Curiosity killed the cat
A cat you could call my faith
She had as many lives as the prophets you can name
Well all a king’s horses or a president’s men
can bring back my heroes from dead
And neither can they even when they try
Still when the feeling hits me right
I kinda sense self-evidence
I’m sure
In the moment I forget how all appears and what’s been said
in her harmony I can see what he meant
Off the coast of nowhere is where we’ve ended up
Took a long look at liberty and got entangled in this stuff
Now I’m drowning in my discontent
Please let his silence denote the assent every slight nuance
and the glaring nonchalance its his intent
Don’t label me as believing in an all and too often underachieving
Hollowed hoaxing rumor of an absentee prime moving,
looming, laughingly late blooming holy host
Still when the feeling hits me right
I kinda sense self-evidence
I’m sure
Appearances aside
Adherences untied
In the absence of wit, I gotta admit it’s quite clear
In the absence of this, if in just a glimpse it’s quite clear

Behind The Song...
Coast Of Nowhere
I had the main lick of this song laying around and played it for Chris Berardo one very late night in my cousin's attic after a gig we did. Chris liked the lick and wanted to write something to it so I recorded a quick pass and off he went coming back with a first version I have somewhere if ever you want to hear it. We played the song a handful of times live, but Chris' version subconsciously spurred a bigger idea in my head and one day while visiting the Corrigan Compound on the side of a mountain in Vermont a revised, and very different version of "Coast Of Nowhere" just came out so I captured it. The new version made use of some of Chris' original melody and his main "Coast Of Nowhere" concept. A concept big enough to easily support two songs.
