Bouncing Evening I came to this Bouncing evening Awake for Just a dose of fire So I guess I'll be leaving Tread slow but steadfast Leave me in the past I love you just today My will, it's getting stronger. I can trade a wink for a smile But afraid to touch your body Uncertain of what will Come to pass tomorrow Your bed is unmade And my head is throbbing Let's celebrate a return Of yesterday's tomorrow. I'll ridicule the sun her Face now rages hotter And you still wonder why I sleep through the day Would you love me in spring Emotions run unstable But the sex is great It's a trifling thing To know I are unable And always too late I can bide all my time But it doesn't mean you'll wait Doesn't mean you should I've learned to love you I did it really well Just never learned to say it

Capo #1 05:17
Was I wrong to let this stay? ‘Cause I flew and I fell, but was welcomed back unconditionally. It was my choice to live m life this way (and I was wrong) but a choice is a choice I’m gonna carry on anyways Remorse in my left hand I’m gonna let it loose. Experience in my right I’m gonna hold on tight. If you want I will find all that have wronged you. I’ll set em up in a straight line and put different colored blindfolds over their eyes. (Then I’ll give you the gun) send em back to where they came from. Remorse in my left hand I’m gonna let it loose. Experience in my right I’m gonna hold on tight. All these frail blue eyes set em free to make me more then who I’m meant to be. Oh what a sick and fleeting feeling revenge we love here, but she hates us. If I could find something inside of me to make me more than who I am trying to be then this distance wouldn’t be that bad wouldn’t be so bad wouldn’t be as bad as it seems.

When I am far away From home I allow my skin To become warm. I let myself ease Free! To form In the air A storm Of my design To create Life of my own. Blood, Drain my soul Trust In my Hands Revive my mind Healing bones, Getting back to the state In which I was born Free!

I walk with the wind at my back. This gale lifts my feet off the ground. If I turned and cut on back through it would mean the world to you. I fall to my knees as I reach my home Take time to sleep now you can breathe With me and so deeply Give me burdens So suddenly yours become my own. Still only with me in my head. Take time to sleep restless beauty give in to me now you can breathe. Still only with me in my head. Still only with me in my dreams. If I turned and cut on back through it would mean the world to you.

Capo #3 (Merely Me) Every night if I could breathe this close to you. Then there would be no need to dream. Because life would be the way it seemed when I used to believe in things like mountains and the silent seas. I’m merely me. No matter how far I’ve come I’m still this far. I can’t turnaround I was made to push on. If you touched your hand to my head you would wake me from this death that consumes and constricts. It’s like god’s hand is wrapped around my neck. I am gone, my spirit’s lost, I can’t change my mind to carry on, and place my dreams where they belong. I’m merely me.

Dragged By Her Tongue Talks too much talks to loud Silence wrapped in shroud You can’t drown it out The language screamed and shout The vowels hit the floor She races for the door I left my mind behind And I can’t take this much more. The words hurt they slice The verbs that she sung She deserves to be Dragged by her tongue. I always find the hate Between every word Block it out, drown it out So it can’t be heard. Hold her down Produce the wound There’s no gauging how much blood was consumed. And it’s cold where you are A thousand miles too far So I will chase you Until you escape. Cut a slice of meaning I’ll just quit complaining I try hard to make you see Cut off another piece of me Bash my head against this wall Trying to explain it all I press on without your thoughts claiming everything’s my fault. I want this to be perfect I wish this would never end Never wanted to write these words Never wanted to hit send But I found another way I wake up every day Hoping you’ll come out to play The real you The one I used to know... And it’s cold where you are A thousand miles too far I’ve cut you in two So now we wait. Against her will she was dragged by her tongue Lying still she was pulled and was tugged Screaming shrill she was made then undone Killed and filled they were cut until they succumbed. Against her will she was dragged by her tongue She left us clues to unearth Her body-bag. Lying still she was pulled and was tugged Though we managed to save her by sewing Seeds in her sides. Screaming shrill she was made then undone Killed and filled they were cut until they succumbed Against her will she was dragged by her tongue Never blessed the method to rescue Never return to home.

about

This is the fourth release by Pedrodomus. For those who don’t know Pedrodomus is Pete Cornell and his rotating cast of characters (Memo, Deferlow, Chris Marrone, and others.) This album is laden with acoustic and electric guitars, vocals, and other live instruments. Previous Pedrodomus albums have relied heavily on electronic instruments and sequencing. This album attempts to bridge the gap to a more acoustic landscape. Dealing with themes such as growing older, facing death, and old and new love, Pete has found a new sense of honesty in his music. That is on display throughout I’m Not Dying in the form of exposed vocal lines and nostalgic acoustic guitars. Old fans of Pedrodomus will not be disappointed as this is merely the next progression of the Pedrodomus sound we have come to know. In 2014 Look for Pete as he takes his show the road to promote the release of I’m Not Dying.
