lyrics

One autumn night you tripped over my heart
Caught by surprise
For I did not expect to be bound by your spell
You wrote ten digits on my hand
Who could've guessed that patch of ink would
Seep into my pores and find its home

All the pallid walls ignite
They turn to gold before my eyes

We made a tryst among the walking dead
Your eyes were grey
Wounded by your dismal disposition
But your hands resembled that of grace
And your charm well it rendered me as
Smitten as a kitten with his ball of yarn

The weather in my head has cleared
Sun shining from my ears...

A mutual friend was once my enemy
She was disguised
As a devilish reaper praying upon the vulnerable and the meek
But her motives never showed
For every scourge that stung was another little nudge
Towards the truth that I've been searching for

Your cherry fingernails induce
The kinda joy I can't refuse

Within your trust I've stumbled on a cellar door
It's where you store all your pain like aging wine
Well that just don't work no that bitterness won't fade
So won't you let me poor all your ailments down the drain

Living like a lucid dream
We'll sail to Venice live at sea

It’s difficult to describe Teague’s style, but it usually consists of unpredictable melodies that stray, intricate, dynamic arrangements and a soaring, vocal tremolo. ... more
