lyrics
It was the way that I saw you,
I put it out into your soul.
Maybe I could sing a lullaby for you?
Say the word, say the word and I...
Oh, I was on a battlefield,
I could barely scream, I could barely survive.
Tell me what you’re all about.
Is it fine for me to pine for you?
Well, oh it’s well for me to face my heart,
Because I think it’s been waiting for you to tell me:
What am I ought to be feeling?
Tell me is it easy, is it easy for you?
To shine a light in my life everyday,
To shine a light, a light, a light, oh…
Oh, I was on a battlefield,
I could barely scream, I could barely survive.
Oh, save it all in a pile.
He said "It’s strange, if I go home."
And oh, you need it more than you sigh,
It’s a frame you can break with life.
And then you say, that "I go home,
And the rains go white."
And then you go, and you tell me I don’t know,
But I was hoping to find, and it's fine all the time, oh…
Oh, I was on a battlefield,
I could barely scream, I could barely survive.
I put it out into your soul.
Maybe I could sing a lullaby for you?
Say the word, say the word and I...
Oh, I was on a battlefield,
I could barely scream, I could barely survive.
Tell me what you’re all about.
Is it fine for me to pine for you?
Well, oh it’s well for me to face my heart,
Because I think it’s been waiting for you to tell me:
What am I ought to be feeling?
Tell me is it easy, is it easy for you?
To shine a light in my life everyday,
To shine a light, a light, a light, oh…
Oh, I was on a battlefield,
I could barely scream, I could barely survive.
Oh, save it all in a pile.
He said "It’s strange, if I go home."
And oh, you need it more than you sigh,
It’s a frame you can break with life.
And then you say, that "I go home,
And the rains go white."
And then you go, and you tell me I don’t know,
But I was hoping to find, and it's fine all the time, oh…
Oh, I was on a battlefield,
I could barely scream, I could barely survive.

about
The Marks Toronto, Ontario
Vocalist/guitarist Alex, a singer-songwriter and regular performer in the Toronto music scene, met guitarist-turned-drummer Jason in the summer of 2012. Jason’s transition to drums was so seamless that they started writing & performing right away. Bassist Nick—student of urban sustainability by day—brought vocal harmonies, a real love of folk music, and, in time, a moustache too. ... more
