When We Live

by Dead Indian

supported by

Bucky While the first EP 'Lead Me To the Sky' had a more primitive edge, 'When We Live' stands firmly in the grunge era adding the modern elements of powerful indie groove. The only difference between Dead Indian and Nirvana at their peak is Dead Indian isn't really dead. Meant 100% as a compliment. Favorite track: If the Sun is Real.

when we are young we clothe ourselves and go walking in the rain when we are young we will try to hide the mistakes we have made when we are old, the young will come from behind and push us in our graves when we are old we will leave behind everything that we gained i don't wanna find myself i don't wanna find myself cause they treat you and they beat you and they eat you yea yea yea yea

Everything lasts until it leaves my mind This ain't no place for a young man And as we tumble through the years gone by It's still too strange to understand Strange to understand Wise is the man who can let it go Let it flow and roll and run downstream But when the man comes knocking at my door Well then I'll know it's time to leave And if the sun is real, I'm gonna make it happen And if the sky is real, I'm gonna make it happen And if the sun is real, I'm gonna make it happen And if the sky is real, I'm gonna make it happen And after we've been here ten hundred years And can't agree what it's all for I think I'll string up my guitar again I will not worry anymore And if the sun is real, I'm gonna make it happen And if the sky is real, I'm gonna make it happen And if the sun is real, I'm gonna make it happen And if the sky is real, I'm gonna make it happen

Exodus 03:29
Oxygen, may I use you today again I know it's a waste, 'til I find my place Or I make my Exodus Gravity, hold me fast to the Earth again Teach me I'm real, show me how to feel Bind me to the land again Promises lie and wind me back wrong again Cover me with your talk, I'd just as soon walk I don't need no more promises Oh and vanity, you can't rest your old yoke on me You are all that I hate, your wealth and your weight Your pull in society

I built the mountains, I drank the lake dream I rule the day glow from my sleep I fought the pavement, I made the dry land I hold the clouds up, I am the preacher And I'm shakin' now And I'm shakin' now And I'm shakin' now You don't know what it's like You don't know what it's like High-five the god hand, I smoke from the river and I- I made the map world and I, I form dividers and I- I raze the skyline, I taste the embers I salt the dead Earth, so I won't remember And I'm shakin' now And I'm shakin' now And I'm shakin' now You don't know what it's like You don't know what it's like

Christine 04:20
Christine will your voice ever show How you are in your soul? Christine, hormones and dreams, Christine Christine will we ever find out What your shit is about? Christine, peaches and cream, Christine Shake the dust from your feet This whole life is a dream, Christine Hormones and dreams, Christine Peaches and cream, Christine Christine you left nature to die Can you teach us to hide? Christine, hormones and dreams, Christine And Christine, you keep god up at night Or maybe he's sleeping just fine Christine, peaches and cream, Christine Shake the dust from your feet This whole life is a dream, Christine Hormones and dreams, Christine Most folks talk, they can't see, Christine This damn world is so mean, Christine If it lives it can bleed, Christine

When We Die 03:41
Your life, you lead it bleakly Spreads through days and nights and days It meanders down it's path until Your senses start to fade And the lies we're told when we were young Break down and blow again Until nothing more is black and white In fact, it's very grey And then we remember being young How did it get undone? You're sprawling, searching for the answers Life can be lost, but it can't be won It can't be won And if it's peace we find it dying Spirit, let the time be near I'm not scared of myths and legends If heaven's calling I can't hear But all things are truly weary and it pains to even say Nothing new beneath the sky All things just die and pass away All is strange- it's too much for the mind We'll keep spinning in the sky Fill your senses, live it hard now Like you're running out of time Running out of time All is strange- it's too much for the mind Wheel keep spinning in the sky Fill your senses, live it hard now Like you're running out of time Running out of time
9.
I know you plan to take me over And I fear as though you've won your game Just don't fall in love with me Don't even let your friends know my name And I'll put my arms up around you When you're bleedin' and you've come unglued You said that you've been here before And I didn't mean to take you there And if we could brush ourselves off Would we like what all was underneath Would we find a way to cover up crown of thorns Wear it like a wreath And I can't count up all the kids Hung up on crosses that they didn't make Was it you and I Or did they climb up and say, 'I'm here to stay' Can I be understood playin' my songs Or am I too damn strange You landed plastered on my porch And I was telling you you've got to change And you can pillage what I am if it helps you get the things you need Could call it all how it is You said, 'rape me' I say, 'if it lives it bleeds.' And I wish I drowned in the river When I stumbled in I reckon just a part of me did Now it's missing I can't get it back I've been grinding my teeth in my sleep And you've been wide awake Let's get up smoke a cigarette It's six AM- tell the sun to come up And when the sun is comin' up I leave my number and I walk away Give it time and I'll get well I just need a few more sober days I saw myself last night in a dream And it's not that great I really wanna die sometimes Don't understand the force that's stopping me And I'd like to take back all the shit I've done But it's too damn late Sit and drink my jar of fire Feel my consciousness dissipate
