Cracks in the sidewalk - Carlo Bruno Jr.

Comfort in lonely strides
As plain truth becomes so real
My smallness laid bare
No special touch, I feel

I know this pain
I can't explain

Night's dark cloak I seek
My broken state, no one must see
A fear starts to grow
Like these endless lonely walks

I know this pain
I can't explain
Giant stain
Resistant to rain

My dog has lost desire
To walk by my side again
Because he's tired of this
Gloomy, sad, and slow pace

I know this pain
Giant stain

Time of damage control
Walks are fine, but not like a lost soul

I'll give daytime a chance
They'll see me and don't mind

Time to take control
And make myself feel whole

At the end of the day
Mess is what we want it to be

You will want to join me
And the two of us, barefoot, will find joy
Even from the cracks in the sidewalk.

5/8 the rim shot on 4 and pointillistic bass (very Tina Weymouth) makes this feel like a waltz. lyric isn't very accommodating...it's ambiguous--which i love--but i miss your more linear stories. the harmonic changes you use at times are mesmerizing. the tremolo gtr after choruses are lovely. the dissonance in the break "Time of damage control" is like a portal to another phrase.
