All you'll ever be is this A faded, fated nearly missed
Captain's stripes are counterfeit You wear them thin
Hide in your head 'til the tillers have all gone to hell in a fury and a fit
Claim the wind is at your back when your face is chapped
Shed your name at the gate then look the other way
Take your place at the back of the line and pray
that nobody recognizes you today
"A fine day for breathing," he sniffed and then he pursed his lips
"All the great ones make their names with the liar's gift
"Crawl back in bed, let the little voices in your head
spin gold out of lead"
Then overboard he went to the quiet depths
Shed your name at the gate then look the other way
Take your place at the back of the line and pray
that nobody recognizes you today

When you're dead, you have no fear
When you're dead, you have no fear
Except fear of life coming to drag you back to earth
When you're falling like a stone
When you're falling like a stone
And you know something isn't quite working and peace comes knocking
When I told you I was sorry, I didn't tell you I would change
It's not death I welcome in
It's an occupational hazard Like the top step on a ladder
And I can't help but step there
The mirror never lies No, the mirror never lies
You tell yourself, "Never again," but the phone's still ringing
When you're falling like a stone
When you're falling like a stone
And you know something isn't quite working and peace comes knocking
When I told you I was sorry, I didn't tell you I would change
It's not death I welcome in
It's an occupational hazard Like the top step on a ladder
And I can't help but step there
When you're dead, you have no fear
When you're dead, you have no fear
Except fear of life coming to drag you back to earth

Mark Hutchins Fort Wayne, Indiana
"When you can get a song across with just a guitar and a voice, that's when you know it's working. Full-band arrangements are great, but a good song has to have a solid core.” So says Indiana singer-songwriter Mark Hutchins, who put that philosophy to the test on his 2010 solo release, Sleepy Furnace, and once again on his latest full length, Liar's Gift. ... more
