about

I had almost this entire song written a few years back for a split with my friend Rozco from the band Worship This. I shelved it for a few years, but today I decided to edit it and re-tool the chords and lyrics a bit.

lyrics

Heart rate is increasing. Shaking hands and shallow breathing. Flashing forward to a world to which I swore I'd not return. The wrinkles on my hands are signs of age beginning to show and I wonder how much weight these bones can take. I am so stuck in my ways.

I am like a river. I cannot just change direction. I will carry my convictions downstream and out to sea.

The temperature is dropping and I run for fear of stopping, and they say things go in cycles so I yearn to deviate. I could use some outside insight. Someone new to take up my time. But it's weighing on my my mind and I can barely concentrate. I am so stuck in my ways.

Settle my stomach. Wipe the sweat from my palms. You can feel anything that you want to. Dust off these old bones. Put muscles to use. You're only stagnant when you believe you can't move.
