about

I wrote this song originally for a jazz singer in Dublin but when she didn't use it on her album, I thought, yeah, I'm taking this one back. This is about the end of the road, the final straw and the power that comes with this sense of urgency and commitment to your dignity

lyrics

Don’t worry I can hold tight
I’m tough enough to persist
I’ve witnessed more than you know,
I’m built to endure the pain
There’s nothing that I want more
Than to exhale all my fears
But if it’s answers you want
You better stop right there
Stop right there

All I want is peace of mind
Somewhere to hold my head up high
Let all these petty things that ruin my life
To dissipate into the night

It's getting harder to bear, this endless turbid affair
The constant critical tone, that cuts my life to the bone
I don’t want you telling me, how to react to demands,
It’s just that I don’t my, life to be some kind of calculated mould of your mind

All I want is peace of mind
Somewhere to hold my head up high
Let all these petty things that ruin my life
To dissipate into the night

Slow down, you’re acting too fast
I can’t keep up, with you

All I want is peace of mind
Somewhere to hold my head up high
Let all these petty things that ruin my life
To dissipate into the night
