Tell me what’s it like
Not hiding all the time and jumping into these
Situations that only bring new frustrations 

And you may fool them once or twice
Until they found out that they’ve been mistaken 
And they’ll close in like hounds 
Perusing the night
Going out for blood

Stop the tape, rewind it back 
And tell me what you hear
Flashing back to a place fifteen years to this day
Unfamiliar and so far from here

And are you using your will and might?
Stretched so thin and pulled so tight 
Until each passing day you see them drifting 
Farther out of sight 

And you may fool them once or twice
Until they found out that they’ve been mistaken 
And they’ll close in like hounds 
Perusing the night
Going out for blood

Drifting

A Part of It

The title track for my upcoming record: “Bright Eyed and Bushy Tailed”

LYRICS: Well I’ve been shaking I’ve been aching
From these countless racing thoughts 
I’ve been trying to find connection
But it just seems to get me more lost
Maybe there’s a map or a compass
Around here somewhere
I’ll trust it for a while 
And reconcile for past affairs

And it’s a long way up
Seems like you’d had enough
Your voice is tired and rough
And calling 

Well I remember when you were
So bright eyed and bushy tailed 
Now every time you seem to get a taste
You claim it’s stale
Maybe it was left for too long out in the sun?
Yes I understand that can’t be any good
For anyone

And it’s a long way up
Seems like you’d had enough
Your voice is tired and rough
And calling 

It’s calling, and calling, and calling 

(x3)Every night you fight the urge 
To send the same message
You’re waving white flags 
Like anyone Is still present
And you’ll be fixing up the place
While wearing white dresses 
In hopes that someone has a thing
For manic depressives
