Echoes of Another Day

Liner Notes

I watched the Trey Anastasio youtube video on songwriting and it inspired me in a few new ways - mainly, "The song will tell you what it's about, if you let it." I went with that approach when trying to develop the lyrical ideas for this one. Certainly not polished but my goal this month is get songs out, don't polish.

Lyrics

Heavy eyes
Look ahead to what comes next
Never where we’ve been

And there’s time
Fix it up and be complete
Or let it bury me

Echoes of another day
but it’s not the same
It’s not the same

Phantom hands
That gave to me
Now they take from me
and pull away

What goes down
Finds its way back up
Have to get unstuck

But I’ve got this
I’ll figure it all out
Or maybe scream and shout

And I know it’s there
And I’ll Act again
Like I’ve got a plan
I’ve got a plan

But I can’t pretend
I can’t pretend
Care has a weight
Apathy can’t lift

Wring me out
Don’t hang me up to dry
Saying “It’s all fine”

Shoe lace knot
Masquerade as tragedy
Guess I’ll bend a knee

And I’ll climb this hill
Made out of sand
Get on up and do it again

If I find
I did it wrong
Bear that thought until it’s raw

So it goes
It’s just a phase
An echo of another day
