lyrics

There's a hole in the sole of your shoe
Invisible drain that sucks all your secrets away
Hole in the sole of your shoe
Where the truth disappears when the words that you use
Bounce off the walls and the things that you wanted to say
Slip away

Through the hole in the sole of your shoe
And the bigger it gets the more you will sense
White rabbits whiskers
On your sore blisters

Have you ever listened to the sound of your own voice?
Has it felt in a way disembodied and strange-
Like a part of you is not really there
Well maybe it slipped through the hole
Unaware

Through the hole in the sole of your shoe
Invisible drain that sucks all your regrets away
Hole in the sole of your shoe

With just the right mirror in just the right light
At just the right angle on just the right night:
Look through the hole to the lives that you’ve lived,
The miles you’ve walked, the people you’ve been,
The vows that you’ve broken, the secrets you’ve kept
The ones that got loose and the things left unsaid

While firmly rooted in the songwriter tradition, the ever ambitious artist explores a diverse
sonic palette that features harp, cornet, hurdy gurdy, double bass, accordion, layered vocals, tuba and more.
