An Outbreak Of Cholera In The Village Where My Father Grew Up (free) 03:33
lyrics
download
i was in the town where my forefathers made their homes in the sands of the river carried from the mountains of the north the silt that gave life to the trees up north when the rains fell it would seem like another world when the rains fell the fish would be left on the shore when the rains fell the river would bring with it all the people of the west fled from their homes he was 6 when they sent him away from home before he went he would sit on the banks watching the people settle on the other side they had nothing they ate what they could find even when the fish would rot they had nothing left even when the water would be overrun with waste even when the monsoons bring with it life and death the people from the west would be piling us all high in the funeral fires

i was born in small town dibrugarh my dad was out training for the rise of the bomb makers we moved where the wind would take us we moved to the city where we dealt with deal breakers i heard stories of the rising empire the godkings with their elephants for hire of old i heard of the birds that would come there as they fled their cold snow white lairs they called home we lived in a 1 room apartment my sister and me screamt over the remote next i was in love with the girl next door we would exchange our vows on secret corner floors i haven't seen her in twelve years i don't even know if i want to see her again my sister and me don't really speak no more maybe its the distance maybe we're too left alone

cars took mother into the blood red sands dad forced needles into his dark hands friends that she cant remember fall apart living in this tumbling house of cards i'm far from the demons that may haunt us drifter i spoke my minds from our curse i was arrested four times for their crimes i was arrested and a 100 lashes i paid mine they came before a wedding they came with their dogs their beards hide nothing just the scars of our hurt god came god saw god knows nothing more like the prophets he lies like they lied before if i can die for something forced on me what have you to say as you stone me i am all of 16

somewhere here where back of a townhouse we tear will you let me in red shirt and a walk to the park i will leave my thoughts in the dark colour blue a gift to choose you wanted to make up where i loose will i see now about turning and we walk and i will leave my shoes in the dark

Talking Horses (Or How To Be Somebody Else) (free) 04:00
lyrics
download
to think there was a time when we burnt our houses down to think there was a time when we used our knives out i was there to see it come down with us then i heard them talk with your voice i was there by the river asleep then i heard them scream with your voice to think there was a time when we would dress in fives to think there was a time when we would lock our eyes you were there by the trains gleaming then you heard someone else speak you were there with your arms outstreched then you turned into someone elses dream and i would rather be somewhere else i would rather be dreaming than be like you
