Vermilion

Matthew Good Band

2

Take me to the shore

And wrap me in a blind tomorrow

I won't fight no more

And I won't scream

Maybe we'll be washed away

Maybe I just need a holiday

This time we'll get

A room with a view and a velvet painting

And this time we'll stay inside

Until the lights go down

Over the palm trees and the sand

Buy me the blue sky

And wrap me in clouds of blasphemy

In the end I won't ask why

You can do what you want with me

Maybe we'll be thrown away

Maybe we just need a holiday

This time we'll get

A room with a view and a velvet painting

And this time we'll stay inside

Until the lights come up

And everything's vermilion

Take me to the shore

And throw me into the water

I won't fight no more

No, I won't say a thing

This time we'll get

A room with a view and a velvet painting

And this time we'll stay inside

Until the lights come up

And everything's vermilion

Every Name Is My Name

I made a movie about the end of the world

It was 12 seconds long and it didn't have a plot

It just happens

And that's why it's in black and white

The characters don't talk or move around

They just stare up at the sky, frozen

And the light, the light is numb, the light is off

The light is just a thumb nail sketch of God

God...

Somewhere, someone is crying

The camera sweeps over a desolate street

Holding a mother and her child

The kid is calm and she is shaking

The camera passes into the sun

Come at last to be undone

Panicking, she tries to run

The kid is calm

And then the credits roll

And every name is my name
