lyrics

So you know that I can't agree with
this spell you put on me with
your magic eyes that cut right through
like this is all they're 'sposed to do

And I know that it's not too late for me to
find in me the hate I need to be two
steps ahead of where you were
when I was hopelessly lost in you

I guess that I'm alive
for I still breathe
It's hard to realize
you have to leave

You have to leave

It is time for me to understand why you
do go on to be misunderstood by who
ever you don't want to get too close to you
and the life you chose

Before I go and turn my eyes away from you
and your world of lies I know just what to do
to clear my head and have the thought of you removed
because that's how it goes

I guess that I'm alive
for I still breathe
It's hard to realize
you have to leave

I guess that I'm alive
for I still breathe
It's hard to realize
you have to leave

And it looks like we've been wrong
Nothing lasts this long
It's less sad than it's true
I've had enough of you

I guess that I'm alive
for I still breathe
It's hard to realize
you have to leave

about

The Greenkeeper

Born in a city living off steel in a time when oil was scarce.
Moving to the east when the world was looking westwards.
Finding a voice in a place that wasn't listening.
Hidden in mediocrity of undeveloped sound.
Lost and forgotten.

And turned up again.
Rediscovering the spark.
Electrifying old memories.
Capturing moments of the past.
Sharing.

Simplistic in style and sound. To-the-point and raw. ... more
