about

This song is about the parts of us we loose. For me, that was getting tendonitis and having to put down my guitar. An acoustic amputation, the loss of a limb. Without the guitar there was nowhere for my emotions to go, no outlet for my feelings. A year after putting down my guitar, when I was just about healed, I was encouraged by an audience of new friends and strangers to play some songs on my guitar. I took my place in front of everyone, and my fingers settled into a familiar G. But the next chord never came. I couldn’t remember a single song I’d written. Smiling faces looked up at me, telling me I could do it. But really, I could not. The words were all gone. Finally, I sat back down, startled. 


lyrics

I’m foaming at the mouth to
Play you a song
Homesick for my fretboard
Where I once belonged

Gin to keep my heart warm
To intoxicate
Searching for semantics
While my tonic’s away

Oo I lost myself
Phone keys wallet
Is there anything else?

I’m falling out my pockets
Strewn on the ground
Somewhere there’s a world for
My lost and not found

You ask me to remind you
I already forgot
Shuffled are the details
Mismatched are all the socks

How much does free time cost?

Oo I lost myself
Phone keys wallet
Is there anything else?

Dust on my piano
Graveyard of guitars
Acoustic amputation
Make sense of the scars

An audience before me
The words were all gone
Silent is the singer
Forgotten are the songs

Oo I lost myself
Phone keys wallet
Is there anything else?

Oo I lost myself
Phone keys wallet
Is there anything else?
