“I’m not here to conquer fear. But to meet it when it’s near.”

This song is a dialogue—between the voice that seeks truth, and the voice that quietly fears it’s not enough.

I wrote this while reflecting on what really drives us: – The need to be right – To be liked – To be useful – To feel complete.

It’s inspired by a passage from Peter Ralston on the self-agenda—how our deepest drives are often rooted in a subtle background dissatisfaction. But what happens when that dissolves?

"Useless / Whole" is about shedding the masks we build around our fear of not mattering… and finding something far more peaceful underneath.
