about

When the core of this track was composed, I realized that it marked a really important point in my life and served as the start to a juxtaposed time line. I had recently moved to Nashville and was covertly running from a lot of things... a broken home, parents in custody battles over my brother and sister, my own failed relationship... the list goes on. All of those topics had been written on before, but the thing that really got me was when my parents sold the house I grew up in. I had a lot of really great memories there. My family wasn't perfect, nothing ever is I think, but growing up I really felt like we were close to it. As time went on though, perfect became a word far removed from our vocabulary. When I heard that our house finally sold, I was immediately overwhelmed with memories. I remembered climbing the crab apple tree in our front yard (the same tree on the record), playing in the snow with my brother and sister, my mom cooking, all of my cousins, aunts, uncles and friends and how they would always be over the house... It was an amazing way to grow up and to loose all of that, seemingly all at once, was devastating. It made me think, would it have been better if I had missed out on those things growing up? If I had not experienced the love of a ton of friends and family members, or lived all of the great memories that were now haunting me? Would that life void be a better replacement for the painful nostalgia I was experiencing over all I had lost? A lot of people think I'm crazy for even posing those questions, and that is understandable from an outsiders perspective. But to have lost the things that meant the most to me in life and to experience that pain, I couldn't help but stew over the question, "would it have been better to have been without?" That question, coupled with the quick sale of my childhood home was the impetus to the this track. When I wrote it, I knew I was setting the tone for something bigger. E.I.W.O.F.I.S.T. ominously begins and ends with a four note theme that pops its head up throughout the record, carrying you through the time line. It serves as the beginning to a story and problem that doesn't see it's resolution on this record. I loved and hated making this song... I can't begin to describe what it did to me. All I can say is that it's completion healed me... and to this day, that freedom was the greatest gift my music has ever given me. - Josh

lyrics

brick by brick i'll watch it fade away and when nothings left of my old house i'll refrain to one memory where we washed ourselves in the grass covered with snow only my brother and sister need to know that everything is working out fine in some town and i'm sorry for leaving you now
