lyrics
Somewhere there's a man with lesser gifts, but the greater will.
He spoils my every effort because my efforts are his fevered dreams.
Each new ray of sunlight burns a young, vivid hope away.
And when his eyes tear open so are my heartstrings also rent apart.
Your faith dries up like a river,
your eyes cloud over with dark,
your conscience is rattled by thunder:
show me your heart.
My soul is a martyr to this drought, my long-suffering thirst.
I am my own weakness and my weakness is an absent heart.
Get off of me. Get off of me.
Get your foot off of my throat, before I fight back.
Your faith dries up like a river,
your eyes cloud over with dark,
your conscience is rattled by thunder:
show me your heart.
War has made me a man.
He spoils my every effort because my efforts are his fevered dreams.
Each new ray of sunlight burns a young, vivid hope away.
And when his eyes tear open so are my heartstrings also rent apart.
Your faith dries up like a river,
your eyes cloud over with dark,
your conscience is rattled by thunder:
show me your heart.
My soul is a martyr to this drought, my long-suffering thirst.
I am my own weakness and my weakness is an absent heart.
Get off of me. Get off of me.
Get your foot off of my throat, before I fight back.
Your faith dries up like a river,
your eyes cloud over with dark,
your conscience is rattled by thunder:
show me your heart.
War has made me a man.

about
Always the Quiet Ones Liverpool
"Effortlessly swinging between Oceansize- esque progressive rock, Butterfly Effect-like epic alt rock or simply fuzzy Smashing Pumpkins riffing the band are close to unstoppable. Live, they are a multi-headed monster of rock, drawing sizable crowds across the Northwest and, soon, the country. Check them out now while they are playing to a hundred people rather than a thousand." --HIGH VOLTAGE ... more
