about

Kendall, one of the original members of the band, moved to Chicago and started a podcast called "Let's Get Serious". During a visit he had Me on the podcast and we talked about all sorts of things including but not limited to, Buckaroo Banzai and how long and confusing my song titles were getting.

I also performed this song (the title track off of our upcoming full length "Doom of the Norns") acoustically. There is some pretty funny banter between Kendall and I included for your listening pleasure.

lyrics

Tell me one last time how these strings unwind.
If you're going that way I'm going that way too.

We'll get lost again, but not until the threads spin.
If you're going that way I'm going that way too.

You're life is made of all the choices you make,
But then your choices are defined by your fate.
It's all wound up in knotted string.

Your fate is tied up in a thousand small knots.
The knots are something that you'll choose to untie,
And then you'll have a lot of time to start to wind the string and knot the string again.

If I wound your heart up in my hands
It might keep you from turning and flying away from me.
But, if I wound your heart up in this string
I'd want to cut it all away so it could just be free.

Tell me one last time how these strings unwind.
If you're going that way I'm going that way too.

We'll get lost again, but not until the threads spin.
If you're going that way I'm going that way too.
