about
23 was a bright year. A year of growth, a flood of words, a non stop flow of visceral cinematic images in a life played out under a golden dawn of quickening, and apocalypse within. These songs sprung forth that year, or are of character that left indelible marks on me that year, and I, them. Slainte.
lyrics
Away From Yesterday
what are we all doing in this sad brown world
its all a bit gray, like the sky on a cloudy day
my friends that seems that’s all there is sometimes
a bit of the sadness, a bit of the better way
head strong and surefire boy, don’t hesitate too long
desire goes hand in hand with fate
and carries you away from yesterday
carrying on through the hard times just like a child in the rain,
the day out and day in, your playing with safety and sin
and there are times your mind is just careless misery, you dance with it dizzily
and its no stranger to me, no stranger to me
you say that you’ll shoot down your troubles
maybe tomorrow, maybe today
whether or not you do it doesn’t matter
tomorrow, she’s coming anyway
there is a lesson in every tear and every try,
every sunrise, and every star in the sky
if you see it, it could get better, it could go bad
be sure to let go, that’s all I know that’s all I know
