It's getting late in the eve (she's been beckonin') She wants to buy me a drink (I've been reckonin') She wants me dead I can't bleed more honestly I won't be your zombie. We say that "Jesus can save" If you know how to behave... They want me dead I can't bleed more honest These days Holy Spirit Fall apon us I won't be a doubting Thomas Let's take a trip to the sea Let's sing in tune out of key They want me dead I can't be more Honestly I won't be your zombie!

That's Why 03:37
Lonely Girl with a telephone wire wrapped around her neck so tight she wont come down for a while If you find her let me know if you find her tell her that I love her so That's why we have been lonely, alone for a while That's why we all get lost and found Honest man with his heart on his sleeve can't understand…he never finds enough sleep We can cuddle up so cold We can get close to someone… We never know if we'll see them, knows if she'll see him, knows if he'll see her again. Cocaine Nights for friends on the weekends she bends around when Cocaine Highs only bring you down…down…down…. That's why we have been lonely, alone for a little why. That's why we all get lost and found THat's why we all get lonely for a little while That's why we all get lost and found again, again, again.

So this is what it feels like, living on the other side This is what it feels like, living on landmine it's time to decide 'Cause it's a lovely road but it's a shame that she'll never have her mothers eyes… Yeah this is what it feels like When you're just getting' by all the while…. Well We've been singing Your name but I doubt if we mean it, the words never match our lives Cause I was the same I was constantly feinding for something to get me high I was just getting' by (What a terrible way to waste my life) Living without my eyes (All the while you were calling me to live as wise) So this is what it feels like living on the other side I've been a king on a stolen throne Tired and waiting for You to come home The time I was killing was hurtful Its True, I should be working for You! I should be working for You! We live like kings in our own way but just like sheep we've gone astray Our sleep is blinding us- Its true, We should be working for You We should be working for You! Oh your love is a flame I am new I am changed I give up all my ghosts, away No I won't pretend to be a shaking king so that I can obtain that which I do not need You gave me two eyes Now teach me how to see as a fountain…. I've been a king on a stolen throne Tired and waiting for You to come home The time I was killing was hurtful- It's True, I should be working for You I should be working for You! We live like Kings in own way but just like sheep we've gone astray Our sleep is blinding us Its true, We should be working for You We should be working for You!

Stood at the face of the mountain And stared upwards… All I have and all I am Has been molded by your hands So I don’t stand alone This Mountain’s gonna move, This Mountain’s gonna move When I was young I could do anything Always believed You would Be there with me 
I never had to understand There was a Love that was fiercer than Anything I had ever known (I had ever known, ever known) This Mountain’s gonna move, This Mountain’s gonna move This Mountain’s gonna move This Mountain’s gotta move! 
This Mountain…

…I have ever, ever known

Covering 04:35
Wake My love Cause I've been waiting for you here with open arms Despite the lies they're telling you You're not alone You have to be willing to be opened up Those wounds will not define you. When it starts to rain and you're outside Don't be surprised if you stay dry at all... I'll be Covering you. All the while that you've been breaking down and everything else seems to be a Lie I'll be covering you. Wake My love There was no one there to fight for you when you were young and helpless- left defenseless, intent on survival with the spoken broken promises of ones who let you down I Love you more than you could ever know I Love you more than you could ever know. Wake My Love Cause I've been waiting for you here with open arms... When it starts to rain and you're outside Don't be surprised if you stay dry at all I'll be covering you Every moment you are breaking down, Just know- I've been with you since the Fall. I've been with you since the Fall.

about

ELANI Portland, Oregon

ELANI was formed in 2005 by Chris & Jonathan Miller on the heels of their North Carolina-based fun-rock band "Alfonso". ELANI grew to a four piece in 2006 and was big on myspace and in coffeeshops, but mostly lived inside of the imagination of the brothers Miller. "Speaking in Cursive" was the breakout EP that landed a few singles in independent films and put ELANI on the Portland-area map. ... more
