lyrics

Dizzy spells and butterflies, I’m trying make my blurry eyes focus
Hanging on the Ferris wheel, tasting the bile in my mouth
Back on the ground again, tending the cuts and the bruises
'Til it’s time to get going again

I remember a time I was running around
Figuring out what I wanted
Sometimes I don't understand what I’ve found
Still wandering aimlessly
Tell me why
Tell me why
I'm fluttering

Throw away your bigotry, 'cause life is still a mystery, face it
Nothing really adds up when you think you've got it all figured out
Breaking those habits is going to get harder and harder
Until one day you're stuck anyway

So remember the time you were running around
Figuring out what you wanted
Take a step back and decide what you lack
Or maybe you still don't know
But you try
Yeah, you try

Maybe it's no use to look for an answer
Maybe we're rats in a maze after all
Sometimes I feel like we don't have a future
I fear that we'll always mess it up

The sun’s getting warmer, and springtime's defying my gloom now
You put on an easy smile, and suddenly it all feels so right
The world is still burning, and we’re always learning the hard way
But it's Friday and I'm still alive

And it's been quite a while since I last saw that smile
I hope there are reasons to use it
Shake off your worries and clear up your mind
There is only here and now
You and I
You and I
Still fluttering

Unending
by Cloudkicker

I've been following Cloudkicker for years, and this is another brilliant recording of dreamy, multilayered guitar instrumentals that really inspire me. Highly recommended! Autosonic

Solitude
by Cloudkicker

Cloudkicker returns with his heaviest, riffiest album so far. Intense and dark, like his 2010 album Beacons. But with superior sound and fresh ideas. Inspiring! Autosonic

Safer Off
