about

Clark wrote this song after completing FebFast (no alcohol for a month) this detox ballad popped out in just one or two writing sessions. "I’m with Monroe on a downhill incline blow-out"...

lyrics

I can’t take another drought
This dry spell has strung me out
Just one to debrief the day
Three or four, push away the pain
When six strikes, I’d better slow
Eight measures writing off tomorrow
  Losing it gracefully 
Losing it
Just like quitting cigarettes 
Waking up in cold turkey sweats
 One more whiff of freedoms cloud  I stretch the rolling ritual 
Up the filter into full strength  
Wide awake in a tarry dream of innocence
  Losing it gracefully
Losing it
 I’m with Monroe on a downhill incline blow-out 
Unstitched at the seams and need my costume let out
 This figure eight gait on platform heels is sliding in the cracks
And I’m unwrapping spectacularly

Losing it gracefully

I’m with Monroe on a downhill incline blow-out
 Unstitched at the seams and need my costume let out 
Just yesterday was chicken broth and lemongrass tea
Now I’m unraveling here quietly

Losing it gracefully
Losing it
