about

The second Battenhouse Remix. This one is for a track which is one of our favorites, lyrically. But it is deep and dark and, admittedly, difficult for me to sing live. Check out the original track here: bit.ly/1CpSylW

lyrics

Gonna make amends.
Gonna breathe it up.
When it's not enough, hope God assumes that I'm playing my part.
I hope you dream of love and when you kiss His lips, you'll be a lot like
me, a lot like me a lot like me. But forget.
That promises are promises broke. Sing those words. See, it's easier to
move, where the lesson's never learned.
I hope you dream of love and when you wake, you'll be a lot like me, a lot
like me, a lot like me. But don't wait.
Unless I'm wrong, unless I'm wrong somehow. Father ain't much, mother
ain't love and God gives a damn about us all. I make my misery shine so
bright I leave it tattooed on my skin and unless I die, I'm never alone.
Never again.
No, you ain't a lot like me.
I'm never alone never ever again.
If the sun is too far, or the moon too great. Like the bloom behind my
words: shadowed bones and old mistakes. I hope you dream of love and
while you sleep, be a lot like me a lot like be a lot like me some shiny
day.
Oooh yeah.Sinful man, sinful man, behold: my brethren.
Breathless sit still, sit still, sit still, still still, are you proud of me now?
I am amazed, amazed you dream of love, a lot like me a lot like me. but you never wanna give it up.
Don't give up.
Unless I'm wrong. Unless I'm wrong somehow. Glad it ain't much,
murdering love, 'cause I give a damn about you all. I make my misery
shine so bright, I leave it tattooed on my skin. Unless I die, I'm never
alone, never again never again. No no you ain't a lot like me.
I'm never alone never ever again. I ain't ever alone never ever again
