about

“ ‘Vaya Con Dios’ — “go with god” — a since-past Spanish farewell, written with regard to one’s inevitable death. Our lives are our surroundings. In our hometown, Wilkes-Barre, PA, the many years of sadness have moved through like glaciers, and we have formed as beautiful mountains on the landscape. With regard, saying ‘goodbye’ is a redefinition of reality, regardless of time, space, or moral compass.” - Charles Davis (guitarist, keyboardist)

lyrics

Oh mama, tell 'em I am sorry
You know I just had to go
I mean these people all are crazy
But it's nothing personal

Oh with their eyes all like Medusas
Kisses as Judas'
I try to remain optimistic
But if feels like foolishness

They say the truth will set you free
I find sometimes so will lies
It's hard to see your enemies
when all your friends are in disguise

So mama tell 'em I am sorry
I just had to let 'em go
I mean these people all are crazy
But you know I love them so

Okay okay I'll pay back karma
One day when I find out what's really right and wrong
And not just somebody's opinion
