Anchor Lyric
Status Quo

Perfection's an illusion of distance

Knowing you I'd say no closer than that

From where you are I can still feel importance

Oh, I know it's just an accident

Importance is subject to perspective so it's no wonder your concern is your tail

Can't hear me now, but when you decide to you'll find my note when you come up for air

Oh you were right and I was wrong

I was as weak as you were strong

I can't stand, watch or stay put. I can't do what they say or say what I should


The more you see the less you will suffer 

While the less you see the more you’ll feast on your own

Our blindness brother butters utter delusion as we cover our eyes to swallow it whole

Oh you were right and I was wrong

I was as weak as you were strong

I can't stand, watch or stay put. I can't do what they say or say what I should

I should've know it all along, upon deaf ears lands my swan song

Who’s wrong? Who’s right? It never shows

The blame and shame unclaimed in this status quo

As usual no one's naming names

Go on deny your games

Go on claim your glove won’t fit

You're so empty, so full of it


Oh you were right and I was wrong

I was as weak as you were strong

Who’s wrong? Who’s right? It never shows 

The blame and shame unclaimed in this status quo

As usual it’s quite clear to see things are as white for you as they’re black for me

Behind The Song...

Status Quo

I wrote this song many years ago in my youthful exuberance and thirst for justice. After sharing the song with a bandmate, I received a less than glowing critic so I tossed the song on the pile and let it sit. It is interesting that I did toss the song aside because I have always liked the song. As I was gathering songs for the “Wishful Thinking” EP this song raised it’s hand and indicated it should be included.
