about

FREEDOM is a single from our upcoming release Black Sprigs. A gothic folk album set in a fictional Midwestern town, loosely based on police blotters from Montana. Somber, heart-wrenching, and strange. Songs of frustration, homelessness, unfulfilled promises and buried desires. Threadbare and stark instrumentation with acoustic guitar, tonewheel organ, and humming.

lyrics

FREEDOM

Can you tell me
Who it was
Left a shopping cart
By my head

Can you tell me
Who it was
Threw my wallet
Across … the … parking lot

Can’t seem
To find my pants
Got my boots
For a pillow
A half-drunk beer
In my hand

I feel lost as a prayer
In a dumpster full of debt
Waiting for the pasture
On the other side

Maybe there’s freedom
Like garbage
On a runaway wind

(Interlude)

Can you tell me
Who it was
Said I’d never
Be poor

Can you tell me
Who it was
Said I’d always
Be rich

Can you tell me
Who it was so
I can break
Their hand

Maybe there’s freedom
Like garbage
On a runaway wind

Can you tell me
Who it was
Left a shopping cart
By my head

Can you tell me
Who it was
Threw my wallet
Across … the … parking lot

Can’t seem
To find my pants
Got my boots
For a pillow
A half-drunk beer
In my hand

I feel lost a prayer
In a dumpster full of debt
Waiting for the pasture
On the other side

Maybe there’s freedom
Like garbage
On a runaway wind

Can you tell me
Who it was
Said they’d always
Be my friend

Can you tell me
Who it was
Said we’d always
Win

Can you tell me
Who it was

So I can break
Their hand
Maybe there’s freedom
Like garbage
On a runaway wind

Maybe there’s freedom
Like garbage
On a runaway wind
