turn, it follows I’ve heard
whatever occur
there’s more beginning
don’t get loyal to hours like these
you know it will cease
and the haze’s a thinning
so strange to awake sometimes I’m not prepared for you
you snore like an easeful child I melt each time you do
And I sight the city lights
I sight the city lights
learned, old dogs in the snow
they also get cold
by now I know it
won’t hide out, we’ll be found anyhow
worn-out anyhow
you never scared me
too late to have faith and that’s why you’ll need me here to prove
I dream like an only child it’s certain that’s on you
and I sight the city lights
I sight the city lights

I Saw You
04:14
|

|
I thought I saw you
so many times
heard I’d gone out of my mind
you wore a raincoat
selected style
you calmed a baby that cried
and I know you would be cool if I got arrested
I would wake up in a room you had renovated
but it’s easy to hide
you can go where you like
when you’ve left someone’s mind
I thought I saw you
so many times
said I was sure every sight
you wore a girl’s hands
over your eyes
you made the boredom seem right
and I know you would be kind if I’d run into you
I’d act happy you’d act sad like a winner has to do
but it’s easy to hide
you can go where you like
when you no longer count
I thought I saw you
so many times
heard I’d gone out of my mind
your face confuses
my sense of time
like any star in the sky
and I know you’re gonna feel proud that I am still dreaming
and I know I’m gonna pretend you deserve to feel that way
cause it’s easy to lie
when you act sane for once
you can be who you like

Necessaries

in the morning
as the sky’s shifting guards
I will go out and face that dawn
have you lain low
were you the leading part
when I noticed a bird in my heart
you knew me back then
though I was never in charge
and way too open I closed from the start
so don’t I want it
what only fools turn down
could I get there alive sometime
falter at your open arms
I fear I need your love
I fear I need your love
falter at your open arms
I fear you’d mend it all
I fear you’d mend it all
I got power
and invulnerability
just a weakness for setting boats free
still the inverse
is never far behind
if you could follow my steps, it’s alright
falter at your open arms
I fear I need your love
I fear I need your love
falter at your open arms
I fear you’d mend it all
I fear you’d mend it all

Bony Shelter
06:09
|
|||
|
found a way to stay out of the doubt
found someone to keep you satisfied
it’s a bony shelter
they think you could feel better
just don’t look into those eyes
cause when your cold heart answers
you don’t want it to stop
don’t want it to stop
until you believe their comments
you don’t want it to stop
don’t want it to stop
you’ve always liked the kisses taste like wine
and the way you’re hidden side by side
it’s a bony shelter
writing you love letters
and make you feel so strange inside
for such a long time
I wanted to believe my own lie
lover, don’t bow
I want to show the world what we’ve found
cause when your cold heart answers
you don’t want it to stop
don’t want it to stop
unless you believe their comments
you don’t want it to stop, don’t want it to stop

Chances
04:01
|
|||
|
you got to give, you got to be
although it tends to fall to pieces
I get the chances easily
before honesty is happening
you make me want to change my ways
so I must leave you while I’m sleeping
there has to be a hidden place
where it’s safe for me, there is I know
of all that I’ve lost I can see the purpose now
and all I’ve been brought I can see its gleaming now
I’ve got to go and find my baby
to say we should believe in love
cause I feel peachy with you baby
even if I’m none to this world
how I wish some thoughts of mine
would stay away just while I’m lonesome
they follow me into the crowd
until the last of chances looks away
of all that I’ve lost I can see the purpose now
and all I’ve been brought I can see you’re shimmering now
I’ve got to go and find my baby
to say we should believe in love
cause I feel peachy with you baby
even when I’m none to this world

Bad Woman
03:47
|
|||
|
I’m closing in on that side
said I’ll be back in a while
I need to question somebody
won’t learn but got to get it right
just say I cannot be there
to watch the light of the year
I had ambitions to function
somewhere behind a thousand tears
I saw my best in you
fade into a bad woman
and you held me again
heavy date on your hands
always a twist on your plans
I’m pulling everything off that
I know is gonna hold you back
and I’m closing in on that side
where I don’t see your eyes
I need to question somebody
let them get me home and get me dry
I saw my best in you
fade into a bad woman
and you held me again

Ending Lines
05:18
|
|||
|
you’re twisting your feet in a loner’s flat
not willing to see the biggest gap
you wind up
you wind up
where it’s cold
you get cold
you’ll never feel free while having your luck
and so you’re in need to screw things up
you wind up
you wind up
where it’s cold
you get cold
so long since I realized
it never gonna leave my mind
It’s the ending lines
they get me paralyzed
and I know they tricked you more than once
cause you’re fallen for anyone
who might back out
who might back out
with those you don’t need to close your eyes for the thrill
it attacks from behind just like the ruin will
you wind up
you wind up
where it’s cold
you’ll get cold
I never gonna give you up
I know you had plans in mind
you cannot let them die
I cannot let them die
and I know they tricked you more than once
cause you hold on to anyone
who might back out
who might back out

Had It
04:58
|

|
don’t think you’ve had it
nowhere near it
though I would understand it
I’ve been in to your bad rooms
sometimes, often
on your own to withstand it
but as soon as you gave up the rules
I remember I saw a bright star on the ceiling
remember the bright star on the ceiling
I don’t think you’ve had it
travelling dreams still
though I would understand it
I’ve been in to your bad rooms
sometimes, often
on your own to withstand it
but as soon as you let your love bloom
I remember I saw a bright star on the ceiling
remember the bright star on the ceiling
don’t think you’ve had it
nowhere near it
though I would understand it
I’ve been in to your bad rooms
sometimes, mostly
on your own to withstand it

Your Name
04:29
|
|||
|
whatever you gave up on I’d say it’s different now
a reason to reappear, I thought you’d might
you left some things
I wonder if you want them back
though I’m still dreaming
you’ll come to unpack
I try to hang on but I’m losing ground
my tricks are old and it’s a tougher crowd
they only wait me out
from their humble heights
despite a grip so tight
your name
your name
their name to say
I treat myself to weekends in your sphere
where distance feels afar and old times near
there’s a place you think I’d like and we should hurry now
cause I keep noticing that granite sky
I try to hang on but I’m losing faith
you never called for shelter anyway
they only wait me out
from their humble heights
despite a wide-eyed fight
your name
your name
their name to say

Untourable Album
by Men I Trust
supported by 11 fans who also own “Tank Town”
A truly stunning album that mentally transports you to foggy early morning streets, the pavement wet from recent rains. Dreary, but in a comforting way. Like sitting next to a window during a rainstorm, listening to the drops hit the glass while remaining warm. Never fails to make me feel safe.
