Brand New - Millstone (alternate)

Alternate version of Millstone from the band Brand New.

Lyrics:

I used to be such a burning example,
I used to be so original.
I used to care, I was being cared for.
Made sure I showed it to those that I love.

I used to sleep without a single stir,
'Cause I was about my father's work.

Well take me out tonight,
This ship of fools I'm on will sink.
A millstone around my neck,
{If you'd} be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.

I used to pray like God was listening.
I used to make my parents proud.
I was the glue that kept my friends together,
Now they don't talk and we don't go out.

I was the captain who would stay the course
When the storm rose up and showed us all its worst

Well take me out tonight,
This ship of fools I'm on will sink.
A millstone around my neck,
{If you'd} be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.

Well save my life tonight.
This ship of fools I'm on will sink.
A millstone around my neck
{If you'd} be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.

"They never hit their brakes..."
"There was no time to see..."
"He just ran out in the street..."
"Does anybody know his name?"
"I think I recognize him..."
"He sure as hell paid for that mistake..."

Woah.

Well take me out tonight.
This ship of fools I'm on will sink.
A millstone around my neck.
{If you'd} be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.

Well save my life tonight.
This ship of fools I'm on will sink
A millstone around my neck
{If you'd} be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.

Take me out tonight.
This ship of fools I'm on will sink.
A millstone around my neck.
{If you'd} be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give.

@randomactsok no... no we don't

I love this version.

For those who ask all the time about why Jesse always relates or has songs that sound christian or whatever, it's because he went to a catholic high school. Not saying his school is the actual reason for the songs, but you understand what I mean.

man a lot of their demo stuff i like more than the official versions...love having multiple versions of their songs though this one is so much deeper i love it

[mattloque]

This version is amazing - it's like the original on slow drugs. Anyway, to end all the lies and confusion, it's an official version and can be purchased on Spotify. Search "Brand New Millstone" and it's the version which is 05:05 in length. Enjoy.

I'm pretty sure this is just the demo version that leaked before the album was out.

[Telecasterpunk]

Jesse's voice is a lot clearer in this version. I like it.

The person who uploaded this didn't mess with Millstone. This is the true alternate version. If you took time to compare the original and this version, Lacey changed the lyrics. For example, in the original, the lyrics were "I used to know the name of every person I kissed, Now I've made this bed, and I can't fall asleep." In this one it's, "I was the captain who stay the course, When the storm rose up and showed us all its worst." Also at the beginning in this, you can hear Lacey counting.
