Justified (Long Way Down)

from Bruising From the Fall by Brian McKenzie

/

about

I wrote this song while I was living in Nashville for a month, writing the music for the new Kilgore album.. which is heavy stuff. I had a lot of personal issues going on and this song just came out. A little heavier on the distortion and it could have been a Kilgore tune.

lyrics

Staring in front of me
Focused
Balancing the weight
It’s a long way down

Sweat in my eyes, my heart racing
Legs begin to shake
It’s along way down

Well it’s hard to face when you see what’s wrong
But I’ll make it right and it won’t be long
Cause I justified what I felt inside
I would spare you pain while I suffer mine

Angel holds a candle to guide me
Devil claws my back
It’s a long way down

And I’ve got my own broken horns
and a halo that’s cracked
It’s a long way down

And I’m hanging on, hanging on
and I promise I will be strong
and I’m learning my lesson for you

And it’s hard to face when you see what’s wrong
But I’ll make it right and it won’t be long
Cause I justified all the truths I hide
I would spare you pain while I suffer mine
