lyrics

hardwired
5.3.11

hardwired
I need a rewire
desire
done ruined my veins
all I want for Christmas is a poundin’-heart-beatin’-brain

live wire
I never get tired
inspired
I put the bullets away
clean up every spigot-leakin’-road-leavin’-insane

blues’n an refusin’ , keep on usin’ up another day
blowin up and throwin up and swishin’ out my sippy cup


flipside
it left me hangin’ on the
darkside
I put your picture away
post-traumatic-loneliness-disorder-under-ordained

untied
don’t wanna feel it on the
inside
don’t wanna feel it again
sifting-thru-the-rubble-of-her-wreckage-made-my-head-spin

blues’n an refusin’ , keep on usin’ up another day
blowin up and throwin up and swishin’ out my sippy cup

frantic on the outside, I was sleepin’ on the in
where the poet laid his beats down, I tried hard to walk within
I was waking up so shaken up, and just shakin’ to the core
I tried to live like I was dyin’ just to live a little more

and when the angels and their devils on my shoulders where they sit
would holler thru my empty cavern of a head and throw their fits
I tried to die like I was livin’ just to die again some more
but my disease just like a cancer grew to treat me like a whore

I was usin’ I was blues’n and never refused a single hit
I was boozin’ out and snoozin’ out and I know I need to quit
all this passin’ out and screamin’ out for help why can’t you hear
all the voices in my head I know you hear them all my dear

never knew I had it in me nothing ever looked this strange
all this life was leading up to diagnose myself as crazy
I stumbled in the dark to find the bottle or the gun
help me hold this trigger, baby, whatever happened to our fun?

hot wired
still on the run, dear
so tired
of sleepin here on the train
dose-dramatic-paranoid-a-paranormal-freeze-frame

tongue tied
under-water-shed
a rip tide
come to rattle my cage
wakin-up-so-shaken-up-an-shaking-off-the-insane
wakin-up-so-shaken-up-an-shaking-off-the-insane
wakin-up-so-shaken-up-an-shaking-off-the-insane

about

Hank Barbee image

Hank Barbee North Carolina

Guitar player, balladeer, and self-reflective life-mender all rolled up in a lanky package of boyish charm. ...an interesting evolution...combine dirty blues, roots-rock, thumb-style "Travis picking", surf, dixieland and western swing… throw in some heavy life experience and meaningful lyrical content… what’s for dinner is a rich stew of the last 100+ years of American musical heritage... ... more
