I may not be what I seem
Hold your expectations don’t mistake me
I’m an angel to the devil that awaits me
I may not be what I seem
Turn your back on all your little daydreams
Listen to these notes now they translate me
I was never, I was never, I was never there
I was never, I was never, I was never there
I was never, I was never, I was never there
I was never, I was never, I was never there
You know that I can’t do this
I know now that he called for me from high ground
No use that I run fast like a greyhound
You know that I can’t do this
I see now that I went spellbound I went uncrowned
Just another pale fool that a-run round
I was never, I was never, I was never there
I was never, I was never, I was never there
I was never, I was never, I was never there
I was never, I was never, I was never there
He hit me with the blunt side of his back hand
Lit me and then slowly let me burn down
kicked me in the storm and just stood in the quiet eye
Just stood in the quiet eye
No you never, no you never noticed
No you never, no you never noticed
No you never, no you never noticed
No you never, no you never noticed
That I was never, I was never I was never there
I was never, I was never I was never there
I was never, I was never I was never there
I was never, I was never, I was never
I was never, I was never, I was never

Mone is a singer-songwriter who provokes and soothes in the same breath. She's been called the lovechild of Fiona Apple and
Tom Waits for her raw, emotional songs and unique vocal sound. Rooted in folk music but influenced by many artists, from Nina Simone and Leonard Cohen to The Dresden Dolls and Kate Bush, Mone fuses more traditional genres with the firm confidence of avant-garde music....more
