lyrics

These days what are we people made of
Sullen stone eyes, sunken smiles so devoid of love
Every grin full to the brim of that plastic sincerity
and it's still killing me

Don't run away from the heartache
Hiding away while you fantasize, realize
Just what recovery will take
More than a man without compromise

(Starry skies) They echo the stars in your eyes
Holding the thoughts of thousand fractured nights
Seeing past, the future blinds
And burns away all the innocence left inside

The manequin, so chagrin, plaster left in pieces
Taped together to keep the last of hope inside
As every part soon falls away under gravity
The heart, it atrophies

Don't run away from the heartache
Hiding away while you fantasize, realize
Just what recovery will take
More than a man without compromise, starry

(Starry skies) They echo the stars in your eyes
Holding the thoughts of thousand fractured nights
Seeing past, the future blinds
And burns away all the innocence left inside

The manequin grins ith mouth full of lies
While the tourniquet twists and then renders them blind
Holding on to the thought of a thousand fractured nights
While it burns all the innocence left inside

Take it back

Diamond Days & Firenights [2 LP]
by The Last Domino

An alternative/acoustic one-man band with a voice to die for. One of the artists I respect the most. This album is my personal favorite. LuizA 177

Varia Suite
by Metroid Metal

A album full of killer, ROCKING arrangements of Metroid tracks by some friends of mine. If you like metal and video game music, this is where it's at! LuizA 177
