maybe one day soon, i’ll be able to record this song with vocals even i can stand.  the vocals are too low for me. i wrote this after my d-string broke and took some getting used to muting that string during the rest of the song.

the end of this song morphs into “i surrender all.”  sometimes morning can’t come soon enough.

mourning wakes and dawn escapes
the stained fog that i’ve embraced
restless sleep again tonight
a weak end to another weekend

where is my joy?
where is my morning?

i am cloaked with the night sky
blinded by everything in sight
my heart is running a marathon right now
it won’t be long cause i don’t belong here

where is my joy?
where is my morning?

are things really as they seem
circumstance and evidence of things unseen
what is true and what is real
is more important than consequence and all that is known

death, where is your sting?
and hades, your victory?
(psalm 30.5, 1 corinthians 15.55)
