lyrics

In time, maybe I
can find a life
alive in open doors,
engrossed in chords,
the known is more misleading.

I've grown with the
unknown in me
the tale is quick to tell
itself given the chance
your health is in my hands
you've put my words on a pedestal

You wanna get closer to me
but you need a remedy
for all of the drama between you and you

you wanna get closer to me
but you need a remedy
for all of the drama between you and you

you wanna get closer to me
but you need a remedy
for all of the drama between you and you

you wanna get closer to me
but you need a remedy
for all of the drama between you and you

'Cause now it seems
you place your dreams of we
in the palm of my hands.
Time and its sands,
they pass on hours second-hand

I don't know
how to find your
heart when I've lost mine, you
can't build houses on a flimsy rock

Given the chance
drop all the song and dance
I can't exist on your pedestal

You wanna get closer to me
but you need a remedy
for all of the drama between you and you

you wanna get closer to me
but you need a remedy
for all of the drama between you and you

When I hear talk of gold,
talk of riches talk of woes,
and the inevitable,

holding tight to our souls,
like an ever-present mold,
we survive, latching onto hearts.

Comfort unfolds
like a silent sniper's cold, unflinching
stare down the hole

Like the watchers of the world
from afar, we unload
all our problems on our partners' hearts

Like papers we unfold
telling tales, young and old
all the riches and the golden wreaths
we lay upon our dead
when their minds leave their heads

a solo journey is another way

You wanna get closer to me
but you need a remedy
for all of the drama between you and you

you wanna get closer to me
but you need a remedy
for all of the drama between you and you

you wanna get closer to me
but you need a remedy
for all of the drama between you and you

you wanna get closer to me
but you need a remedy
for all of the drama between you and you

you wanna get closer to me
but you need a remedy
for all of the drama between you and you

you wanna get closer to me
but you need a remedy
for all of the drama between you and you

about

Michael Mayo image

Michael Mayo New York, New York

Michael Mayo approaches his voice as a musical instrument, but in often unexpected ways — with Brian Wilson-style pop harmonies, Stevie Wonder R&B, drum and bass, inspired by a line from poets, and even hip-hop. Even with his classical training, Mayo’s music is a seamless blend of alternative and neo-soul elements, a unique combination that defies genre. ... more
