about

[This track was written for my last album, The Missive, but the arrangement needed more time to get its legs. Features my dad Johnny Hackney on guitars and Jesse Iaquinto (mandolin) from Carson's band Fireside Collective. Check them out.]

lyrics

We're made to brave the rain
and weather all this pain
Til I no longer...
Til we no longer accept this fate

Don't pine for what might have been
The way that it was was never saved because
No argument I can't win
Shift the blame, it's the same as it always was

Hanging on the ropes
Harvest all my hopes
Til I grow stronger...
Til we grow stronger and lift this weight

Don't pine for what might have been
The way that it was was never saved because
No argument I can't win
Shift the blame, it's the same as it always was

Memories are just like dreams
Nothing's quite the way it seems
You take them in, they're all right there
and then they vanish in the air
In the air...
