lyrics

Did I put myself into a lake of fire?
Or is there a special place for those who don't think it matters?
Cause in the midst of admonishment I didn't have a problem
Enjoying the miracle wine and turning it back to water

I've vandalized your prophet's writing on my shoulders
So I could wear the same mistakes that plagued our fathers
My claims reflected the change that I didn't love my brothers
I traded men the promise land in exchange for their daughters

Built a wall to prove my heart was mine to keep
Buried outside are the stories I thought I believed

When you formed these bones from clay
You should've left them there in the ground
Did you know they'd level this place
And be the salt in your wounds
While they're turning to ash in your mouth?
This feeling that's deep in my chest
And Forming a sweat on my brow
Is it the guilt of making you sick?
Cause I'm the one you regret
And There's no cure if you don't spit me out


I never sold out anyone I loved for silver
But now my loyalties seem like they're unstable
It's not like I'd deny my friends if they got into trouble
I just don't like hearing my name
come up in conversations

I'm a ship that saw the lighthouse and turned back out to sea.
All the colors of the world have bled out over me
I don't wanna escape my prison, if it means that I go free
Can you tell me if there's an end to this disease

Strange Her Fairhope, Alabama

With a live performance as energetic as the 80s DC punk scene, and music leaping off the hairy edge of the Emo/Alt Rock Revival, the coastal Alabama based Strange Her lands uniquely on the heavier end of the indie rock landscape of today, picking up the torch from groups like Taking Back Sunday and Brand New, and carrying it into a new age of the genre. ... more
