lyrics

You don’t look so good now that we’re back in the light
You came crawling back to me just like I thought you might
I can see through you
I thought I knew you
The windows of my brain are locked
Air tight
And your smokescreen in rising
Just like the sun

Everything forgotten from our stolen youth
All the conviction I make for which I have no proof
I’m just a poser
A poser
Watch for mislaid poison falling from the holes in my roof
And your smokescreen in rising
Just like the sun

You’ve got a beauty that I can’t even think to touch
I’d go ahead and write you off if I didn’t want you so much
You’re an anvil
You’re heavy as hell
You’ve used me before
Go ahead I’m already your crutch
And your smokescreen in rising
Just like the sun

I’m pouring waiting hoping that something comes out
I’m ready to rip my head off grab a nail gun and shout
You’re my lifeblood
Shake me in two
Sitting here and wondering what this world’s all about
And your smokescreen in rising
Just like the sun
Another day beginning
Another day done
I’m thinking of you but I know
I’m not the only one

about

Joe Dickinson Chicago, Illinois

Hi, I’m Joe Dickinson.

I'm a DIY singer/songwriter from Chicago, IL.

It's not easy, balancing the external demands of work/life with the internal demands of creativity, but I'm working toward a set of sustainable internal systems that will allow me to continue to write, record, and release songs. Hopefully for the rest of my life.

I appreciate you taking the time to listen.
