lyrics

Born into a world of endless possibility
We grow old and lose our faith in what we can achieve
Even as the baby grows into a man
We still handle life with kid gloves
Cradled in our hands

Cognizant of the tension between order and entropy
The mindset is to survive rather than to free
Even as the ocean robs the shore of its sand
We do all we can to keep life
Stable in our hands

So many lives like pepper spray inside a designer purse
We try so hard to look our best while bracing for the worst
Can we free ourselves of these self-imposed demands
And forgive ourselves when things aren't
According to our plan

about

greybarrel draws inspiration from a combination of classical & choral music and mainstream rock from the 60s to present. ... more The resultant aesthetic is melody-driven rock that gets heavy on the harmony, whether it's a playful pop song, slow-burner, or canon. greybarrel finds fulfillment and therapy in playing & singing and therefore seeks to write music that is accessible, genuine, and moving. less
