Lyrics:
We're gone but not better
A lighted match can burn the cabin down he built
It's not long but it matters
Your suit and tie are much too tight in farmersville
My daughter's a goldmine combing the hair of the white waves
A fountain of saphires under the bridges of utah
Instilled in us ethics not by god, but by our choice
I can't even imagine
But i can see it
Tell them all to chop me off
With left handed scissors rusting when you're touched
On marble covered mountains you're the brimstone
When surrounded by comfort cotton floors are of no use
We see in our forecast what we lack in our pockets
Encompassed by standards and we give ourselves all the credit
I can't put my finger on it
But i can see it
Tell them all to chalk me out
With oval arms and hopscotch eyelids
On marble covered mountains you're my cargo
No, you're the brimstone
Yes, you're my cargo
This is the song that gave me the courage to continue living
The most underrated band of all time
A truly beautiful song. I'll never come across another band that could fuse metal/folk/country quite like these guys did. They will be missed the world over.
I listen to them every day
Grazie croix89

Still listening two Decades later. This song got me through my separation from my wife. Very powerful
Pure genius. FTM is the only band that keeps me coming back for more metaphors that I don’t understand. However, I’m beginning to break it down by line by song. Half the time they make me feel like I’m dreaming…. Beautiful compositions. Thank you FTM there are people who appreciate!
I'll never understand how this track didn't made it to Fables... That first 30 seconds is soo surreal. Classic Fair to Midland surreal.
RIP FTM ;_;
shady4091 It did :) but as a bonus track. I finally bought the album a few weeks ago, and was so happy when this song started playing after say when.
Ohhhh, is it remastered or just this version?
This version I think...
Always thought the same!
I Love this Band so much, it's a damn shame they broke up when they did. Their sound would be so damn huge... If there is a God he should've given these guys more grace. Hope they are well.
I always find this song so powerful and mesmerizing.
One of my favs from FTM..how I miss those guys! ❤
i love the 2003 old live show where they performed this at 2 a.m. and the demo number 2.... its magic ..no other word to use...
Fair to Midland are awesome.
+musiclover01ization "was"
Why tf isn't this on Spotify......?
It is now, if you hadn't already noticed
@@inter.funda.stifle for real? By a diffirent name??
@@Perunakeitto92 It's on The Drawn & The Quartered EP. Same name.
@@inter.funda.stifle nooooo oo maybe it's a region thing! Only ones I see are arrows and anchors or Fabled from a mayfly: what I tell you three times Is True 😭😭😭😭😭
@@Perunakeitto92 Oh, damn. Sorry about that.
Wow.
everyone should only use this style of rock
I rather like the fact taht everyone doesn't, it gives it more value. I think once something becomes widely used it loses its meaning a bit
Lmao yes
Just one isn't enough in any case
The way he says scissors always sounded like 'Caesar's' to me. lol
Amazing
awesomee
tremenda banda por dios...
@Llawliet246 Thanks :D I have HD videos for EVERY ftm song on my channel :D just so ya know where to go
ry
i always found the nonsense lyrics of this band fascinating and cringy at the same time
I feel like you could make a story out of them, but it probably won't be the same one as what the singer was thinking of, and I do think everything he wrote had some sort of meaning beyond the words just sounding good together, but it'd be just as good if not.
Nothing nonsense about these lyrics. You picked like one of three FTM songs that isn't cliché horseshit to write that about.

+KuKultin Hughes Hahah, I agree. All music should be this music.
KuKultin Hughes completely disagree. Diversity in music is what makes gems like these stand out more!
