Great Wall: What it Took

The Noiseless Aura

What it took Was a man to have a passion What it took Was a great wall to be formed What it meant Was that I was under-performing And under-providing Now I see that I had a choice Now I know that I chose right Now I hold all these memories Over the ledge, and let go What it took was a hand willing to let go What it took was a hand, my hand, let go

Recorded the day after I recorded the self-titled EP - again, all in one day. This collection of songs chronicles my 24th year of life, the year that I developed symptoms of bipolar disorder, moved to Chicago and back, was unemployed, and separated from my ex-wife. Not my favorite slice of the pie chart that is my life, to put it mildly.
Remember that there are no rules.
