lyrics

A stretch of empty road at 12 in the A.M.
Toxins in my veins, blackness setting in.
Shadows racing by, no moon to be seen.
I'm fighting off red eyes, oh will I ever shake this off?

'Cause I've been wandering too long,
aimlessly without a thought
in my head that could lead me
somewhere I've never been.
For fear of failing's
got a chokehold on me
so I'm gasping when I try;
Come on devil, be my guide.

He's got a clever face,
entrancing deep-set eyes.
HIs words taste so good,
I'm falling in love with his mind.
He guides me to a bar
with smoke that chokes up blood.
Puts whiskey in my hand,
sly smile, it don't take much.

Head is spinning.
Eyes are blurry.
Briefly drowning all my worries.
It feels good in my veins.
Warming insides, dulling pain.
Stupid smile across my face.
Fingers crossed to keep the taste
from leaving me tonight.
Will I sustain this with the devil by my side?

I'm reborn but dead at sunrise.
'Cause revolutions only live at night.
But tonight I want to make it last.
I need to shake the dust from my past.

And I know that the devil
will only take me so far.
He's a great companion
when you're hunched over a bar.
So when the days all blend together
and you're sitting idle to get better
You gotta get up to shake the dust,
you gotta move to shake it off.

Revisionists Austin, Texas

I wear my influences on my sleeve and I hope it comes out in the music. I know what I like and aspire to write like the bands and songwriters that inspire me while at the same time putting my own personal stamp on the music. In the words of Frank Turner, "I know I don't break new ground, many have travelled this sound, but I try to make it sound like home..." ... more
