Goodnight sweetheart, the stitches are coming apart

2001

The pursuit of happiness


The promise of forever, the lie of mortal flesh
and blood the song of Solomon singed by the emotionally stunted heart of deception
how hard is it to make up your mind?
I love you, I need you only you forever
Then I peel these pages on the calendar off the skin on my chest
is the quest for information providing the experience and the wisdom?
and the ability to say that something is all right?
I spell your name with my incision in your embrace
Opening a heart seems to be an easy thing
still I'm drowning in the memories that make my spirit sing
so why are you out of reach?
when your lips are just out of reach
and your arms are just out of reach
and your heart is just out of reach
why are you just out of reach?
Is there any kind of genuine feeling of the fairy tale?
soiled by our American idealism
these pages that describe my heart
I'm longing for you to mirror me,
but you'll just leave again if I'd look up to the stars it will be intoxicating
and if I'd find the strength to say:
"Life is not short, life is so long, life is so very long"
instill in me divine presence of everlasting freedom
Because I love you, and I need you only you forever
The beauty screaming up my spinal column
The aching for a return stinging my central nervous system
I spell your name with my incision
and your eyes wander to someone else one thousand times

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Showbread is an American Christian rock band originating from Guyton, Georgia. Formed in 1997, the group has undergone numerous lineup changes throughout its history while maintaining its two founding members, Josh Dies and Patrick Porter. Dies serves as Showbread's primary songwriter and creative director, ensuring stylistic consistency despite the band's fluctuating roster. Until 2007, the band featured two lead vocalists, including Ivory Mobley. Josh Dies is also the author of the novels "The Spinal Cord Perception", "The Insect" and "Nevada". Showbread gained media attention in 2006 when a fan-made video for the song "Dead By Dawn" was posted on YouTube. The video, viewed by the band and shared on their website, sparked controversy surrounding Showbread's lyrical themes. According to former guitarist Matt Davis, the band's name originates from "a biblical reference that Jesus used to show how Christianity isn't so much about rules but about love".
