about
Alone on a road sign far from home, “Wilbur By The Sea” was a seemingly random but curiously inviting name. Apparently content to be peculiar, and at home in its placement, it greeted me as a passing traveler searching for the same peace about things. It seemed a fitting moniker.
"Somehow, Knisely sings about love without sounding desperate, about faith without sounding preachy, and about bitterness without sounding unoriginal. To hit all the major inspirations for music in an interesting way is a task that shouldn’t be underestimated" (Cory Jackson, WildBlog).
"Life, love and music. That pretty much sums up the story for Sean Knisely" (Nick Harrah, The Herald-Dispatch).

You remember all you say
even when my thoughts are vague
Forgiveness doesn't make a sound
The demons come my way
right up in my face
I push them away for now
Can you make this go away
Bury my mistakes
Remind me you don't write them down anymore
You remember what's been paid
even when my feelings change
It's not a covenant of chemicals
To dwell is all a waste
Does nothing for my state
The place I change is deeper down
Can you make this go away
Bury my mistakes
Remind me you don't write them down anymore - Track Name: We Hid Ourselves Among The Trees
-
I betrothed my hope to the darkness just to hold you
Truth be told I've shown no one else the things I've shown you
All the things I've known are betrayed by looking at you
I can hold you close under heat to faster hatch you
And I've faked my way through the loneliest day
and I can blame my wayward gaze for this lonely escape
where my brain becomes a means just to describe what I taste
and it takes my veins back to where they originate
I run, I run on the road that came before you
I was told where this goes, now those words adorn a statue
I can hold my own under water longer than you
Though you hold my soul over coals, still looking at you
On my own it's a game to fall before you
til you show my soul what you gave
Then for maybe an hour or a day I'll come back and just adore you
but my eyes they always change
And I've faked my way through the loneliest day
and I can blame my wayward gaze for this empty escape
Is my brain only a means just to describe what I taste
and is to taste just a way for me to mask where I ache
and I can trace this shame to my father Adam's face
and it takes my veins back to where they originate - Track Name: Long Division
-
You're taking what you're afraid of
and you're causing it to be
Looking for any reason to separate from me
And you want to look back now
and tell yourself that this was all on me
It's just your own self fulfilling prophecy
If it's your mission to burn bridges
you won't bring me down with you
If it's your wish to cause division
do you really want to cut me out
Can we talk about this
I guess you care too much to give specifics
Tear us down but you keep it vague
You hold that ground you won't let nothing change
Decide to hate what I love but don't tell me
Just keep away then blame the break on me
Say it plain to everyone except for me
Defend this away
Shift the blame - Track Name: A Cemetery Greeting
-
You gotta fix your own problems cause you don't know God
and the devil just laughs as you try so hard
You got fifty-one albums on your bedroom floor
and not a single one's singing what you're longing for
No one made you ready enough to make this climb
but you wouldn't have believed it if it's written in the sky
You've been kissing your demons in the middle of the night
There's not a megaphone big enough to ask you why
Give a cemetery greeting to the bones next door
Just a big smile faking what you felt before
No one made you ready enough to make this climb
but you wouldn't have believed it if it's written in the sky
You're not getting any better but you're keeping in stride
As long as no one else tries you'll be doing just fine - Track Name: Cinnamon
-
I want to ask you why you couldn't make a fist
And you didn't take your copy of our photo strip
And the letter that I sent before, what did you think of it
I just want to talk to you
Is this just as hard for you
Can you change your mind
No it's not the right time
I still have your bike, it's in my basement
And I didn't get your scrapbook back, my birthday gift
And I see that you found someone to make cupcakes with
Is this just as hard for you
I just want to be with you
I wish that I could guard you from the cinnamon
And I wonder if you notice when the Jackets win
and what your calendar will say next time it gets to 10 - Track Name: Zephaniah 3:17

Hear my plea, oh Lord I am so weak
Would you take my burdens, bear them for me
Soon you'll cast out the enemy
Would you wipe my tears, hold me close and sing
You quiet me with your love
your heavenly melodies singing over me
You calm my soul from above
Unspeakable peace, singing over me
All my shame, Lord all my guilt you see
Still you say you'll delight in me
You're mighty to save, Lord let my soul believe
I should feel your wrath, but I hear you sing
I feel all alone, but you're here with me
My shame fills the air, but you died for me
My life you define, I'm yours
