about

A song 20 years in the making, and the story is long...so let's just say that this is something I wanted to pull off most of my musical life but lacked some tools, some skill, and some chutzpah. Maybe I should have waited another 5, but I'm out of patience.

lyrics

The sun it always rises from the east to the west
Nowadays it never behaves
Frozen on the skyline just to prove it I guess
It's a feeling that I wanted to save

They say that God is in the details he's always so bold
Maybe it's the devil in drag
Staring in confusion I just do what I'm told
The psilocybin still in the bag

Woke up on a bed I've never been in before
There's a sunrise that I couldn't believe
Crawled onto the floor I couldn't take it no more
Sometimes it's so good to be free

There's a joker to the right me a clown on the left
Maybe that's a sign I should go
Filling up the tank with all your weed that I kept
Down the only highway I know

Sometimes it feels too real to me
Sometimes it's all that I have
Sometimes I just need to believe

Water seeks its level and baby so does the blood
Spill it and you'll see what I mean
You and me can share it but truth cuts enough
That's the surest chaos I've ever seen

There's a poison in the whiskey and a cure on the rocks
A momentary pause when you're near
It always crashes down like a boy with his blocks
It's the melody of pain that I fear
