about

Another song from the advice-a-wise-old-man-on-a-porch-may-give-you approach to lyrical delivery. While it sounds like he is saying life stinks don't waste your time, really it's just circumstance that can stink and as hopes sink just keep movin'. If your ass isn't gettin' kicked enough, something bad is comin' to even you out. Wise old men on an American porch don't usually speak of the yin and the yang of karma using the words yin, yang and karma. It's a mysterious dark double talk.

lyrics

about the whether
don't think anyone likes it or not its just undecided
inside that aching heart
tears that pound your pulse apart
whether or not they say things are looking up
safe to keep your eyes here on the ground
in and of your eyes in and of your heart
in and out your life things just fall apart
as soon as one thing stops another starts
bruising up your eyes breaking up your heart
choice can lead to ruin
can you stand what your doin'
hopeful thoughts pursuing
why should success pollute you
whether or not they say things are looking up
safe to keep your eyes here on the ground
in and of your eyes in and of your heart
in and out your life things just fall apart
as soon as one thing stops another starts
bruising up your eyes breaking up your heart
