about

Originally titled "Ascertain This", this song was cut from the final listing for The Man Forgotten at the last minute. Now, I'm bringing it back as a bonus track.

lyrics

I woke up and you stole my story
All the guns but I've got no glory
Fever dream and my bones start shakin'
Memories are the pills I'm takin'

I white-knight but my heart is so black
Breadcrumbs but I know I can't go back
I've got my sights in the rearview mirror
Now I see clearer

And I want something more than this
Oh, but baby I'm a sinner
You tell me I'm a sinner
I don't even know what time it is

It was a dream, but my body's wakin'
I had the spins from the chems you're makin'
This ain't a war - it's a revolution
Pheromones, nothing but pollution

I white-knight but my heart is so black
Breadcrumbs but I know I can't go back
Eighty-eight and I'm drawing nearer

And I want something more than this
Oh, but baby I'm a sinner
You tell me I'm a sinner
I don't even know what time it is

And I want to believe

I polish each track until, sonically, it feels like it sparkles. ... more
