The Mess You Made by CW Mullins published on 2023-07-15T16:39:57Z MIX/MASTER - Woods Studio Fog City Fogey - electric guitar, bass, background vocals, production assistance NOTE: Yup, the C in CW stands for Chris... LYRIC The morning mirror can be harsh and cold You know you’re not young but are you that old? You need your coffee to really wake up Maybe that happens around the fifth cup It’s a new day - brand spanking new It’ll probably - spank the heck out of you It’s time to face up to the mess you made The fools you trusted and the loyal betrayed You better face up to the mess you made You tire your brain thinking who to blame It keeps coming up with the same damn name There’s so many people who go by Chris How you supposed to know which one it is What a puzzle, a conundrum Ah come on now, you’re not that dumb It’s time you own up to the mess you made The debts accrued and the tax unpaid It’s time you own up to the mess you made of things through bad decisions Sad submissions Hasty brush offs And clumsy overtures That mess you’re seeing is all yours Meet a friend at a diner, slide in the booth It’s time for confession, admit the truth Eat half her fries, say yeah I’m a wreck And then you leave her with the check no one’s thinking you’ll repay a loan so when you call they mute the phone It’ll shock them if you atone It’s time you face up to the mess you made You’re no innocent, drop the charade If your sins had legs it’d be quite the parade You better face up to the mess you made Genre Indie Comment by Jeff Roberts If your sins had legs it’d be quite the parade what a great line, and the theme is relatable -- I have a friend that sounds like this ; ) 2023-11-12T13:59:38Z Comment by William Snide nice song 2023-10-15T16:27:05Z Comment by Streams13 puts you in a good mood.
