Lyrics by Seth Hendricks

lyrics

Not out of sight you're out of mind
When you there you are the vessel for
An evil eye, sharp turn.
Be careful and ignored.
And try to take control of yourself
Cause getting back up can be a fight.
The only thing that holds your ego in
Is knowing you were always right.
And watch it as it comes in waves.
You'll feel it as it makes you sway.
You're attitude is all you got
It tells you what to be and what you're not.

Your heart of gold is getting heavy, it's bringing you down.
I guess its lonely being better than everyone else.
So claim your fate cause it's gonna come and find you out.
You bring it on yourself, no one can help you now.

These self-inflicted tragic lies
Your crown of thorns to thin and help disguise
What's going on inside those lost and helpless eyes.
A precious little pulse of pain
that cries out as it spills in vain.
You're out of sight, not out of time
It's the trust you want that gets you by.

Your heart of gold is getting heavy and it's bringing you down.
It burrows down a dark hole as it sinks to the ground.
So claim your fate cause it's gonna come and find you out.
Take a deep breath as your dark horse falls to the ground.

You have learned to speak. Can you learn to stand?

Your heart of gold is getting heavy, it's bringing you down.
It gets lonely being better than everyone else.
So claim your fate cause it's gonna come and find you out.
You bring it on yourself, no one can help you now.

Can you learn to stand?
No one can help you now.

about

Rainy Day Manual Memphis

Forged in the fires of quixotic ambition; tempered in the ruthless grind of urban chagrin. The seed of Rainy Day Manual is germinated by one thought, "To make others happy, you must first make yourself happy."
