about

As the country where I live seems to careen toward conflict, I have to ask... is this inevitable? I hope not.

lyrics

You came at me from a burning building,
waving your flags and your guns
I wasn’t sure what you were doing,
whether to stay… or run.

But a man is not what he seems.
He can stand, or he can run toward his dreams
What’s your dream? What’s your dream?

One thousand rounds in your deep dark bunker,
waiting for monsters to come
You thought that I was coming to getcha,
you thought the end had begun

But a man is not what he seems.
He can stand, or he can run toward his dreams
What’s your dream? What’s your dream?

You told the night that I was the pyro,
you said that I was the one
Never admit that it’s you with the lighter,
waving your flags and your guns

You lit a fire.
You lit a fire in your home.
You made a pyre of the desires you can’t own

But a man is not what he seems.
He can stand, or he can run toward his dreams
What’s your dream? What’s your dream?

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.

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