Conquistador 03:59
conquistador, straight from the shoreline with gold glass and porcelain he tore apart the tracing spots the weight too great to bear i went running i chased your name in towns from spain the best i held the worst remains upon a street u left behind the answers that i’ll never find i know your voice it’s in my head its taking out the old pretense of all the dreams that had to die conquistador who survives? standing on 2 feet as the world goes crumblin hide the lock and hold the key until i feel more in to me warm like the summer sun you know that fucks me up falling in la la love conquistador, straight from the shoreline with broken bones and dirty feet i held the world right in my hands it slipped, it fell and then it drowned upon a sea you left behind the answers that i’ll never find i know your voice it’s in my head its taking out the old pretense of all the dreams that had to die conquistador, i survived tired of past relief i give up so easily losing touch, losing complete is it change or is it me warm like the summer sun you know that fucks me up falling in la la love
