lyrics

Solitude is Exhausting

I finally found it
That reason for living – for another
I had it but lost it
Twice now but I sauced it
I just couldn’t be bothered
And now I’m picking up the pieces of glass
That I can barely see myself in
Another book, another author... Solitude is exhausting
Time is short and it’s costing
I need to wake up and get this show on the road
So much sand in the desert
Who am I even playing to?
Who’s receiving this heart?
What’s the point of the soul?
And now I’m picking up the pieces of glass
That I can barely see myself in
Another book, another author, another reason to sin
You were my first just don’t be my last and I’m afraid you’ll be the next again
The next lesson life has to offer
Solitude is Exhausting
Solitude is Exhausting
Universe is expanding
Is this what drives us all apart?
We be reaching and pulling so we don’t drift back to the start
And it is my understanding that this world is all that we have - All we have
And now I’m picking up the pieces of glass
That I can barely see myself in
Another book, another author, another reason to sin
You were my first just don’t be my last and I’m afraid you’ll be the next again
The next lesson life has to offer - But I don’t want to do that again…
but I don’t want to do that again … do that again… do that again and again
And now I’m picking up the pieces of glass
Solitude is exhausting

about

Paulzon Fire Gloucester, Massachusetts

Paulzon Fire is the latest project from Paul Brancaleone, Paul Catania and Greg Paul Verga. The Gloucester based trio were the songwriters from Black Sheep Stampede and have now reunited to write and record new material.
With a sound reminiscent of 80s alternative and 60s beat music, Brancaleone and Verga’s driving and jangly arrangements are completed by Catania’s deep and introspective lyrics. ... more
