about

Three days ago this track didn't exist, three days later here it is... I can't explain why, but I felt very compelled to record this song right away as soon as I wrote the first guitar part. I am quite pleased with how this came out and I hope it finds an audience. Lyrically very close to home. Released as the lead single from the disc it immediately garnered airplay on Q104, thanks for that!

lyrics

Tainted Glass
- R. Johnson

Take this independence
Or take this love
Can you have it all?
(I don't think you)
Can have it all

Chase this happiness
And take the fall
Can you have it all?
(I don't think you)
Can have it all

No one ever takes the blame
And no ever walks away unscathed
You're crying out
But no one turns their head your way
And no one sees the need to save you
Till it's too late to pull through

List this false freedom here
Dollar buys it all
Will you sell it off?
(I don't think you)
Can sell it off

Live these rules
And play by them
Can you have it all?
Tell me how I
Can have it all

No one ever takes the blame
And no ever walks away unscathed
You're crying out
But no one turns their head your way
And no one sees the need to save you
Till it's too late for you

Spiraling with a brave face
Keeps them away
As you hide behind tainted glass
Left with you vs. you
To battle in solitude
With no clear winner

No one ever takes the blame
And no ever walks away unscathed
You're crying out
But no one turns their head your way
And no one sees the need to save you
Till it's too late to pull through

Take this independence...
