about

If, like, me you've ever wondered if life's worth all the pain... Please just hang on for one more day. Reach out. It's worth it.

lyrics

I used to wonder who’d care if I jumped.
So I climbed a tree toward the burning sun.
Looked below me to the cold, hard ground.
Couldn’t smell the flowers, so I thought about heading down

But I felt branches underneath my skin.
I felt branches – soakin’ the sunlight in.

Truth is I’m afraid to tell the truth about me.
So I’ll tell you somethin’ that you might believe.
A golden drop of honey on your tongue.
A ladder up to heaven – with lies for every rung

But I felt branches underneath my skin.
I felt branches – soakin’ the sunlight in.

I flew off that tree on the songs of the birds.
Felt their joy in every note I heard
A little more love, I coulda been much more.
But I’m so glad I remembered that life’s worth fighting for.

But I felt branches underneath my skin.
I felt branches – soakin’ the sunlight in.

There’s a picture in my pocket of the boy that I was.
I hear him callin’ out for love.
I’m feelin’ all the heartache that he’s holdin’ inside –
believin’ that he’s never enough.

But I felt branches underneath my skin.
I felt branches – lettin’ the daylight in.

about

Josh Barkey Waxhaw, North Carolina

I grew up barefoot in the Amazon jungle, catching and eating piranhas before they could catch and eat me.

After hand planting around half a million baby trees in the wilds of Canada, I cut my creative teeth as a painter, poet, writer of fiction, sculptor, and filmmaker.

Now (on the eve of an apocalypse) seemed as good a time as any to add another art form to the mix.
