Passarola

from In a World by The Persona

/

  • The Persona’s crowdfunded comic book EP was released on June 17, 2016. “In a World” is an EP in which the songs in a digital album correspond to stories in a print comic book. The music and script were written by The Persona, and the art was illustrated by Austin artists Anissa Bryant and Ruthie Junto.

    The A-side is Metaphors, an industrial hip hop anthem written by the Persona while he worked on an offshore oil rig. Ruthie Junto’s comic shares vignettes of The Persona’s time working in the Gulf of Mexico.

    The B-side is Passarola, an electro-ambient song that uses images of flight to convey the challenges of committing to change. In the Passarola comic, Anissa Bryant illustrates stories from The Persona’s childhood in which he visits his family by plane.

    Includes unlimited streaming of In a World via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

Stare into a screen
where the cursor's gonna flash
Struggle to type
another line from the past
Now I'm done with the blade
I'm done with the jade
No more fingers down my throat forcing songs from my mistakes
There was a time when I suffered
for the love of another
When my life and my lines were not designed to discover
Myself but instead
they were there to be misled
from the me turning corners
again and again and again

It's a brand new day; I'll turn the leaf
I'll pull the quill, I'll let it bleed
Got the weight of the world beneath my feet
No more star-gazing from my place of certainty

Like a phoenix rising up just to choke upon the ashes
I'm past taking glances looking back at second chances.
The sun rises every morning even if I don't see it
Time to smile at my mistakes like I'm born underneath it.
Gonna burn away these paper angel wings
and ride the wind that morning brings
I don't love wisdom;
I love the right sound
Gotta drop another chorus just to get me off the ground, right now
