Oscar Ames - New Blues (Demo) Lyrics

It took me a lifetime to know what to say
It took just a moment to wash it away
Now I speak on the cusp of my tongue
I'm not sure where we're headed
But we're going strong
It took me a lifetime to know what to say
It took just a moment to wash it away
And if I could have that charade back
I'm not sure if I would
And that's a fact

It took me through darkness to know how it aches
It took me 'til daylight to know how it breaks
And if I could lay it all out in one song
There wouldn't be any words and no one to sing along
It took me through darkness to know how it aches
It took me 'til daylight to know how it breaks
And just like a flatline there's no tocks in time
For what you'll come to find is the presence of absence of mind
