about

I worry constantly about all the things I want to do in my life, and how there never seems to be enough time to do it all. This song is a reminder for me to count myself lucky for my amazing family, friends and job.

lyrics

I'm a lucky man
I come from generations of hard working hands
Now I know sometimes
The blood off your hands shoots into your eyes

I miss the liquid glass, the northern lake shows to me.
There's reflections that no-one wants to see

There are people
Who are living every day to forget all the pain
They chase up mountains
with thirst for love, but they're lost in their booze

Self-portraits define
Distain you see in a heart breaker's eyes

It ain't bliss
A consistent state of burnout where nothing knocks you down
That's for honesty
You don't gotta' wish for better, work with what you've got

You keep your love for your family inside
It's what you've got when your dreams fall aside
