I could do better with the time I’m killing
I might be damned for the state I’m in
But every time I get a glimpse of heaven
I’m just reminded of the hells within
As you stoke fires
We’ll endure the scars
While you buy sunsets
We’ll retrieve the stars
I can’t take another sleepless slumber
What I would pay to wash my memories clean
A worried waste of my imagination
That’s the crux of this recurring dream
As you burn bridges
We watch from afar
While you buy sunsets
We’ll retrieve the stars
I’m just the star in my own movie
It’s a tragedy
A comedy
A reverie of catastrophe
I keep questioning my questions
A fool of suggestions and unlit projections
I’m making up the lines
Twisting the plot
Unraveling time
I’m gutted in knots
As you stoke fires
We’ll endure the scars
As you burn bridges
We watch from afar
While you buy sunsets
We’ll retrieve the stars
Retrieving Stars
As we rise retrieving stars
We realize the prize in the odds that we simply are
Under the guise of beliefs bizarre
That in our skies reside our gods
It’s no mistake
As we take
This solemn vow
With one final bow
We know our future history is now

I was a huge fan of Jimmie’s Chicken Shack back in the day and during his live quarantine shows I heard him play a few of the songs of this album live and every song was amazing! This is a great album! bhuyett1

part 2: While Ive got the FLACS and streamed on here, I actually havent listened to the vinyls....because this was the first Ive bought in 20+ years. I dont even have a record player but it was all just so beautiful..now Im about to spend $300 for a turntable alone. Now....all of that said...Dolby Atmos remix when? I will absolutely intern to be a part of THAT project..... thewasrad
