Lyrics:

Do you hear my heart beat, so loud in your ear?
Or is it just noise, you're unable to hear?
A crashing of static, a voice on the phone.
Is she busy again?
Do you care if I crumble, will you help me be saved?
Will you breathe me new life, or just let me fade?
Like the slow dying embers you wore in your hair,
it was so long ago.

So much time it has passed and it still isn't fair,
but you've just gotta go.
But your eye's can't have seen, where your body has been,
your conscience has robbed you of sight.
The secrets unfold as your breath hits the cold,
and spirals up into the night.

The briefest goodbyes, the heaviest gaze.
It's been a year, seven months, fifteen days, since i last saw you, under the bridge where we all used to go.
And I wish I could see you as clear in my mind, but your face has faded, as I'm sure has mine.
There's nothing to show, a half remembered refrain and a longing to know.
How you're doing if you're well if you've any regrets, if you think of me so.
Here's where the cracks start to show in the faces of those, who were never quite in it for keeps.
So I'll give you a rope you can tie to your hope and visit me when you're asleep.

This is awesome! I'm glad I searched his name after reading a comment about him in another video. He should come out with an album if he hasn't already. What is the title of this song? Adab?

[schmatt13]

Thanks for checking this out. Pass it along, he needs all the exposure he can get. The title is quite perculiar, i'm not sure what it means I'll have to ask him, on wikipedia it's either a town in the middle east... or a code of conduct in the islamic faith.
