lyrics
dead branches scraping at your windows
your head is buried in your pillowcase
you never felt so tired
victory feels like a gun to your face
saw your shadow leaving in a whisper
never thought that air could hold up so much
close your eyes and make it all go away
but you can't and you hear the bad man say
"face down on the ground don't make a sound
or I'll make you wish you'd never been born
or been seen, or been heard, or were ever around"
will you come and hold me still?
and stay inside my
skin crawls
now no one can be found
sounds bring our heartbeats down
you move me...
you move me...
our daughters are asking us to make sense
hard to do when every word sounds insane
I'll do just what you like best
you make me so violent by saying your name
civil servants are taking their revenge
use their hands to make angels out of their loose change
daddy says that someday when life ends
we'll cancel each other out 'cuz we're all the same
will you come and hold me still?
and stay inside my
skin crawls
now no one can be found
sounds bring our heartbeats down
cup my hands around every little question
give my madness to all my children each by name
I live with no direction
we'll cancel each other out, 'cuz we're all the same
you move me...
you move me...
your head is buried in your pillowcase
you never felt so tired
victory feels like a gun to your face
saw your shadow leaving in a whisper
never thought that air could hold up so much
close your eyes and make it all go away
but you can't and you hear the bad man say
"face down on the ground don't make a sound
or I'll make you wish you'd never been born
or been seen, or been heard, or were ever around"
will you come and hold me still?
and stay inside my
skin crawls
now no one can be found
sounds bring our heartbeats down
you move me...
you move me...
our daughters are asking us to make sense
hard to do when every word sounds insane
I'll do just what you like best
you make me so violent by saying your name
civil servants are taking their revenge
use their hands to make angels out of their loose change
daddy says that someday when life ends
we'll cancel each other out 'cuz we're all the same
will you come and hold me still?
and stay inside my
skin crawls
now no one can be found
sounds bring our heartbeats down
cup my hands around every little question
give my madness to all my children each by name
I live with no direction
we'll cancel each other out, 'cuz we're all the same
you move me...
you move me...

They Carried The Clouds
by ParadigmThis is the last album by the first band I was ever in. It is something I am very proud of, and I think you will find it engaging, exciting, and worth coming back to again. I'm on lead vox/guitar.
