other unforgiving rules
The men held their patience, and animals held my heart
And I went to bed with a purpose well-fed, embraced in the jungle’s dark

I’ve slept on friends and strangers floors, and the back of punk rock vans
I’ve wiped stains of blood and complacency off my hands
And I’ve seen many footprints stray from what path seems hardest
I’m gonna be unafraid to charge into the darkness
When I first met Vigo, we tried to make him a home
Sick and scared, we fed and held him so he wouldn’t feel alone
I sang to him on morning, I buried him that night
I watched him breathe his final breaths before the sun had set out of sight

And I went to bed so goddamn angry
I went to bed so damn confused
I went to bed hating what the pessimists keep saying
Kuz I have seen what we have lose
There’s so much left to lose
