lyrics

I don’t know why I can’t do the dance,
When I know time is of the essence.
When numbers weigh my hook to the floor,
I catch myself and wince when the sun pours in

Where the wind blows,
I can’t abide.
What my head knows,
I can’t turn into lies.
When the feeling glows
And the heartache grows,
I hope to weed out the stray,
Among the truths that I don’t say out loud.

I want to turn off anything on again,
Telling myself things could be different
If we just had time to fold our minds in
See the flop, turn in our cards, and keep our thoughts hidden.

Where the wind blows,
I can’t abide.
What my head knows,
I can’t turn into lies.
When the feeling glows
And the heartache grows,
I hope to weed out the stray,
Among the truths that I don’t say out loud.

Honey when the wind blows,
Hives fall down,
Out loud it’s spoke
Before it’s thought about.

Dammit every track makes me smile. How did you do that? If a friend recommends this album to you, hang on to them because they're just as fabulously messed up as you are. I'd like to thank my bank for allowing me to buy things online again. Thank you. Everyone. Thanks. duskbringer

Some catchy tracks on here, and my guy is not afraid to rip a guitar solo. Sounds like Daniel Johnston country at times, and the album cover looks like a hip-hop record. Cidimon Arustavi
