"Portrait Of An Apology" lyrics
"Portrait Of An Apology"
Look what I've done
This picture I've painted
It looks like my heart
Or what still remains
Convinced of the weight
Your interpretations
Are not what I see
I wish they could be
But I remember it much redder
And I remember it much brighter
Can you stay for a while
Try to imagine this
Could you be for a while
I can't remember it
Could you fall for a while
'Cause I can't escape from this
Try to explain
The way that the frame
Doesn't quite fit the image
Or surround the edge
It stands on display
What do you see
Behold all the new grey
What's become of the old me
'Cause I remember it much redder
And I remember it much brighter
Can you stay for a while
Try to imagine this
Could you be for a while
I can't remember it
Could you fall for a while
'Cause I can't escape from this
Can you stay for a while
Calling, crying, ashamed of what I am not
Really failing, falling into this cage and I can't escape
No, I can't escape
No, I can't
So look what I've done
Picture I've painted
Doesn't quite fit
Or surround the edge
But I remember it much redder
Try to imagine this
Could you be for a while
'Cause I can't remember it
Could you fall for a while
I can't escape from this
Can you stay for a while
'Cause I can't escape
Could you be for a while
For a while
For a while
For a while
I can't, I can't escape
Can you stay for a while
Could you be for a while
Could you fall for a while
No, I can't, I can't escape
Can you stay for a while
Could you be for a while
Could you fall for a while
Can you be
Can you stay

DC Talk - "Return Of The Singer" I'm coming out like a .45
Spinning like a Wurlitzer on overdrive
Feeling like electro glide
Touch down satellite, feel all right
Tonight, return of love
Return, return of the singer
Twist me up and...
Delirious? - "Gravity" Round and round and round and round and round
Round and round and round and round and round
History sits and she tells her stories
Bitter and twisted without power
Sitting, watching, feeding her...
Mutemath - "Clipping" Feeling overload
Carrying bottled skies around
I've been drowning all along
Wearing out in a faltered sea
And I give up
Common sense failed again
Meddling in a foreign scene

John Mark McMillan - "Wilderlove" Plumbed the badlands as a child
Where the dust devils dance
On the dreams of the ivy wild
The places you grow up
The tumbling ground is rough
There is no domestic heart
Then what have we become:...
Citizens - "Strength And Beauty" Strength and beauty
Deep in our blood
We separate it
Profane the pages
Hatred taken over our eyes
And we defend it
Reform repentance
Violence stealing
Love from our lips
We justify it
Go on divided...
