Pressure Cracks
Grieves Lyrics
I feel like I've been breathing out of an exhaust pipe on the job site
With a fist full of bridle sand
Should of seen it coming a mile away from that little hill in which I'm making a stand on
It makes a man of me (doesn't it)
And if it never kills me then I get it pass
Wish I coulda open up the air around me just a little bit so I can take a gasp
Who the hell is watchin',
Put a notch in
My belt
Keep it on the track
But it made a man of me
Right! mad man gotta dance around and playing sounds
Wish I knew back then what I now
Ya look at me now
[Repeat x2]
Dodge it forever
Spending a fortune to figure it out
I don't believe it
Never learned how
All of this pressure is driving me wild
Look at me now
I'm starting to feel like it's stacking on my shoulders another solider with little patience to see the dawn
Fought a lot of odds in the name of cause put them in a box buried in the lawn
But I learned a lesson from didn't I and if I didn't who the hell is gonna teach me
I've been looking for answers and none of em ever offer the lesson that will reach me
Who can see me losing personal relationships like people do their house keys
I've been outside looking inside with a shadow casted all around me
And they doubt me
Try to throw a little part of me away with every frown
Just wish they saw what I know now
Ya look at me now
[Repeat x4]
Dodge it forever
Spending a fortune to figure it out
I don't believe it
Never learned how
All of this pressure is driving me wild
Look at me now

Having spent nearly two years on the road touring in support of 88 Keys and Counting,
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 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.

I feel like I've been breathing out of an exhaust pipe
On the job site, with a fist full of brittle sand
Should have seen it coming
A mile away from the little hill in which I'm making a stand on
It makes a man of me (doesn't it?)
And if it never kills me then I get a pass
Wish I could've opened up the air around me
Just a little bit so I could take a gasp
Who the hell is watching?
Put a notch in my belt, keep it on the tracks
Shoulda woulda coulda never made a difference
When you're playing chicken with your only chance
But it made a man of me, right? Mad man
That gotta dance around and play his sounds
Wish I knew back then what I know now
Yeah, look at me now!

Dodging forever
Spending a fortune to figure it out
I don't believe it

All of this pressure is driving me wild
Look at me now

[Verse 2]
I'm starting to feel like it's stacking on my shoulders
Another soldier with little patience to see the dawn
Fought a lot of odds, in the name of cause
Put em in a box buried in the lawn
But I learned a lesson from it, didn't I?
And if I didn't who the hell is gonna teach me?
I've been looking for answers
And none of em ever offered a lesson that'll reach me

I've been outside, looking inside
With a shadow casted all around me

Try to throw a little part of me away with every frown
Just wish they saw what I know now

+Esteban Aispuro Ironic that that perfect compliment to metal is hip hop.
OfficiallyWrexx
He came on Childish Gambino radio (Pandora) one day and I've been hooked ever since. I can't wait for his next album
Josh Parkinson
never disappoints, that's for sure. Always seems to bring me back to the now.
