lyrics

Stabs in the Dark
Words and music by Hannah Lee Thompson and Joseph Hixon Terrell.

Dreaming lucid, I’m halfway to reality
I’m just sitting around hoping
My dreams can follow me

My hands are heavy, my hands are numb and dull
I’m just sitting around hoping
They’ll catch me when I fall

Chorus:
I’ve been taking stabs in the dark
I went swimming with the sharks
All in the comfort of my own head
I walked leopards on a leash
I rode whales on to the beach
All in the comfort of my own bed

I’m not going anywhere relevant
At least not yet
Given all that you’ve said

Look to the east and to the west
Sooner or later
Everyone you see will be dead

Chorus

I am not ungrateful, I don’t want to sound ungrateful (x2)
But if you ask me where I’ll be in ten years
I’d say anywhere that isn’t here
Because there is no better way to waste my mind
Then to sit here, killing out time
I don’t want to sound ungrateful, because I am not ungrateful (x2)

Slowly the coins drain from the bank
Slowly the water
Empties out of the tank

I’ve got precious few words left to say
Every time I spreak
I watch them float away
Chorus

Bonding ensued over 3 course meals served by the fantastic Anna Terrell and a close call with angry hooligans who chased them home. It was only a matter of time before joe and hannah became The Johannas. ... more
