lyrics

Every day I gain I lose a year again
Over and over, it’s coming out of nowhere
And so where can I take myself to breathe again
Show after show, and I’m starting to know there’s no
End
“Move out and into a band, play on
A San Diego game show and be happy
Be happy you’ve gone and made money
The one thing you held was a lie
You’ve left the ground miles into running
No wonder you can’t seem to fly”
But still, hell, I can try, can’t I?

I could always use trees, not to sit or
To read but to breathe, breathe again
And now with every chance, answer’s probably
I would if I could go, I should go, but no, not today, no
End

“Move both of your legs, be ready
Instead of being lost, you can
Be happy you’ve lived up to now, I mean
Do you know just how lucky you are?”
I’m a battery low on my power
In a brand new electric car
But I’ve come this far, so far

Every step I make I have another mistake to make
Over and over, it’s all I seem to offer
Coffee never found a place in my everyday
But I’ll fake it if I end with something to show for
All those times I composed myself, just to
Grow or grow up or something people do these days

Does happiness fit in your wallet?
Or under your pillow at night?
You can’t download and install it
I’ll settle for feeling alright
“Be happy you’ve lived up to now, no really
Do you know just how lucky you are?”
I live on a slow dying planet
That circles a slow dying star
The end

"O Memorie is at times dark and haunting as it is bright and up-lifting. The songs are thought provoking and powerful. One need not wait until the dead of night to listen to them, as they sound just as good on an overcast afternoon." Divide & Conquer Music ... more
