lyrics

Wild Eyed

Dear direction what have I done that you won’t speak to me
Don’t know how we lost touch
I miss our talks
The nights we’d get no sleep

The front lights on, door’s unlocked, I’m waiting for the phone to ring
A quiet this loud it takes a bottle to drown and some pills above the bathroom sink

Your hearts too old a burned out wreck
Everyone’s had a ride no ones held on yet
My body’s broke I’m tired to death
You’re gone and the horse I’m whipping’s dead

Left feet, last dance, skip beat, moment’s passed
Long days since you left, in irons, aimless

It’s coming on, shine a light around me
The darker the night rougher the sea
Wild-eyed like a dog that ain’t free
The shorter the leash the sharper the teeth

I miss that old pulse pumping free, I want those shits to give
Miss being certain help me feel the way I did

If I don’t make it, it’ll make me masterless
Fortunes favor’s passed beneath this listless ship

Left feet, last dance, skip beat, moments passed
Long days since you left, in irons, aimless

It’s coming on, shine a light, around me
The darker the night the rougher the sea
Wild-eyed like a dog that ain’t free
The shorter the leash the sharper the teeth

about

el palomino Vancouver, British Columbia

El Palomino is the creative efforts of Justin Fleming and friends, based out of Vancouver BC. El Palomino’s debut album Badlands, is a down-tempo drive through a soulful, sonic landscape. The album re-draws the boundaries of indie-rock to encompass the no mans land where soul, shoegaze, R&B, and dream-pop intersect. Justin has played in Vancouver indie bands like Run River and Library. ... more
