lyrics

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!

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
