lyrics

I made a line graph of the last 5 years, high was good, low would represent loss
But I ran out of paper, the pen hit the table, going vertically down not across
I aint no joker, not a face made for poker
Can't force myself to not give a toss
But I know, that I'm gonna have to learn to let go

I was stuck in a rut, thankfully there's a but, there were still signs of life to me yet
So I jumped like a rabbit from a hat of bad habits, to this day it's a promise I kept
Still I thought I'd wake up, be completely unstuck
Instead I'm bogged down in all this regret
I move too slow, and I'm gonna have to learn to let go

It was all crystal clear from the view in the mirror that sometimes even good looks deceive
I needed to thaw, so I had to withdraw, from the ugly & everyday freeze
The shadows my friend, gonna use it to mend
Come back at a million degrees
I swear to god I'm gonna glow, but I'm gonna have to learn to let go

So suddenly I testify to the committee of lost years
Reliving every train wreck, broken friendships, endless tears

The stadium's packed, all the odds they are stacked, the bets say my chances are slim
But I'm gonna fight, use all of my might, so don't be suprised if I win
My trainer's got ice and a lot of advice, he says
Be a man take this punch on the chin
Just like a pro, I'm just gonna have to learn to let go.

Oh, will I ever be happy? Oh, If I can just hang on
The dreaded lonely nights will be gone

Marq DeSouza Vancouver, British Columbia

-A very personal rock album. He also writes from a very moral perspective, which gives his record a strong POV. These songs are not filled with empty thoughts but actually try to say something. (Vancouver Province)

-Inspiration drips from every distorted and bent guitar note, down-but-not-out vocal phrasing, and sneered lyric. (Georgia Straight) ... more
