I found a picture the other day
Reminded me of time away from me
Made me think of the ones I love
And wondered if there better off without me in the frame

I’m so stuck in my ways
Theres got to be a price to pay
I’ve coasted for to long
Where’s the judgement for my wrongs

I caught my reflection today
Saw an image of disarray
Made me realize I’ve paid the bill
Made me see I’ve got to change, Or these scars will never heal

I’m so stuck in my ways
I can’t see whats in front of me
I forgotten why I belong
I only see when I am wrong

I'm sittin at home right now.  Hammered.  Thinking about all the ways I can make tomorrow better. 

I always come up with these new ideas on how to make it happen.  But, 6 inches and falling with no way to escape is a great opportunity to look at what you have.

Like I said, I always look at how to make tomorrow better.  I sit here now, and wonder if I am asking myself the right question.  Maybe instead, I should be asking myself, how do I make what I have Better!?

I dont really have a point to this post.  Maybe I already made it and missed it.  I do know what I got from it.  A moment to sit and type down what I was feeling.

If your snowed in right now please, do the same in a response.  Just tell me what your feeling.  Not for my confirmation, but because you may never know what it is your saying until you get the chance to hear (or read) it back.

Hey everybody.  These are the lyrics from "Praying For Rain" from my upcoming album, The Comfort of Home.  Hope you enjoy.

Theres shadows in our fate
cracks in the clean slate
Whats the running for?
What are we running towards?
I’ll wait for the tidal waves
I’ll wait for the earth to quake
I’ll wait here, and pray for rain

(Hang on)
Disaster follows me
I’m tired of running
I’ll build my pillar here
I’ll find my place to be
I know its somewhere near

There’s past in every day
There no way to walk away
So tell me who does your mirror see?
I’ve stared him in the face
He fades but never changes shape
I’m never alone
So We’ll wait for the tidal waves
We’ll watch as the earth quakes
We’ll be here, praying for rain

Those who cant stop can never be helped but yet I cant help myself. I'm trying.  The world is not so clear anymore is an understatement.  It's never been clear.  That's okay. 

While I don't believe, I pray.  Maybe that's why my prayers fall on deaf ears.  But I can't help it.  I can't subscribe to that nonsense.

There is so much I don't know.  So much I can't take anymore.  So much of so much, I may of had enough.  That's okay

I'll make it anyway.  I know what I have and that is all that I love.  Not because I have it, but because I fought to make it so.  These "things" are what I wanted more than anything in this world.  So I went out and did whatever it took to get them.  I am far from done.

Sometimes the world can hand us unbearable tragedy and expect us to just shrug it off and move on.  However in one way or another, we hold on to those moments.

While most of my songs from this album have a positive spin, Puzzle Pieces is a story of what happens when you can't move on and heal.  It's the story of man who loses something he loved and cherished dearly.  Since then, he has been unable to feel whole.

This song was near unbearable to write and record.  It was hard for me not to put myself in my characters shoes.  I couldnt imagine being able to move forward with my life if my daughter and wife were not a part of it.

I hope that when you hear this song, you feel an overwhelming comfort with the state of your own life.  I know it's hard times for everyone and even a smile can be a difficult task at times but, we are still here and we all have the strength to pull through.  Even if you are going through the exact situation the man in Puzzle Pieces is, know you are not alone and somewhere inside you is the strength you need to pick up whats left and find happiness again.

Talk to you soon,
Adam
