lyrics

 

 

1.  take me to the sun

2.  not the one

3.  something has got to you

4.  abundant lack of motivation

5.  vulnerable

5.  gotta give it up

7.  it’s not funny

habit

listen to this song

 

time to start over

the cycle's beginning, beginning again

time to get sober

when will these cycles officially end?

i've fallen back it's no surprise

someday i'll quit i fantasize

and there'll be more

cycles come around i'm sure

this itself has become a vicious habit

 

like the ones i first intended to break

how much power is it going to take?

how much?

i don't know

 

i'm getting older

the time is wasting, wasting away

i shrug my shoulders

no better time to quit than today

i wish i could it's not that easy

my vices love to tempt and tease me

i start and end

my own rules i bend

this itself has become a vicious habit

 

like the ones i first intended to break

how much power is it going to take?

how much?

i don't know

     This was the first song I ever wrote.  It was written back when GRUNGE ruled the airwaves.  Back then, it seemed you weren't cool unless you were strung out.  I think the only thing I was strung out on, at the time, was goofiness.

 

     I was posing.  Little did I know, this scenario would prophetically play itself out over and over again as the soundtrack to my life for the past ten years - with relapses increasing in severity as time wore on.

 

     I may have been posing when I wrote this, but I theorize now it might have been a subconscious cry for help.  I mean, what a topic for my first song!

 

     All is good. Awareness is half the battle. Having ambition helps. So does having family.

9.  lovely lady

10.  can’t go
