about

Ever get that sense of foreboding that comes with things going unnaturally well? I wrote this song over the course of many pleasant joggings, always feeling driven forward by the inevitable consequences of my lifetime of poor decisions.

lyrics

(I know I know)
the past'll catch up to find me
even though i think my future lookin bright
i'm pretty sure that everything gonna be alright
but even so i'm always lookin out right behind me

oh the things i've said
and the things i've done
don't look back, you'd just walk away
please spare me that pain

bad memories can't explain
what i found in myself
or what i became

it's only by turning our backs
and lookin ahead
we can see where we've been

(chorus)

There's tears in my eyes
as the mask falls aside
Worn out lies only get you so far
in disguising harsh truths

Time lays hold of your chain
with a flick of her hand
it all comes back on you

She says "Struggle if you must,
but know this life is a desperate, vain
search to find something more

and in belief illumine
that something
can be given a name

and in that name
we'll be able to hear
the sound of our own voice

and the voice will be screaming aloud
we gotta live with our choices"

(chorus)
