A Thousand Miles From Anywhere

A song about making mistakes. Huge thank you to Jenni for her amazing vocals. Hope you all enjoy!

Songs from a destination

Cloudy Skies

A rather weird, kind of gory-sounding song about some kind of dysfunctional relationship à la 'Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf' - that luckily has little to do with my own experience, so no need to get help!

Massive thanks as usual to @doru_uk for his epic bass contribution!

This is part of my second "album", https://soundcloud.com/jenni-grossmann/sets/when-the-curtain-falls

Verse 1
I’ll cut your skin, you’ll break my bones
You’re pulling me in, never letting me go 
I pull your hair, while you twist my neck
Lie to my face, crossing fingers behind my back

Chorus
You shatter my heart, but I’ll eat your soul,
You push me away then hold me way too close,
And I’ll scratch your face till I draw blood, 
While you cut me open and wrench my guts…

Verse 2
I’m screaming out at the top of my lungs,
You just cover your ears and calmly cut out my tongue,
I grab you by the collar smash your head against the wall
I drag your hands off your ears, but you hear nothing at all

Chorus
You shatter my heart, but I’ll eat your soul,
You push me away then hold me way too close,
And I’ll scratch your face till I draw blood, 
While you cut me open and wrench my guts

Chorus x 2
You shatter my heart, but I’ll eat your soul,
You push me away then hold me way too close,
And I’ll scratch your face till I draw blood, 
While you cut me open and wrench my guts…

When The Curtain Falls

Draw Blood

Lyrics

I’m watching the days roll by
And I'm comparing them side by side
Nothing ever seems to change at all
Just trapped in a loop of dull.

Will someone ease my brain?
‘Cos I just want to feel the rain again
On my skin, glistening, as the thunderstorm begins.
I just want to feel, alive again.

I wanna live my life, but it’s on pause
When I talk to my friends it’s on calls
My eyes can’t take much more of this blue light
But there’s no escape in sight.

Will someone ease my brain?
‘Cos I just want to feel the rain again
On my skin, glistening, as the thunderstorm begins.
I just to feel, alive again.

And I know there’ll come a day
When I hold your hand again
And though it may seem far away right now
I’ll see you soon, I’ll wait for you!

Alive Again

Sunday evenings are the hardest
In this cold December darkness
I try to ground myself, breathe deep
Do anything else 

And it comes on without warning
But I know the clouds are always forming
Try to ground myself, breathe deep
Do anything else

All these thoughts are always growing in my mind
Never satiated and I'm running out of time
(and I'm running out of time)

Mind running stream of conscious
Too far ahead for me to stop this
Dig at my skin  
'Cause I can't feel anything else

And the waiting feels so heavy
Flood waters threatening the levee 
So I cry myself to sleep 
Because I can't feel anything else

All these thoughts are always growing in my mind 
Never satiated and I'm running out of time 

I've got my hands, I've got my hands tied
I've got my hands, I've got my hands tied
I've got my hands, I've got my 

And I'm not looking for a way out 
I'm not looking for a way out of this
And I'm not looking for a way out
I'm not looking for a way out of this
And I've got my hands tied
(Beside my sides)
I've got my hands, I've got my...
