about
Composed in 2007, originally track 7 of the Murder on the Dancefloor E.P. by Murder on the Dancefloor
lyrics
Did the world turn on its head while I was sleeping?
(You held me up so high, you held me up so high)
All those opportunities, suddenly the last one's leaving
(You held me up so high, you held me up so high)
So many promises, you gave the world to me
You told me I was yours, why couldn't I see?
So many promises, you threw them back at me
How could you ruin us? Now you mean nothing to me
I gave it all to you, you promised me the sky
Then tore it all away, how much was a lie?
I gave it all for you, I left my friends to die
You ruined me and now I'm left behind
Almost a year now, since I saw your smile
(You held me up so high, you held me up so high)
You lost me in your eyes, I can't believe that you're gone
And you'll never be the one
So many promises, you gave the world to me
You told me I was yours, why couldn't I see?
So many promises, you threw them back at me
How could you ruin us? Now you mean nothing to me
I gave it all to you, you promised me the sky
Then tore it all away, how much was a lie?
I gave it all for you, I left my friends to die
You ruined me and now I'm left behind
How could you take my life and leave it all as ash?
This cycle won't end, mine ends by broken glass
Broken glass
(You held me up so high, you held me up so high)
All those opportunities, suddenly the last one's leaving
(You held me up so high, you held me up so high)
So many promises, you gave the world to me
You told me I was yours, why couldn't I see?
So many promises, you threw them back at me
How could you ruin us? Now you mean nothing to me
I gave it all to you, you promised me the sky
Then tore it all away, how much was a lie?
I gave it all for you, I left my friends to die
You ruined me and now I'm left behind
Almost a year now, since I saw your smile
(You held me up so high, you held me up so high)
You lost me in your eyes, I can't believe that you're gone
And you'll never be the one
So many promises, you gave the world to me
You told me I was yours, why couldn't I see?
So many promises, you threw them back at me
How could you ruin us? Now you mean nothing to me
I gave it all to you, you promised me the sky
Then tore it all away, how much was a lie?
I gave it all for you, I left my friends to die
You ruined me and now I'm left behind
How could you take my life and leave it all as ash?
This cycle won't end, mine ends by broken glass
Broken glass

Your music connects on every level, whether it’s physical, emotional or spiritual. Impressive musicianship and song writing. Love how you leave this undefined space for us listeners to draw our own images and blend in our own personal lives when listening. Beacons is one of my favorite albums of all time!

Let Yourself Be Huge
by Cloudkickersupported by 4 fans who also own “300”
I still remember when this album released and all the intense euphoric melancholy that accompanied me while listening. You and Yours always reminds me of Christmas. Love this band and album!
