lyrics

There’s a protest on the corner of Providence and Vine
Ultimatums scratched on cardboard, the police are form a line
And while they plead for peace, I can see hatred in their eyes
I know that I don’t want to have to choose a side
I know that I just want to feel safe tonight

In a quiet neighborhood the gunman’s bullets fly
And the politicians posture on the graves of those who died
They’re clamoring for us to join the left or join the right
I know that I don’t want to have to choose a side
I know that I just want to feel safe tonight

If I wrap myself up in the warmth of these sheets
And I stay short of conscious for the better part of a week
If I school all my feelings and if I tame this broken heart
Will a new creature emerge from the dark

I found a stick and drew a straight line in the sand
Then searched the crowd to take you there.
I was young back then I didn’t understand
I was right, I didn’t care

When the mushroom clouds expand like fungus in the sky
And the tall glass buildings turn to dust before our eyes
When we’re always on the run and we’re fearing for our lives
Know that I just want to be on your side
Know that I just want to be by your side

I was lost in self-destructive state
Pushed love and logic out the door
I was wallowing in pity and self-hate
You brought me back, you gave me more

Back to 337
by Herod the Fink

This one is near and dear to our hearts. We spent most of 2010 creating 8 original holiday songs under the band name "Herod the Fink." Energetic and heartfelt, it has become a holiday staple for many. Tiny Boats

The Lower Lights - A Hymn Revival
by The Lower Lights

An amazing album by a fellow Utah band which was hugely influential on our own record. These highly talented folks created a great sounding 'hip' record which is also lyrically powerful. Tiny Boats
