By that Name

I like the words to this song. I like the music to this song as well. Some songs are a big thing, they are a huge indication of who I am or how I feel. But this song just took its own personality, and doesn't take itself too seriously.

By that Name

Verse
Cigarette case and a well pressed suit,
Black tie mismatching his snake skin boots, he
Calls his friends and tells them the news,
"The elephant in the room has died."

The hour waits on the second hand,
As it travels around the earth again.
You feel him crawl underneath your skin, you
Try your best not to cry.

Chorus
You want two hearts to beat as one.
You want an empty shell instead of a gun.
You want someone who you know love could reclaim,
But there ain't nobody here that goes by that name.

Verse
You fake everything else, why not fake a smile.
If it'll keep 'em at bay for a little while.
You see your dreams as an unborn child
Your mind has yet to abort.

He's just black, greasy hair without a spine,
With eyes as shallow as the side of a dime.
If you look close enough you'll go back in time,
And see what all of this is worth.

Chorus
You want two hearts to beat as one.
You want an empty shell instead of a gun.
You want someone who you know love could reclaim,
But there ain't nobody here that goes by that name.

Chorus (Key Change)
You want a blue sky with your name in the clouds.
You want a white veil and an egg-white shroud.
You want someone to throw them self in front of the train,
But there ain't nobody here that goes by that name.
Lord, there ain't nobody anywhere... that goes by that name.
