lyrics

Harsh Realization

It’s a harsh realization to come to
I stayed too long
My eyes were shut so tight
I let myself go

All of a sudden, I was shooting down the rapids
I didn’t notice when or how it happened

I am glassy eyed in the front seat
Watch the tail lights disappear
There’s no resolution in a decision
Just the paralyzing fear

Of the pain that I will cause others
And the truths that have been uncovered

Break the silence
I wanted something different
It was time to name it
Make the move to change it

To survive
To stay alive
To survive
To stay alive

I could listen to the guitar riffs from "in Love..." all day. This is a fitting swan song for an criminally overlooked KC band. I dare say they're Sleater-Kinney without the jagged edges. I'm so proud of what these three ladies will become. 78spinner

This is the goods. Often, new music takes several listens to appreciate, but this hits home right out of the gate. Pat Taylor
