Evade the Pain

Evade the Pain


Rounded up the problems that I’m feeling here today.
Wrap them up and hide them out of sight and far away.
Take the ball and chain away that always keeps me down.

The sun won’t always shine just ‘cause you’re sheltered from the rain.
Everything worth anything will never be the same.
You can write a brand new chapter but you’ll never change the end.

So twist one more, all though I know you’ll break me.
Just be sure that I’m still in the game.
As long as I forever keep on twisting,
Evade the pain.

Solitude is where it tends to hit me really hard.
I keep myself in company, I’m keeping up my guard.
Turn my back and hide from what is standing right behind.

So twist one more, although I know you’ll break me.
Just be sure that I’m still in the game.
As long as I forever keep on twisting,
Evade the pain.

Everything I know is different,
Darker, colder, smaller, thinner,
Everything I know is different now, different now, it’s different now.

I heard this song for the first time today. What can I say? At the moment I'm absolutely stunned by it's beauty and honesty, stunned by the striking lyrics that I can relate to in so many ways. It approaches slowly but overwhelmes me after the first chorus... it feels like getting hit into the stomach in a pleasurable way, it's so strong and moving. I can't really put it into words...

I think you just did....

Thanks so much for the lyrics flakie.
I like how you put that feeling into words, I feel the same about the song. After a few days after getting the CD this one became one of my fave tracks on the album.

"You can write a brand new chapter but you'll never change the end" - indeed...

Definitely my fav song at the moment... beautifully orchestrated from start to end, stunning vocals as well. It really moves me, but actually nearly all Garrison songs do as they just have a way to become very personal to the listener... there are plenty I SO can relate to, it's almost unbelievable.

"Forever Keep On Twisting" - would you???

Been listening to this one about 500 times by now, still stops me in my tracks every time I hear it. Such a beautiful yet so very sad song.

1. Evade The Pain (cause the violin bit at the end is my Dad and that's what the song is about)

I'm in awe...
