lyrics

Every morning rise I pry open my eyes
Staring at that stupid pillow I sleep beside
Sitting comfy on that cushion is a slice of humble pie
Tasted right the first time now it’s rotting my insides

Still eat it every day ritually
Cuz that guttural pain gives me the right to complain
Everybody bears a burden with a capital “Be”
I’m learning that my burden is I’ve got to Be me!

Chorus:
God didn’t bless me with any demons
I had to invent them on my own
I suppose it helps some I don’t
Believe in him
So I'll take the credit for how they’ve grown

It’s kind of funny how much I’ve got to say
About how little I’ve done
Never did anybody wrong
But all I’ve done right hasn’t met expectations
Complicit and complacence is the same damn thing
Seems I’m the guys whose been left to do everything
That I need to, but I got no follow through
Too busy listening for the drop of the other shoe

Chorus

So, how does it feel to be always moving forwards?
To feel a little acceptance with every failure since your birth?
To rise above the worst of you just by making a decision?
To have your free will stifled by an embarrassment of worth?

Do I Give up or do I give in?
You see the problem is that “give” is the word in both options
Gotta keep it to myself, so I can feed those little demons
Asking me to starve them out, you’re asking me to unleash them

I think instead I’ll crawl back in bed
Stare at that stupid pillow with this guilt that I’ve pled
Think I’m projecting a bit, if you only knew
If pride is a sin then I’m just too proud of all of you

Chorus

about

Revered image

Revered Vancouver, British Columbia

"Revered" is composer/front-man, Emmett Hall's musical experiment into pseudo-new wave/prog-rock cathartic nonsense.
Best described as an entertaining self-cleansing though acerbic revelry and bathos.
Much of which is in collaboration with producer, Pietro Sammarco. ... more
