di Mineral

a brave morning
thoughts flap their wings and fly
and i can still taste defeat on my lips
bright tie fish fly
i have not yet arrived
how can i not admit
i need to know you
cause i just want to be something more than the mud
in your eyes
i want to be the clay in your hands
hey sorrow where are you tomorrow
just won't be the same without you here
i'll wish for shoulders bold and broad
to bear and strength to hold my head
above them cause i just want to be something more than the mud
in your eyes
i want to be the clay in your hands
cause gloria is silent
gloria is silent
gloria is silent
and glory is a silent thing.
Il tuo voto:
Lemonade stands and memories
Of innocence and purity
And the noonday sun at ninety degrees
The things I carry with me

The ice cream man at four or five
How'd we flag him down and ask for rides
And evenings when we'd sit outside
And name the cloud shapes in the sky

Those days are gone now and we must carry on
But I will not forget the things I learned on your front lawn

And how we rode those dusty trails
On Huffys and Schwinns from Christmas sales
Made forts out of crates with rusty nails
And only came home when our stomachs failed

Those days are gone now and we must move forward still
But I will not forget the things I understood at your window sill

I walked your street again last night
And laughed to dull the sting of spite
But your door was dark and it made me cry
Cause mother always kept you shining bright

But things they change and people grow
And move in step with the green paper flow
But deep inside I wonder or maybe I already know
They they never really find the answers
Il tuo voto:
i wouldn't mind if you took me in my sleep tonight
i wouldn't even put up a fight
i wouldn't care if you took it all away today
i'm sure i wouldn't even miss the pain
but i know i've got to live my life and roll around on the ground
and feel the strife and realize along the way
that i'm nothing more than a grain of salt in the salt of the earth
and everything is grace
so come on with the darkness
come on with the fear
cause i've got to start somewhere
and it might as well be here
and when i'm finally naked and standing in the sunlight
i'll look back at all this selfishness and foolish pride
and laugh at myself.
