Little Ride
03:46

When I go out alone - ok I really don’t -
I just wait for the nearest flock to pass me by.
And I can be your bird of a feather
Until the wind blows me out of your sky.
Take me on this little ride
That you pass off for a life.
Empty are the days - filled with less, the nights -
Building blocks for this wall that keeps me out of sight.
scour the town, ring the fire bells,
there’s a soul gone missing down a wishing well.
Take me on this little ride
that you pass off for a life.

Island in the Sea
04:07

I wish I was born on an island in the sea.
Then all these waves that crash around
Wouldn’t sound so strange,
They wouldn’t sound so strange to me.
I wish I was raised on a mountain in the sky.
Then all these things that conspire and try
To bring me down,
They would seem so far below.
When I feel down, and I am forlorn,
I have come this far, how can I ask for more.
I wish I could see my life through your eyes,
Know what you know and taste your surprise.
When I let you down,
I curl up.
I wish I could die with a song in my heart,
Your hand in mine and the knowledge we sought.
When I go down I could know
That we had done all right
When I feel down, and I am forlorn,
I have come this far, how can I ask for more.

Simple Mission
04:23
|

|
You’re ushered in the doors,
The silhouettes surround you.
Words lost in noise
From a voice you never knew.
Your mission is simple;
You carry it out
With passion and precision,
But you have your doubts.
You expect to find
A face at every turn.
They’re coming out in force.
When will you learn.
Target acquired,
I’ve got my sights on.
A façade of gladness
In a polished social mold.
But before I can speak,
the words catch in my throat.
The pretense is over,
I see the colors of your coat.
You expect to find
A face at every turn.
They’re coming out in force.
When will you learn.
And then the lights come on and we shuffle toward the door.
This has gone on far too long, and its time for you to go home.
Why do I let myself believe these silly lies?
Expectation lets you down if you can’t get past those eyes.

Afraid to Fall
04:05
|
|||
|
A colander on my head
And a cape around my back.
The pirate ship in the backyard
Is under attack.
Oh for six again
When the world is small.
I’m not afraid to walk to the edge;
I’m not afraid to fall.
Oh for those autumn nights,
When the only fear he knows
Is the look in her eyes
When he takes her hand for the first time.
Oh for seventeen,
When the world is mine.
I’m not afraid to take it all on;
I’m not afraid to pretend it’s mine.
Oh for anywhere,
Than right here right now.
The heart breaking by my side
Is getting too loud.
And all I see now
Are closing doors.
You’re not allowed to dream
Anymore.
Oh for those autumn nights
And the cape around my back.
I am seeing now
There’s no going back.

Yellow Light
03:32
|
|||
|
Like a yellow light,
I’m not sure I think it’s right
For me to push this on ahead
Or to take it slow.
And I have lost
Your affections tonight.
I am lost, oh I am lost,
Without your hand in mine.
Like a rolling stone,
You roll on and on and on.
I was standing still;
I could not reach out to stop you.
And I have lost
Your affections tonight.
I am lost, oh I am lost,
Without your hand in mine.

Bees With Guns Denver, Colorado
Bees with Guns is an up-and-coming blues-inspired indie rock band hailing from Denver. They recently released their debut EP, "Schematics", at Larimer Lounge. Their sound draws heavily from blues and americana standbys like The Black Keys and Wilco, which co-exists with the occasionally anthemic vibe and emotional power of early Arcade Fire. ... more
