"The Convert" lyrics
"The Convert"
I forgot I was loving you
Disappeared for an hour or two
And I came to on a cold, wood floor
And I didn't feel so good anymore
Now we clasp our hands
And we make demands
That the clouds will say what's wrong with you now
And we had big plans
Now alone we stand
In the crowd and they're not even laughing out loud
They don't care
I'll shut my eyes and let tv
Whisper, laugh and talk to me
And I'll curl up tight inside my head
Killing time 'til the whole day is dead
And I'll clasp my hands
And I'll make demands
That the clouds are asking what's wrong with him now
And I had big plans
Now alone I stand
In the crowd and they're not even laughing out loud
They don't care
God, take that sound away
If you've got something to say
Say it now
It's fake and I need you not to be fake
And don't care how you make me feel
Just so you're real
Once I saw my face in a bathroom mirror
And I didn't know that I was here
But I knew my eyes and I knew my hands
I knew God would now listen to all my demands
And the sky opened up
And God interrupted
The Earth stopped dying and stopped giving birth
And when I came to on the cold, wood floor
Well, I didn't feel so good anymore
And all that sure love
And all their sweet words
I'd forgotten I'd felt and forgotten I'd heard
That was was clear
And is now so blurred and smeared
And your love felt more pure
And your love felt more pure once your voice disappeared

Calexico - "Harness The Wind" Do you dream of flying
At the speed of light?
Shooting for the moon
Another lonely night
You get so high
Don't wanna come back down
To a world of problems
With answers never found
Are we just...
Strand Of Oaks - "Somewhere In Chicago" Where you gonna hide when the mist is gone?
Take it out back and use it in a song
Scream into a pillow so she can't hear you
Drop it in the water and I still miss you

Sun Kil Moon - "That Bird Has A Broken Wing" Foghorns blowing, all day sirens,
Long trip, still unwinding.
Had trouble getting out of bed,
Basked in the grey of fog instead.
Phone rang, sun ain't shining,
City I live, uphill and trying.
Walked...
Great Lake Swimmers - "Zero In The City" Oh, you've been here before
Minus one, split and it’s done
Getting up every day
Minus one every way
Oh, but nothing’s the same
Minus two, no one to blame
Minus one in the street
A conceit in...
Murder By Death - "Lost River" Hush now creature, dry your eyes.
I know a place where a body can hide.
Ooh, I know a place where a body can hide.
Last time I saw you, our table was bare.
If you hurry & join me, I will lead you...
