lyrics

Now we're reading these last rites
only for the chance
that it's our own found love
saving us from this last dance.

Throwing it all away
shouldn't be so hard
but it's our own found fears
sinking us into the floorboards.

Peeking out for only the reasons
we had known before
and as life passes us by,
we're hoping for more to hold on to.
Rivals are communicating
and keeping their tabs on our score.

If I try to find you,
could I be beside you?
Running all around with my lights
blown out in this crowded train.

Tripping over old ladies' suitcases,
their hot coffee spills and
just one slip and I fall over
with no dream left to hold on to.

Now we're breathing and heaving
in our lonely cell.
Our moment's passed us by
and left us prone on the floor.
It was a captivating, insane game
but lost upon our own.

If I try to find you,
could I be beside you?
Jumping all around,
kids screaming about,
I climb to my rue.

But I'm caught between cars
with both doors locked,
the wind's freezing my tears as I fear
my time's already over, save yourself;
save yourself to be somebody new.
Be somebody new.

Jason Vitelli New York, New York

Cinematic rock music with a vision; this is Jason's sound in a nutshell. His songs are vignettes, narratives, painting a picture with intertwining lyrics and melody. Much of his writing is influenced by the experimental rock of the late 1970’s, marrying folk sentiment with the avant-garde crosscurrent of Berlin era Bowie, Kate Bush, Olivier Messiaen, James Joyce and Eric Dolphy. ... more
