Falls Apart
Took me by surprise
There was nothing then all at once
We can't get enough time.
The days all melt away
Trips to nowhere pass too fast
But we never get tired of the game
You never hear the sound
It comes out fumbled a quick
And grows until you can't get around
The thing you don't want to say
When life gets a little too real
And the walls come crumbling down
It all falls apart in slow motion
It all falls apart sad and broken
Everything you wanted to say
It don't mean a thing it don't hold no wait
There's nothing to save
There's nothing to save
There's nothing to save when everything falls apart
You pray it'll be okay
You scream at the man in the sky
And start to feel a little more pain
Nothing's every the same
And I've got nothing to say
You've got nothing to say
Nothing to figure out

When We Were Gods

When We Were Gods
When we were gods, we could do anything
Savor the moments we had
wasn't in the cards
we were reckless and never clean
We played and we played and we played
measured our lives day to day
And we kind of feel confused
but we kind of feel amused
When we were gods, we wore our hearts on our sleeve.
didn't have time to look back
coming up fast
and no hint of sympathy
learned just enough to get by
spent all our time getting high
playing video games
and punk rock was sinking in
When we were gods
we lived off anything
saved every penny we had
to drink every night and do it all up again
Drawn to the bright shiny lights
Stumbled back home every night
and get up and do it again
we were gods we could do anything

Take this photograph
It's not all that's left
Remember when time was new
I know the broken path
I know that's where you're at
Be stoic be kind be true
Who judges strange
Who makes the rules
Who's acting their age
Who wants to break through
Don't look down its easy to fall
Don't look back there's nothing at all
Don't stop here you've already stayed too long
Don't carry the weight that's holding you down
Give it away it can't matter now
Push it away til your heart is the only sound
A sprinkle of new year
A lack of a new fear to hold you back
Whenever you're ready...move on
Soak up the days
Get carried away
Exhausted...smiling...you
Who's in the way
Who's got a clue
Who's looking away
Who's looking for you

Beautiful
We can run but the truth always gets in the way
A world on fire led by liars and desires and it's no place to raise a kid
Every side is filled with pride they won't listen to a goddamn thing
All around there's hate it's such a tragic fate I don't know where to begin
But it's beautiful when I look in your eyes
Takes me away to a place I can hide
You hold my hand a little tight sometime
It's beautiful
Used dream used to talk used to laugh at everything
Simple rhymes killing time a simple mind believing every word that was said
All wrapped in bow a gift that you know it's just a silly game
Trust the devil you know sometimes there's nowhere to grow but I'd do it again
End of times every night streaming live and they wonder why we're so insane
Ultra-low frequency brother can you hear me there's something going wrong round here
I'm feeling so tied down I'm reaching up to the ground before I get burred in
Lost trapped in time lost holding the line I lost doing the same

John Radcliff Parkersburg, West Virginia
John Radcliff is a singer/songwriter that loves the technology that allows him to record his songs in the comfort of his own home. His songs remind him of no one in particular, and that’s the point. His songs are very pop oriented. While he calls himself a singer/songwriter, he likes the fleshed out full band sound. This allows him to invite friends over to help him shape the sound of his songs. ... more
John Radcliff recommends:
A true artist in the mold of Townes Van Zandt. But so much more. A wealth of great music waits for you in this link.
