lyrics

That sense I couldn’t shake, that I was better yesterday
I’m gonna let it go
And the possibilities that others saw in me
I’m gonna let ‘em go
Did I waste my time in line
Did I blow it every time
No going back, no going back

And this feeling in my head, like everything’s unstoppable
It’s not impossible to let it go
And the worn-out memories of the best and worst of me
I’m, I’m gonna let ‘em go
If I tried to stay with you, it’s just…you were all I knew
Long ago I should have let you go

And if being this sort of man was never part of my plan
You’ll understand if I let it go
And the one or two I tried to keep from leaving me behind
It took a bit of time to work you off my mind
I got so far away from home I had to make one of my own
On my own, on my own

And if I spent thirty years just trying to disappear
I didn’t know how to let it go
And was my simple goal to gain or let go of control
My scars show how I let it go
My mind, it had to learn to make my heart beat out these words:
No going back
There’s no going back [x3]

Trouble of this World

This album grows on me more and more with each listen. Bodner's approach to taking traditional music and reworking it and weaving it into his own personal narrative is amazing. On Into Grace, his own narrative is in the forefront. mad_wanderer

Uncle Sinner is raw & emotionally charged. You could tag this as death country, as I do, but there really is so much more to his music than just that label ©ough©ool
