Dashboard Confessional - Turpentine chaser

Tekst :

This paint has been tasting of lead
& their chips will fall as they may,
but it s not just my finish that is peeling,
& it is not alone fleeing these walls.

Well sooner of later this cold
it s gonna break
& our hands will be warm again,
but all I want is not to need you now.
And sooner or later this cold
it s gonna break
& our words will be heard again,
but all I want are vows of silence now.

This turpentine chaser s got kick
& the rag that it s soaked in is rich.
The fumes aide the pace of my cleaning
& as soon as I m done I am gone.

The frightening facts
we ve been facing our backs
for so long now
are begging for eyes
to bear witness to lies
& indifference.

Now we re saying aloud
the things we ve declared in our silence.
The new coats of paint will not reaquaint
broken hearts to broken homes.

    Harvesters of minds

    A man without a face stepped down among us
    Awakening the hope in those who were doing badly
    We, striken deaf from clapping,
    Have been drinking the blood from his mouth
    BECAUSE HE HAD A DREAM...

    Seville

    They’re gonna kill us all

    Oh sheena kneels
    And prays over the graves
    And wishes of her god to be so brave
    The roses she had picked
    Fall from her hand
    On to the ground which
    Will soon hold her

    Sheena Bella strays
    Oh, fetal Sheena counts off her last days

    Autumn tactics

    Deep river runs it s course
    To a warm horizon
    Shadows of falling leaves
    October moon and rusty skies
    Ever changing feelings
    The seeds of autumn in my mind
    Hiding sun, like the hiding sun
    Feels like its just begun
    Hiding sun, like the hiding sun
    Waiting for summer sun
    Hiding summer s age no more
    No more leaves in summer...

    Love on the run

    Like love on the run
    Like love on the run

    Chorus:
    Like love on the run there will be tommorow
    the stars and the sun every beam Ill follow
    Together were dancing all night long
    together were dancing on and on
    The sound of the drum keeps my soul depending...

    The silver sea

    Oft I wonder...
    As my mind s eye fly its own course...
    Into those places,
    that I cannot wander...

    Where are they, those dark and hidden places...
    That I cannot wander to?
    Where is the place...
    A place my mind often travel to...
    That place I fear and hate,
