lyrics

I built a house, built on sand
mixed with silt, no cement
and it lasted for a year
‘til the tide took it back
‘til the tide took it back

I tried again with gravel base
sticks and mud and duct tape
though it got me through the month
the wind took it back
the wind took it back

compensating for shortcomings
you never know what is or is to be
do your best, prep for disaster
and pray the walls will hold

battered by the wrath of nature
my emotion leaves me bare
so I gather shreds of my faith
as I try to plug the holes

I built myself, built with bricks
with no doors or windows
and it should last for awhile
at least until I die

about

The Enigmatic Foe Knoxville, Tennessee

With sharp lyrics, the playful pop bite of the best of the 70s and 80s, and the kind of self-deprecation usually reserved for a Woody Allen movie, Jared Colinger's lyrics run the gamut from the joy of new love to disillusionment with the old, from wanting to like yourself to being afraid of what we have in our minds.

The new music coming in 2023.
