lyrics

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

Popular Tongues Chicago, Illinois

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
