Burning Days 03:26
Artist: Strings of Atlas Writer/composer: Atlas Cage Song: Burning Days Album: In a better world I can tell by the way That you’re burning your days That your times already come and gone Hear that sound in your voice Consequence in your choices Are you setting for where you got stuck? Tell me how do you how do you feel? And I’ll do it all for you Like they do it all for me And we’ll take a little time And see all that we can see Don’t say it’s all for nothing baby They’ll never understand you But they’ll say that they tried You’re screaming from your heart now And they stand and wonder why I want to be like Hendrix carve a mountain with my hand I got to sail the stars and be a pioneering man Tell me how do how do you feel? Tell me how do how do you feel? And I’ll do it all for you Like they do it all for me And we’ll take a little time And see all that we can see All I took when I Left that place behind Was a plan And all I need is to Get a little further Than I am Don’t say it’s all for nothing baby

Artist: Strings of Atlas Writer/composer: Atlas Cage Song: In a Better World Album: In a better world Now when you’re so far away When your heart is still free But your hands are tied And that blood stops circulating And they get cold inside Are you man or machine? Are you paper of stone Will you be what they need? Or will you do what you want I believe in a better world I believe that we’ll find a way I believe in a better world I believe that we’ll find a way When you’re so far away from things And can’t get any sleep When the air is on fire And you’re breathing in deep Some words can shape your life And man some looks can bring you down I’m never done I’m never scared I’ll never touch the ground \ I believe in a better world I believe that we’ll find a way I believe in a better world I believe that we’ll find a way Nothings ever too far away No one’s ever too far away I believe in a better world I believe that we’ll find a way I believe in a better world I believe that we’ll find a way When you’re so far away

Artist: Strings of Atlas Writer/composer: Atlas Cage Song: The way that you don’t love Album: In a better world I saw you through the glass I wanted you so bad I really thought you were something I tried to do it right To take your pain away Give up my sanity to keep you happy I even fought the dark When it came creeping in You kept my light in your pocket baby You were the very best Mistake I ever made Would not have changed a thing I guess I kind of like the way that it hurt I guess I kind of like the taste of the dirt I guess I kind of liked the way that you love me I guess I kind of hate the way that you don’t You got what’s goo d for you That’s what your friends have said I know what’s good for me But wanted you instead It’s not the way that love me It’s the way that you don’t That’s what she used to say And it would break my heart Now that you did it You ask forgiveness But baby I’m not a priest Said it was a mistake You’re lying to my face Maybe we just need some time I guess I kind of like the way that it hurt I guess I kind of like the taste of the dirt I guess I kind of liked the way that you love me I guess I kind of hate the way that you don’t It’s not the way that you love me It’s the way that you don’t I guess I kind of like the way that it hurt I guess I kind of like the taste of the dirt I guess I kind of liked the way that you love me I guess I kind of hate the way that you don’t

Odyssey 03:20
Artist: Strings of Atlas Writer/composer: Atlas Cage Song: Odyssey Album: In a better world I set sail on the ocean of black I don’t know when I’ll be coming back 400 horses on my chariot On the back of a beast ride into a sunset The den of the crazies They do what they can to erase me I shake hands and I deal with the shady A fight to survive The killing of time It feels like it’s trying to break me down It feels like it’s going to win It feels like it’s trying to break me down It feels like it’s going to win I hear the sound of the sirens They call out to my head They suck you in With the taste of their lips And they keep you there With the swing of their hips And you’ll never be free And you love what they sing But you’ll never you’ll never be free And love how it sounds And you’ll never get out And you’ll never you’ll never be free It feels like it’s trying to break me down It feels like it’s going to win It feels like it’s trying to break me down It feels like it’s going to win I was searching for my home After all these years had gone For me I’d hope you waited These roads have been so long It feels like its trying To break me DOWN!

Artist: Strings of Atlas Writer/composer: Atlas Cage Song: Light in the Dark Album: In a better world You can only see the light When it’s dark outside so don’t Let it get you down The world only looks for the things its lost so you Wait til you’re found And somewhere along that dusty road you went and Found yourself a friend And you can put em in your pocket baby So you have someone in the end Oh, I feel it coming on again Alright, we’ll be alright in the end The fires only warm when it’s cold outside so don’t Worry about the frost And just because you wander baby it don’t Mean that you’re lost And somewhere along that open road you found a Bit about yourself And you can take those demons baby And put em up on a shelf Oh, I feel it coming on again Alright, we’ll be alright in the end Oh, I feel it coming on again Alright, we’ll be alright in the end I hear the sun is falling down The cities sink into the ground But we’re alright. Were alright I hear the sun is falling down The cities sink into the ground But we’re alright. Were alright I hear the sun is falling down The cities sink into the ground But we’re alright. Were alright I hear the sun is falling down The cities sink into the ground But we’re alright. Were alright Where have all the good times gone How come no one’s moving on Wasn’t it the future yesterday? Fighting for humanity When there is nothing left in me Who the hell has got my head today! You can only see the light when it’s dark out

about

Strings Of Atlas Austin, Texas

Atlas Cage was born during the setting sun of a Friday night, one month after the Chernobyl incident, in an East German town that was still being covered by the ash that drifted in from the skies like dirty snowflakes. It seems only fitting that years later he would adopt a form of the radiation symbol as the marker for the heavy, psychedelic, blues band known as “Strings of Atlas”. ... more
