lyrics

THEN IT’S ALL MY FAULT, I’VE TRUSTED YOU LIKE A FRIEND
AN ODD CIRCUMSTANCE SURROUNDED BY THE EVIL OF MY OWN SOUL

MUZZLED AND BROKEN AS A HOSTAGE OF MYSELF
I PICK UP YOUR CRUMBLES WHILE I HOLD A GUN TO MY OWN HEAD

I SHOT AND DIED AND I NEEDED TO DIE
TO FREE MYSELF FROM THE NONSENSICAL LIE
GUILT IN MIND, PARALYZED, I HEAR THE DRUMS OFF…

THEY CAN DESTROY YOU, THEY CAN OWN YOU
I TRY TO WAVE AND SMILE
I’M JUST STAYING ALIVE

IF I COULD SPEAK MY MIND TO YOU
YOU WOULD NOT LIKE IT AT ALL
I’M JUST STAYING ALIVE

THEN IT’S ALL MY FAULT FOR BEING SO SICK AND TIRED
BECAUSE I LEFT YOUR HOMEGROUND
IT’S MY CHOICE AND I HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT, SO…

A NIGHTMARE COMES TO ME EVERY TIME
A VOICE ON THE PHONE THAT SHOUTS ALOUD
“YOU ARE LAZY AND STUPID. WHY INSIST ON COMPLAINING, YOU FOOL?”

IS IT ENOUGH FOR YOU? IS IT ENOUGH FOR YOU? IS IT ENOUGH FOR YOU?
I'M YOUR GHOST NOW…

IF I COULD SPEAK MY MIND TO YOU
YOU WOULD NOT LIKE IT AT ALL
I’M JUST STAYING ALIVE

IF I COULD GIVE AN ADVICE FOR YOU
BUT THERE IS NO REASON AT ALL
I’M JUST STAYING ALIVE

I SHOT AND DIED AND I NEEDED TO DIE
TO FREE MYSELF FROM THE NONSENSICAL LIE
GUILT IN MIND, PARALYZED, NOW I KNOW WHY…

IF I COULD SPEAK MY MIND TO YOU
YOU WOULD NOT LIKE IT AT ALL
I’M JUST STAYING ALIVE

IF I COULD GIVE AN ADVICE FOR YOU
BUT THERE IS NO REASON AT ALL
I’M JUST STAYING ALIVE

The September Guests São Paulo, Brazil

The September Guests surge da reverberação introspectiva das cordas de Fernando Lalli (ex-Seamus), amplificada por Sérgio Ugeda (bateria), Adriano Montoro (baixo) e Alexandre Lima (guitarra). Sob a influência de Neil Young, Sebadoh, Slowdive, R.E.M. e Guided By Voices, o September usa como matéria-prima os acordes abertos, as mesas de bar e as cicatrizes das décadas na estrada. ... more
