lyrics

No man is a mountain, but no one seems to know.
And through the Strait of Messina, whole cities seem to grow.
Hot air can change a lot of things when used a certain way.
Composure covers everything, even on the worst day.
It cannot be said that we are self-made,
'Cause I stay waist-deep in this mud although I dig.
We all blame our actions on our faulty genes.
Psychology would make us slaves to nature, though we're free.
Why do I keep feigning independence,
When I know good life is not something I can build?
I could try to paint my own existence,
But I'd just be left with all the paint I spilled.
Lord, take this pride.
Invoke new life.

Scales of Motion recommends:

Hours From It
by Holy Fiction

This album is just beautiful and stirring. We've known Evan (Holy Fiction's lead singer/guitarist) for years and are huge fans of his previous band, Ethan Durelle. Check this album out! Scales of Motion

Earthbound Blues
by John Moreland

John is an old, old friend of ours and, for our money, one of the most incredible songwriters out there. "Earthbound Blues" is his best yet, but you really can't go wrong with any album of his. Scales of Motion
