lyrics

It started simple.
We all waited our turn.
As the night grinds out a bevel,
the lines begin to blur.

Take the microphone.
Read the words.
Take a taxi home.
Sleep steady and sure.

It wasn’t always like this.
It wasn’t always fun.
But the ones I love the most,
when I tarry push me on.

We left the engine running
while we talked about the bands we loved,
and what we miss the most
in those that make themselves heard.

The history of the culture wars,
the hidden meaning of a word.
How we take care of ourselves
and try to understand the world.

It wasn’t always like this.
It wasn’t always fun.
But the ones I love the most,when I tarry push me on.

I am happier now with the things that I have.
I am aware of my privilege.
I won’t be the spoiled child.
I will do what I can with these hands.

The ones I love most, when I tarry, push me on.

In a bin, I found the record
that I had mentioned.
Took it home, dropped the needle and sung along.

Such a great album and band...it was worth the wait. I spin this LP for anyone who comes by...my neighbor walking her dog, the mail lady, that poor door dash person who spends more time here than anyone who lives here...even sneak in a track or two at school for my students! Keep it up, guys...and everyone else, but something from these guys! gaslightgod
