Got into a bluesy space for this. I fell into a bit of a country drawl by the time I hit the chorus. I had fun playing with the theme, separating the 3 words out to give them each their own moment.
lyrics
IF What you can’t have is all that you see Sounds like a sad sad recipe
If every thing feels so out of reach -What’s left to hold you at night?
I’m a believer in pulling apart
The things that feel good from things that are dark
It’s a decision not a religion
It’s inside of me.
The zen of dirty is not about clean
It’s about finding the comfort that hides in between
It’s not about pointing when somebody lies
But putting a mirror up in front of their eyes
If some body cheats it’s not about laws
It’s giving them something beyond their own cause
And don’t go screaming when somebody steals
Just bring them on back to how love feels
Can count on one hand the things that are real
The moments we have the moments we feel
In the end that’s all that’s true
Take it to heart take it to bed
Empty your troubles empty your head
Give yourself a break
