lyrics

Oh, we lost our heads y'know?
We set out to open doors
and carried hatchets left half-buried in the sand
like it was always part of a great big plan...
But it wasn't.
Now at the baggage claim
We walk off like we had never been on a plane.

Now I don't know my shoe from my hand,
but I know that you understand when I say
Beyond this house and these bones
This flesh isn't home.

The bridge is out y'know?
We burned it before we crossed it
but that's ok

because the faith that I've found in this room to be true
and the wolf's blood drips from the lamb's white tooth
and everything I've ever learned has all been a lie
that I've swallowed to harden my insides.

Now I don't know my shoe from my hand,
but I know that you understand when I say
Beyond this house and these bones
This flesh isn't home.

Ian Miles is an independent singer-songwriter based out of Spokane, WA.
His Music has been described and "a little cool and a little weird – in a good way" and "very story-telling".
Sometimes mellow and bittersweet; a songbird at your window sill and at other times a thunderous full-throated roar of emotive stomping and hollering like a wild preacher of the end-times!
