lyrics

Lost in the pages, you found me
And you knew right away
That something was missing when you listened
With your ear to my chest and heard
A silent song that sings
Of a missing heart it seems and
Among the more peculiar things
You found a hero in need of saving

It's been a while since a smile
Has ever graced this beaten path
I've mostly met my share of thieves
And what you see is all that's left
Of a man or something less
With this echo in my chest
Just this hollow shell precedes me
Makes me wonder what you see in me when

There are kings and there are castles
And champions for miles
And there are fairy tales
That will make it worth your while
But you see something in me
That in faith deserves a chance
And you filled the spot of the missing heart
Of this tin man

She took my hand when it was cold
But she never did let go
Now every day this beat grows stronger
It took her heart to make me whole
And as I shed my armored skin
You start to see the man within
The man she always knew was there
That no disguise could keep her eyes from seeing

There are kings and there are castles
And champions for miles
And there are fairy tales
That will make it worth her while
But not all happy ever afters
Are found in the stories that you know
Sometimes they're in the ones
You make your own

When so many empty seasons changed
I never thought I'd see the day
When someone would consider me
More than what I appear to be
And in that time I spent alone
That was long enough to call it home
Just when I seemed content
You show up and prove me wrong
Now I'm standing here before you
With all my confessions in my eyes
And there are things that they may show you
That my words fail to describe
You're the light beyond the trees
That was always out of reach
And with one little twist of fate
You became the better part of me

There are kings and there are castles
And champions for miles
And there are fairy tales
That will make it worth you're while
But not all happy ever afters
Are found in the stories that you know
Sometimes they're in the ones
You make your own

canvas radio Staten Island, New York

Canvas Radio, a name born by combining the idea that both the canvas and radio are two mediums that allow an artist of sorts to share their works with the masses; and in the Spring of 2010, the native Staten Island band that bares it's name was founded by drummer Greg Schwab, bassist Mike Diamantopoulos and singer/songwriter Charlie Toro to put together a collection of cleverly crafted songs! ... more
