about
"on ballast" is a song about falling short of one's potential, disguised as a song about falling out of touch.
originally released on sectionZ's "Fresh Vol. 2" compilation, which is no longer available for purchase.
lyrics
the project scattered out in the trees
the pieces all tuned to one frequency
we both tried to climb and join the flock in the leaves
but the birds were perched too high for us to reach
i'm sorry i can't follow your lead
you want to make blackbirds out of machines
so when they stand, mechanically extending their wings
they'll intercept the silence and they'll bring it to me
