The struggle with depression and the struggle with a relationship about to die can, from a certain angle, appear to be the same story. This song is about either or both, and the ending is always uncertain.

lyrics

Sara Tone in my head
She's running away again
And I'm chasing after
The sound of laughter
We used to have it good
But I never understood
She was lighting a fire
Burning up a funeral pyre

Behaviors with no reason
Come and go with the season
And I'm so afraid
That she'll never explain
Why our connection is gone
And I can't hold on

Sara Tone in my head
But we're hanging by a thread
If she won't try
Then why should I?
Pills may heal things
At the cost of feeling
All the words unspoken
Is it better to be dead or broken?

Without Sara Tone in my mind
Is only a matter of time

Artists that I've drawn the largest influence from include Blink182, Ben Folds Five, New Found Glory, NOfX, and AFI. I often write about the darker parts of our nature, but also the bright moments that define us. ... more
