lyrics

Verse 1:
Did you see me on the windswept prairie
I was there waiting for the storm
Did you see me in the frozen forest
I was there trying to stay warm
and didn't you see me in the barren desert
with a wish for the sinking sand
didn't we come to this lonely mountain
with a voice from the singing lands?

Verse 2:
Did you notice that this world is crumbling,
dirty and defined
Did you notice that this world was written
by the architects of time
and didn't you know we are only matter
and it's only a matter of mind
didn't we hold all the gold and riches
that your beauty ever finds?

Chorus:
Tell me the story of your life
is it a labyrinth to unwind
if we go in it will we find
the beast, the burdens and the feast
and all the lessons of your life
the arc of love and strife
and the reason?

Verse 3:
Did your love lost leave you fallen
like a deer in a winter's storm
did your frail heart stand forgotten
like a child in a world of scorn?
and didn't they say that we are only matter
and it's only a matter of mind
but how could we come to this lonely mountain
just to leave ourselves behind?

Chorus 2:
Tell me the story of your life
is it a labyrinth to unwind
if we go in it will we find
the beast, the burdens, and the feast
and all the lessons of your life
the arc of love and strife
the reason we are here
to tread through hope and fear
and slip upon the ice
of lonely days and nights
and you're the reason

The Shiz Hammond, Louisiana

From the soul of the South comes The Shiz. Indie Rock meets the Louisiana roux of Liz Hogan and Lilli Lewis, two front women who feel more like conjurers than beauty queens. The Shiz is hellbent on putting meaning back in the mainstream, and they do so with a compelling transparency and with hearts thumping hard in their chests - Unexpectedly stirring, and a damned good time. ... more
