Whoa is Me Lyrics


I don't wanna talk about it,
or get it off my back.
I don't wanna dance around the subject,
you and I both know better than that.
I tried to make the best of it,
but in the end it didn't really mean much.
Leave me with a fiddle, sitting by the piano,
breathing in the dust.My dog died.
"When you were six!"
Really? I guess I've never gotten over it.
Dark cloud constantly hovering over me.
I've been a bad seed ever since the ovaries.
Momma looked at me and told me what it was,
said boy's got a shadow big enough to block the sun.
When it's all said and done, I'm comfortable and numb
to the fact that I'm constantly sweating under the gun.
But it's worth it, ain't it? My friends think I'm famous.
My manager wants to put his foot inside of my anus.

Haven't got a decent night's sleep now in ages
and all I got to show is empty loose-leaf pages.
It piles up but that's the life that I'm used to,
pressing up against the knife with a loose screw.
Sing the blues and everybody assumes you could use
a little old-fashioned, down home talking to.I don't wanna talk about it,
or get it off my back.
I don't wanna dance around the subject,
you and I both know better than that.
I tried to make the best of it,
but in the end it didn't really mean much.
Leave me with a fiddle, sitting by the piano,
breathing in the dust.My truck broke.
"You ride the bus!"
Well it never showed up and it really sucked.
Storm water constantly filling my cup.
Been a hot mess ever since I was just a pup.
Papa looked at me and told me what it is,
said boy's got a weight on his shoulders no one can lift.
Tried a couple times and honestly I admit it's a bitch,
but I kind of appreciate what it did cause it's worth it.
Yeah? The world gets a laugh but my girl's telling me I
could benefit from a quack.
Haven't got a moment in forever-and-a-half, and they wonder why I'm drinking like a pirate in a crashed ship.
That's it, no more no less.
You should learn to be as comfortable with your mess.
Sing the blues and everybody expects they could be the one to save you from the depths.

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.
