New Song: Shipwreck

Shipwreck - B.Bringelson 2010

lyrics:

the ancient walls were cracked and broken
nothing was revealed
the silent shipwreck now has spoken
the letters have been sealed

no no no the water found us
no no no it was all around us
no no no our graveyard is the sea

i don't have time to stand beside you
she once said to me
while on this boat i won't be lied to
i could finally see

no no no the water found us
no no no it was all around us
no no no our graveyard is the sea

we are lost inside a shipwreck, broken bodies with no suspect
the sea is full of foolish things that moon and tide and current brings and
i would wait for you, though you'd never want me to
and i don't know what to say, but a shipwreck sounds ok
cause at least then, you would stay

in the dead of night i sometimes i hear you
in the middle of the sea
and i try so hard to just be near you
why can't you try for me?

no no no the water found us
no no no it was all around us
no no no our graveyard is the sea

we are lost inside a shipwreck, broken bodies with no suspect
the sea is full of foolish things that moon and tide and current brings and
i would wait for you, though you'd never want me to
and i don't know what to say, but a shipwreck sounds ok
cause at least then, you would stay

New Song: It Was Too Late

It Was Too Late

Download Mp3 Here

lyrics:

desperate are you now, you seem to cling because you're lonely
and now your coming to the coast, with awards you've brought to show me
i can see you lying there inside a home i know you hate
taking poems to the pier, but darling now its much too late

it was too late, i should have stayed
i should have never gone with you, but then you said it'd be ok
it was too late, i should have stayed
i should have never gone with you, but then you said it'd be ok

and we said we wouldn't talk about the night we were alone
yet everybody soon found out, you wanted to be known
you tried to break him down you nearly drown him with your words
got everybody talking, tearing photos down to thirds

it was too late, i should have stayed
i should have never gone with you, but then you said it'd be ok
it was too late, i should have stayed
i should have never gone with you, but then you said it'd be ok

now the doctor calls you out but you decide to let him in
with the double life you lead it must be hard to ever win
so everybody gets it, now you have another man
but you better hold him close and tell him secrets while you can

it was too late, i should have stayed
i should have never gone with you, but then you said it'd be ok
it was too late, i should have stayed
i should have never gone with you, but then you said it'd be ok
