Sunny Side Of Hell Lyrics


Sunny, yesterday my life was flled with rain / Sunny, yesterday my life was flled with rain / Sunny, you smiled
at me and really eased the pain / Now the dark days are gone and the bright days are here and my sunny side
shines / Come on man, not your same old shit / I've been living steady wobbling on the edge / Chasing life
around in circles trying to decompress my head / I feel it get intense, choose to break my bread and spread it
around / Take my every single thought into this pen and jot it down / Cause it's the truth to me, you should see
it's all that ever helped / Held my shattered world together when I knocked it of the shelf into the blackness /
Tripping over broken hearts and homes and getting close enough to turn that kid inside of me to stone / And
I'll admit it, cause I was never taught to give it up / Sailed an ocean full of drug addicted misincouraged blood
without a paddle / It took a lot of faith to fght my battles and tackle a couple of habits I never thought that
I'd have to / But did, bottle the water under the bridge and toss another written page of my history to the
wind / When it blows, cause all of this disaster has lead me home and left a lot of room for me to learn to grow
/ Yeah you are not alone / Grab hold of yourself, I know what it's like to get blown away / I know you, that
you've done your dirt and you've dug your graves and it feels like it won't be saved / I say grab hold yourself
and face those days when you feel like it always rains / I've seen the sunny side of hell, that which I never
thought I'd fnd for myself / Never thought I'd fnd for myself / Not your same old song / I've been writing on
a mirror with a razor blade / And chased away the devil in my brain that played me like a spade / Cause day to
day, painted jaded faith issues a shade of gray / And cowered, hid behind emotion just to pay it safe / A pawn,

slowly turning victim to my wrongs / I had to wake up all alone to fnally fgure out my wants / In the house
of haunted love the past will keep me warned and explain me / Even if you're listening through the storm / I
found a purpose and if you heard this then sit it down / Pick its brain until it opens up and redirects the sound
/ The conductor, frozen thunder rumbling through the ground / With a perfect little twist of that suit of armor
and crown / You created, built for denying it / Hiding the cuts and bruises due to the self-inficted bone crush-
ing anxiety / I'm with you, so understand that all of this within you / Has chiseled you a fower out of stone /
Yeah you are not alone

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.
