Song break

We are Augustines - Book of James

On a park bench sat a crimson beating heart

And behind him the girls played double dutch in the park

The sun began to burn his snow white skin

I guess you’re headin’ somewhere or endin’ up somewhere..

Storm clouds began to form in his head

And crisscrossed his mind like a restless angry ocean

And the howling of hardship and heartache

Kneeled and grinned in his face

He stood there in his boots unable to move

I drove all night here to tell you that I love you

And here lies my green eyes

Rolled back in my head, but they’re alive

And all these words can all get spoken

Well I know we tried and you’re forgiven

You’re forgiven

He made his way down the boulevard

Near the 99 cent stores and the garbage in the yards

And he began to sing

About the crickets and the backroads where we used to play

I guess you’re either headin’ somewhere or endin’ up somewhere

Cause I tried the bible, I tried the bottle,

I Tried the needle, I tried to love people

And in the end there ain’t nothin’ to say

And in the end there ain’t nothin’ you can say anyway

And I stand here in my shoes, unable to move

My hat in my hands, at the bottom of the ocean.

And here lies my green eyes

Rolled back in my head but they’re alive

And all the words can all get spoken

Well I know we tried and you’re forgiven

You’re forgiven

Saturday Song

The Naked and Famous - Young Blood

We're only young and naive still

We require certain skills

The mood it changes like the wind

Hard to control when it begins

The bittersweet between my teeth

Trying to find the in-betweens

Fall back in love eventually

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Can't help myself but count the flaws

Claw my way out through these walls

One temporary escape

Feel it start to permeate

We lie beneath the stars at night

Our hands gripping each other tight

You keep my secrets hope to die

Promises, swear them to the sky

The bittersweet between my teeth

Trying to find the in-betweens

Fall back in love eventually

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

As it withers

Brittle it shakes

Can you whisper

As it crumbles and breaks

As you shiver

Count up all your mistakes

Pair of forgivers

Let go before it's too late

Can you whisper

Can you whisper

Can you whisper

Can you whisper

The bittersweet between my teeth

Trying to find the in-betweens

Fall back in love eventually

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

The bittersweet between my teeth 

Trying to find the in-betweens

Fall back in love eventually

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

In Living Colour

Living in Colour - Frightened Rabbit

Living in colour, we're living in colour.

I can see the paint on your toes.

Living in colour and we're living

and even in the blackout, I know

I am floating, I, I am floating

With my eyes closed with no sails

I am soaking, I, I am weathered

by the winter of mixed drinks

Am I dancing, am, Am I nervous?

Simply spinning in my own grave

You were asking, you, you were asking

And with two steps, I'm saved

Living in colour, we're living in colour.

I can see the paint on your toes.

Living in colour and living

and even in the blackout, I know

Weeks gone by, I was weak

I was paler than a pine box that holds bones

She poked the iris, then she pierced a hole

and watched the colour rush forth

Modern madonna, who held my head in 

warm hands with pink nails,

mark my mouth

whisper that the sickness will go away

Living in colour, we're living in colour.

I can see the paint on your toes.

Living in colour and living

and even in the blackout, I know

And though I dreamt with a rapid eye

By day I hope to rapidly die

and have organs laid on ice

wait for somebody that would treat them right

And as the night started swallowing

you put the blood to my blue lips

forced the life through still veins

filled my heart with red again

Living in colour, we're living in colour.

I can see the paint on your toes.

Living in colour and living

and even in the blackout, I know.

Play now.

Disclaimer: I am really loving these guys right now and I had trouble picking one song to put on the blog - so the only reason i chose this one was for the cool colour pics - courtesy of we heart it.
