I'm losing speed
Trying to keep up with you
I'm losing speed
Worrying about you
How long will it take
'Til I can have your heart to break?
Red eye
I'm asking you
Your beautiful fear
Is the Holy Ghost town
Let's close in the road
We used to drive down
How long will it take
'Til I can have your heart to break?
Red eye
I'm asking you
You know I hate the way
Your love don't stay
Red eye
I'm asking you
Your eyelids don't shut
But you don't see me here
When I need to be saved
The queen disappears
How long will it take
'Til I can have your heart to break?
Red eye
I'm asking you
You know I hate the way
Your love don't stay
Red eye

Healing oneself is a process of acceptance, and is most often accompanied by confusion. With our hands we experience the world. As infants, we reflexively grab to explore, not afraid of what may hurt us. And so, sometimes we need to go through illogical rituals to feel whole and restored, such as cleansing oneself of past grime. Through the distortion of water, the hands may look unappealing, melting away what formally made them recognizable. As we all go through the commonly ugly journey of change, we must see the odd and raw beauty of restoration.
The piece was done in oils to achieve a soft look. The intentionality of distorting the image of the hands in the water adds to the symbolism of the piece and artistic intrigue. The use of contrast between warm and cool tones signifies the need to 'cool off'.
