about

This song worked better than I thought it would, although it was probably a bit too ambitious for my recording facilities/capabilities. It's influenced musically (and perhaps thematically) by Elliott Smith whom I was listening to all the time at this point.

lyrics

A sunny day comes undone
As the rain falls down and drenches everyone
Oh no it seems I’ve got a little hole right here in my soul
I feel it leaking and the rain is getting in
Oh my I wring my hands and then I throw my prayers at the sky
But is there anybody out there listening

I’m sick and tired of all the good things that I waste
I’m sick and tired of all the pain that I create
I’m sick and tired of all the troubles that I just can’t shake
You’ve heard it all before but are you listening

I’m sick and tired of all the promises I break
I’m sick and tired of all the money that I make
I’m sick and tired of all the numbers that just don’t equate
You’ve heard it all before but are you listening

A little cloud before the sun
But like a shroud the darkness covers everyone
Oh no it seems I still got very many miles to go
But where I’m heading is a mystery to me
Oh my I wring my hands and then I set my eyes to the sky
But superstition only keeps you on your knees

I’m sick and tired of all the good things that I waste
I’m sick and tired of all the pain that I create
I’m sick and tired of all the troubles that I just can’t shake
You’ve heard it all before but are you listening

I’m sick and tired of all the promises I break
I’m sick and tired of all the money that I make
I’m sick and tired of all the people who turn out as fake
You’ve heard it all before but are you listening

O Lord can I make it without you?
O Lord I can’t get by without you
O Lord can I get by without you?
O Lord no
