lyrics

With all the snares and all the traps I’ve built
I never thought I would be the one to fall in
I was so distracted by the prize
I had no idea I’d been left behind in the forest to become my own kill

Well maybe if I hadn’t been so foolish as to push you all away
I wouldn’t be here still with all the snares and all the traps I built

All I did was try to catch you out
I never knew love could be a thing to harness and then harvest
Oh, what a life I’ve missed

Well maybe if I hadn’t been so stupid as to push you all away
I wouldn’t be here still with all the snares and all the traps I built

And I’ve wasted all my time trying to convince myself I was right
But what’s the difference if another bumbling fool falls by the wayside?
And what have I to show for it but a box of my broken pride?
And all the snares and all the traps I built

Light and dark, ugly and beautiful, happy and sad, fearful and brave, the music of singer songwriter Luke James Williams reflects the opposing forces and wonderful chaos of the world around us.
