A Failure's Wake

I lie and wait
In cotton tombs
I stage a failure's wake
And your words exhume
My empty chest
Where hope sat blind to fate

What was nothing new to me
Was something cruel to you
A bottom line was skewed
And now there's nothing I can do...
Erase my heart
This never was for you
Replace the start
And leave the right to choose

It's getting late
My eyes stay glued
On tiles miles away
The fan sifts through
A thousand why's
I'll never tie to sense

Something cruel to you
Was nothing new to me
A bottom line was skewed
And now there's nothing I can do...
Erase my heart
This never was for you
Replace the start
And leave the right to choose

Cause while I writhe and wait
And hope and pray that my phone rings
And you will say, "I'm coming back to die with you." With you.
I know that you're awake and pained
And hoping you can walk away
So you can finally have the life you want for two. For two

(Chorus)

Erase my heart
This never was for you
Erase my heart

about

SPELLS Denver, Colorado

SPELLS is a five-piece juggernaut from Denver, CO. They are vacation rock to be exact. They produce short blasts of intense melody and driving rhythms that are custom made to entertain the band members themselves and serve as an excuse to go play shows in cities that have beaches nearby. If your city's best offers include said beach and a good breakfast joint, count them in.
