Matador Lyrics

I'm being tailed
I'm being marked
I'm being asked if I know where you are
Joni is scared
I haven't slept
I'm playing it cool
But I know what you did

And all the time you thought I would break (that I'm afraid)
Well maybe I am cuz


I'm not hiding from main streets no more
If you're coming for me we'll see who is the matador

You talk about blood like it's binding us
If you're coming for mine
All bets are off
You pose as a king with a city to rule
But you were never a lion
You were always a bull

I have a deal I think you should take (I hope you take)
I'll forget it all if you go away
And stay away

I'm not lying for you or me no more
I'm not fighting the fight you do
Your settled score
I'm not hiding from anything no more
If you're coming for me we'll see who is the matador

Someday I'll pay for what I'm bout to do
The knife is sharp and my aim is true
Someday I'll pay for what I'm about to do
The night is dark and my veins are blue
Someday we'll pay for what we have to do
You turn on me I'll turn on you
Don't make me do what I have to do
You turn on me I'll turn on you

House of Heroes - Tim Skipper (vocals, guitar), A.J. Babcock (bass, vocals), Colin Rigsby (drums, vocals), and Jared Rigsby (guitar, vocals) - creates a unique breed of music verging on the safe line of pop-punk rock while blending the danger of indie-style rock.

House of Heroes doesn't just sing songs, they tell stories. Songs like "In the Valley of the Dying Sun" (telling a version of the story of Jacob in the Bible) and "Code Name: Raven" (the story of a spy in the time of World War II) draw listeners in by setting stories of love, sacrifice, and war to a non-specific song set-up and engaging music. Other songs, like "Friday Night", "Faces", or "The Drugs the Drugs" show the emptiness of man's meaningless desires. Distinguished lyrics and music that backs it up, pushing it forward, give listeners a unique experience. A band not scared of being different, House of Heroes certainly distinguishes themselves from the bunch.

Releases include: "What You Want Is Now", with tracks like "Julia", "The Lead Role In The Cage", and strings-backed "Uncomfortable" make the album House of Heroes's most rock-lead album. Self- titled "House of Heroes" and "Say No More" ( a re-release of the first with extra songs) posess the most edgy, indie-rock sound, lead by songs "Buckets For Bullet Wounds", "Serial Sleepers", "You Are the Judas of the Cheerleading Squad", and 9 minute closer "Angels In Top Hats." 2010 release "The End Is Not the End" gets its name from the lyrics in the acoustic driven song "By Your Side" of the album. Tracks like "In the Valley of the Dying Sun", "Leave You Now", and epic-like "Field of Daggers" make an argument to "The End..." being the band's most creative album yet. Their most recent release, "Suburba," continues the creative trend with the rock sound of "Independance Day for a Petty Thief" to the beautiful worship anthem "Salt in the Sea." Other releases include the holiday song "Silent Night", DC Talk cover "Day By Day", and the band's most different output, "The Acoustic End EP", which includes the acoustic version of the song "If'" (from "the End Is Not the End"),"New Moon", and "Ghost." A well-worked "Serial Sleepers (Acoustic)" is available for free on freehoh.com. The band has also released "Meets the Beatles EP" which includes three Beatles cover: "Can't Buy Me Love", "It Won't Be Long", and "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da."
