about

(The current political divide in this country has reached a level of absurdity that is unbelievable... yet families and communities are being literally torn apart while the world watches with wide eyes. It's sad that we are essentially fighting over table scraps.)

lyrics

Its in these strange times, we find our truths
Which we cling to tight, too afraid to lose....
Left or right, its all the same
We all need someone else to take the blame
Place your ideals with the ones who lie
Echo the anger that's buried inside

Look inside yourself and come with me
Trample anyone that disagrees

While we are busy splitting hairs
Our freedom is pillaged without care
You revere your fool, your fearless pig
How can you tell me that were great again?
I only have so much pity for the blind
Its not all your we've fallen behind
I harbor the hope that there's still time
Were forever divided down the line
Now if I could just change your mind

Here we are just fighting for our ways
The great divide in our lives here to stay

Red or blue, why all the fuss
When in the end its them and us
Am I supposed to play along?
When I know in my heart that you are wrong
I just cant hate the ones I love
But its hard to love what I mistrust
Why the hell are we choosing between two sides?
Furthering the fracture of the great divide

With only separation in our lives
I fear we may never see eye to eye... across this divide

Christopher Shaw image

Christopher Shaw Portland, Oregon

I'm a multi-instrumentalist, and I began playing music at age 10, writing and recording solo work since age 16. Ive put in time with a handful of bands over the past couple decades but Ive always maintained a loner musical personality. My range in style is broad, and id rather remain undefined as a musician. This is my art/therapy. I hope its enjoyed, and I really appreciate feedback. Cheers. ... more
