lyrics

And I don't know why you can't help me 
and I don't know what to say, when all the cracks are breaking 
and the fights are starting to stray 

The truth lies behind the fencing 
and we can't break through the cage 
Lying to ourselves in the evenings and counting all the tired days 

The words that I speak they don't make a sound 
but I'm calling out loud and proud 
and I feel it 
but you know exactly what is on my mind and all of my cries 

And I don't know why I can't help you 
My intentions ring clear true 
But when all the dreams are fading and holding on is nothing new 

But I have tried and tried and tried so many times 
to figure out how to bring back the light 
Forgetting ourselves just to pretend, this love had never begun

The words that I speak they don't make a sound 
but I'm calling out loud and proud 
and I feel it 
but you know exactly what is on my mind and all of my cries 

I think I've reached more than most can see 
to present myself as free 
See my strife is this joy on me 
Can't recite the recipe

about

Cocomofo image

Cocomofo Brooklyn, New York

Avant-pop group based in Brooklyn, brainchild of an international cast of musicians. Looking back on 70s jazz but with the production and emotion of today's psychedelic pop. Created out of late night jam sessions.
