lyrics

"HAD IT ALL" by David Guilbault

Thought I had it all.
Was ridin’ hard and tall.
Didn’t know I’d take a fall into the darkness.
Riches at my feet.
Bounties at my feast.
Didn’t worry ‘bout the beast that would devour me.

Oh, shoulda known this was my fate.
Oh, shoulda known it,
That darkness was the place that I’d make home.
That darkness was the place that I’d make home.

Yeah, once I had it all.
True mirrors in the hall,
That showed me I was all of that and more.
Called out all the shots.
Earned ev’rything I got.
What I got was a cold and frightful drowning.

Oh, wasn’t ready for the splash.
Oh, the revelation,
That darkness was the place that I’d make home.
That darkness was the place that I’d make home.

Home again.
Alone again.
With no one there to light the dark’ning pall.
With no one there to light the dark’ning pall.
With no one there to know I had it all.

Thought I had it all.
All at my beck and call.
Didn’t know I’d take a fall into the darkness.
