Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song as I was trying to explore the oscillating nature of my anxiety and fears and recurring bouts of existential dread. I also wanted to write a rock/blues inspired song but not with swamps or deserts as the background, but my frozen tundra of a homeland. The glaciers and black sands. It has it's own blues.
Song Description
A song about the facing of one's pain and trying to find a way to accept it as part of life's journey. But still there's always the looming anxiety.

Lyrics
Broken glass
Torn up curtains
I feel it in my heart
Here comes the hurting
She's a crocodile
Under the surface
She greets me with a smile
Here comes the hurting
She knows my soul
And she knows it's troubles
I kept it in the hole
But here comes the hurting
She come slow
But she comes for certain
She never lets me go
Here comes the hurting
Everybody's got a devil to drag
Everybody's got some dirt in their bag
Show me how to hold a shattered heart
I did wrong
Got no excuses.
I've held on for too long
And here comes the hurting
