Story behind the song
Song from a darker period during the writing of the album... the album is a slice of life so it wasn't always picnics and parades... :-)
Lyrics
I’m down today And it would be so easy to say I don’t know why But I do And it would be so easy to just blindly deny Maybe it’s that I’m tired Maybe it’s that I’m under the weather Maybe it’s because I’m trying so hard to hold it all together Maybe it’s because I never feel like I have any control Maybe it’s that I’ve buried my soul Under a blanket of bitterness A thousand piece puzzle missing a hundred pieces And it should be so obvious where I left them And yet they hang out there hidden in plain sight As my unwillingness to face what I see bends the light I’m down today And it would be so easy not to look in the mirror for reasons But I will And it would be so easy to see the worst in me Am I a good person? Am I being unfair? Or am I just punishing myself for years of inaction in any direction? Is there something I’m supposed to find? Because I’m searching so damn hard but feel blind Why the regret? Why the bitterness? My mind knows this is wasted energy but my heart goes its own way Is my anger and resentment really pointed outward Or is all this emotion my unwillingness to forgive myself? I’m down today And it’s because I see that I have to shed the veil of denial So I will And try to make sense of the emotions bubbling out of me
