Description: It started out as a regular singer/songwriter thing, with a lot more acoustic feel to it, but as I started adding things, I realized it was turning into a nightmare/feverish thing...and I went with it, building it into a real dark creation...the horns all being slightly out of tune was the perfect element for that.

It started out as a regular singer/songwriter thing, with a lot more acoustic feel to it, but as I started adding things, I realized it was turning into a nightmare/feverish thing...and I went with it, building it into a real dark creation...the horns all being slightly out of tune was the perfect element for that.

lyrics

Sometimes early in the morning when everyone’s asleep, I like to go out walking, it feels like I can breath
Before the city wakes up, there’s magic in the air,
I’ve got the streets all to myself,
it helps me to see things clearly

Sometimes when I wake up, I wish I never had
my heart beats like a hammer,
I feel like I’ve been trapped,
I feel I’m getting angrier,
I feel as if I drown
I feel I must do something before I’m overrun
with this growing darkness, I can’t get no relief,

And the floodgates burst
spiritual thirst
its started fading some
and you’re still the only one

I zone out, looking at that picture
hanging on the wall
a landscape I once knew so well,
it’s pierced into my soul
it left me thinking maybe
there is something else
something dwarfing all of this,
far beyond heaven or hell...

I’m playing hide and seek with my memories
lurking in the dark
I don’t how to end it,
I don’t know where to start

I’m a rusty nail in an open wound
You’re a sparkling star,
I’m the darkest dark
