We Had Reasons

about

Recorded by Mike Votava at MJV Studios, Seattle
Produced by Wes Weddell & Mike Votava.

lyrics

Faceless roads in fading light
No claws, no fangs, no sound, no fear
Dream all night of new excuses
Keep ’em all as souvenirs

I remember, we had reasons
Shame it isn’t any use
Towns like this will cheapen people
Most of what you hear is true

Heart was decent, spirit dampened
Morals someplace in between
All your heroes end up battered
Only way that you’ll get clean

Squalls and squawks and growls and mutters
Candles from a kitchen drawer
Wipe your feet and drop a button
Pick your battles, skip the war

Dark outside, but we knew better
Low stone wall, the blind was open
Rang the bell and slipped the safety
Put that anger into motion
