SAVING GRACE Were you ever really there Were you ever more than a ghost Were you inside the circle when I needed you the most? Were you ever within my grasp Were you always at arm's length Were you the force of nature designed to sap my strength Avoider, avoiding, avoided Were you a mystery to unravel Were you a problem to resolve Did envy get the better of you watching us evolve Did I make you truly happy Was it ever black and white When I questioned your existence did you think I might be right Avoider, avoiding, avoided [You do not speak for me My words are not interpreted by gods So when we come to spin the wheel of fortune You'll manipulate the numbers And multiply the odds... Will you be my salvation When all I’m looking for is something to replace All the faith I had in those who did not deserve it You need to earn the right to be My saving grace…] Were you watching from a distance When the soil began to rot When famine starved a generation did you intervene or not When the sky was ash and bible black Did you think to make it rain To bring an end to suffering or were you avoiding us again Avoider, avoiding, avoided Did you take responsibility For the consequences of your inaction Did you try to make the perfect peace or side with both warring factions Are you a hostage to temptation A victim of wrong place wrong time We watched you torch our villages yet we pay for your crimes Avoider, avoiding, avoided Avoider, avoiding, avoided Avoider, avoiding, avoided Avoider, avoiding, avoided © KR Borras 2020

Openly watching me falling apart, I've given them all that they wanted, Trading a lifetime of stolen goods cigarettes, To all of the guys that they've haunted And I'm out Reluctantly smiling, super happy face, I'll show you as long as you want, A creeping distortion, a screaming reluctance A city that's so less violent And I'm out

about

Music Against Living Miserably Vol 1 is a collection of songs from acts that feel strongly about raising awareness of the subject of loneliness, depression and suicide, and as such have donated songs to raise as much money as possible which will we donate to CALM.

2019 showed a rise of 11.8% in suicides across the UK which includes a 19-year high in rate of deaths among young people aged 10 to 24. 75% of all suicides are men.

Thank you so much to all the bands involved and also Sam Cox for the artwork. You're are legends.

Thanks also to James Shipsides of "Theresa's Sound World" blogs and vlogs for his help when putting this together.
