lyrics

with these thoughts, I will declare myself legally dead
and with those strings, I will walk into the dark and hang myself.

and with this mouth, I will announce to the world my deepest secrets
through imagery and scenery. I'll lock them together in my mind.

it's not like these strings haven't hanged me
and I've tried to pretend my words haven't bound me,
but I'm a slave.

and with these fingers, I will press onto these strings the same ones that choked me in the dark
and with my voice, I will be free... as long as I keep on singing.

it's not like these strings haven't hanged me
and I've tried to pretend my words haven't bound me,
but I'm a slave.

I will be free
as long as I
keep on singing
in the dark
as long as I keep on singing in the dark.

about

Ben Hughes New Jersey

"...channels musicians like Elliott Smith, Bright Eyes, and Sufjan Stevens, as on Hughes’ previous releases. But this record immediately calls to mind Pedro the Lion’s Control, with its deep-voiced chords and melodies, lyrical themes of corporate hell, and Hughes’ slurring voice. It could stand as a complimentary album to Control just as well as it stands on its own."

-Nick Tate, WXPN
