about

One man's self-examination of his life.

lyrics

Seems like there’s always something, bigger than me, blocking my way
And I always find myself, on the ground, at the end of the day
I’m standing at a crossroads, every time I look, I’m faced with choosing
No matter what team I’m on, it always seems, like I’m losing
I’ve got to find a way

If I put my life on a shelf (If I put my life on a shelf)
Maybe I could see, just what I’m doing wrong
I’m just like everybody else (I’m just like everybody else)
Trying to find my way, down this crazy road

Keep looking for a sign, everywhere I turn, that things are gonna change
Seeking solace in a bottle, to get away, and hide the pain
Don’t know what I’ve done wrong, in my life, to be punished this way
I’ve tried so damn hard, I know I’ve tried, every Goddamn day
I’ve got to find a way

If I put my life on a shelf (If I put my life on a shelf)
Maybe I could see, just what I’m doing wrong
I’m just like everybody else (I’m just like everybody else)
Trying to find my way, down this crazy road

I can’t live this way. There’s too much I wanna do. I’m gonna find me a better way

Tomorrow is a new day, and I’ll try, with all my might
To put the past behind me, and steel myself, for another fight
I’m gonna take the cards I’m given, play ‘em right, and try to win
‘Cause giving up is not an option, and I’m not, no I’m not, giving in
I’ve got to find a way

If I put my life on a shelf (If I put my life on a shelf)
Maybe I could see, just what I’m doing wrong
I’m just like everybody else (I’m just like everybody else)
Trying to find my way, down this crazy road

If I put my life on a shelf (If I put my life on a shelf)
Maybe I could see, just what I’m doing wrong
I’m just like everybody else (I’m just like everybody else)
Trying to find my way, down this crazy road

ColonBlow Monmouth, Maine

ColonBlow formed in 2006 when Ronney met Jimmy & Joe at a function. Ronney was already singing in a band, “Out of the Cellar” while Jimmy and Joe had been playing in Jimmy's basement for awhile already. Soon they played parties and they had their first bar gig. It didn't take long before Ronney & Jimmy were collaborating on original song ideas and realized that they were quite catchy. ... more
