From the recording Then I Step On Back

Lyrics

It is so absurd
I cannot say quite why
sometimes it seems a curse
sometimes it makes me cry
then I step on back
hope that I don’t crack
then I step ahead
breathing hard feeling dread

these things make no sense
unless I’m hearing lies
it’s all false pretense
shadows fill the sky

then I step on back
then I step ahead
then I see what we lack
then I see all the dead
then I have my remorse
then I feel all the guilt
then I see the bloody course
then I lose the will..........

something’s not quite right
like a wire shorting out
like a dimming of the light
like a choked and silent shout
