lyrics

I see you running headfirst, straight downhill
But downhill’s ease could have false appeal
Someday soon you’re gonna have to reach the bottom
One day you’ll have to stop and feel

I tell you that it’s all my fault
I try to make it all my fault
Words fall flat in the sense of trying to prove what’s right
I tell you that it’s all my fault
I try to make it all my fault
I just can’t seem to help you into the light

One day there’ll be nothing left to do, but die
But that’s no reason for you to seem so blue
We’ll sit right down at the counsel of the enemy
Knowing damn well that he used to be a friend to me
One day there’ll be nothing left to do

So we could just sit here like it’s all ok
Or you can pretend that I’m not here
But that cloud’s not real and it’s not going away
The shadow has moved in to stay

I tell you that it’s all my fault
I try to make it all my fault
Words fall flat in the sense of trying to prove what’s right
I tell you that it’s all my fault
I try to make it all my fault
I just can’t seem to help you into the light

One day there’ll be nothing left to do, but die
But that’s no reason for you to seem so blue
We’ll sit right down at the counsel of the enemy
Knowing damn well that he used to be a friend to me
One day there’ll be nothing left to do

Why you wanna be like her?
What are you trying to learn?
Why you wanna be like her?
Why you wanna smolder and burn?

I tell you that it’s all my fault
I try to make it all my fault
Words fall flat in the sense of trying to prove what’s right
I tell you that it’s all my fault
I try to make it all my fault
I just can’t seem to help you into the light

One day there’ll be nothing left to do, but die
But that’s no reason for you to seem so blue
We’ll sit right down at the counsel of the enemy
Knowing damn well that he used to be a friend to me

One day there’ll be nothing left to prove

Newbold Los Angeles, California

Newbold has been writing music and performing live for too damn long for this to be his debut record. Born in Petaluma, in the north SF Bay Area, the singing drummer has lived his entire life in various parts of CA playing in bands and serving the song to the best of his ability. His slippery grooves and musicality coupled with his gritty vocals often draw comparisons to his idol, Levon Helm. ... more
