about
This track is dedicated to the late great Kevin Yealdhall and anyone who is fighting through the fog of mental illness.
The writing of this song helped me process the loss of my brother. There's not a minute that goes by that I don't think of him. He would have been 29 today.
My sister Lauren Yealdhall is passionate about crushing the stigma that surrounds the mental health conversation and she is making some moves in the state of Maryland. Her efforts are starting to gain some momentum but she could use more voices. Please email skribe45@gmail.com with the subject CRUSH THE STIGMA and I will put you in touch.

lyrics
I've been trying to crack it like a case
what you tried to say that night
but all that we could do was vigil on
that disconnected line
and hope that you were on the other end
picking up the send inside
so hit me up because I might relate
and if you hesitate there's time.
the balancing, it never ends
I found a light in the big nothing.
yeah I hear you it's a heavy lift with every rising rift you face
like when we finally get relief from heat
and it's a fucking hurricane
I'm sure as hell not knowing how you feel
yeah you reserve the right to refrain
but I'll be here to help you put it out
I'll be your water or your flame
the balancing, it never ends
I found a light in the big nothing
the balancing, it never ends
follow the light through the big nothing
what you tried to say that night
but all that we could do was vigil on
that disconnected line
and hope that you were on the other end
picking up the send inside
so hit me up because I might relate
and if you hesitate there's time.
the balancing, it never ends
I found a light in the big nothing.
yeah I hear you it's a heavy lift with every rising rift you face
like when we finally get relief from heat
and it's a fucking hurricane
I'm sure as hell not knowing how you feel
yeah you reserve the right to refrain
but I'll be here to help you put it out
I'll be your water or your flame
the balancing, it never ends
I found a light in the big nothing
the balancing, it never ends
follow the light through the big nothing
