lyrics

Look Back, Child

I keep on aging,
Lines deepen in my face,
Staring through the mirror –
Who wears this mask I see?
Is this really me?
Sad and strange,
Slowly changing.
From honest, open smiles,
To guarded looks askance,
Presenting to the world –
A (young) man of suspicion,
A man riddled by inhibition,
Is this who I am,
Who I want to be?
What anger has tarnished,
Can love again make clean?
Resurrect what used to be
The child in me.
I turn back on the past,
My past frowns back at me,
Wondering to the future –
My child’s disapproval,
His reprimanding call.
Is this The future he dreamed?
Did he dream of me?
I can’t stop aging,
For youth, time does not wait...

about

English Minor Chicago, Illinois

A songwriting duo who, after many (many) attempts, have been unable to formulate a bio of just the right amount of sincerity and irony so as to succinctly capture the essence of their musical sensibilities.
