lyrics

putting on a show for no one
hoping I can crawl into someone new
and break on through
cuz I've been such a fool to doubt it
I couldn't even live without it
playing the fool
like I got something to prove
sometimes I look deep inside myself and
I understand the man that I am
but to tell you the truth
don't know what to do
but get close to you
it's the least I can do
how do we break the habit
I can't do this by myself
I can't do this alone

Oh how I long for this album in vinyl format! Such smoothness. Such warmth. Such execution. This music begs to be taken along and woven into memories. Everyone I’ve shared this album with has loved it. The music speaks far and wide. Shouting out to a fellow follower, Brian Lehmann, for his excellent taste in music. If not for him, I likely would have never stumbled upon this absolute gem! Plinchmo Larduktin
