"Desperate Times" - Video Premiere Party

Sat Feb 25th 2023 The Cellar on Treadwell
295 Treadwell Street / Hamden, CT
Shadows creeping… across the room.
Like a fire that is trying to burn me down.
All of a sudden swallowed up by the moon,
and I don’t know if I can be saved by the sound.

(Chorus)
And When I go eyes closed, and pain numb
No longer apt to make the climb
I know we are in desperate times
And when I won’t just call, or stand tall
You know this ain’t all about you.
I know we are in desperate times

I don’t remember… a better time.
Just easier to ignore in my youth.
Phone rings… Everyone is calling me now.
Swallowed whole by the unbearable truth.

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
I can’t explain it all to you...
When I can’t understand my own thoughts
Never felt good enough,
Never tell me to be tough – You are not helping at all.
In struggle there is no compromise,
And it wouldn’t be wise to tell me that I need to wake up.
because I’m already gone.
I’m already gone

(Solo)

(Repeat Chorus)
