Mountainville (free) 04:57
How to start? Innocent Like a gentleman, we love to say goodbye But it never meant Love to make up why And the heart is like a chest Who can open it when only with a lie we untangle it? Only you and I But say so we're more than throwing stones and promisory notes And stay so we're more than dried up bones and ordinary folks These bones don't tell me how I live And if you see a weary man that you can hardly understand Then you don't know where I've been You know our love is like a song Let me take you on You don't know how I feel you now Being this close with anyone We're on a roll, don't let me down But I won't give up on you So let me take you on 'Cause your love is like a song I used to be a lesser man A broken tongue, an avalanche I used to be a lesser man Now my foundation holds

Passengers 04:18
I've seen your face in my dreams The sight of skin alone Sight unseen And where we go No one knows Hard to say I'm anyone you'd ever want to know There's something in the darkness Out there waiting in the rain Despite my own admission And the nothing from where I came But I need you here like water in the night They're holding out for something it's time for me to fight We're all on the water And rowing to nowhere on a sea of dissension I am the poster child of nothing We're begging for answers Chasing the whispers, hiding from monsters You mean so much more than I could ever make you see You mean so much more than I could ever hope to be

Automatica 04:19
Make me a tavern of ethanol seas A hook in the darkness or shirt full of D's Am I just a body devoid of a soul? No chance to be well or hope to be whole Is anyone waiting to see if I turn out interesting? "Hello, how are you?" are such ignorant sounds This is not my crowd Not my town Look around, fatal friends These people don't care These people don't hear the simplest cry Who am I? I don't want to be here I'd rather be anything else but a lie I know now this is what you are My hand is on the wall and I feel fine
4.
So we're old enough to know that no one has all of the answers To keep my head above the ground And wait! Don't pick up the phone 'cause nobody has to know Nobody has to know I was young and misfit You were the song that I sung And the best of intentions couldn't matter 'cause we were young Could feel it in her eyes And bring me to the floor Hold around her neck Could bring me back for more But I've heard it said that all alone we were fine And we're doing fine We're old enough

The Matador 03:27
Hello, Fellow man Are you wandering today Is like an hourglass Can you bring a song that you believe? Hello, Fellow man Are you looking for the land on a barren sea? Riding on the waves of make believe You need no drug to make you clean The light is simple on St. Augustine You need no drug to burn inside No chemical bringing you to life So like a ghost: ethereal, unnatural You're not alive So stay awake to hide your bride A parasite we keep inside Raise your head and call to arms A silent prayer, a broken star The matador and bull Red is a color of pride Red is a favorite of mine
