Something Vague by Bright Eyes

Enjoy! :)

Album: Fevers and Mirrors.

Lyrics:
Now and again it seems worse than it is,
but mostly the view is accurate.
You see your breath in the air as you climb up the stairs
to that coffin you call your apartment.
And you sink in your chair, brush the snow from your hair
and drink the cold away.
And you're not really sure what you're doing this for
but you need something to fill up the days.
A few more hours.
There's a dream in my brain that just won't go away.
It's been stuck there since it came a few nights ago
And I'm standing on a bridge in the town where I lived
as a kid with my mom and my brothers.
And then the bridge disappears and I'm standing on air
with nothing holding me.
And I hang like a star, fucking glow in the dark,
for all those starving eyes to see,
like the ones we've wished on.
But now I'm confused. Is this death really you?
And do these dreams have any meaning?
No. No, I think it's more like a ghost that's been following us both.
Something vague that we're not seeing,
something more like a feeling.

what font did you use in the beginning? i love it. [:

[Xzilara]

@ittyx3 Unfortunately I don't remember. All I know is it is some font on Adobe Photoshop CS. I wish I knew...I like it too.

Quite honestly, I think he would make a better poet than a vocalist. His words are beautiful and haunting. But his voice just doesn't do the words justice at times.

[Xzilara]

@0nlyapulse I disagree. I think music is more than just a pretty voice. Conor makes beautiful music with the instruments and his haunting lyrics. I think there are a lot of people who can have great voices, but don't have the feeling, don't have the soul in their songs.

Muahaha, thumbs down from me.

@0nlyapulse

I also disagree, and I love his voice actually. But yes he could be a poet; easily.
