about

A song about pandemic life.

lyrics

Man….
I wonder how it’s gonna work out,
Flocking together inside of this birdhouse,
I couldn’t tell you how it turns out,
When I see all-of-my-people 'bout to burn out,
…Different elemental thoughts building in my chest,
I built a foundation - without the time to rest,
Some would say I’m blessed - but I disagree,
I made mistakes with everything I didn’t see,
And now I look above to find what I’ve lost,
Find who I am… then die for the cause,
Someone told me I was climbing to God,
So I learned to have faith while assigned to the Job…

Chorus:

I let it take me...
Let it break me…. until eventually I break free….

Break me open, pain inside,
Take my ego, take my pride…..

I let it take me….
I let it break me…

Man,
I wonder how it’s gonna work out,
I been looking at the music that I turned out…
Building a crowd - I never really learned how,
So now I’m left living inside of this birdhouse,
...Different elementals building in my chest,
and I did it all… without the time to rest….
Looking back I woulda given more and taken less,
And if you really need to find me it’s the same address,
I placed my bets on those that I connected with…
Took the connection with new hopes to let it live…
But if one day it washes to clay…
I can just let it go - and let it all fall away…
