She prays for the light to shine down She prays for the ocean to hold her It’s her only pure salvation, her only destination And it’s hers. And it’s hers. She sits and turns the lights down low Watched the sky cry through the window She begs for mercy and counts the butterflies She had a line everything seemed fine Through a green wave and it counted time She cries like a girl, cries like a baby sometimes She’ll have to do, she’s all that I have sometimes Houses made of plastic scenes A rubber boy with plastic dreams Slips into her world of love She slips into her striped red dress Believes she is truly blessed but She cries like a girl, cries like a baby sometimes She’ll have to do, she’s all that I have sometimes She says “Welcome to the dark side of the moon”. You cry, you cry. There’s no one behind the mirror The face is growing clearer Love bleeds slowly. Love Bleeds Slowly. Love Bleeds Slowly through you. She sits and turns the lights down low Watched the sky cry through the window She begs for mercy and counts the butterflies She had a line everything seemed fine Through a green wave and it counted time She cries like a girl, cries like a baby sometimes She’ll have to do, she’s all that I have sometimes She pulled the screen to see an ocean view, it opens up her mind.

Valentine 05:05
Let me come inside your hallowed heart Let me come inside and wipe those tears Let me come inside and feel the touch Let me come inside and steal the glow Let the light shine in on that fateful day Let it make you feel that special way I pray it wipes away the lasting image Of a bitter broken home There’s nothing I can say, nothing I can do I am standing out in the cold You’re helpless and worn as the walls crumble down Crumble all over you My Valentine Come down, it’s time to start again Come down, it’s time to start again I don’t have the time, I don’t have the strength To go and bury you I can’t believe this is happening. I just can’t make that call We all know. We all know. You’re My Valentine Was it all a dream? Yet it felt so real it was deep inside of me Let the shine in, and brighten this day As I need to feel that special way for My Valentine Valentine

I know something’s going wrong I know something’s going wrong I can’t seem to find my way I know things won’t be the same I know something’s going wrong I know something’s going wrong When they beat their heads they might as well be dead On my spirit and pride it’s all in which she fed I know something’s going wrong I know something’s going wrong When the ship went down and all mistakes were found Without a sound, Mother Mary hit the ground I’ve contracted all the systems I can’t seem to find a cure There’s ugliness inside of me thought I am just not really sure If I was born with it or was it taught to me while I was asleep at school I never want to leave here, I never want to go I need to be in the spotlight, I need to be the show I need to be accepted by all that I don’t know I know something’s going wrong I know something’s going wrong When they beat their heads they might as well be dead On my spirit and pride it’s all in which she fed I know something’s going wrong I know something’s going wrong When the ship went down and all mistakes were found Without a sound, Mother Mary hit the ground I’ve contracted all the systems I can’t seem to find a cure There’s ugliness inside of me thought I am just not really sure If I was born with it or was it taught to me while I was asleep at school I never want to leave here, I never want to go I need to be in the spotlight, I need to be the show I need to be accepted by all that I don’t know

These days of roses hide me in it’s waves For some unknown reason it seems that I’ve been saved It’s money spent on a life I’ve seen A painted house with broken dreams This window glows inside my room It looks like God, or maybe I’m playing the role of the fool It seems untrue This broken view And it’s cruel This day of roses shelters me from rain For heaven’s sake, it’s all just the same A dreamer’s world full of clouds I lie awake and shout out loud To the voices and eyes that are in the wall Hold you inside and take, take it all It seems untrue This broken view And it’s cruel These days of roses hide me in it’s waves For some unknown reason it seems that I’ve been saved I’m heaven sent, from the clouds Dazed and confused and on the ground Where angels fall out of grace With all the losers who run from this place It seems untrue This broken view And it’s cruel These days of roses melt in rain

I’m living in the hope for a piece of time As it tick, tick, ticks on by Through the last hour of mine Now, I’m waiting and now I’m waiting For an angel to come and lead me to heaven Through the filth and disgust of a tragic dream There is nowhere to turn to get out of the dark I’m lost inside somewhere deep inside your mind Your mind Bleeding hears can be dried by the sun But you realize that that’s no fun And now I’m waiting, waiting and standing in the pouring rain In the rain And now I’m waiting, waiting and standing in the pouring rain The rain I forget the time of the day, and all that they say There’s a hole in the sky that’s waiting for my train My train, my train Pack your bags, this ride’s going to the land of regret Pack your bags, this ride’s going to the land of regret And I’m waiting, waiting, waiting Waiting for my train And I’m waiting, waiting, waiting Waiting for my train

about

Wombat Carnival Chicago, Illinois

Wombat Carnival –formed in the 90’s -is from the Chicagoland area. Catchy tracks that fit well within the modern alternative pop template used by bands such as the Killers, Green Day and so many more. “Waterfall” is first rate post punk pop with a driving rhythm section and a memorable melody. It’s easy to like the poppy “She Tripped Me Up” anthem like “Move On”. Give this band a try!! ... more
