lyrics

Maybe
I'm too small to think about such big things
False kings
I'm not unique
It's just part of the age

And maybe
I've been spending too much time just worrying
About everything
The sores have taken stage
And they're killing me

And maybe
Being forgotten ain't such a bad thing
So why sing?
'Cause life's not a stage
But I keep on dancing

And maybe
I shouldn't be making strangers so happy
That's not me
I'm just holding on
To what I can show

And if you cared
You'd stop me from holding my breath too long
Or from dying another day

Low flying cameras
Hunt you down anywhere you are
And give you your crown
Cigarettes and torn shoes
Show you you've got nothing else
But they'll still wanna cheer

I never thought I would end up losing my patience
And make my art in a day or two for new kicks
You'll hold onto your rope while you light up a smoke
In the end you'll be gone
And then no one remembers your name

The album opens with the soft, almost hymnal chords from a piano, building at times to melodic cacophony (complimentary) before settling back down in it's final track. The vivid lyricism and powerful vocals throughout are incredible. Well worth picking up!! Sav
