Drowning – Sunset Sky

Drowning sat in limbo for quite a while. Didn’t know what to do with it. When lyrics came, i just couldn’t finish it. It felt dark. Real, but dark.

It’s an interesting place to be as someone who doesn’t make music for a living. Artists are expected to share emotions as raw as possible. Many do not have to consider how work acquaintances might view it. I’m constantly torn between my professional life and creating music. What can I say. I think about it and really wish I didn’t.

I’v had instances where folks assumed I was writing about them specifically. That’s never the case. Although artists all know we base our art on observations, it’s usually a composite of a lot of different feelings, events, visuals, etc., not just one thing. If that makes sense, great. You are an artist.

I hope you enjoy Drowning. I had a hard time making it, and again, if you are having a hard time right now, best to leave it alone.

Drowning Lyrics

edging towards the water

step by step begin to see

undercurrent always beckoning

does it never seem to leave

bleak secrets of night whisper

fill your pockets full of sand

as you feel cold arms around you

as the darkness holds your hand

oh god im drowning 

oh god i’m hurting

so numb and hear the calling

been fighting demons for so long

there’s nothing here but desperation

why does sinking not feel wrong

oh god im drowning 

oh god i’m hurting

do you hear the calling

from sea to darkened sea

does anything really matter

does it matter at all to me

wait

what about the times we’ve had

what about the things we’ve shared

summer nights in our backyard

how in hell we got to here

oh the things that you have seen 

wont you share them all with me

running desert skies in sun

that’s another day to see

Also listen to Thank You and The Road
