about
A clean re-imagining of the title track of my full-length. I did not have a lot of access to gear to do this. Guitars were recorded direct-line. Vocals were recorded through a cheap computer mic.
lyrics
Well the light starts to blend from a static sun
as uncertainty looms.
The minutes defined in dollar signs,
squandered in this waiting room.
I tap my feet, clenching teeth,
begging for a call.
to validate the choices I made
before I knew myself at all.
I sweat these nights away anxious
The raw, piercing rays of dawn
Taunt me out of slumber
To a tedium reprised
I was the one who had it all mapped it out
Drawn from callouses years before
Now I pace this vacant space
Vainly searching for the door
I can’t bear dwelling on how I’ve failed you
Humbled by circumstance
Of false, hollow promises
That I would ever be given a chance
I sweat these nights away anxious
As I analyze each waking hour
To justify my every choice
Against the parallel life I thought I’d have
I’ll just keep burying my head
As friends all pass by
In polished shoes and straightened ties
While I yearn for what cannot be mine
Because of things that I could never do
That frame collecting dust
An enduring reminder of
The opportunities that I’ve lost
As I rot, loitering
