Albatross Lyrics by Balk

2023

[Verse 1]
Drive the car through the park
It's getting late, it's almost dark
Always looking for a spark
Like my man Sonny Clark
Feel like a firecracker in the rain
Like a bottle rocket hit my brain
Like an injured player stuck in the game
Stockpiling boxes of pain
[Verse 2]
Nevermind what's the cause
The effect necessitates a pause
Everybody's got their flaws
Even my main man Hampton Hawes
Scrape up anything that you can
Heard the circus could use a hand
Scraps are really in high demand
Scrap it up, move it out, strikе up the band
[Verse 3]
When I turn out the light and try to go to sleep
All thе crazy things play out on endless repeat
Random thoughts pop in and out partially obscure
Mostly just waves of doubt, this lifetime is a blur
[Chorus]
See, its an albatross
Try so hard, got so lost
It's an albatross
Everything's harder than I once thought
See, its an albatross
Try so hard, got so lost
It's an albatross
Everything's harder than I once thought
[Verse 4]
Never ever ever throw in the towel
That'd be worse than a flagrant foul
Gotta go deep down into the bowels
Like my man Bud Powell
Sweetest girls in the world
Sweeter than beautiful pearls
Sweeter than anything I know
It's never easy when it's time to go
[Verse 5]
When I turn out the light and try to go to sleep
All the crazy things play out on endless repeat
Random thoughts pop in and out partially obscure
Mostly just waves of doubt, this lifetime is a blur
[Chorus]
See, its an albatross
Try so hard, got so lost
It's an albatross
Everything's harder than I once thought
