The Felix Culpa - An Instrument descargar videos gratis

i don't remember ever being someone else

but here i am, on this stage singing like i mean it

watching you stare back at me

like you've seen a ghost, which is pretty close

you can see through what i believed in

i was an instrument, i was a messenger

but what you are doesn't matter until you've sold it

and i've nothing left for you to buy

i let you watch us whither

in the name of something bigger

i guess that i was given

something greater than my hands could hold

i know that i could fake this and you'd eat it up

but it's not in me to cheat your parents out of their money

see, i'm no more a tortured artist than a self-serving, temperamental addict to the sound of my own praise

and i could write for days and days without finding a word that would bear repeating

but still, i can't put this pen down, like it's going to somehow make you proud or make me more of a man than i am now,

or allow us the words to respond for the years that this song has taken

and i've nothing left for us to say

so this is where i brought us

to float without a purpose

the fire i lit consumed us

the boat, the crew, the tourists

we all paid to be

something greater than my hands could hold
