I felt the weight shift when the cables snapped I felt steel and stone cracking in the wind I'm still falling down Caught on the wind like a feather I'm still falling down Waiting to drown in the river below I felt the window shatter on impact I felt metal twisting around my chest I'm still falling down Caught on the wind like a feather I'm still falling down Waiting to drown in the river below Then the moment came The water swallowed me Buried in the river The Ohio became my grave

I curse the gods who turned you from A lover to a stranger I curse the distance that wedged itself In between you and me Every brick in this house Reminds me that you're not here Every reason I have to stay I can't think of any without you I curse the years that came and went They changed you but left me the same It turns out time is a funny thing The way it gets away from us Every stone I left unturned Reminds me that you're not here I think of the reasons I have to stay Well there aren't many without you Every brick in this house Reminds me that you're not here Every reason I have to stay I can't think of any without you Every stone I left unturned Reminds me that you're not here I think of the reasons I have to stay Well there aren't many without you

Seven nights I sailed a raging current Seven nights I hoped to find Your heart on the riverbed Your admiration on the bank I lost your love in the current I saw it carried out to sea I lost your love in the undertow I saw it dragged down below Seven nights I stared into the ocean Seven nights I hoped to find Your heart on the endless sea Your admiration on the waves I lost your love in the current I saw it carried out to sea I lost your love in the undertow I saw it dragged down below I built a place just for us I sealed it up with mud and reeds I built a tower on the coast I watched the tide ebb and flow I lost your love in the current I saw it carried out to sea I lost your love in the undertow I saw it dragged down below

Your hands stay still Is that what you waited for? Your eyes stay closed Tell her what you're waiting for For the right time, for forgiveness Is it not like it was when it was in your head? Is she not the way you think should feel or be? Your heart stays cold Is hers what you're beating for? Your arms stay closed Tell her what you're hoping for For the right time, for forgiveness Is it not like it was when it was in your head? Is she not the way you think should feel or be? She said, "If that's not a rush I don't know what is." Is it not like it was when it was in your head? Is she not the way you think should feel or be?

Tell me, does it feel right? You keep me awake at night I can't sleep with you in my bed I think that you delight In watching me twist and turn You make it rain every day inside my head Tell me, does it feel right? You make me question everything I can't help but second guess myself I think that you take pride In sewing my fields with doubt You make it rain every day inside my head You are a cloud turning gray Weighed down beneath my gaze I'll tear you out of the sky To spare me the storm You make it rain every day inside my head Tell me, does it feel right?

It's always been easy to hate the winter When the cold took you away But now spring only serves to remind me Of the life that will never bloom again I can't wait to live in the ruins Of the life you weren't content to live Summer's heat leaves me feeling cold Yours is the only warmth I want Autumn leaves make me feel so empty As barren as the branches above I can't wait to live in the ruins Of the life you weren't content to live Winter comes again, but you stay gone Life beings anew, but not yours Days grow long and warm, but you stay cold Leaves begin to fall where you lay I can't wait to live in the ruins Of the life you weren't content to live I can't wait for all of this to end And only then will I see you again

about

Cazador Dallas, Texas

Cazador is a project by Dallas-based musician Michael Miranda, inspired by all the ridiculous emo shit he listened to as a teenager. Indulge in the dulcet tones of one man’s inescapable depression and constantly-unfolding existential crisis as he delivers song after song about his inability to cope with being a real boy. ... more
