Song that was performed during TDOL's later shows. This was the video used as the backdrop. It was cobbled together using various rough 30-second video clips recorded on an old Nikon 995. Someday a proper vocal version of this song will be recorded, but for now - enjoy. More TDOL stuff can be downloaded at conifer-enviro.com/downloads. Lyrics: When I look into the mirror Am I staring at myself In the way that you perceive me Or am I someone else? Deep inside I'm just an echo Another blind facsimile Imitating your reflection In a light that you can't see I'm common I'm regular And I wear the same shoes as you And I breathe the same air as you I'm common I'm regular And I shed the same tears as you And I cut the same way I bleed the same as you I'm not indestructible I am naked, I can crawl Ordinary to be treated in this way Fascinated in the words you say Take my hand, it's so familiar Nothing alien or strange Reaching out for your connection in a world we cannot change I'm common I'm regular And I wear the same shoes as you And I breathe the same air as you And I fall the same way I deviate the same as you And I wear the same shoes as you And I breathe the same air as you And I beg the same joy as you And I feel the same pain as you And I shed the same tears as you And I fall the same way as you And I cut the same way I bleed the same as you Author: Kirk Taylor Duration: 4:33

pop music..respect to mute records Come with me Into the trees We'll lay on the grass And let the hours pass Take my hand Come back to the land Let's get away Just for one day Let me see you Stripped down to the bone Let me see you Stripped down to the bone Metropolis Has nothing on this You're breathing in fumes I taste when we kiss Take my hand Come back to the land Where everything's ours For a few hours Let me see you Stripped down to the bone Let me see you Stripped down to the bone Let me hear you Make decisions Without your television Let me hear you speaking Just for me Let me see you Stripped down to the bone Let me hear you speaking Just for me Let me see you Stripped down to the bone Let me hear you crying Just for me Author: regeer2011 Duration: 4:20
