about

A co-write with Aaron Joyce, a young and talented Vancouver guitarist and singer/songwriter.

lyrics

Your mouth is the gun
Your words the ammunition
You can take back what’s been said
But I’ll still be shot full of lead

Your eyes are the blades
That slice through all the plans I’ve made
You can blame it on a troubled life
But a heart can’t forget the twisting of the knife

If your argument is not with me
Then why do I have to bleed
If I’m the victim of your crime
Why am I the one doing time

You were the flame
That once burned through my veins
But now with nothing to lose
You’re just a spark, I’m just a fuse

If your argument is not with me
Why do I have to bleed
If I’m the victim of your crime
Why am I the one doing time

Caught out in the light
I’ve earned my stripes
I’ve had all I can take
Gonna make my prison break
I won’t be guilty of the same mistake

If your argument is not with me
Then why do I have to bleed
If I’m the victim of your crime
Why am I the one doing time

John Pippus Vancouver

"Reminiscent and harkening in spirit, in some ways, to Neil Young’s classic “Harvest,” Pippus and friends have made something much richer in tone and certainly more fitting for 2022.”
