lyrics

Your eyes start to sting
Just like the back of my head
Where you hit me your bag when I
Wished you were dead and now the

Bright lights turn my thoughts from myself
and I
Wonder what he's thinking as he's
turning his head, he says

Look out I've got
someone in the back saying
Oh God, not like this!
Please another way

Praying that these head lights
won't be the last lights
I'll see something,
but I'm looking away

Muffled red light blend
in with the scene
And their glass cuts blood spills
into the street

As they run out
I guess that God had better use for them
Than that red truck did

Look out I hear someone
In the next room screaming
Oh God not like this
Please another way

Praying that these hung lights
won't be the last lights
I'll see something but I'm
Looking away

I held your hand
For the last time
I felt it go limp
as we died

Till death do us part

Look out I've got
Someone in the back saying
Oh God, not like this
Please another way...

Praying that these head lights
won't be the last lights
I'll see something but I'm
Looking away

When you said you would
by my side
I hoped you'd never mean it
The way you meant it

Oh damn it all to hell
what me and you fell into
I didn't need it
Oh God i need you

The Albatross
by Foxing

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
