about

Eigengrau is the "universal grey" that some people see in zero light environments. It is generated by the brain, perhaps to push away the overwhelming darkness.

I wrote this in February, the spiritually darkest of months, right after receiving some very bad news about someone I love and their cancer.

lyrics

Eigengrau

close your eyes
let everything fade
soft to gray
tomorrow might be
a new day- a new day - a new day

when the dark
is fully complete
you make sparks in the back of your eyes
to invent a new sky.

i will miss you - my love
1000x 1000x
but i will hold you
always
in the back of my tired eyes
