Sean Watkins - Perfect Left Music (ASCAP)

history flies all around me,
an angry swarm of mistakes
i ran away but not far enough
i thought they were gone, i didn't realize
i kept them alive in the back of my mind
if i could forget it would starve them to death

pay no attention to the monsters
that come ahead of their time
they hurt much more before they're real
their fingers reach from the future
to clutch my throat and play with my mind
turning away would starve them to death

all that's left in my power
is trusting or not, in this hour
if i believe it would starve them to death

notes
We all deal with regrets from our past and anxiety about our future.......two things that don't even exist. Also thanks to Glen Phillips and the Nickel Creekers for helping shape this one
