1,000,000 Paces in the Darkness



1,000,000 paces in the darkness. Its the slogan I use to describe my life's journey. Who understands stumbling through dark tunnels and starving for light? Who knows about screaming as loud as you can and not a single soul hearing you? Who can empathize with bumping and lacerating your head on low blunt overhangs and spiked chandeliers? Not that your incapable of learning a lesson, but simply because there is no fucking light.

This darkness makes it where sprinting toward your goals is out of the question. Even walking too fast toward them seems to be detrimental to the cause. I've found that the best thing to do is walk as slow as you can! so the impacts aren't too severe.

What good is speed if the raceway is cluttered with scrap metal, strategically placed 1000 lb. ball bearings and wandering children playing ball?

Everything happens a lot slower in the dark. Maturity, wisdom, discernment, common sense: all develop with a molasses like slowness compared to the people in the light. Other people that dwell in the dark with me consist of: The Stranger, The Widow and The Fatherless. Sometimes late at night we all share sour stories with each other on how we almost got some light and contemplate ways to produce light ourselves (i.e. God, Jesus, Drugs etc.). But its all to no avail because we never get any light.

Not only is 1,000,000 Paces in the Darkness the way I dub life. Its the name of my debut album!
