about

Sitting on a couch at their drug dealers house, 5 young men with the world in their hands decided to start a rock n' roll band. "You play bass, you play keys, you play drums and Dylan he sings." Songs that are fun with beats that make you dance. Songs that are emotional drawing the world at a glance. That is the band, Popular Tongues, whose songs still play even after the show is done. ... more

Track Name: The One pt. II
I've been wondering why I'm a target

Sure with my morals I've been lethargic

But I've seen worse men crawling in the dark

and God's PR tells me I gotta play the part


All these possessions I have are forsaken

Repo men come and I can't be woken

Up, it's luck, I'm not already dead

But they're coming back for my head


I've been dreaming about all the different things I wanna do

Can't get nothing done when I hang around with you


I've been worried about my soul retribution

Who's gonna be there at my execution

You dressed up and got a front row seat

God help us all if I get a chance to speak


I'm working on an invention

To get me out of heaven's detention

So stop selling me because I'm not a buyer

After all this, no one's gonna call me a liar


I've been dreaming about all the different things I wanna do

Can't get nothing done when i hang around with you


You're the last true soul

In a bath of snakes

Chasing the past

And always too late

It's steel against concrete

My last words on repeat


So maybe I could stay a while

Maybe I'm just in denial

Maybe I could settle down

Maybe I could stick around and it might just change


I've spent my life fighting with fate

Wasting away on pointless dedications

There's a chance that I

There's a chance that I

won't leave with haste


Baby I know I've been acting strange

Just flip a switch inside this

Uncooperative Brain

I've got a promise that I

I've got a promise that I

won't ever be the same


I threw away my prescription

Now I can't tell fact from fiction

But I like it better this way anyway

there's no script for what I'm about to say


Before now I was boxed in a corner

Weighed down by the men on my shoulder

But take that scorn out of your eye

I'm freer now that I'm not afraid to die
Track Name: No Decision
Hey coach, give me some playing time

What good am I? Training

Just for standing in line

Don't you know I can put 'em away?

Don't you know I can sit 'em down?

She's in the stands tonight

And I gotta make her proud


She's got a face like silence

A gaze that transcends

What it means to be a man, these day

You waste a good ol' time

Wondering if these walls have seen something better

Waiting for Time to throw you back to the pitcher

Oh, but ain't it a bitch?

When you see the final score

And the cheerleaders don't ask for more

They leave as soon as the last call comes, they leave as soon as the last call comes

And the players follow them

With tumors in their eyes


And I can feel the current

When I stand upon the mound

And though she's never on the field

She's always on the highlight reel

Never just a face in the crowd


Hey coach, let me paint the black

So what if I, always hate keeping track of

What I've said or done

You hang around till it's no more fun, you hang around till it's no more fun

Whether you've lost or won

You're headed home, you're headed home

Whether you've lost or won


And I can feel the current

When I stand upon the mound

And though she's never on the field

She's always on the highlight reel

Never just a face in the crowd


You waste a good ol' time

Wondering if these walls have seen something better

Waiting for Time to throw you back to the pitcher

Oh, but ain't it a bitch?

When you see the final score

And the cheerleaders don't ask for more

They leave as soon as the last call comes, they leave as soon as the last call comes

And the players follow them

With tumors in their eyes

I never thought I'd be one of them

I never thought I'd be one of them

I never thought I'd be one of them

Oh, I never thought

I'd be one of them


Hey coach, let me throw the heat!

'Cos it's the, only thing

That makes me feel complete

So say my name over the PA

Because I know you need me out there today

And I promise you that I'll throw ok

Throw ok

Throw ok
Track Name: Kismet, KS
Welcome to Kismet Kansas,

We've got everything you need

A book store on the corner

A story without a lead


Say hello to the doorman

Leave behind the shallow stares

Finally a place where they're bold enough to care


Kismet, Kansas,

it was our destiny to meet

A land without border

and no retreat


Welcome to Kismet, Kansas,

We hope you stay a while

We've got dinner on the table

and people quick to smile


And let them know their past loves

Were somehow worth it after all

They circle around above

Waiting to descend to


Kismet, Kansas,

it was our destiny to meet

A land without borders

and no retreat

Kismet Kansas,

Heaven knows I wanna be far away

But that sky's begging me to stay


A sunny place for those who can't stop looking back

Can't stop looking back

And even those who chose, to get over it fast

Their hearts are still so cracked, still so cracked

But still, who


Knows how long this fantasy can last

A play's only good as its cast

And these cornerstones and bakeries

That make up the local scenery

Are a poor excuse for what's left of the past


So come to Kismet Kansas

Where your memories survive

Your friends are all around you

And there's no reason to hide
