about

In this chapter, Prill has set sail for the first time in eight years. He is filled with a courageous verve and experiences a moment of great clarity as he takes to the sea and begins his new journey—ready to redeem himself and be whole again. There is however a slight inkling of indifference within his being, and he is not sure what to think of it.

"Throw your pigeons a pie" is an expression I have coined which essentially means, "Do not worry about it."

lyrics

With much plight, I rose to full height
Matching a hero!
-The atramentous sky beating down
And I was too proud to admit
That all I had gained was a mess of dilemmas
And I would not call this an encore
T'was a brand new stage!

Throw your pigeons a pie!
This is my finest hour!
Though you saw my return,
You didn't see I'm no coward

On my side, I noticed a dial
No numbers or indication for sleight of my hand
The way had been sealed from the inside
The outside was weathered—much like myself
So I poked and prodded its nature for the story it'd tell

Throw your pigeons a pie!
This is my finest hour!
Though you saw my return,
You didn't see I'm no coward
With a heart opened wide,
And a soul turning outward
There was nothing to change
Not in my finest hour

And I reckon I'm cured
So I sound out a hearty hallelujah!
For the world looks much more perfect
Through less sensitive eyes

I read this on a paper that could represent my life
At first, I deemed it hostile,
For I only saw in one dimension
It's overwhelming just to think I was so blind
The answers I've been searching for are already here!
If I'd just look around!
Open the coffins I pretend are eyelids and stare!
They're already here,
And I saw past it all in disbelief

Then my soul felt light as a feather
And your waves had ushered my return
That saline air I breathed brought memories of your shore
So I poked and prodded your nature
For the story you'd been trying to tell me
It was written in stardust, but I was too prideful to see!

Throw your pigeons a pie!
This is my finest hour!
Though you saw my return,
You didn't see I'm no coward
With a heart opened wide,
And a soul turning outward
There was nothing to change
Not in my finest hour
Not in my finest hour
This is my finest hour!

Hungry Lights

Hungry Lights is my solo music project. The plan is to release five concept albums all surrounding a character named, "Prill," who is a plesiosaur hunter on a quest to better his life, but everything he does just adds to his own delusion and lack of self-worth. The music is the musical interpretation of a book series I have been writing called, "From Windfall To Hell." ... more
