about

One of my occasional audio exorcisms. This is catharsis, not accusation. Recorded live with no overdubs. Took about a million takes until I liked it. Not perfect and doesn't want to be.

lyrics

I miss hugs and I miss kisses
But mine seem they were displaced
I didn’t know what I was missing
Life is going fast and going away

So much more dies than I had thought
Sometimes it’s almost everything
And all that’s left is emptiness
Eternity should be better than I think

Home is where the heart aches
Gets taken out until it’s gone
After that I can’t catch a break
I can’t just go on and function

I always talked like I had to prove myself
Ended up proving something else
Everybody saw through me
Everybody mocking me

Another half century and I’m still unprepared
Another half century and I cannot get there
Another half century and I’m just as scared
Another half century and I’m still unaware

Don’t know where I’m at until I’m in it
I thought I came out of the other side
Up and down from minute to minute
Then I see that I am still alive

Fool me once shame on you
Fool me twice shame on me
I don’t know how to feel love
I’ve been fooled eternally

The worst days don’t have tomorrows
The worst mistakes are when you’re right
I’ll pick up my brain in my sorrow
And put it in my pocket full of lies
