It seems so perfect in my mind Every last moment frozen in time The simple fact of the matter its all in my mind Its still a lie Here we are like the changing tide The ups and the downs, the lovers quarrels and fights But the simple fact of the matter its all in your mind The fears, theyre all lies My words fill your screen a fleeting sign Easily ignored but it passes the time And the simple fact of the matter they were just lies The truth is still in my mind (Chorus) No one would be wiser if we have June in winter Lets run away with the sun As long as I remember we can have June in winter Melt the snow with our love

Flow 04:16
Look me in the eyes tell me what you see Can you read me, is it me you see Sometimes a book is hard to read When you open the cover, do the words bleed You're as high as the moon stuck on the surface as I swoon Once I build me a rocket Ill meet you there Float among the stars just to say I was Close enough to stare It feel likes it's only us in the universe divide As long as you stay right here by my side But if we were to part upon re-entery meet me on the ocean floor, lay down beside me (chorus) If I were to drown would you take me by the hand Or would you be afraid to swing If I were to burn would you cover me with sand Or would you stand at a distance and scream you can't

Let me look through the eyes of the innocence once more Let my heart beat wildly until it's sore Save me from the drop of a ten thousand mile fall and maybe, just maybe, I'll find the strength to crawl I don't always say the things I've said times before Allow me to hold my tongue and call me a coward but throw me to the sharks and I'll slowly learn to fish My thoughts as bait I'll throw back each catch We can play like children on a hot summer day Forget about our worries and run our cares away Before we part I've got one thing to say Cherish this moment because it's surely meant to stray (chorus) I aim to reinvent the way I feel Maybe redirect the wheel I hope this fantasy is real I hope this fantasy is real

Pearly Gates 04:49
Let me tell you about a man who some time lost his way He would go to the local bars and drink his cares away He would stumble around the town he meant no ill will But the towns people would shoot him looks, looks that could kill He would sit the darkest corner all by himself He would watch all the townspeople drink from the top shelf and he'd say Go on and laugh go on and play Go on and have your way While you waiting at those pearly gates I won't have to wait Every once in a great while he'd utter some words but no one paid him much attention to his profound verse and he'd say Go on and laugh go on and play Go on and have your way While you waiting at those pearly gates I won't have to wait Let me tell you about a man who some time lost his way He would go to the local bars and this is what he'd say I've seen my share of sinners, I've seen my share of saint They all ate off the same plate and treated me the same way So.. Go on and laugh go on and play Go on and have your way While you waiting at those pearly gates I won't have to wait

I've seen the end of days and all the different ways people can be beaten to the ground I've seen liars and thieves and everything in between with sounds from no where around The world is ablaze and I can't light my smoke the flames are cold in the fray so I go for my bottle but my bottle seems dry as I hope for better days I've seen the sky turn red and a pack of sheep lead by a man with a golden book I've seen angels fall and devils rise to power without as much as a second look The world is ablaze and I can't light my smoke the flames are cold in the fray so I go for my bottle but my bottle seems dry as I hope for better days

about

Swamp Rats Sebring, Florida

Swamp Rats takes intricate clawhammer banjo and blends it with a driving punk rhythm fronted by gritty & soothing harmonizing vocals. Some have said the music sounds like a type of haunted that makes them happy. Folk with an edge is what most people say about Florida's "Phantom" folk band Swamp Rats. ... more
