Still Feels Broken

about

Recorded years ago at the Village Studios in Santa Monica. This one never got a release and I stumbled across it recently on a old hard drive.

This is me waxing pretty hardcore philosophical about coming of age and the old adage "youth is wasted on the young."

lyrics

All the laws have changed
You think you know, but you won't stay the same
You think you feel but you don't feel the way
That night is fixing to fall
It's on the road with you
You know the signs but you don't see the truth
All these clouds are hanging over you
But you can't run from yourself

Ah, well
You can't run from yourself
You can't change what you feel
You don't choose what you need
Still feels broken to me

Now I know the names
Of all these things that I once thought were strange
And all I'm looking for is a better way
To be the one that I was
I was tired before
But now I see that it's an open door
All this time I never went too far
I didn't know where I was

Oh well
You can't run from yourself
I was young and afraid
Now I am old and ashamed
Oh well
You can't run from yourself
You can't change what you feel
You don't choose what you need
Oh well
You can't run from yourself
You just choose where to look
And try to do what is good
Try to be understood

Krister Axel New York

Hi, my name is Krister Axel. I am a roots-rock veteran of the indie music scene, and I have a degree in Poetry. I am a published lyricist, composer, and songwriter. I started playing piano in White Plains, New York because our black upright piano fascinated me and my sisters hated their piano lessons. That was in the 80's and I have never stopped writing songs.
My music blog is called CHILLFILTR.
