lyrics

Culled from another design,
it's behind you, lost in the valley.
I don't want to be cool just to look like I'm right,
but there's a lot we can do together
if we feel.

Forced from another deep wound,
it's a side you try to keep hidden.
I don't want to live life before anesthetic,
but there's a lot we can do together
if we feel.

Folding back in on yourself,
you've resigned not to tug at the stitches.
I don't want to live life before anesthetic,
but there's a lot we can do together
if we feel.

Get On with It

Black Luck is my band. We have three records and our fourth is on its way. It's very different from my solo stuff, but let's be honest. It's also WAY better. John Benda
