lyrics

Have you ever seen hell,
Have you ever travelled down so far,
Everything seemed so lonely,
So estranged and charred.

There was truth in her eyes,
All misinterpreted and not understood.
But there were lies on her lips,
Read exactly how they should.

I found things that remind me of you.
I've written songs that are long forgot.
Left behind with a girl who couldn't sell you string.
But she could steal your heart, or at least take her shot.

Have you ever seen the depth of a river bed,
Now try exploring through a tightening cave,
There's no room to move about, the ceilings seem to change,
And you may not go back the way you came.

There was truth in her eyes,
All misinterpreted and not understood.
But there were lies on her lips,
Read exactly how they should.

I found things that remind me of you.
I've written songs that are long forgot.
Left behind with a girl who couldn't sell you string.
But she could steal your heart, or at least take her shot.

oh, Who did you think I was,
Oh, who did I think you were,
We held onto each other, grasping at feathers,
And ripping each others wings,
Till neither of us could flap those fucking wings,
Till neither of us could soar anymore

about

Jonathan Atkins Mississauga, Ontario

"A singer-songwriter with a devastating ear for harmonies and a delicate touch with lyrics that slide perfectly into a horrid winter. There's a definite Celtic touch, but far sweeter than something like Mumford & Sons." - Andrew Fifield (Metro News)
