The "Cardinal's Inn" is a play on words: Cardinal sin. This is a song about spouses who show up so often to the same seedy motel that it's taken on a different name. It could work in any genre. It's a little on the upbeat side, the way I wrote it.

This lyric could be about a relationship, or just a friendship where the person doesn't care that you're caught in a web so to speak. Time and time again they let you down, but you keep going back for more. They find it amusing that you do, and they turn up the heat and do it even more. Basically they don't care at all, and think it's funny that you try so hard and they have total control over you. This happens all too often in relationship and friendships. That's because people are so consumed with themselves, it's so selfish that they take whatever they can get from a friendship or a relationship and just keep on going without reciprocating.

This lyric is about the state of the world today. It's so sad how there's so much hate, violence, war, greed, and there are so many who are in denial of all of that. The people who spread the conspiracy theories the far right and the far left who are so extreme. They can't see what's right in front of them which is a world that's in peril and going down fast. This next year 2023, will be a huge test for everyone in the world. I feel like we're on the brick of something really bad, like a world war, and it's up to the people who see all of this to intervene in some way. It would be so sad to watch this world go to hell in a handbasket, unfortunately that's where we're headed if some things don't change fast.

This lyric is about an old saying or cliche if you will, when the shit hits the fan. It's about getting up everyday and living your life like you were in a time capsule that was suspended. It's like living in the movie groundhog Day. You just an average guy, or gal, who gets upand does the same thing day in and day out, and knows that it's a grind. It's also about people that end up losing their jobs because a company takes their business overseas or just lays you off so that the CEOs can make more profit. That's when the shit hits the fan. And it's not if it's going to, it's when it's going to. The world today is all about greed and making more money for the rich. The average guy or gal, is just going through the motions day in and day out living paycheck to paycheck, just waiting for that day when they're on the unemployment line. That's when the shit hits the fan.

This lyric is about a question that I've asked myself for a lot of my life. Where do I fit in? I think that's been something that I've contemplated over and over again and not been able to determine the answer. Throughout my years of addiction, my lack of ease of who I am That question was at the forefront of my mind and my life. When you don't know where you fit in you do feel like you walking around aimlessly trying to find a place in the world. I know that's true even now when I'm sober. Sometimes I know that I just have to accept where I am in life as where I'm supposed to be, and then things become a little bit clearer for me. But that's a challenge that I face everyday. So it has to do with where other people think I should be or what I should be, and the other part has to do with where I think I should be or what I should be. But I do try everyday just to accept that I am who I am, and I'm where I'm supposed to be.
