lyrics

There’s a time to feel blessed and a time to feel numb
But I’m not trying to impress you
when I say I feel something’s wrong.
I toss and turn and I wake in fright
Foolish concerns keep me awake each night
I’d confess but even God can’t see
Half the worries I’m dragging with me

You were saying that worry’s praying for what you don’t want
How can I get it right? I’ve done it all my life
It’s hard to thrive when it’s fear or flight.
I keep saying, I’m not praying but making good on what life’s shown me.
I know it sounds perverse, the darkness gets in first
When we’re sinking and it’s time to leave.

Yes I have a small problem with authority.
But I’ve also stopped hoping that there’s more than what’s in front of me.

Well I’ve pissed them all off again.
I can’t really say that I’ve missed them
when they greet me like a blow torch flame.
That’s how I know I was right to keep myself awake each night
I know there’s more sometimes it’s hard to see
Past these failing I’m dragging with me.

You keep saying the dark is preying so I can’t get what I want.
Takes all my hope away so I should start to pray
If I’m to get some reward from life.
But I keep saying, it seems we’re praying on things we’re afraid to do.
I shouldn’t be surprised there’s no more alibis
Fears come knocking and it’s time to move.

Shunning fashion and genre, master tunesmith, t.k. bollinger's songs are relatable because they examine what each of us confront in our day-to-day existence. Expressed with both sympathy and eloquence, his songs are celebrations of the joys and trials that life presents to each of us regardless of who or what we are – the universal ordinary concerns of a diverse and disparate humanity. ... more
