When I Die (Intro)

When I die
I heard there's a place in the sky
There won't be guts, but there will be glory
Will there be any room for me?
When I die, should I be somebody else?

This fight is easily the hardest one I've fought
But you know me, I always read
Into this sort of thing a lot
But I can't remember a worse contender
Than my own thoughts
When I put out my hands, my mind just ties the knots
I think you know me, 'cause we are the same
Why don't you show me?
Let's put this evil to bed
Now that I see you my brothers and sisters
I'm only alone in my head

You're so different from me
I've only known mountains and Ohio
And you cast your heart into the sea
You taste the salt on your lips
And brush the sand off of your feet
I grip the roots of these trees
You're so different from me
Oh, Silent Maria
I'm setting sail, I'm sorry to leave ya
When the moon pulls out the tide
I'm gonna feel high when I leave the marina tonight
I'm so different from you
Not only in the way you're thinking of me
So I swam into the ocean blue
A captain would never have taken that bait
The more that you dangle, the more that I wait
And we're taking in more than our
Buckets could ever hold to begin with
Silent Maria
I'm setting sail, I'm sorry to leave ya
When the moon pulls out the tide
I'm gonna feel high
When I leave the marina tonight
Silent Maria
I'm setting sail, I'm sorry to leave ya
When the moon pulls out the tide
I'm gonna feel high when I leave the marina
And that's all right
You taste the salt on your lips
And brush the sand off of your feet
I grip the roots of these trees
You're so different from me

Real Thoughts

Keep me in your mind and heart
The way you'd like
I've got no better words to say
Besides, it's the end of the day
When real thoughts have taken place
What can I say?
We've boarded up these fantasies
No longer will most of them bother me
Take your turn, learn your lessons
I've got extra pleas, I'm fresh out of questions
But what else can I do
When real thoughts have taken hold
Of doubt within you?
Keep me in your mind and heart
The way you'd like

No Good News

Sometimes I wonder how You exist
'Cause You're too good to get with this
Sometimes I wonder how You exist
You're too good to die for this
I was just sitting here, sucking blood
While hiding my Love under my tongue
And then the cushions with open indents
Welcomed back my knees again
Is this mall dead? Am I too late
To see what it was like before
The cashiers pulled down all their gates
And left a glue mark on the floor?
Sometimes I wonder how You exist
'Cause You're too good to get with this
Sometimes I wonder how You exist
You're too good to die like this
I was just minding mine, drinking wine
While melting some crumbs under my tongue
And then the floor with nothing more
Felt like we had met before
[Is this mall dead?]
Has this place gone out of this room?
Has this become a building now?
It feels just like an empty tomb
With no Good News

When I Die (Outro)

When I die
I know there's a place in the sky
There won't be guts, but there will be glory
Will there be any room for me?
When I die, should I be somebody else?
I heard You came through
And You saw me sinning from across the room
Pay no mind
When I die, I'll be somebody else
Box me up
Take me to the truck
But first, grab a marker
Say I was messed up but now I'm fine
The attic is mine when I die
I was messed up but now I'm fine
The attic is mine when I die

Hi, I'm Mark and I'm in my heaD way too much.

The Ark & The Amateur
by The Brothers Kaschak
Please stop accusing me of bias. This is just your average, run-of-the-mill debut album by a duo that I'm actually a part of with my brother. Totally fair. Have it.

Zac Little (frontman) is one of the greatest lyricists on the planet, and Maryn Jones (vocals, bass) is one of the greatest vocalists on the planet, and they play this music TOGETHER. Yeah. I know.

A huge slap in the face to any artist shelling out top-budget cash to make their records sound half as great. The aforementioned Maryn Jones is a guest vocalist on my favorite track in the world ever.
