lyrics

I can smell their cigarettes again,
I’ve been afraid before and can’t remember when.
I wish sometimes that I could make you laugh the way You do when you’re out of breath,
And I wish that I could tell the truth the way you do; It’ll be the death of me.

But I’ll keep burning candles when the power comes Back on, a month of Sundays just went by.
That’s a month of Mondays gone
That I’ve been staring at the phone,
Telling people lies like I never find the time,
And it’s a blessing rain can baptize liars.

If she gives like porcelain these days, you can call my Name you know that it won’t change.
And there ain’t no shame in keeping me awake.
It’s the morning getting closer,
Not the moon that I can’t take.

My escape just plots itself, no matter what I do.
I pay the price of being happy
Against the cost of loving you,
And I don't hide my apathy
When I need a talkin' to.
It's like I've got a thousand horses
And all I need is a mule.

If she gives like porcelain these days, you can call my Name you know that it won’t change.
And there ain’t no shame in keeping me awake.
It’s the morning getting closer,
Not the moon that I can’t take.

Writing, recording, and producing all of their own music in a basement (endearingly referred to as "The Bossmont") in Decatur, AL, they have come to represent a truly homegrown sound that is greater than the sum of its parts. ... more
