Show Them You Studied
[Verse 1]
The sky will turn
The ground will shake
The light will fade
The clouds will wake
Every dent in your armor
They'll find it
They'll find it
A soft voice calls
While the thunder screams
Nothing's as easy as it seems
But you’re a wildfire
Can’t rewind it
Can't rewind it
[Chorus]
Show them you studied
Show them you know
When the storm rolls in
Don’t let it show
They’ll throw the test
You’ll throw the spark
Burn through the night
Ignite the dark
[Verse 2]
The devil laughs
The angels sigh
The stars ask questions in the sky
But your answers are fire
You’ve got the key
You've got the key
The universe spins
The rules don’t stick
Life’s a puzzle
A magic trick
You’re the card up the sleeve they’ll never see
They'll never see
[Prechorus]
Don’t be a fool
Don’t back away
You’ve been training for this every day
Chorus]
Show them you studied
Show them you know
When the storm rolls in
Don’t let it show
They’ll throw the test
You’ll throw the spark
Burn through the night
Ignite the dark
Ignite the dark
Show them you studied.

WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.

Thoughts on Vocal and the way the world is
"Death cannot stop true love, only delay it." – Wesley in The Princess Bride. I decided to come back to Vocal on a very cold and dark night at the end of December. I had been, and still am, convalescing from a horrible staph infection that had gone misdiagnosed for months. This, paired with the increasing challenges of being healthy, making the best choices for my co-parented child, being a wife, and being a director at a new job, was a lot to manage.
