Memories

He was the congregation's vagrant With an unrequited love When your passion's exaltation Confirm then finding refuge is not enough She was the youngest of the family And the last to be let go They decided they would try to make it on their own [Chorus] Oh, memories... Where'd you go? You were all I've ever known How I miss yesterday And how I let it fade away (where'd you go?...) When july became december Their affection fought the cold But they couldn't quite remember What inspired them to go And it was beautifully depressing Like a streetcar named desire They were fighting for their love That started growing tired Oh, memories... Where'd you go? You were all i've ever known How I miss yesterday And how I let it fade away (don't fade away...) Money lost momentum And the bills were piling high Then the smile, it finally faded From the apple of their eye And they were young and independent And they thought they had it planned Should've known right from the start You can't predict the end Oh, memories... Where'd you go? You were all i've ever known How I miss yesterday And how I let it fade away Oh, memories... Where'd you go? You were all i've ever known How I miss yesterday And how I let it fade away (don't fade away...)

This Is Gospel

This is gospel for the fallen ones Locked away in permanent slumber Assembling their philosophies From pieces of broken memories Oh oh oh this is the beat of my heart This is the beat of my heart Oh oh oh this is the beat of my heart This is the beat of my heart When gnashing teeth And criminal tongues conspire against the odds But they haven't seen the best of us yet If you love me let me go If you love me let me go 'Cause these words are knives And often leave scars The fear of falling apart Truth be told I never was yours The fear, the fear of falling apart Oh oh oh this is the beat of my heart This is the beat of my heart  Oh oh oh this is the beat of my heart This is the beat of my heart This is gospel, for the vagabonds Ne'er-do-wells and insufferable bastards Confessing their apostasies Led away by imperfect impostors Oh oh oh this is the beat of my heart This is the beat of my heartOh oh oh this is the beat of my heart This is the beat of my heart Don't try to sleep through the end of the world And bury me alive 'Cause I won't give up without a fight If you love me let me go If you love me let me go 'Cause these words are knives And often leave scars
