With Every Intention

Alright, other than having a great show last night at Ireland's Four Courts in Arlington, things are pretty quiet on my end. The crowd wasn't as big as usual for the venue, but everyone was with me from start to finish. The show was from 9:00 to 1:30 with a 15 minute break at 10:30. All I can say is that the tequila shots definitely helped move things along lol. 

I've been listening to one of my old favorite bands, Boy Sets Fire this weekend while driving around and I couldn't help but want to share the lyrics to their song, "With Every Intention" from my favorite album of theirs, "Tomorrow Come Today." 

Not in the running,
But this rain is nothing new to me anyway,
I see my reflection, 
Nowhere near who I should be,
The spirit is willing,
But the anchors of my flesh still hold me down,
With every distraction,
I lose more of who I should be.

How many times to try,
Before I realize,
The flaws in my design,
Made me have to ask why.

Why'd you make me so weak,
I tried but I'm incomplete,
Is this all there is, all there is to me?

How many chances,
At redemption do I think I'll ever get,
Keep changing my rhythms for a shot at something more,
Miracles happen,
So why do I feel like I'm being left behind?
It's still in my nature,
To look for what I can't find.

How many times to try,
Before I realize,
The flaws in my design,
Made me have to ask why.

Why'd you make me so weak,
I tried but I'm incomplete,
Is this all there is, all there is to me?

Is this all there is, all there is to me?
I should be a better man,
Is this all there is, is this all there is to me?
I can pick myself up again,
Is this all there is, all there is to me?
I hope that one day I'll make a stand,
But right now,
This is all there is to me.

No matter how I dream,
I will never be complete,
'Cause right now, 
This is all there is to me.
