lyrics

It's a bump in the night
When the day's events
Make it hard to sleep
It's a feeling in the air
When your eyes start to stream
It's a face to face with love
Seldom reached and never kept

And I don't care who you are
Yes and everybody has those thoughts
Right before the night exposes
Shadows of oblivion
What's hiding behind smiles
Shadows of oblivion
And it starts again too soon

I think I've always known
I think that I was told
I can't explain
Feelings I have locked away
I'll let them out
And watch them dance and play

This is the honest truth
All roads leading nowhere
Wind up in someone's heart
With a fist in the air
I don't really care
As you blankly stare

I look up every night
And try my best to find you
Hope you're happy and you're safe
Though the darkness might surround you
Just relax and let it go

Moon above the birds above the beach
Tugs at the ghost inside your lungs
Iguanas among the manchineel
Speak in barely hidden tongues
Do you remember all this from before
All the things came undone
In oblivion

Take my hand, shelter me
Morning brings the light to see
Feel the change, feel again
Shadows of oblivion
In my head, so much weight
Little time it's getting late
Watching life slip away
Shadows of oblivion

Mother's Mistakes Albany, New York

Progressive rock from New York's capital region. Fans of Porcupine Tree, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, and Yes will find something they love in Mother's Mistakes:

From the minds of two homeless doomsday prophets, words that were first scrawled on sandwich boards and sounds that began in overtaxed guts. Heed their lessons, hard-earned from ordeal and ordure alike. ... more
