lyrics

I clear my throat as I hold the phone
And I've got so much to say,
But my courage fails and I'm silent anyway

And I've been giving in to old mistakes,
There's comfort in familiar pain,
Oh, it's the new kind of lonely that will drive my mind insane
Oh, it's the new kind of lonely that will drive my mind insane

I attempt to sleep through the fever dreams,
But I never quite win that fight
So I compensate with nicotine and China white

And as the moonlight shines upon my tired eyes
I marvel before the view
And I wonder if the light is shining on you, too
Yeah, I wonder if the light is shining on you, too

They say you just have to wait it out
It'll fade away like everything else
But it's no easier now
No, it's no easier now
It's no easier now
And you'd think after all this I'd have settled down

I'm carrying on the best I can,
But that ain't saying much
As most of my weight's still leaning on a crutch

So I beg myself to just be brave,
Though it seems I'll never start
'Cause it's the new kind of lonely that weighs heavy on my heart
Oh, it's the new kind of lonely that weighs heavy on my heart

They say that time really ought to help,
And I'll forget in spite of myself,
But it's no easier now
No, it's no easier now
It's no easier now
And you'd think after all this time I'd have settled down

the Hill Country Devil Texas

The Hill Country Devil (AKA Hayden Karchmer) seems to bring back something from beyond the edge with every song he pens, exorcising harrowing demons with every performance. Despite a burdensome life spent on the run from his own worst habits, always picking up the pieces just to pawn them off, he's somehow still here with us, still dangling from the edge, still plumbing unknown depths of the soul. ... more
