I wrote this song a while back. Pretty much about the fears of having to accept the responsibilities of the adult life (mortgage, wife, kids, bills,......),something that I think every working musician struggles balancing. I'm pretty much in a different space now,.. but the song is definitely relevant for another time of my life and with every listen,...brings me back. Ahhh music,... the melodic time machine!!
Every one of my MCS friends came through for me on this one. I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. Thank you sooooo much guys!!

V1
These thoughts mystify me
These days terrify me
Take me back to yesterday
When my legs could run away,
and i know not the strains of responsibility
V2
Take all those who know me
Shake all those who think they know me
Well I have a new confession to make,
do you remember yesterday when i fell from the pain,
and then wallowed in your sympathy
CH
It's just the weight of the world
Verses the fate of the one
V3
Round up all you memories
Hide all of those treasuries
Keep them close for a rainy day
For when your back finally breaks,
let old dreams clean the stains of the sweat,
it flowed so liberally
