Cami DeVille I bought the hard copy at the South FM reunion show. That summer was jam packed of rocking memories. I discovered South FM a couple years after the break, but I became a Paco fan with a vengeance. I do love all the South FM guys & praise their talent, Paco is my fave. Paco has a voice that could make a everybody pregnant & a smile like the sun. Love him!! Favorite track: Falling Asleep.

    Letters That Were Never Sent [Circa Swallowing The Pill] is a 22 track digital compilation album of demos, live, and rare recordings by SouthFM. The majority of the songs were written/recorded leading up to the release of Swallowing The Pill in 2005. A few of these songs ended up being re-recorded professionally for the actual album while others never saw the light of day, therefore these recordings are the only versions of the songs in existence.

Blue & Grey 04:32
collected all these words to paint this picture for you and try to get you to see these words might have no worth unless you understand that this picture wants to be free and I've spent all this time in a world that chooses victims for a faceless crime that just adds to the statistics of the hurt not seen you never see me when I'm blue, blue, blue and grey there's not a day gone by that I don't see this picture reveal itself in my head but everyday I try to prove to you I'm alive though parts of me might be dead and I've spent all this life I'll carry the burden of a beaten wife raped and bruised and battered by the hurt not seen you've got to be strong and proud don't let the loss of dignity get you down you're more then just the flower in the field he found silence can't overcome with a truth so loud

you keep on spitting on my face you pull me in with your deceiving smile's embrace tired of looking through you i'll find myself if you find you they say free will its your voice they say free will its choice what must i do? pick up a cross and carry this burden for you? set myself on fire? repent all desire? and carry this burden for you? you keep running away. run. what must i do? pick up a cross and carry this burden for you? am i coming clear? am i anywhere near to lighting this match inside you? is this all you know? how far would you go? to carry this burden. what must i do? pick up a cross and carry this burden for you? set myself on fire? repent all desire? and carry this burden for you? what must i do? pick up a cross and carry this burden for you? is this all you know? how far would you go? i'll carry this burden. i'll carry this burden.

Paper Dolls 03:28
swallow the pill they sold your father bury your will for the sake of a dollar understand the television just like good americans do bend and fold like paper dolls sitcoms, re-runs, and talk show hosts in this silent wake with this quiet rage at the turning of the century in the twilight of our history everyone is laughing at you just like good americans do

Woke in my warm bed Just in time for all the brilliant red lights They were streaming through my half shuttered windows Christmas lights in time with my stuttered brain waves The door knob was glowing All my photographs were rippled and melting Through the walls I could hear panicked voices They seemed to say, go back to bed there's no choices And nowhere not burned out The fireman calls out, we've got another smoking Umbrella left in the hallway And the fireman calls out, we've got another smoking Umbrella left here I gave no answer To all their shouted questions, just lay back choking Didn't want to stay but my bed was on fire Instead of screaming, I fell back into dreamland Blinking and sighing The fireman calls out, we've got another smoking Umbrella left in the hallway And the fireman calls out, we've got another smoking Umbrella left here I don't wanna leave [Incomprehensible] I never believed in what happened to [Incomprehensible] The fireman calls out, we've got another smoking Umbrella left in the hallway And the fireman calls out, we've got another smoking Umbrella left, yeah (Words and Music by Ken Andrews and Greg Edwards)

i can't fix the leak you have in your ceiling but I can keep placing down buckets for rain I'd consider floating for hours across the atlantic sea so that I could rescue you so that you might rescue me but i'm just killing it's harder when two have this feeling even harder when one carries this pain I'd consider floating for hours across the atlantic sea so that I could rescue you so that you might rescue me but I'm just killing the time that I have left I'm just wasting the years as they pass it echoes in my mind this story all too clear but I can't run away from here cause here is not a place here is just your face

Underneath the universe on her inner thigh, just underneath her skirt underneath the waves something I've said before underneath the streetlight hum that brings me home to her back door theres a place, we embrace and its calling us... So we're dancing like this we dance and we kiss we're dancing when we make love underneath the streetlight hum we're dancing like this we dance and we kiss we're dancing when we make love dancing when we make love. Just above your tallest tree just above the treehouse and the place where she kissed me just across the sky something I've said before in between the space you look inside to see that you are beautiful theres a place, we embrace... So we're dancing like this we dance and we kiss we're dancing when we make love underneath the streetlight hum we're dancing like this we dance and we kiss we're dancing when we make love dancing when we make love... And its calling us, and its calling us and its calling us, and we're calling us and we're calling us, and we're calling us and we're calling us... So we're dancing like this we dance and we kiss we're dancing when we make love underneath the streetlight hum we're dancing like this we dance and we kiss we're dancing when we make love dancing when we make love...

