lyrics

Like a Clock (S. Sinner)
Head trip, road trip out of season
Fear on rolling into town
Lines on the highway pull me onward
These lines of thinking draw me down
Another hung over Sunday
Slopped on top of those before
Silence contemplates your meaning while
The answers sprout up questions more and more
Your heart beats like a clock
In time with me awake and turning
My eyes fixed on a spot
To keep me from these dreams recurring
And all these thoughts I cannot escape
Sharpen up to run me through
All your glances still haunt me now
I come to think you always knew...
So I built up sorrow-proof fences8
Sound proof for all but when I shout
Ensnared innocent animals
Before you let me out...(You never really let me out)
My eyes searching all directions
Try to hold on to this room
Try to hold on to your image
As tight as I was glued to you

American Sinner Maryland

American Sinner is a rock n' roll stiletto switchblade dance along the edge of a knife that opens up for stabbing.

They got it all so when these boys are randy to rock, you better let 'em. ... more
