    Man...what a great song and performance. I don’t understand why people argue about someone’s taste in music. The awesome thing about music is it’s all subjective and if a band or song takes away pain, gives you some euphoria in the pit of your stomach, or reminds you of a memory from a better time of your life in the past...then it’s a great thing and served it’s purpose. Stop arguing and just find that song that does that for you, if someone else doesn’t find that same rare feeling then that’s their loss.

    Come and see
    Where are we
    This everything
    On my knees
    To beat it down
    To get to my soul
    I guessed my way
    Anyone can tell it's you coming
    But baby, don't mind
    Leave it on a lie
    Leave it your own way
    Come and ride away
    It's easier to stick to the earth
    Surrounded by the night
    Surrounded by the night
    And you don't go home
    But you abuse my faith
    Losing every time but I don't know where
    You're on my side again
    So ride the key wherever it goes
    I'll be the one, I can't, whoo!
    You're all I've got to wait
    You're running in the dark
    When I come to my soul
    Try and see it through the dark
    It's coming my way
    Well we won't get lost inside again babe
    Am I right? no one sees you, anyone, around here waiting
    They don't mind, they don't hear; I hear
    For the best way-oh, you're mine, against it
    I would keep you here, but I can't
    Oh, I am trying to see the right, right way,
    And I don't see it anywhere I go, yeah... woo!
    She's on my side again
    The easy way
    I come to my soul
    Walking in the downtown
    Talk to my soul
    They won't get lost inside again
    On my way
    I can see it the darkness coming my way
    Well we're here
    Don't get lost inside
    Yeah you won't get lost inside at all
    You're on my way
    Woo!
