Sunny Side Of Hell
Grieves Lyrics
Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain
Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain
Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain
Now the dark days are gone and the bright days are here and my sunny side shines
Come on man, not your same old shit
I’ve been living steady wobbling on the edge
Chasing life around in circles trying to decompress my head
I feel it get intense, choose to break my bread and spread it around
Take my every single thought into this pen and jot it down
It’s all that ever helped
Held my shattered world together when I knocked it off the shelf into the blackness
Tripping over broken hearts and homes and getting close enough to turn that kid inside of me to stone
And I’ll admit it, cause I was never taught to give it up
Sailed an ocean full of drug addicted misincouraged blood
Without a paddle
It took a lot of faith to fight my battles and tackle a couple of habits I never thought that
I’d have to
But did, bottle the water under the bridge and toss another written page of my history to the wind
When it blows, cause all of this disaster has lead me home and left a lot of room for me to learn to grow
Yeah you are not alone
Grab hold of yourself, I know what it’s like to get blown away
I know you, that
You’ve done your dirt and you’ve dug your graves and it feels like it won’t be saved
I say grab hold yourself and face those days when you feel like it always rains
I’ve seen the sunny side of hell, that which I never
Thought I’d find for myself
Never thought I’d find for myself
Not your same old song
I’ve been writing on a mirror with a razor blade
And chased away the devil in my brain that played me like a spade
Cause day today, painted jaded faith issues a shade of gray
And cowered, hid behind emotion just to pay it safe
A pawn, slowly turning victim to my wrongs
I had to wake up all alone to finally figure out my wants
In the house of haunted love the past will keep me warned and explain me
Even if you’re listening through the storm
I found a purpose and if you heard this then sit it down
Pick its brain until it opens up and redirects the sound
The conductor, frozen thunder rumbling through the ground
With a perfect little twist of that suit of armor
And crown
You created, built for denying it
Hiding the cuts and bruises due to the self-inflicted bone crushing anxiety
I’m with you, so understand that all of this within you
Has chiselled you a flower out of stone
Yeah you are not alone
Grab hold of yourself, I know what it’s like to get blown away
I know you, that
You’ve done your dirt and you’ve dug your graves and it feels like it won’t be saved
I say grab hold yourself and face those days when you feel like it always rains
I’ve seen the sunny side of hell, that which I never
Thought I’d find for myself
Never thought I’d find for myself

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.

SUNNY SIDE OF HELL LYRICS
[Intro]
Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain
Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain
Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain
Now the dark days are gone and the bright days are here and my sunny side shines
[Verse 1]

His problems and wrongs (like drugs) led him to be all alone, and that is when he realised he had to change, he realised the social life he lost was more important than all he was doing wrong.
