lyrics

What a hard-hearted way
that you gaze into me
How you hate what you see
that reminds you of you
I'm not brave, but I'm not afraid
of mistakes I have made
But you won't let them fade
What can I do for you?

Livin's hard enough
I would date call this love
Still I feel something there
Wish that I didn't care

At least I no longer fear the mirror, I might
Stand in unbecoming light
and it's alright
Fitful wings will cut the air
Into packs of magic cards
Disappear my heavy heart
I came out in one piece

What a hard-hearted way
that you gaze into me
How you hate what you see
That reminds you of you
It took time, really had to fight
oh, my head wasn't right
Now it's hard not to cry
When I think of you

Livin's hard enough
I wouldn't dare call this love
Still I feel something there
Wish that i didn't care

At least I no longer fear the mirror, I might
stand in unbecoming light
and it's alright
I played it to the hilt because
I had nowhere to run
Jesus, look how far I've come
does my strength scare you?

Tele Novella Austin, Texas

Tele Novella is a project out of Lockhart, Texas--a small town lost in time---where their classic and sincere pop songwriting is slowly processed through a loner medieval-tonk machine and then captured on cassette 8-track. Their latest record, Poet's Tooth, steers the duo’s whimsical western-tinted balladry in fascinating new directions. It's out now on Kill Rock Stars. ... more
