about

This is a new track from my upcoming album, Fathers and Sons, which is due out near the end of August 2015

lyrics

I waste so much time, for reasons I can't find, I am a slave to all, distractions big and small
And if you ask me to, I'll give you the whole truth, but I think that's more than your ears are used to
So let's, hit the road, and find, our new home, let something grow
Some place that is warm...
If an excuse is what you need, you're lucky to know me, if you seek a pointless lie, I'll be at your side
If you're running in a race for rats, I'll be at your back, watchin' out for all the others who would go and
Try to, take you outa' the, place you, belong to the, place you've, always been drawn to
Some place that's dry...
'Cause I'm tired of turnin' dollars into dimes, and I miss having what you call spare time
I'm waitin' for somethin' to finally give, 'cause I doubt that I can maintain this sprint...
You're always at your wits' end, even when the day begins
Doin' more than your share, but I don't seem to care
Leadin' the thankless life, it's too big a bite, but still I ask for more, while you're on the verge of
Cryin', you need me to, buy in, not just go through, motions, waitin' 'till you do
What we both, know needs to be done...
'Cause I'm tired of turnin' dollars into dimes, and I miss having what you call spare time
I'm waitin' for somethin' to finally give, 'cause I doubt that I can maintain this sprint...
