They want to take my hands
They want to take my arms
Gonna put dimes on my eyes
Then sell my farm
I went so far off
Some called it hiding
Had to go get lost
To find what used to define me
Never knew a place
Always felt I should be somewhere else
Wasn't looking to be saved
Just needed a little bit of help
And you by my side
Had our vision of heaven
Caught that glance on Earth
For awhile all worries lifted
Stillness was in our hearts
Never needed no jackpot
Never had many joyless tears
Always seemed a little bit better
Than I was last year
With you by my side
They're gonna take my hands
They're gonna take my arms
Gonna put dimes on my eyes
And sell my farm
Been following Somos for many years, feeling that they had an opus in them...well, here it is. Driving pop-punk sensibilities lend an upbeat tone in contrast to the grim lyrical proceedings, and they absolutely pull it off. Evocative music that's been on repeat for me all month long. RIP, Phil PaintedDogs
