A rare collab while sitting around a bar with an old friend and some whiskey.


Welding Burns


they are mostly unseen
these medals of mine
bloodied and bruised
they stand like a shrine
of the aches and the stumbles
that have wound through my days

those days where I live
in precarious ways
inside and out
yet I live within
bring back the power
within

so look at merry
and sorry
and blue
and remember this song
is not intended for you

then I can stand
with my head
in my heart
and my head
in my mind
together
yours and mine
