Recluse Lyrics


Yeah, I pushed the boat out - I'm floating on faith
Got a I-don't-give-a-shit look stuck on my face
I guess that I've become a product of the castle gates
Dug a moat around my heart and filled it up with paint
I went and poured it on the rocks with my last album
So thick that a normal person would pass out from
Now something of which I used to confide in
Got me sittin in silence, propping open my eyelids
Stupid - I just want to listen to the music
Fade in to the background and drink until the rooms spinnin'
So move some, there ain't nothing left to see here
The only words I'm a pay attention to are "free beer"
So leave me here like a cricket in a matchbox
Cash in my good luck and spend it on a padlock
The bad thoughts and the whiskey are better company than bullshit
So just leave it and goI don't want to go outside today
No, I want to be left aloneNo, I want to be left alone
I don't want to get up out my bed

I want to be left alone
Didn't hear a goddamn word you said
Go homeI hit the still water; coasting on hope
Got a bunch of little daggers tattooed on my throat - (ouch)
What's the point of making friends when you grew upI guess that I don't know the difference when it comes to space
You're either leaving me alone or all up in my face
And lately, with the way that things are going
I don't taste the sugar in your words for me to give a shit about what you say
Yup - I'm crazy and irrational
Always tell the truth so that you can call me "asshole"
I prefer the black hole over the sun
Plant a seed up in the sound garden; watered with rum
It's not the same when you're looking through the frame of a broken heart
The smoke blinds but also helps you look the part
So you can knock it 'til your knuckles get scars
I suggest you leave it and goI don't want to go outside today
No, I want to be left alone
I don't want to put the mask on my face
No, I want to be left alone
I don't want to get up out my bed
I want to be left alone
Didn't hear a goddamn word you said
Go home

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Having spent nearly two years on the road touring in support of 88 Keys and Counting, Grieves found himself returning home to a fractured reality. Reeling from turbulence in his career and heartbreak in his personal life mixed with coming down from the high of the support he received on the road Grieves conceptualized Together/Apart, an album that would address the bond music creates between each of us as individuals and as a whole despite the many distances we experience be they geographical or emotional.

The end of 2008 saw Grieves enlisting the help of friend and collaborator Budo to co-produce Together/Apart bringing his signature swiss-army knife, multi-instrumental backdrop to Grieves' hauntingly poignant narrative. The album began taking shape in New York as the two built off the success 88 Keys and Counting had generated and paired it with the intensity they developed from their live performances. The recording process began to shadow the theme of the album as it saw tracks recorded in Colorado and Washington in addition to New York, infusing it with a mixture of regional influences while still maintaining a cohesive sound. As the album neared completion the title took on a double meaning for Grieves as he explored new subject matter in the absence of trust, refuge in addiction, acceptance and honesty in self-reflection, and trying to find his place in the world without forgetting his roots.
