about

Recorded during a live show in Tel Aviv. I always get my own lyrics wrong, and I never sing things the same. Anyway, this is my old screaming phase. I used to shout almost every song. This era is gone. I tend to whisper and talk a lot this days. But here's to gone, shouty times. I'm glad they're over, but I love this song. Deeply. Lyrics are still dear to me.

lyrics

And if we talked about it, would it get any better?
Can tomorrow really bring a better light?
If yesterday was really such a good place,
perhaps today’s tomorrow’s good old times?

I don’t care what your friend says about another empty glass of wine of mine,
I only want to be the best and fullest me every fucking second of this life.

And if your baby left you, what’s the use of falling down,
unless the falling takes you to some higher grounds?
There ain’t a thing to bring you down, faster than your own made up misery.
Why don’t you take that little heart of your and set the little muscle free.

I don’t care if she’s been the only one you ever wanted.
YOU are the only one you’re ever gonna fucking be.

So you better love yourself, like no babe could ever love.
You better touch yourself, like no church could ever let aloud ( let be allowed).
See, I’m no saint, I wouldn’t know the muse of any winged tale, no holy grail.
But I can see the aching souls are jamming through the darkest wail.

You better know yourself, and get yourself out bright and loud.
And let this world see something of that absolutely URGENT light you hide.
