Don’t sway everyone’s the same in here
Don’t stay no I cannot stand it in here
But don’t say to me that everything will be ok
I can’t see no light through this stained glass window
Today

Choke myself on my own tears
And now they have run dry
But I’m trying so hard to stop asking why
Can’t I change the way things worked out?

But I can’t think no more these years have all run dry
Now that I’m throwing dirt to stop this pain inside
And this black hole I see in the ground gets bigger
And it swallows me up and all the people with it endgame

These walls keep on closing in on me
I’m scared and finding it so hard to breathe
My hearts beating fast as all the anger builds up
Inside
I can’t change this guilty feeling I have I hide

Choke myself on my own tears
And now they have run dry
But I’m trying so hard to stop asking why
Can’t I change the way things worked out?

But I can’t think no more these years have all run dry
Now that I’m throwing dirt to stop this pain inside
And this black hole I see in the ground gets bigger
And it swallows me up and all the people with it endgame

Choke myself on my own tears
And now they have run dry
But I’m trying so hard to stop asking why
Can’t I change the way things worked out?

But I can’t think no more these years have all run dry
Now that I’m throwing dirt to stop this pain inside
And this black hole I see in the ground gets bigger
And it swallows me up and all the people with it endgame
Endgame

LYRICS

I have never touched you
But you're still here
Our lives are stuck
Words disappear
I have never kissed you
I never will
I see your picture
I Fall asleep

But you still guide me
Between the bars
You say “you are stronger
Than you think you are”

Your words are far away
We fly and fall like rain
My lover, I feel no pain
My lover, I see your name

And I’m so scared
To hear your voice
But I’m prepared
To leave this void
You understand
You see beyond
Why did it take you so long

But you still guide me
Between the bars
You say “you are stronger
Than you think you are”

Your words are far away
We fly and fall like rain
My lover, I feel no pain
My lover, I see your name

Fly and Fall

Determination Of Exploration

This is one of the many fun covers we recorded for our second lockdown album "Allá voy de nuevo" (Here I go again). We tried to make an old school The Specials/Madness-esque ska arrangement, but ended up with something closer to Reel Big Fish (not that we are complaining, they rock!).

That album is available on bandcamp:
franklloydperu.bandcamp.com/album/all-voy-de-nuevo
Please, check it out :)

Too Late For Goodbyes

This is  "The Center Of It All"   Sooo.. again, this is very different. When we first had the idea we thought of the stars and outer space. And then there was the amazing solar eclipse.   I thought of Copernicus studying the stars and trying to figure why Ptolemy's conclusions just didn't work. I thought of this while watching a show about Copernicus trying to figure out why Ptolemy's conclusions didn't work.   But, that is when I put the words onto the track. Again, this is very different. But different is what Dan and Dan does!! We hope that you like this.

Lyrics;
Aren't we the center of it all?

At the center of it all
Believe and know what's real
Truth is found through faith
Respectfully they kneel

The night reveals the heavens
The light from stars will show
They circle round the earth
As all believe they know

Believe they know..

Before the days of Galileo 
When stars were magnified 
Certain of the certainties
That Ptolemy supplied 

At the center of it all
A canon of the church
A mind is filled with questions 
For answers he will search

Looking toward the heavens
Underneath dark skies
An answer to his question 
through unaided eyes

Capernicus observes the sky
A challenge to the Way
The universe is known to be
By the believers of the day

Aren't we the center of it all?

At the center of it all
New truth that will confound
Theologians and scholars 
For new findings have been found

Earth goes around the sun
The old beliefs would fall
When a faithful servant's search had found 
The center of it all 

Aren't we the center of it all?

Aren't we the center of it all?

Aren't we?

Aren't we..
