lyrics

Yea well I tried, and I failed
Yea I've gone off the rails
And if you, only knew, you would too (repeat)

I need a love, Selfless Love
But it ain't me
You need a love, Selfless Love
But it ain't me
And well I've
Oh I've tried And I failed
Yea I've hit my head
And Ive gone off the rails

What I need is a little less pain
(repeat)
Standing out here,
In the cold, and the rain
You can feel it,
Running through your blue veins

I don't know why I can't let you go
Oh why, well I just don't know
But the hardest thing about
Saying goodbye is the next hello
And even though I try
I just cant seem to let you go

I need a love, Selfless Love
But it ain't me
You need a love, Selfless Love
But it ain't me
And well I've
Oh I've tried And I failed
Yea I've hit my head
And Ive gone off the rails
(repeat)

This just has some great vibes all around - from the energy of 56th Floor and Symphony of the ironic sympathy to the gentle, laid back Soul Keeper - it’s worth the time to listen to it all. potaytoes

I love the desert and I've never had the pleasure of listening to something else that made me feel so strongly like I was in Arizona again. God tier album, god tier desert. Poop Metal Enjoyer

For some reason, what I previewed and the real songs was somewhat different - maybe because of the cover art? But I definitely don't regret something more spacial than expected. The recent Ocean drifting in space. frankwurst

Excellent classic metal. Feels like it was literally picked from the mid-70's. Classic ©ough©ool
