Midwest Kings - One True Thing
I could say that I'm alright
I think that's what you want to hear
But everytime I step out of this door
I just want to reappear
Somewhere else
A place I made up in my head
Before this world
Started taking pieces away
Taking pieces away

Just one breath that I can breathe
Just one honest untouched scene
Just one taste of rust to show the bars that cage are bending
Just one melody that I can really sing
After all you've taken, can you give me this
One true thing

I can sway my feelings for
Yet another wasted day
Never once will I be broken
I will lock my heart away
Somewhere else
A key I hid inside my head
Before this world
Started making its escape
I'm planning my escape

Just one breath that I can breathe
Just one honest untouched scene
Just one taste of rust to show the bars that cage are bending
Just one melody that I can really sing
After all you've taken, can you give me this
One true thing

3AM, I wake myself
From what I hope is a dream
Too many times I've been left with nothing
I'm down to one

Just one breath that I can breathe
Just one honest untouched scene
Just one taste of rust to show the bars that cage are bending
Just one melody that I can really sing
After all you've taken, can you give me this
One true thing

I'm down to one
I'm down to one

I LOVE this song. Who wrote the music? the lyrics? Did DavidC write any of the MWK music?

David's vocals on this song are incredible... he sings rings around Andy Skib. One of my favorites.

Well, since it's an MWK song I don't think that Dave ever sang this solo... lately he's been singing Anodyne in concert, but I'm pretty sure he never did this one.

on wikipedia it said that Neal wrote pretty much all of MWK's lyrics, and mostly by himself. this is wikipedia so i don't know how true that is.

No, that's pretty true. I think that on occasion, Neal and Andy work on lyrics together, but mostly it's Neal. I read some interview (a very early interview, way before David and AI blew MWK up and exposed us all to their amazingness) that typically, he'll write some lyrics, but he keeps his ideas about the music to himself until he and the band can all work on it together.

I do know that David wrote some of the music for Anodyne with Neal, but the lyrics for Anodyne were all Neal.
