about

From the upcoming album 'No Excuses' (out May 27 2020)

lyrics

Down the path of illusion
Some are easily led
Looking for absolution
There the procession do tread

If you never let go, you'll never live and let live
Apropos of nothing everything is within
You can eat your own heart out, just ask yourself why you hold it up so high.

It's blinding me
All these tunnel visionaries
And this canary's got to catch a flight
The seatbelt sign is on and it's a little late in the day to start seeing the light.

On the road to ruin
The way is paved in gold
All the people you're fooling
Won't save your soul

If you never let go, you'll never live and let live
Apropos of nothing everything is within
You can eat your own heart out, just ask yourself why you hold it up so high.

It's blinding me
All these tunnel visionaries
And this canary's got to catch a flight
The seatbelt sign is on and it's a little late in the day to start seeing the light.
It's a little late in the day to start wondering why
It's a little late in the day
It's a little late to say goodbye
