Happy Just To Be Here (EP)

I love you and I'm sorry this time Your wide eyes keep me in line I love you and I'm sorry this time Let it be the last I fall out of line I could have done something much worse Be thankful the ground could catch my fall I love you and I'm sorry this time Your wide eyes keep me in line I love you and I'm sorry this time I need you to still be mine I always lose my grip so quickly The night descends to me intently I love you and I'm sorry this time Your wide eyes keep me in line I love you and I'm sorry this time I need you to still be mine

Watching them move the body over Watching them kick and run Listening to Crimson and Clover You didn't have a gun It's in the silence Silence, here It's in the silence, now Slack-jawed, I opened up to speak But I couldn't make a sound You were crying out for your mother But she was nowhere to be found Freeze frame The picture shifts from focus Blacking out all the light Catching a glimpse of shock and horror There was nothing left in the fight It's in the silence Silence, here It's in the silence, now You'd walk a path like mine You'd seem to have the time Carrying a cross beneath the pictures in your mind Now they're gone Now they're gone Watching them step down from their rank Nothing much left to say So we go about our lives Another empty day It's in the silence Silence, here It's in the silence, now

about

Sometimes just being 'here' is enough.

I stopped watching the news for awhile but then started feeling disconnected from what was going on when others would bring certain stories up. Turning it back on released a deluge. These songs represent ideas and people that aren't here any more to tell their stories.
