Limestone

by Kaitlyn Zittel

supported by

Andre’ J. Phillips “But in these clothes I’ll go to bed”...”how do we sleep while our beds are burning? how do we dance while our earth is turning?””The time has come to say fair’s fair, to pay the rent, to pay our share. The time has come, a fact’s a fact. It belongs to them, let’s give it back.””Four wheels scare the cockatoos from kintore east to yuendemu. The western desert lives and breathes in forty five degrees.”

about

Recording "Limestone" was such a wonderful experience; I got to work on it with three other incredibly gifted musicians who I am blessed to also call friends. Collaborating with them in the studio and dreaming together about what this song could be was a totally new experience for me, and one I hope to repeat.

Huge thanks to Bright Light Audio for the commitment, enthusiasm, and hard work you gave to this project! You rock!

lyrics

Dirty water, shows me my reflection... I am darker, muddied by my sin.
 Brick and mortar, built this fine town
With no foundation, your labor crumbles to the ground.
 But I will build my house on limestone. 

We’re all pieces, playing on a board.
 Could someone tell me, if I’m a knight or just a horse.
 We’re all pawns, no one means a thing. 
But even pawns, sometimes become the king. 

 Nothing’s right, all that shouldn't be just is. 
Nothing’s light, the darkness wins again.
 Nothing’s right, afraid of all we know. 
Nowhere to hide, the dark is in control.  
But I will build my house on limestone.

A wise man said, “Death is the destiny  of every man and there’s nothing he can take.”
But I’m a fool, for I don’t heed this truth.
Fists clenched tight, holding onto all I get.

Nothing’s right, all that shouldn't be just is. 
Nothing’s light, the darkness wins again.
 Nothing’s right, afraid of all we know. 
Nowhere to hide, the dark is in control.  
But I will build my house on limestone.

I walk closer, to the scary edge.
Bath in dirty water... now all my clothes are wet.
But in these clothes I’ll go to bed.
