The Story of Never and Me
Track 1. Never and Me.
This track was inspired when I read a series of Saul Williams’ tweets, actually (and the song is NOT about him, I do not know him.) He was in the streets of Paris in the middle of the night, alone with his thoughts, and it made me feel like I was there, in this invisible battle that we all have, between what we see, and what we have on the inside. The “me” was more like of what I visualized the overrulling invisible universal force was, observing, that could be our salvation or our destruction. Our choice.

it’s 3 a.m. i know where your mind is
somewhere between the thick of the streets
calling in the souls of the blinded
somewhere between never and me
it’s 4 a.m. i know where your soul is
somewhere between the lost and the fallen
it’s climbing in
and calling you slowly
somewhere between never and me
is it safe to leave you alone
with all of your devices and all of your crises
twisted as the fight is
it’s all been decided
and the night will keep you
safe from harm
safe from harm
the space between never and me
is where you find it safe to be
it’s 5 a.m. there’s nowhere to go now
somewhere between
sleep and a dream
the night it fades, a weight off your shoulders
somewhere between never and me
is it safe to leave you alone
with all of your vices and all of your crises
twisted as the fight is
it’s all been decided
and the night will keep you
safe from harm
safe from harm
the space between never and me
is where you find it safe to be
I will keep you safe from harm.
