From the recording Learn To Live Again
The weeks and months since the arrival of the change rolled by, and I slowly settled into a monotonous routine that began every day with a walk to my local coffee stand. The days seemed empty and endless, with everyone following a single goal; get through the day, and hope for a better tomorrow…
Lyrics
Spent so long in waiting for the moment to arrive
Though I’d set my destination
Thought the fear had passed me by….
When you’re so close to a breakthrough
But you’re broken up inside
Life is still, but still in motion
Silent chaos fills the tide
So concerned with past and future
‘cause the present feels too slow
Keep on hoping for an answer
Se we can get on with the show
In a shadow of the world we used to know
I don’t need a fix-up to get me through each day
But I feel like we’re all stuck at 5AM
What we had is all but gone, but still we carry on
Won’t somebody tell me how long
‘till we learn to live again?
The information never changes
So I carry on each day
Hoping maybe I’ll recover
And I can go back on display
But when I try to make it simple
I’m confounded every time
It’s far too much for me to handle
One too many hills to climb
So I’ll stay here on the ground in my own mind
