lyrics
I thought I lost my voice
I just couldn't hear it through the pounding in my brain
that came too consistent to calibrate the pain
the world can stop on a dime, that's fine,
but the people go on anyway
and they pray to the god of all good intentions
but my goodness that got in the way
I wish I would have known
that you can work so hard and no one will see
and that will play fast and loose with who you wanted to be
The world can stop on a dime, that's fine,
but the people still have needs
and they put their full faith in those faithless forefathers
like some self-fulfilled prophecy
and all the old wounds that you thought were mortal
now only seem skin deep
there's trauma I'll have to let go of
and then there's the trauma I'll keep
and cradle it close like a lover
while I try to sleep

Micah is one of my favorite songwriters around, and also an all around gentleman and scholar. Both his solo work and his work with Two Cow Garage seem to work their way into my regular music rotation with ease. doug shaw
