Kennedy, Myles - Haunted By Design Lyrics






Lately I've been losing sleep
Haunted by design
I'm my own worst enemy
When I try to close my eyes
Voices in my weary head
They never let me be
Turning every fear and dread
From a whisper to a scream

I keep searching
I can't find
Any kind of respite from the noise inside
The clock is laughing
Don't ask me why
In the halls of my mind
I'm still haunted by design
Haunted by design

Restless scenes and fever dreams
They're never giving way
When I should be counting sheep
I'm counting my last days
Soon the morning sun will rise
To overtake the moon
Like the ghost of death arrived
And took my love too soon

I keep searching
I can't find
Any kind of respite from the noise inside
The clock is laughing
Don't ask me why
In the halls of my mind
I'm still haunted by design
Haunted by design

Those who worry suffer twice
This I must concede
I think it's time to close my eyes
Slumber, rescue me (yeah)

I keep searching
I can't find
Any kind of respite from the noise inside
The clock is laughing
Don't ask me why
In the halls of my mind
I'm still haunted by design
Haunted by design
I'm haunted by design
Haunted by design

    This song is great. Anyone saying otherwise has an agenda against music.

  3. W.... U....

    I could listen to this album all day.

  4. A.... M....

    Beautiful song. Jerry Reed would be most pleased with the solo!

  5. U.... 2....

    that solo

  6. v.... v....

    could totally relate to what I'm going through... awesome work Myles!!

  7. C.... S....

    This feels like a homage to Chris Cornell's 'Euphoria Morning' solo album in places. More upbeat but similar acoustics and vocals. Wish I could've heard the two together

  8. K.... M....

    I love Myles Kennedy but this shit bores the fuck out of me!!

  9. C.... S....

    This is a really cool detour for Miles :D

  10. J.... D....

    We massively appreciate all the work you do Myles.

  11. A.... M....

    Myles is like Eddie Vedder, he Rocks with his band and unleashes his artistic qualities in this album!
    One of the best around right now.

  12. Z.... A....

    I don't know, but most of the songs of this album are country

  13. A.... ....

    This is not Alter Bridge nor is it Slash> This is Myles kennedy !! So yes it's different. If you look on Myles's youtube channel you will see a mini documentary about this album, it's a very personal album for him. Myles has a great voice, and heaps of talent, but above all he is a really nice guy 🕉

  14. T.... ....

    This song has been in the halls of my mind since I first heard it played on KLPW 92.7 FM. I love it!

  15. F.... V....

    The tinnitus is his "noise inside", he and I, we both share the same haunting noise "by design".
    It's freaking hard for a musician to deal with this damned noise in our ears 24/7.
    Personally, I see in this song all his suffering. Besides of that, it's such a beautiful song, and the great album!

  16. C.... B....

    this is my absolute favourite song of his i cant get enough

  17. D.... D....

    Eu amo essa música! ❤

    I love that song! ❤

  18. A.... S....

    Great track!! Haunted by design <3

  19. Y.... ....

    Love it. I like how you and tremonti are doin your own thing now. Its a good change in my opinion.

  20. T.... A....

    All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. No one does good. Not even one. Together we have become useless. All of us have gone astray, everyone has turned to his own way, but the Lord has layed on Him(Jesus) the iniquity of us all. When we break God's laws it is sin. We are all sinners, and the wages of sin is death. But God chose to show mercy by coming down in the flesh as Jesus Christ, live the sinless life we could not, and all to die on our behalf for all the wickedness and sin we had done. He took the punishment we deserved. When it was finished He rose again, being seen by many. Jesus saves us from Hell, from His own wrath against sinners. When Jesus rose He imparted in us His Holy Spirit so that we can be seen as righteous in the God's eyes. All we have to do to be saved is believe and trust on the Lord Jesus Christ and His work on the cross where He paid your debt of sin. God is the one that then gives you a new mind that wants to do right and live righteously. God in His mercy did not give us what we deserve but gives grace, something we do not deserve. The ability and power to conquer sin. If you dont trust in Jesus then God only sees your sin and all you still have is wrath.

  21. G.... ....

    My favourite song from YOTT.

  22. B.... W....

    This is great. I fucking love you Myles. My favorite lyricist and singer today and that's a huge compliment because I'm a vintage RockNRoll fan.

    Best album of 2017-2018

  24. H.... ....

    Love this album

  25. T.... W....

  34. M.... ....

    A schizophrenic can really relate to these lyrics

  35. A.... o....

  36. R.... O....

    Probably this is not the best musical genre for his full voice potential but, WOW, it's freaking amazing anyway.

  37. M.... N....

    Fantastic, Brilliant Artist! Love this Song, relates to my bouts of Insomnia. Year of the Tiger, another Great. Great Job, Myles K. Might see you around in the PNW.

  38. y.... ....

    Myles makes me want to kidnap him, to just put him on a pedestal in the corner of my living room with a guitar in hand and I'll be sitting there like : Sing for meeeee.
    Just love his voice so much <3 ... Keep up the good work !

  52. s.... ....

    Beautiful Lyrics! They say it all. So true. 😀💕

  76. G.... L....

    Don't like Year Of The Tiger at all but this song caught me.

  77. J.... B....

    Sounds like the theme song for something Netflix would make.

  78. S.... S....

    What a fucking song! Awesome!

  79. S.... W....

    completely different from what he did (mayfield, alter bridge, slash) so far.

  80. M.... S....

    Je découvre cet artiste , et ça me plaît beaucoup , super voix , super musique , extra ! ! !

  81. G.... E....

    Genre defying!!!! Love it!!

  82. 7.... ....

    I really like your music style. I'll hope u come to Austria in this year.
    Myles you're one of the best musicians of the entire world. I really love your music with or without Alter Bridge.

  83. j.... ....

    Nobody else is worried about this guy? The grim reaper follows him in the video.
    I predicted his solo album and suicide this year. I hope I'm wrong about one!

    j.... ....

    Maybe too much pressure put on him but it’s also his design as he puts it..

  84. V.... c....

    Myles Kennedy lançando clipe. Ritchie Kotzen lançando clipe. Ganhei minha semana.

  85. B.... B....

    I like the vibe....a departure from his other gigs! That’s what I like to hear from an artist that puts out a solo album. If it sounds too much like Alterbridge or the Slash stuff....what’s the point? I like it!

  86. Q.... S....

    good for him, different...nice, catchy, melodic...serious subject matter, just breathe Myles...and good luck on your journey

  87. S.... B....

    Seems unique

  88. M.... M....

    Best vocalist of this generation IMO by far

  89. d.... c....

    Genius...👍🏻

  90. N.... ....

    Can't help but think of Cornell when I listen to this, and that's not a bad thing. Really great stuff.

  91. R.... G....

    True talent, written from the heart and soul of a true musician. Who could ask for more! Keep it up Myles

  92. P.... K....

    I honestly close my eyes and could hear Zakk Wylde/Black Label Society playing this song.

    P.... K....

    meant as a compliment.

  93. a.... ....

    It's as if Myles reads my mind and pens the lyrics just for me. He has a song for everything I've ever felt. Am I the only one that feels this way?

  94. j.... s....

    muy bueno lo del loco myles

  95. L.... G....

    Very awesome track.✌👍

  96. B.... V....

    Why blues?

  97. t.... ....

    Myles' lyric writing ability is stunning.

  98. D.... S....

    Wow this is going to be amazing album !!!

  99. R.... F....

    Damn Myles. Another killer track. ❤️

  100. J.... D....

    ALL HAIL MYLES KENNEDY...
