Without You 05:04
Fell back on love was it More than the roses A poor man's gilded pennies Fell back in love Her eyes were even deeper But still her heart flew from me Fell back on love It was never more than the roses A poor man's gilded pennies I fell back in love Because her eyes were even deeper But still her heart flew from me A lonely soul Moves so much slower I know I'll always feel alone As I am without you While still not over you I wish to say this to your face I'll keep my word for you, always When I come back together I'll know that I'm here because I am without you A lonely soul Moves so much slower I know I'll always feel alone As I am without you A lonely soul Moves so much slower I know I'll always feel alone As I am without you As I am without you As long as I'm without you Fell back in love In a whole new way And still her heart flew from me

Insomnia dreams lay heavy on me Lack of rest reminds me I'm lonely While a nation is sleeping I'm broken in two And everything moves by so slowly Still I can't sleep again Wake me up I am drowning Wake me up I am dreaming Insomnia dreams lay heavy on me My ambition climbs over the mountains But I stand in a field Far from my home And everything drifts by so slowly Still I can't sleep again Wake me up I am drowning Wake me up I am dreaming

Can you feel the water rushing by It soothes my body I want to lose myself in it Grab my hand, here We will flow together Here we go On three I'm liquefied Look out Where is the way I don't know the way Where is the way In this turbid sea I don't know if the hand I hold is yours I miss you so much Squeeze twice if you know me I'm shaking Because it's so cold and so dark Here we go On three I'm petrified Look out Where is the way I don't know the way Where is the way In this turbid sea Where is the way My sight is hazy Where is the way My sight is gone Can't see the way out of here Take me home Please, take me home

A black and blue flame Licks the good ambition Little does he know That fire engaged potent ammunition And ever will they glow The embers deep below The feeling is almost lost for him And never will he live again To let the good man go Back home to fall asleep and in The quietness that had no end A never ending low To dwell forever, no Take this key, you will suffer endlessly To join in the mystery He goes on and on With the good ambition And nameless he will be An approach to fame Sent his ego away To hide with pain below At this time it came He forgot his name His feelings never shown Or perhaps were never owned He took out his sword And made ready to fight Found purpose in each blow The fire erupted Set his soul alight Consumed and made unknown He became a mirrored foe Take this key, you will suffer endlessly To join in the mystery He goes on and on With the good ambition And nameless he will be When the night is to come We will know because he's gone That we have everything we need Then he fell and he knew In his heart what he must do Is take the good man home Set fire to his soul and to With a new flame that wouldn't lose No longer fight alone To erase the status quo Looking to the stars he saw A miracle among them all Then sold all he had owned With his sword he went to war and called By our hands, the evil fall And the toxic blood did flow Through every crack and every hole Take this key, you will suffer endlessly To join in the mystery He goes on and on With the good ambition And nameless he will be When the night is to come We will know because he's gone That we have everything we need Looking close in his eyes You could tell that he cried In the center of his soul Wondering why others died In the fight against the many lies Whose wives tried not to moan For their ghosts that weren't so old Then he knew it was true His heart had been moved Right down to the bone What a man must choose Despite what he's been through is To let every man unowned Have the good ambition sown Through every story told Knowing he himself was sold Been bought now is owned As the good ambition's own

Will we ever find a cure To the sickness inside In the pit of me I'm sore Like I've never been before I think I'm poisoned Or maybe just torn Pour your heart out for love It is all we need Pour your heart out for love In the past I poured it out for me Life is an orphan And he hangs on your arm Fill his empty belly He doesn't need an empty jar All you give is the toys You don't play with anymore And I watch him die Pour your heart out for love It is all we need Pour your heart out for love In the past I poured it out to Take what was mine To save my empty life Now I'm sick With the love I wouldn't give And it's making me go under Pour your heart out for love There's no need to pour it out for me

Everyday 05:31
Once afraid of moving forward Now I run away from the same The days are long As I don't know them Maybe I've fallen Fallen hard for change Days go by And I am waiting Don't leave me wondering I want to heal you I want to touch you But I don't know how In the midst of everyday It's that fire in your eyes That passion realized To reach out before I pull in Familiarity narrows my mind so I know I've fallen Fallen hard for change Days go by And I am waiting Don't leave me wondering I want to heal you I want to touch you But I don't know how In the midst of everyday And I can't take it back All that I've done No it's all in the past I can give you my heart and my soul Because it's all I've left to give I'll give you my heart and my soul I'll give it to you I want to heal you I want to touch you But I don't know how In the midst of everyday

The Runner 02:48
I am the runner Running where I stand I run on down the river Where no one gives a hand I am the runner And everywhere I go There is one called the hunter And he's getting very old I am the runner How selfish could I be Running from the hunter Who hunts to set me free I am the runner And because of what I've done I could never be a lover No, not to anyone I am the runner I'm so scared of being caged Don't want to be another Lion gone to waste I am the runner Within the grasp of life itself When reaching for the water I wait For in the hunter's hand it's held I am the runner No matter what I do You keep reminding me That I can always be with you

Nightingale 05:17
She arrived late at my window Her voice loosed wonder I suppose I know she did not belong here As time disappeared she stayed And sang a song of beauty In the dark she sings The little nightingale sings me to sleep In the middle of the night she really shouldn't be here Not even together and never forever So fly far away nightingale I never loved you anyways The woodman taught you how to walk Did you not know that you were made to fly? He aims to hold you to the ground Turn around now, fly away The war goes on in my head It'll clear when I defeat the fear Of failing harder this time So I sing goodbye, goodbye IIn the dark she sings The little nightingale sings me to sleep In the middle of the night she really shouldn't be here Not even together and never forever So fly far away nightingale I never loved you anyways

I'm clothed in silver With green insides My hands are empty But I'll still give you strife The light is gone as I Burn hot with hate But wisdom says open At death's gates Nothing came of a blank desire I'm the start of the love that gives love away I'm the one who shows the way to change I'm the start of the love that gives love away And I'm the one who is not afraid Never afraid to love The bottle is empty It held everything Still I come to you now To try and reach you It takes all I have To be imageless But it's what I need If I'm going to reach you I don't belong here I'm the start of the love that gives love away I'm the one who shows the way to change I'm the start of the love that gives love away And I'm the one who is not afraid Never afraid to love Breathe in, breathe out You're not alone No one can control you But you've got to do it on your own It takes all you have To break the chains Of modern slavery To liberate and move And you won't belong here You're the start of the love that gives love away You're the one who shows the way to change You're the start of the love that gives love away And You're the one who is not afraid Never afraid to love

Lorelei 05:08
Lorelei don't give up yet I see the sea And the sea watches me Lorelei don't give up yet I want to fly Fly far away I heard him laughing A lazy smile that he stole A conversation That led down one lonely road Lorelei don't give up yet I see the sea And the sea watches me Lorelei don't give up yet I want to fly Fly far away Came close together So close the cold band forgot A cruel beginning For a treasure bought I ran from hurt but surely it found me It's time to sink To sink or to swim Darling don't sink, swim

about

apollo and Lacuna Nashville, Tennessee

Definitively progressive with use of odd time signatures and key changes, apollo and Lacuna's music takes blues-rock in a whole different direction, taking on the carnal folk style of Iron & Wine, the subtle whispers of Simon & Garfunkel, the beautiful oddities of Sigur Ros, and the blues infused pop of John Mayer. It's clear that apollo and Lacuna reaches for a more evolved musical experience. ... more
