about

“Jail my heart, the tune is sprung
from bars and keys ribcage and lungs
Mark my words, the ghosts they come
From vision and dreams, cords amps and hum”

A shout out to musicians everywhere who put Heart & soul into their work. Enjoy loudly.

lyrics

Make no mistake the songs they sung
With hands guitars heart lips and tongues.
At the end of the day it’s greater than the sum
Of strings and picks, throat, fingers and thumbs.
Beneath the skin there’s a light that burns within.

By the skin of my teeth
By the sweat of my brow
At the end of the day
All there is, is now.
When the blood starts to boil
When the teeth grow long
Who shivers in the bones
Will sing this song.

Beneath the skin there’s a light that burns

Jail my heart the tune is sprung
from bars and keys ribcage and lungs.
Mark my words the ghosts they come
From vision and dreams, cords amps and hum.

Beneath the skin there’s a light that burns within.

When the past catches up
And the future looks thin
The Wolf at the door saying let me come in
There’s a wolf at the door and he wants to come in
Not by the hair of my chinny chin, chin.

Beneath the skin there’s a light that burns.

Truth be told the end has come
With famines and plagues, fire, wars and guns
End of the days who’ll be ones
With nerves, backbone, voice song & drum

Beneath the skin there’s a light that burns,
Beneath the skin there’s a light that burns within
