Better at writing code than talking to you guys... | Chris Bryan

This song is for anyone who feels like they’re living in the wrong era, staring at a screen while their soul is somewhere else.

'I’m a Day Too Early or a Life Too Late' is a confession. It’s about the silence of the comment section, the weight of the father’s name we carry, and the God we’re sometimes too ashamed to look in the eye.

Written and Produced for WillMunnyMusic. Vocals by Chris Bryan.

lyrics

The shame is stained in the white of my eyes Better at writin' code than talking to you guys I put my offerings in the plate, said a prayer for the lonesome ghosts But I’m still the one hunger loves the most The screen door is hanging by a rusted-out screw Lord, I’m trying to be the man that You’d want to talk to.

My soul feels empty... The well has gone dry... I’m screaming at a God I can't look in the eye!

I’m burning my life down just to see the glow If He won't hear it high, I’ll scream it down low The sky is gray as a prison wall And I’m just a man waiting on the rain to fall I’m a day too early or a life too late Guess I’ll just sit here and learn to love the wait.

I watched my father’s name fade off a headstone in the weeds Just another man buried with his catalog of needs Never had me a boy... afraid of seeing shadows in his eyes Afraid he’ll inherit all his daddy’s pretty lies I’ve got a Bible on the table, but the pages feel like stone It’s hard to feel the Spirit when you’re standing all alone.

My soul feels empty... The well has gone dry... I’m screaming at a God I just wanna look in the eye!

I’m burning my life down just to see the glow If He won't hear it high, I’ll scream it down low The sky is gray as a prison wall And I’m just a man waiting on the rain to fall I’m a day too early or a life too late Guess I’ll just sit here and learn to love the wait.

Is the clock moving fast? Is the world moving slow? I’m a ghost in the garden where nothing will grow I’m shouting at the ceiling 'til my throat starts to bleed Between what I want... and what I desperately need!

I’m a day too early... A life too late... Guess I’ll just sit here... and learn to love the wait...

God?
