lyrics

Baby, these are dark days
But you can’t help me see through the haze
Try as though that you may
The weight of his life still hangs over me
I’m sorry he’s eclipsed
The love of my life who now misses me so
And it has come to this
I’m too wounded to feel your kiss anymore
Baby, these are dark days
I’m crazy and I’m ashamed of myself
Your waiting for me to finally say
That I’ve cast him away like a stone to the ocean
Is it him or you or me
Who’ll win the war for what’s left of me?
All I can say is sorry
That I’ve let you down and you’re so lonely
It’s not fair that I fell so far
Hooked my life to a dying star
Devotion only goes so far
Now it’s coming back to haunt us both

You were there for the worst of it
You always knew he was full of shit
Pity me ‘cause I fell for it
Now it’s coming back to haunt us both again
Baby, these are dark days
I’ve left you while you still love me so
Maybe things will all change
Maybe in time I will learn to let him go

I’m not what I should be
I know it’s hard to see me like this
Please don’t give up on me
‘Cause he’s the one to blame and I think you agree

Grief brought me back to music..

Six years after the death of my brother I started writing again. This album came out of that.

I think I tapped into something, but I guess it's not up to me to decide that claim. I hope people connect with both the raw grief I express and the recovery from that grief. ... more
