Heartless 05:00
lyrics

For The Heartland Arsonist Heartless That One Fateful Morning Before The Dawn Came A Roomful Of Troubles Ignited The Flame I Used To Be Steady Would Pause To Smell Flowers But I Wasn't Ready When It Chewed Up My Powers And Every Day The Wheels Keep Turnin' And Every Way The Fires Keep Burnin' I Shuffle Through The Thoughts Of Yearnin' For It Is You That Started This Hurtin' Heartless In Your Way In This I Did Discover That What I Used To Say Is That You're Not That Kind Of Lover When They Finally Tracked Me Down Behind A Garbage Bin And When The Cuffs Went On I Was No Longer Driven They Threw Away The Key And Locked My Heart Away You Are Heartless Can't You See? Every Day And In Your Way And Every Day The Wheels Keep Turnin' And Every Way The Fires Keep Burnin' I Shuffle Through The Thoughts Of Yearnin' For It Is You That Started This Hurtin' Heartless In Your Way In This I Did Discover That What I Used To Say Is That You're Not That Kind Of Lover Heartless To The Core In This I Did Uncover That The Way Things Were Before Is That You're Not That Kind Of Lover

for The Residential School Victims and Survivors Forsaken A Conceited Wolf Dons A Sheepskin Suit On A Sinking Ship To A Tinny Tin Flute A Tired Gull Over A Windswept Sea Sees Weary Soldiers In A War Torn Scene Sometimes There's A Moment When It's Clear There's More To See We Are Forsaken, You And Me Just Call Me Forsaken An Ivory Statue In A River Of Tears A Boy Running Helpless, Hopeless, And In Fear If I Told You We Are One And The Same Dangling On A Cliff Edge, About To Fall In The Flame Sometimes There's A Moment When It's Clear There's More To See We Are Forsaken, You And Me Just Call Me Forsaken

for George Orwell Creeping Slowly Are You Down And Out?

about

Marcato, the musical symbol for "the loudest note", is a concept album that reflects on the archetypes and symbols that represent the post pandemic world, each song dedicated to a hero, villain, or concept that has transformed how we think, interact, and respond.
From the mass murderer John Wayne Gacy to the Victims of arson and Residential schools, to modern politicians and media, we carefully navigate these sometimes complicated inner chambers.
