Eyes on this flesh the windows of my soul
From these I look inside and see it all
Thorns in my heart and needles in my brain
Is pain infectious or is it from the core
My fate is hiding in the dark
Or it's my mind that steals the light
Heavy conscience on my shoulder
i Can't hold on any longer
Cold ice now
Darkness, kill my pain
I asked my father why he passed me by
He said I'm always here and watching you
Don't be afraid when you have lost your way
Follow the signs and they'll be leading you
Why do I fear to leave the lie
When time has come to say goodbye
Heavy conscience on my shoulder
i Can't hold on any longer
Cold ice now
Darkness, kill my pain
"WE ARE THE ANCIENT SAGES, FOR WHOM THE SIGN IS SHOWN
FORGOTTEN ONES FROM THE REALM OF THE UNKNOWN
WITHOUT A NAME OR TRACE, IN DEATH WE SANK
AND IN THE BOOK OF TIME OUR NAMES ARE BLANK"

Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
