about

Call illustrates the journey to reach one’s authentic self in a world that profits off your insecurities. The track opens with minimal synth sounds backing up an intimate confession. Tension and energy rise in waves to the crescendo, then return to the confessional with a new perspective, a new support. The theme here is when we make changes to please others, to please society, we lose ourselves.

lyrics

I was changing shape to fit the box
I was changing shape to fit the frame
I was changing shape to fit the gown
I was changing shape to fit the town

Over time there was nothing left
For my shape to connect to
It’s shadow blazed past mystery faces
So I called to my soul to take control
So I called to my soul to take control

I won’t change my shape to fit the box
I won’t change my shape to fit the fram

Calling far beyond words
Where truth is absurd
Where nature is the primary concern
When the call is made it can’t be ignored
When the call is made it can’t be ignored

I won’t change my shape to fit the gown
I won’t change my shape to fit the town

I was burrowing tunnels
Through skeletal walls
Through the muscles of rock
Through the soil of thought
Through times of transition
When there’s no clear position
Through times of restraint
When there’s nothing but pain
When the past returns
Again and again and again

I won’t change my shape to fit the box
I won’t change my shape to fit the frame
I won’t change my shape to fit the gown
I won’t change my shape to fit the town
