lyrics

You may be a heartbreaker
But that's not enough of a deal-breaker
To give up on our hundred acres
And our palace in the hills

You can still be a troublemaker
But why not a risk-taker
Don't have to put our love on paper
If that's what's giving you the chills

What I'm trying to say is we've got nothing left to lose
I'll choose to forget you left me battered and bruised
My heart's still confused, boozed and abused
But I've got room on my body for a few more tattoos

Excuse me if I don't see it from your jaded point of view
I don't mean to be rude, don't mean to intrude
But despite what you assume or pretend to presume
Just cause we're screwed up that don't mean that we're screwed

This city's gotten weird
Ever since you disappeared
Seems like what I feared
Is rising up with a sneer

This glass is all smeared
But I still trust my ears
And I hear that the end may be near
But not the kind that you think

When they've lit the fuse and the apocalypse blooms
When the earth seals her womb, the dead climb from their tombs
The whole world's come unglued but I've built this canoe
And I'll follow this river till it leads me to you

Your memory imbues me with the strength to get through
I'll float through these ruins and shadowy plumes
Past crippled survivors scrounging for food
Black fire consumes all the lies we construed

What I'm trying to say is we've got nothing left to lose
We'll settle our feud as history concludes
The sky's lost its blue, it's got a new kind of hue
We'll hold on to each other and enjoy the view

Tyler Taylor Boulder, Colorado

Hi, I'm Tyler. You may know me from my band, The Amends. I'm pretty sure you must if you've found your way here. I made this site so that I could have a place to quietly share my older songs (ones I mostly wrote before founding The Amends with Drew) with anyone who's interested. I recorded and played these myself, so forgive the varying sound quality. All songs are technically free. ... more
