A Jazz/Blues number about moving on and leaving behind the things that hold us back.
lyrics
Resignation
I'm calling a halt
I'm handing my notice in
It's not your fault
I just have to end to begin
It's not in my blood
To accept these chains
If I sell my soul
Tell me, what is it that remains?
A poor empty shell
So please think of me well
As I walk away
Please don't ask me to stay
'Cause I'm calling a halt, I'm calling a halt
I'm adding full stop
To the sentences that I serve
To get to the top
You have to know just what you deserve
And this isn't it
A desk and a swivel chair
I'm sick of this shit
I'm not going to swivel there
I'm doing my thing
Oh let the phones ring
'Cause I'm off the hook
Maybe I'll write me a book
'Cause I'm adding full stop
I'm adding full stop
I'm saying au revoir
'Cause goodbye just don't sound right
And you know who you are
The broken that let in the light
And I'm sad to be leaving
Just as you start to shine
But I'm done believing
That this path is mine
So I'll carve my own
And I know with music I'm never alone
And I'll find my way
Today is my last and my very first day
So I'm saying au revoir
I'm saying au revoir
So I'll take a leap
Maybe catch up on sleep
I'll do some free fallin'
But I'll find my calling
So I'm calling a halt
I'm handing my notice in
It's not your fault
I just have to end to begin
It's not in my blood
To accept these chains
If I sell my soul
Tell me what is it that remains?
Nothing remains, nothing remains

I didn't think I would like this record but it's so infectious in its ability to change from prog to post rock then to psychedelic and onwards into alternative metal. Such an amazing feat to introduce the saxophone and it sounds so cool, this record is outstanding. Darknight
