lyrics

Make It Real

So you’re back at it again
Shut out the light and let the darkness in
It’s been so long, that missing piece
Your hearts been numb, now it’s starting to feel
Now it’s starting to feel
Lets make a deal

So scratch your name out in pen
Write it clear so we can be certain
That burning want, that shuttered need
That aching body, that hungry dream
Hungry dream
Oh I could make it real

They say how do I know
Oh you’ll know, you’ll know
If you’d sell em down the river
For a night to touch and shiver with her
Then give my name a whisper

They say how do I know
You’ll know, you’ll know
When you’re looking through the glass
At the life you could’ve had
But a deals a deal that’s the way it goes

In the shadow of this love its cold lord I know it, like a desert moon
Cast long as these rail cars rolling though

In the shadow of this love everything pales I know
Things die before they bloom
Black magic babe, it’s got me ruined

Justin has played in Vancouver indie bands like Run River and Library. ... more
