about

This opening track to the album is sort of where I feel I am now in my life. I'm pushing 40 and dissatisfied with how little my artistic output seems to matter to everyone other than myself. But, I'm also painfully aware of this shortcoming. I'm just flying blind, taking each day as they come. I don't know if I'm scared of something, or if I'm being sarcastic. "Am I frightened?" I don't know. I don't think so. I certainly don't appear to be. I may be flying blind with my life, but guess what... so is everyone else, whether they know it or not...

lyrics

Lighting a fuse to come alive
Fighting a truce to hide that knife

Of course the world would shrug it off
Of course I claim to be alive

Hidden connections behind the lies
Is ressurection behind my eyes

Of course the world is going blind
Of course I claim not to mind

Tears on that window
Torn down that wall
Am I frightened

Caught on quick and braced myself
Feeling sick of that sense of self

Of course the world takes it's time
Of course I'm still flying blind

Tears on that window
Torn down that wall
Am I frightened

Am I too far away
To really feel awake
Awake

Of course the world takes it's time
Of course we're all still flying blind
