Like everyone, I am feeling hit again and again by all the shit going on in the world. This is the embodiment of those feelings in a song.

Lyrics & Chords:
C           G                C
I don’t know how to feel
F           Am               G
And the words won’t come out right
C           G                C
Life feels like a minefield
F           Am               G
It keeps me up at night

Am         G                 C
Everything  is wrong
F            Am               G
Everything’s a bomb
Am         G                 C
I spend so much time exploding
F            Am               G
How will I carry on

C           G                C
Pills only help so much
F           Am               G
They dim the fires of the world
C           G                C
But how can I be of it
F           Am               G
While watching hell unfurl

Am         G                 C
Everything  is wrong
F            Am               G
Everything’s a bomb
Am         G                 C
I spend so much time exploding
F            Am               G
How will I carry on

Matt stop being maudlin
F           Am               G
Matt stop being down
C           G                C
Matt just look up higher
F           Am               G
Stop lying on the ground
Am         G                 C
Everything  is wrong
F            Am               G
Everything’s a bomb
Am         G                 C
I spend so much time exploding
F            Am               G
How will I carry on

Bomb

I was horrified and deeply saddened by the violence and loss that occurred in my home province of Nova Scotia in April 2020. This province is filled with beautiful people that are broken and sad and need healing. This is my hug to them. #nsstrong #novascotiastrong

Lyrics:

I guess you need to know
That this world isn’t all right
Sometimes the sky gets dark
And a storm appears in sight

When the blue turns to grey
And the sunlight leaves the sky
You know you can count on me
To leave on a light

For you


I’ll be a lighthouse in the night
I’ll save your ship from all the rocks
I will guide you back to right
Because I see you feel so  lost

I’ll bring you back ashore
Scare the demons out of sight
There is nothing that I want more
Then to have you home tonight


When the night is closing in
And you can’t breathe right
When you pitch and dip and fall
My arms will hold you tight

And though the rain beats down
And the salt stings your eyes
I’ll help you find the shore
I’m going to make it all alright

For you

I’ll be a lighthouse in the night
I’ll save the ship from all the rocks
I will guide you  to what is right
Because I see you feel so  lost

I’ll help bring you ashore
Scare the demons out of sight
There is nothing that I want more
Then to have you home tonight

Disappear

When the pain hits and you feel empty inside, it's important to remember that there is always more to life. 2020 has been a hell of a year but things are only going up from here.
