lyrics

Another accident, and accident that confidently can't be fixed.

And then it hit her with a force

Speeding up, as if he meant it. Will we ever turn submissive

To our God and Father ran in through the door.

Shook and scared, he took the stairs

And walked it off under the porch.

Swore to God he'd get Him back

And fell or fainted on the floor.

I don't want you to be someone that you're not.

When you have everything, it's easy to feel loss.

You could sleep or find that steeple,

Chase that holy feeling

Of what she branded to your brain.

When it happens for a reason, can it justify the pain.

And when it happens, can you wrap it up in any holy way?

You can't do anything about it.

You can't do anything at all.

You can't do anything about it.

You don't mean anything at...

I don't want you to be someone that you're not.

When you have everything, it's easy to feel loss.

And when it happens and no one answers,

You will lose your righteous way.

And when you shattered, like her body,

We weren't begging God to stay.

Foxing quickly became one of our biggest influences after hearing this album. We aspire to write melodies and lyrics as beautifully as they did for this masterpiece of a record. The Tempest

The Church Of The Good Thief
by Right Away, Great Captain!

Right Away, Great Captain! is thoughtful and calming. Instead of droning on about the depths of loneliness, Hull knows where to keep light and dark, with the variety to keep you from falling asleep. The Tempest
