Dark City 03:09
The city sleeps But thoughts still rattle round my head And like a drunken fool I swallow back that dread To the window pane a peer into my old soul Damned to the dead We’ll flow against the grain DARK City Stay away from me Though you are my hear t I still need to breathe Dark city let me sleep My veins are running cold from what you done to me Dark City, Dark City My eyes Ill sew umm shut, but still I’ll see Dark City DARK City Stay away from me Though you are my hear t I still need to breathe Dark city let me sleep

The Artist 02:34
What is it you want? I search the lines on your face Follow those worry lines Ask for my demise My story dear? Well it’s been at least a year since I’ve been loved Too personal now? Well I’ll shout it out I’ll shout it out The sick twisted artist Wears nice suites and sings Like an angel But truly inside I might die every night Sitting In the corner Writing blood lines in some old fashion Like Tim Kasher And I might spill my blood on a page I might feel my soul in a rage Cause I know I’m the one To make you feel Am I a fool? Or am I a tool? do I give it all up? or keep breaking the rules? You wanted it all Oh I gave too much? Not I don’t what your touch cause it’s just too much Sitting In the corner Writing blood lines in some old fashion Like Tim Kasher I might be the artist inside I know the way I feel It’s my own fault

In the sweet summer air We burst and bloom And I know nothing I could ever say to you Could make you feel the way I do Then the cold autumn falls A chill enters in It will never leave till it left Our love done in Cause I’ve been lying to you Lying to you By the souls of my shoes that walk out on you I’ve been lying to you Till my face turned blue Black Sky night Dies I’m falling out of love And your falling awake while I’m falling asleep Where have you been my love Have you been lying? Cause I’ve been lying Lying to you By the souls of my shoes that walk out on you I’ve been lying to you Till my face turned blue It’s just a little lie Just a little lie Oh black sky the night dies I’m falling out of love Black sky nights shy She’s basking in the flood I’ve been lying to you Lying to you Lying to you Lying you

Fingers Snapping to a beat long lost sure we went on but whats the cost I heard there where pretty girls around theres keys in the backs of talentless hacks and oh the money's what makes them go around and around and scream queen have killed the radio glitter has choked the gods I say raise the dead make pop music rivers red and meet me on the moon Cause I have the swagger of a dead man the voice of the deceased put on you great grandma's dress and come and dance with me Cause I like promiscuous women I like em' wrapped with bow you rogue your lips and bat your eyes then baby it's time to go HAH I called up the golden age she was not there It seems all I need is in that sweet night air HAH Cause I have the swagger of a dead man the voice of the deceased put on you great grandma's dress and come and dance with me I'll be in the street
5.
Wake up, wake up in a sweat to the eyes will you die? what a dream Wake up stumble on like a drunk in the night He's Splitting at the seams No I wont stay still Cause I can't stay still What a Dream I must been have been in but I'll never know cause I've never been so cold I've been feeling the effects Cracking under that stress Fabricated clouds are falling on me and theres nothing to do nothing to do But Breathe It'll all be over but I still shudder the man I should be died in the storm and I know that I'm destined for something bigger than this town bigger than any oh never mind No I wont stay still no I can't stay still like a shark even night to stop is to die And I'm sick and tired of hearing you complain How you got lost in the fire then doused in the flames And kiss everything you love goodbye dear cousin, because to STOP is to die What a dream and I'll never know since I've never felt so cold And I know this this is one last thing I must confess I'm following my head far from the start

about

Dead Swagger Austin, Texas

There is a distinct suave romance about Dead Swagger. The lyrics could remind someone of the fast paced dialogues in movies of old along with a nice croon here and there. Dead Swaggers mission is to bring back that old allure that is conveyed in film noirs and black and white movies. Where guys where suave and girls where alluring. So enjoy as they mourn that Golden Age. ... more
