about

"Won't Back Down Again' is an old tune of mine that I dusted off and decided to record during this long period of downtime. It is the first in an installment of assorted "misfit songs." These are songs that I don't have any plans for on a full length, but ones that I would like to release nonetheless. Enjoy, and keep your eyes and ears peeled for more, as they will be coming out one song at a time over the next couple of months!

lyrics

Oh no I won't back down again
No matter what was said
I won't stop myself
It's going to be some time
Before I'm back on my feet again
I don't, I don't even know what to say

But if I turn back in regret
With nothing being said
I wouldn't face myself
I would be so lost
Not knowing which way to turn
I don't, I don't even know what to do

Come with me now
Stop all of your crying
Surreal but somehow
I think things could work out now

But there's something to this game
To me it's not the same
Oh, but who's to blame?
Going through this life
Sometimes I just want to lay down and die
Oh I don't, I don't even know what to think
