Finally Awake

Liner Notes

The second of the two songs I did today with my friend Erin Hill. This one was really fun to write! I love seeing how close I can rub up against the country genre as a humble singer-songwriter.
Lyrics
I’m used to scraps and the skin of my teeth
And keeping secrets to keep the peace
I’m a traitor to my own heart and loyal to sword
But not no more
Not no more
Looking back, it’s all smoke and mirrors
Automoton of my mistakes
I’m not going that way
Eruption’s over and the sky is clearer
Start again, the fever breaks
Feels like I am finally awake
I’m repossessing the battle in my mind
Face to face, let’s elevate, I’m dying for a compromise
This precious collection of every losing score
But not no more
Not no more
Looking back, it’s all smoke and mirrors
Razor thin, the ice we skate
Unless we can collaborate
Staring boldly in the eyes of fear
Start again, the fever breaks
Feels like I am finally
Awake
I feel that foundation
Shake
Pay attention to me, just watch what I make
Looking back, it’s all smoke and mirrors
Deep breath in, my lungs inflate
My confidence, the higher stakes
A whisper to a roar that everybody hears
Start again, the fever breaks
Feels like I am finally
Feels like I am finally
Feels like I am finally awake
