“Running For Cover”| Ivan & Alyosha

The New Year began, albeit briefly,  in silence.  Every other carbon-based life form slept within the walls of our home.  Suddenly rapid-fire, staccato bursts of gunfire from the outside world celebrating the odometer in the sky rolling over provided a jazzy, black ammo-based chaotic soundtrack.

I can’t help but feel safe, with a perfectly appropriate song to escape.

Living in this world, hiding in plain sight, knowing when to run for cover and when to fight, is far better than building walls and leading an aseptic life.

If I could wake my crooked heart
If I was there right from the start
To feel what it was like to be turned on

If you could fly the battling wind
To miss the mark correct within
If your wish came true your dreams made real

Running for cover
Running to hide

If I could be the walls of man
To rest my head and trust the plan
And fighting like a child to get my way

If I could see the garden place
Before the fall, would things have changed?
I wasn’t there, and neither were you
But I take the blame, as you should too, my friend

Now we’re running for cover
Running to hide
Yeah, we’re running for cover
Running to hide

We’ve been trying with each other to unravel the age old story
But I’m starting to think that there’s a reason we don’t understand
And it’s easy to blame someone else for my wants and my worries
But I know, I accept that it’s just a part of who I am
