New hotness

Brendan James' voice blows my mind, not to mention his lyrics....

"All I Can See"
I want to walk through this doorway
I want to open my mind
I want to pledge my allegiance to all I can find

I want a car that will crash through the barrier
to a road no one knows
I want to feel less control more abandon
I want to land far from home

The revolution of the earth around the sun
is a perfect lesson of how it should be
So if I can I'll learn to journey and return
to never rest til I've seen all I can see

I want to learn a completely new language
One I don't understand
I want to help someone lost someone helpless
With the strength of my hands
I want to come to the base of a statue built before they counted the years
and there I'll fall with my face in my hands and cry 
and feel their hopes in my tears

The revolution of the earth around the sun
is a perfect lesson of how it should be
So if I can I'll learn to journey and return
to never rest til I've seen all I can see

Train rides and pastures colliding, colors and customs I've never seen
I know I, yes I know I, I know I will stumble but time is precious my friend

For those who journey can easily understand the more they see the more they'll learn
the more that they can be
so this I swear to you, and this I swear to me
I'll never rest 'til I've seen all I can see
No I'll never rest 'til I've seen all I can see

I want to know where the strength of a person lies
In their past or their future
Is it in the way they they hurt or they love themselves, or is it all an illusion
I want to crawl from this skin that I'm painted in body please let it give
I want to find the creator of all good things and ask what it means to live. 

"Hero's Song"
Here I am in the desert again
A compass and a weapon 
a lost American
I started out with a simple plan and a locket in my hand
But the sun's so unforgiving and the wind so hard to stand

Fall out fall out with the rest of your brothers
With the rest of your sisters
Heroes on the line
And carry out what your leader says
for what his leader says is that his leader says this is right for the people

No one will ever understand why thousands of beautiful healthy young statues must fall

Smoke and explosion surround me
a flood of hate it drowns me
I cannot live this way, no I can not live with
Doubt and confusion they find me they run up right behind me
I cannot die this way, no I can not die this way

In the water in the sand is the blood of a culture
is the blood of an ancient people in whose holy war I stand
I hear the world like a cannon roar say I can't win this war
But I promise them this is not what I signed up for

No one will ever understand why thousands of beautiful healthy young statues must fall

Smoke and explosion surround me
a flood of hate it drowns me
I cannot live this way, no I can not live with
Doubt and confusion they find me they run up right behind me
I cannot die this way, no I can not die this way

No one will ever understand why thousands of beautiful healthy young soldiers must fall


Smoke and explosion surround me
a flood of hate it drowns me
I cannot live this way, no I can not live with
Doubt and confusion they find me they run up right behind me
I cannot die this way, no I can not die this way

***Seriously. Do yourself a favor and listen to this guy.***
