about

This song was written in Hot Springs, MT, where I moved during the 2020 summer of Covid... I think it was the Covid situation but there was definitely more alcohol in & surrounding my life than normal... not to mention tumultuous thoughts and other things, in just the right combination to write a song about!

lyrics

When did your heart slip through the cracks
must have fell out
a while back
did it bounce, did it shatter?
Did you notice did it matter
now you're freer
conscious cleaner
without motion
your emotion

Drowning drinking, too much thinking
Can cloud the mind

Don't walk away, run
escape at all costs
you think oblivion is freedom but its yourself you've lost
if you notice you don't care
your eyes are open but no one's in there
too much thinking,
drugs and drinking
can cloud the mind


So grab up your heart
take it back
you have always been right on track
that's just a brittle crust
there's part of you that doesn't rust
but too much drinking
drugs and thinking
never cleared the mind

Whichever way you run
Escape's the highest cost
you think oblivion is freedom
but its yourself you've lost
if you notice you don't care
your eyes are open
but your soul's not there
too much thinking
drugs and drinking
never cleared the mind
