Let Go

The last time I saw him
He looked like a ghost
With his silver chain
And his ragged clothes
He gave me the advice
To let go
A pauper
Can feel like a king
If he just decides
To let go of everything
Maybe I
Should let go
Let go of vanity, pride, and shame
Let go of love's eternal pain
Let go of my tainted name
Let go

I lived in South Dakota for a while
Don't ask me why
I walked the empty streets
Of a lovely small town
Everyone I met
Smiled and said hello
They seemed to know something
That I would want to know
I loved to watch the locals
That came to my favorite bar
With their hats and boots, and caps and guns
And big cars
And all the lovely people
That invited me to their homes
On all of those drunken nights
That seem so long ago
I never cried, I only smiled
I never cried when I lived there
I just smiled, and smiled some more
And then I smiled again
I never cried, I only smiled
I just smiled and smiled again
But I don't think I ever smiled enough
To truly be one of them

3 AM is here again
With tranquility for some
But for others like me
The battle has just begun
I kept my memories in a bag
And threw them overboard
And when the rats left the ship
I locked the door
It had to come to and end
That verdict stood the test of time
I said it as I laid down the reins
One cold and bitter night
There had been a mood of apprehension
Sorrow looming overhead
When I look at what I have
There's really not much left
Everything is coming up roses, can't you tell?

Electricity

Inside these walls
Time is piling up
I know that time
Will be the death of me
It will rob me of everything
That it once gave to me
If I loose my creativity
I'll be without electricity
The world outside is a mystery to me
I'm alive, but I don't know who I'm supposed to be
My soul is bold and free
Free from negativity
On a good day I feel
Like I'm charged with electricity
Where I belong
I can't tell
I wish that I knew
I wish that I was a little less blue

They woke you up and dragged you out
Read a statement and shot you down
Your diamonds protected you at first
You never knew a normal life
You dreamed about soldiers at night
Your mother always wanted to be alone
Anastasia, I hear you
To be so well protected
Yet so utterly helpless
When all is said and done
To be worshipped by millions
Yet so unimportant
Your brother was always the one
Anastasia, I hear you

Tim Mattsing recommends:
What makes this album so good is that it's obviously a labor of love. Every note and every second is perfect in every way. The theme, the style, the musicianship, every detail is in the right place.
