about

“How do you just live..?”

'Misfits' is the first single of The Stone Souls upcoming second album with the same title. Inspired by the last movie of both Marilyn Monroe & Clark Gable, 'The Misfits'.

lyrics

The asphalt shivers as the desert sun goes down
While the clouds they gather as our shadows fade from the ground
I'm tired and wide awake
We are done here for today

When the lightning cuts through the sky
Like the edge of a knife
We are misfits running out of time
For nothing can live unless something dies

We are basically strangers, but it feels like we've met before
And hey, I'm not caught up in fear but I know 'when it rains it pours'
So all I'm asking is
How do you just live?

When the lightning cuts through the sky
Like the edge of a knife
We are misfits running out of time
For nothing can live unless something dies

We're just holding on to whatever we got used to
We can't hardly keep up with doing what we do
So all I'm asking for
Is a shelter from the storm

With all madness in the sky
I need you to hold me tight
We are misfits running out of time
For nothing can live unless something dies
