Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song about how cut-throat and two faced people can be. Hypocrites, liars, cheaters and users. You can see a shift in the general state of people from stories that our elders have shared with us, compared to how things are these days. Honor, trust and loyalty are the next dinosaurs.
Song Description
Backstabbers, two-facers, liars and cheats. This World we live in sometimes seems to be unraveling right before our eyes.It feels like we are in a room where the walls are closing in at times. This song is about all of that.

Lyrics
IT'S SO HARD TO SAY YOU'RE SORRY
SO FULL OF WORDS THEY CAN ALL JUST CUT YOU TO THE BONE
BUT YET, SORRY IS THE HARDEST OF ALL
WHEN THIS BIG WORLD'S TIED UP IN CIRCLES
THERE'S ALWAYS SOMEONE WHO IS RIGHT EVEN WHEN THERE WRONG
YOU FEEL AS THOUGH YOU DON'T BELONG
TOO MUCH PRIDE, HITCH YOURSELF A RIDE BUT IT NEVER COMES
IT'S LIKE THIS WORLD HAS COME UNDONE
NOW EVERYBODY'S OUT TO GET YOU
THEY'LL RIP YOU APART AND IN THIS HERE TOWN
BUT YOU MIGHT THINK THAT THEIR YOUR SAVIOR
THEY'D SELL YOU OUT IF IT CAME RIGHT DOWN
IF YOU CAN'T SWIM YOU'LL PROBABLY DROWN
LET'S ESCAPE THIS PLACE AND WE'LL SHOOT THE MOON LIKE A STOLEN GUN
JUST LIKE TWO STARS SIZZLING IN THE SUN
NOW IT'S SO EASY TO BE TRAGIC
AND COVER YOUR EYES TO SPITE THE SUN
IF WHAT IS DONE CAN BE FORGIVEN
LET'S NOT LEAVE THIS LEFT UNSUNG
THERE STILL IS HOPE IN EVERYONE
THERE'S TOO MUCH PRIDE, HITCH YOURSELF A RIDE BUT IT NEVER COMES
WHAT'S WORTH WAR IF NOTHING IS WON
WE'RE JUST BARELY HOLDING ON
YOU COULD SWEAR THIS WORLD HAS COME UNDONE
