Music by Paul Pinto
Lyrics by Jeesun Choi, Isabella Dawis, Troy Defour and Max Potter
Max Potter, mezzo-soprano
Mila Henry, piano
Text:
cruel cruel
light on the window
dusty moonshine
right at the door
There lies a man
or what was once a man
now graces the earth
as spirit
searching for hope
in the depths of night
I peek into the afterlife
