lyrics

I am not Noah, but I made it through a flood;
and, I am not a writer, I just gathered what I could.
I gathered all the beasts inside of me, one by one.
And I swept my love to shelter where I waited for the rains to come.

So you could say that I was prepared.
So you could say that I was prepared.
When the wicked rains all cease to be,
I'm still waiting
for that dove with the olive branch
to come and greet me.

I am not a prophet, I just practice what I preach.
I am not a fighter, I just know when I've been beat.
I tried to reconcile with and wrestle all of my beasts;
and, I swept my love to safety, where I kept her with some secrecy.

So you could say that I was prepared.
So you could say that I was prepared.
When the arrowed sea of war recedes,
I'm still waiting
for the hand in my pocket
just wondering where we'll all be.

But I am not a martyr, 'cuz I am still alive,
and I am not a liar, 'cuz I've yet to tell a lie.
I told you what I needed, and it was us side-by side.
My love has led my back to you, now it's just waiting for your knife.

So you could say that I was prepared.
So you could say that I was prepared.

But you are no Mara, and that's simple to see,
and if anyone's a writer: it's all for history.

about

Leftmore Denver, Colorado

Leftmore is an indie acoustic rock act from Colorado, started in 2005 by Matthew Shaw and Joe Ziegler. Joe went solo from late in 2009 to early in 2014, one part story-teller, one part emotive melody, and at least one part human. Matt rejoined with Chris Doxtator on drums and Geoff Brent on bass guitar. The lineup now vacillates between the solo, duo, and quartet conditionally based on time-space. ... more
