Song To Long

Song To Long 03:16
I've been trying everyday to say, I'm not a thief a liar or a sin to slave But upon each morning when I wake I decide it's worth just one more shot I'll shake myself into a shock. I'll make all efforts that I can just to be brave With all these lonely songs I sing. As much a mystery to you as they are to me No matter how I can't compete. I'll never compare with anyone but me Dissatisfied with how I used to be. Unhappy with the place I am heading But I won't stop I'll just keep running to be free Stop eating from my table. Stop your saying of grace You never were invited. It's not your place, it's not yours You give and give force feeding your words like helium So much I'm dizzy and confused Your kindness is misleading autonomy won't come It's patronizing and effused I've been trying everyday to say, I'm not taking when I give myself away

about

I recorded this song in 2007 with Ian Aiello and then, never released it.

When I reconnected with Ian Aiello in the last year or two and we talked about working on music together I thought it might be fun to re-record the song we never released and see how it came together on a second go.

Here it is.
