about

Recorded in the fall of 2023, this song follows up the full 2022 LP of my songs, "Afterlife". Set in a straightforward guitar and voice production, the lyric for this song offers my personal reflection on the current upheaval and conflict of this time.

lyrics

Time falls right
upside down
some of us die
round and round

The waves they roll
inside ourselves
sometimes it matters
time will tell

We measure the sky
full and wide
while the door closes quietly
no one knows why

got to get this right
got to get this done
some things matter
a rising sun
the killing floor
won’t let go
bet your life
no chance to know

The king can’t rule
the enemy within
nobody’s laughing
at what’s been spent

Who could imagine
such a blessed place
no limit no matter
just infinite space

If rocks crumble
beneath the street
our past will pull us
up on our feet

got to get this right
got to get this done

I know I know I know
the light will shine through

got to get this right
got to get this done
some things matter
a rising sun
the killing floor
won’t let go
bet your life
no chance to know

A fist pounds louder
it doesn’t stop
absurd ideas
shape this spot

If we could leave
we surely would
time stands still
where we once stood

A slope that slips
a crack so wide
where nothing seems real
'cept our need to cry

Tomorrow brings
one more truth
running and running
to something new

got to get this right
got to get this done

Time falls right
upside down
some of us die
round and round

The waves they roll
inside ourselves
sometimes it matters
time will tell

We measure the sky
full and wide
while the door closes quietly
no one knows why
