Oh the Mississippi's weary
Of all the secrets she must carry
It's time we drank our own mistakes
Notes folded into bottles
And tossed into the water
Come to shore someday
All the centuries of waiting
The guilt is suffocating
It's time I faced my own mistakes
I wade into the wake
And I'm down on my knees once again
It all floats away
It all floats away
The pain and the ache
It breaks
On the banks of yesterday
It all floats away
And out to sea
Only time will tell
You gotta pay the storyteller
That debt can wait another day
So pass around the bottle and sing along
Till you believe every word that they say
Till it all floats away
It all floats away
The pain and the ache
It breaks
On the banks of yesterday
It all floats away
And out to sea
Leapt like vines in a sickening heat
Can't unwind
Can't even breathe
Pray for time
pray for release
pray for rain
Until it all floats away
It all floats away
The pain and the ache
It breaks
On the banks of yesterday
It all floats away
And out to sea

Chad Clark makes music in four dimensions. Please Advise offers a somewhat compact, yet still very outsized, version of his vision by virtue of its EP length. But walking around its dimensions, full of unknown colors and textures, I keep finding corners that lead to other rooms. Lars Gotrich
