lyrics

I watch the ocean swallow up the rays of sun
Watch the waves open their mouths and eat the day that’s almost done
I say good bye
To another moment of my feeble life

I feel the sand inside the holes between my toes
And feel it penetrate the deepest regions of my soul
I feel alive
If only for a moment ‘fore I die

This life is just a breath
Of wind inside Your chest
There’s more than what you see to you and me
We’re more than momentary

I gaze at needles poking holes into the sky
And think about the thousand years between the light that shines and I
I realize
I’m so much younger than I feel inside

I follow clouds as they crawl across the air
And wonder how it is that water finds a way to stay up there
I feel so dry
Like something has been missing from my life

This life is just a breath
Of wind inside Your chest
There’s more than what you see to you and me
We’re more than momentary

What of me will last forever? I don’t know
Will it be my last endeavor growing old?
Will my thoughts mean a thing centuries from now?
Will I leave anything more than bones inside the ground?

This life is just a breath
Of wind inside Your chest
There’s more than what you see to you and me
We’re more than momentary, yeah

This life is just a breath
Of wind inside Your chest
There’s more than what you see to you and me
We’re more than momentary
Oh we’re more than momentary
Oh we’re more than momentary

about

Kyle Shevlin Portland, Oregon

While other bands and musicians waste their time writing songs about breakups, Kyle Shevlin is dedicated to writing songs of substance.

Singing with the aching heart of a man battered by time, Shevlin delivers with refreshing honesty.

His latest work, Your Lies Will Dig Your Grave, is a musical trek through the book of Job, and should not be listened to lightly.
