A Place In Your Brain
05:04
|
|||
|
There's a place in your brain
where an ancient moon is sleeping
it has made you create a mystic road
that leads to the memories you are keeping
There's a place in your brain
where an old rusty bottle is waiting
it has made you get opinions on everything
and you've learned to keep hating
|

Everybody stays at home with no job
people ain't got nothing but the blues
the clouds fall down from the sky
life is just like a bar where there ain't no booze
You can't even trust your shadow
because it's not your best friend anymore
the nights can hide the days
in this world full of fear for war
The roosters don't crow in the mornin'
there ain't a mystical bond between wolves and the moon
people lose their paths in the fog of life
our living is just like a soup without a spoon

Simple,Honest & Wise
03:12
|
|||
|
This hypocritical mad society
has brought anxiety in your life
you have to live simply, and be honest and wise
if you want to stay alive
The demands of your ego
have made your life complicated
you have to live simply, and be honest and wise
forget the troubles and the time you have wasted
The blues always lurks in the corner to grab you
but you know that your smile is the best medicine for your sadness
you have to live simply, and be honest and wise
so you stay away from this world's madness
|

Now that the night is over
and I am down to the bone
I can find the broken pieces of my wasted time
walking all alone
I can bring back the smile on your face
And I can follow the path of your colored dreams
wearing my dusty shoes
And walking in the forest with the moonlight beams
|
||||

||||
|
Drinkin' in this juke joint of bitter music
thinkin' of comin' back home again
you have no friends around
your soul is full of pain
Like a skeleton with a pistol in his hand
your crazy laughter is the soundtrack of the night
your mind is on ice
but you will find a shelter in the dawning light
|
||||

I have to be adaptable, brave, calm, decisive and easygoing
fair-minded, generous, hard-working, affable and broad-minded
but people always tell me "It was a really nice try"
I feel like I can't do anything right
I have to be affectionate, careful, diligent, emotional and fearless
gentle, honest, ambitious, compassionate and discreet
but people always tell me "It was a really nice try"
I feel like I can't do anything right
I have to be amiable, conscientious, dynamic, energetic and frank amicable, convivial, friendly, humorous, considerate and funny
but people always tell me "It was a really nice try"
I feel like I can't do anything right

Trapped In A Fox Hole
05:48
|
|||
|
You are on the street walking like an old dog
and your shantytown looks inhospitable in the pouring rain
you are playing a losin game thinking
that you will find your stolen soul again
Times have changed
you can't rock and you can't roll
your music done gone on that midnight train
you are trapped in a fox hole

Some Strange Truths
04:52
|
|||
|
You feel like a child
but not as a useful member of society
some strange truths
have made you live quietly
You are smart as hell
but you don’t feel gifted in any special way
some strange truths
have taught you to pray
You work all the time
but only art makes you breathe in this town
some strange truths
have pulled you further down
|

Come on baby
lay down by my side
our love is the best trip that never ends
and believe me nowadays such a trip is hard to find
Someone is always trying to tell us
trying to tell us how to live
but we have made our own choices and directions
so keep them at bay, they haven't good feelings to give
Now I understand
what most people wanted for me
they wanted to see me down
and living in misery
If you try to play by their rules
it's certain that you will lose your mind
they can't break free from their Jealousy
although their presence looks gracious and kind
I'll protect you baby
every kinda way
don’t believe that the love you are giving them
will come back to you someday

A New Destination
05:12
|
|||
|
It is a cold, dark night...
Your cigarette ash is flying in the air...
Mysterious lights from nowhere are blinding your eyes...
Drunken bums in black raincoats are the heroes of a dirty pavement...
The club is open...
you are looking for a broken tale behind the bar...
The rain just before dawn sounds like a blues song to you...
It 's a new destination...

If you want to replace your frown with a smile
you have to jump the old blue fence of fear
If you want to feel the pleasure of joy that lifts up the spirit
you have to jump the old blue fence of fear
The old blue fence of fear
grows when you are down
it can make you feel like a lonesome stranger
in your own hometown
If you want to turn your nightmares into dreams
you have to jump the old blue fence of fear
If you have the desire to see new places and learn new things
you have to jump the old blue fence of fear
The old blue fence of fear...
If you want to feel satisfied when you help someone else
you have to jump the old blue fence of fear
If you want to be inspired from experiences that can take your breath away you have to jump the old blue fence of fear
The old blue fence of fear...

Break Out Of Your Cage
03:49
|
|||
|
Break out of your cage
before your sadness puts you down
don't lose the sunshine
although you know that all good things happens after sundown
Blink your eyes into darkness
and you 'll see the part you ’d like to keep
it’s time to play
collecting treasures from a trash heap
Don’t let anything get in between you and your madness
forgive the bees that they don't want to take your honey anymore
love your mistakes and don't trust nobody
everybody does his job through the back door
You don't have to run so far
to clean up the dirty days of your past
you have to forget that you were living in hell
and promise to yourself that you will make it fast

All Comes Out Right
03:22
|
|||
|
When the wind screams
you go downtown
when danger is waiting at the corner
you whisper crazy lyrics to the crowd
With a head full of thoughts
you feel alive in the storm of the night
things ain’t like they seem
but all comes out right
You want to erase your traces
and disappear completely
you'd been down many times
people have hurt your feelings deeply
|
||||
14. |
||||
|
Wrapped up in your magic world
that's where I belong
when I throw my arms around you
I feel so strong
Wrapped up in your magic world
my inspiration is your smile
I see the streets no longer empty
As I escape from my exile

The Blues In His Veins
03:58
|
|||
|
He's created his own prison
and he can't cut his chains
his empty glass always wants a whiskey
doctors discovered the blues in his veins
His fears are too big for his mind
and he 's left his drunk soul in an abandoned road
leave him alone to express his feelings
the blues in his veins is about to explode
|

The River
03:24
|
|||
|
Tell me
what the river has done to you
you are always haunted by its waters
it always knows when you feel sad and blue
This river is dangerous for someone to swim in
I would not recommend anyone to cross it by boat
it knows well how to hide its secrets
chances of a sense of reality have become even more remote

Stupid Rules Blues
06:03
|
|||
|
I 'll give you whatever you want babe
my soul looks like a blank check
but please, take all these stupid rules from me
and this blues from around my neck
Just bring your love babe
and leave the rest behind
take all these stupid rules from me
and this blues will no longer be in my mind

Diary of the Shadow
by Thee Holy Strangers
supported by 5 fans who also own “Acoustic & Electric Growls (2019)”
We've waited a long time for Thee Holy Strangers' second album! But yes, it was worth the wait, the band delivered a sophomore made of gold. Rocky, dusty gold, mind you, crude yet pure and beautiful! This is an indie-rock anthem with the distinguish americana style that the band established from the debut. It seems to have a conceptual flow and works really like a time-stopping spell. Great job, it's such a pleasure to hear THS music once again!
