lyrics
As I walk these lonely streets, I think of how I came to be
A vessel in this place, yearning for the unknown piece,
Underneath the tree, is where I sit and ponder these
Questions that I seek and how they won’t let me be
And I, I try,
But there’s just no sense in waiting for the light,
Of the day, cause it will fade…
But you learn to find your soul in shades of grey
As I mute these silent thoughts, I wonder if I could be,
Expressive through my faults, and not by how I can’t agree..
To everything I ’ought, I guess there’s just no vacancy,
But perhaps I can be taught, to think for you and not for me....
And I, I try,
But there’s no place in this world for those who shy
Away, from the lie
But I can’t be down to earth when I’m so high...
Woahh, and as my mind recedes…
I finally see what I couldn’t see
Woahh, when all I got is me…
I finally see that I can be free
That I can be free
As I try to find my place, I see myself inside a cell,
Of undivided space, where I can think and dream and dwell..
Of a life where nothings bound, to earth and sky or sand and see,
But now I hear the sound, It’s got to be you and me…
And I, I try,
But there’s just no sense in waiting for the light,
Of the day, cause it will fade…
But you learn to find your soul in shades of grey
Woahh, and as my mind recedes…
I finally see what I couldn’t see
Woahh, when all I got is me…
I finally see that I can be free
That I can be free

2011, I saw a band I never heard of from Buffalo, NY. It changed my musical life forever. They are the hardest working band that I know of and if you ever get a chance to see them live you'll understand what I'm saying. Pick any song, listen to it....and I'll see you at the next show :) Brian Thompson
This album has everything. Rock, metal, funk, country(???), Sunshine of Your Love, comedy. It goes so hard, every song is amazing. One of my favourite albums of all time. sheephair