we made plans to have it all chase our dreams until our lives were full of moments that could make up for things we never saw seemed like us against the world seemed like us against the rules seemed like us against repeating the same mistakes our parents made but summer leaves give into fall and autumn leave give into natural law they lose their color on the ground when winter calls they say all good things come to end they say things break if they can't bend because we never learned to swim... we drowned the meaning of it all something tells me this is the last time you and i will meet so we'll call this day our anniversary next year meet here and we'll celebrate upon this street and i guess thats why they call it letting go just before we go. right after the show. i have to let you know. that i still miss you. i lost my faith in god and you cut my ties with all the friends i knew said good bye to me and wrapped myself in blue since even drugs can't get me through i'm moving on i'm growing up i'm learning there's a time to cry and a time to not give a fuck something tells me this is the last time you and i will meet so we'll call this day our anniversary next year meet here and we'll celebrate upon this street and i guess thats why they call it letting go just before we go. right after the show. i have to let you know. that i still miss you. your father never really liked me your mom was always such a mess and here amidst my indecision i'll save this moment for my best
8.
So save your breath for the rest of this relationship cause it will get harder and harder for us to breathe and when you fall find my hand to help you stand again cause times will get harder and harder than these Where did you go I thought I'd be the first in line to know you know that I have trouble letting go and when the world has taken everything you have to give I promise I will never say I told you so We'll prove two people can stand when everybody else is falling apart in a world that keeps ending I know you and I could make a new start my days go by.

One More Day 04:06
life can be so insecure so difficult to leave things off the table its like we're unable to leave the past behind us so it can not find us bind us remind us of baggages we carry and some we bury maybe this is love because it seems to feel this way and i can't go on one more without those three words that you say i can be so insecure i can bring my problems to this table making me unable to leave whats left behind me so it can't confine me define me and blind me so baggages i carry i can bury maybe this is love because it seems to feel this way and i can't go on one more without those three words that you say

i'm unfamiliar with you you're unfamiliar with me these unfamiliar feelings this changes everything seems like the strangest things build form to fall apart but sometimes the strangest things can re-align the heart there's no misunderstanding its classic poetry you send the signs that break the silence of my heart subconsciously between the sun and moon thats spinning in my sky engaging parallels between both you and i feels like i'm falling asleep but the wheels keep turning a candle burning my mind still yearning if i'm falling awake? cause i'm drawn to you like gravity like gravity you're draw to me with these morning eyes we unravel all the possibilities change brings that we might discover ourselves in hopes to simplify this mystery cause if we stay in this moment we will lay down with our fears feels like i'm falling asleep but the wheels keep turning a candle burning my mind still yearning if i'm falling awake? cause i'm drawn to you like gravity like gravity you're draw to me and we can't control what might possible bring this change and this poetry is engaging this unraveling breaking the silence of paralleled gravity breaking the silence breaking the silence breaking the silence feels like i'm falling asleep but the wheels keep turning a candle burning my mind still yearning if i'm falling awake? cause i'm drawn to you like gravity like gravity you're draw to me

april showers bring the mayflies collecting round the porch light echoing the twilight another day will dawn here this city sleeps in silence the writings on the wall the distance between streetlights I don't know where you are or how you sleep at night if you can sleep at all under this quiet sky intense anticipation cuts this deaf calm like a razor blade and no one seems to notice no one seems to notice something is near approaches children sleeping a light upon these delicate eyes with our ears against the ground because the war is in our minds the sun and moon are trading places and no one seems to notice we've only a few moments before the world will end I don't know where you are or how you sleep at night if you can sleep at all under this quiet sky we've only a few moments before the world will end and no one seems to notice no one seems to notice and when I think of you I still have regrets the things we never said the things we never did If I could change the past then the things I said I'd have said them more I would have said it more I love you

honestly, how can we swim when we tread above water? and honestly, what doesn't kill us will make stronger and honestly, where do i stand on either side or the deep in between? and say you'll stay this city sleeps in silence without you and say you won't leave i'm lost without the echoes of your laughter honestly, what happens when one hand is washing the other? honestly, like waiting in line one excuse after another and honestly, where do i stand on either side or the deep in between? and say you'll stay this city sleeps in silence without you and say you won't leave i'm lost without the echoes of your laughter

America 04:26
we were living in america i was living life for me looking forward to the sky scrapers dream makers drifting towards the city sea we were living america they say that the freest place to be but i haven't seen my freedom since she said good bye to me i thought life would be easier if you were gone and maybe i was wrong i will spend the rest of my life trying to build a dream thats never been built before and if it takes the ret of my life i would give anything to know that i'm not dreaming alone we were bathing in the texas sun the sky was blue our love was green and life had just begun but the grass is always greener i said i didn't mean to let my life take over me i thought life would be easier if you were gone and maybe i was wrong i will spend the rest of my life trying to build a dream thats never been built before and if it takes the ret of my life i would give anything to know that i'm not dreaming alone i thought life would be easier if you were gone but then again life was easier when we just held on and maybe i was wrong i will spend the rest of my life trying to build a dream thats never been built before and if it takes the ret of my life i would give anything to know that i'm not dreaming alone

when will i hold the hand? the hand inside of you so our palms come together and pray that we will shine one more day, to separate the difference one more sidewalk, to find out where it ends and she says, "it looks impossible." but its not easy when she's all over my head i want to see the sunlight from this lonely painted room i want to turn beside me while i sleep and know i'm not alone and she says, "it looks impossible." but its not easy when she's all over my head and maybe, maybe she'll leave the light on in the right time and the place with the right words and His right grace in the right time and the right place with the right one and she says, "it looks impossible." but its not easy when she's all over my head
