I've been draggin' this mask all over town with my face still in it....

Indivisble, you are the one.

Tell me why I'm here in this empty house. My mind won't change, will it now?

I don't wanna spend the rest of my life staring at a man, looking down a line.

“Indivisible, you are the one.”

Dead Flowers, but ONLY the 7m3 version, is one my 14 year old daughter’s favorite songs. I’ll have to suggest she try the Townes Van Zandt version.

Just wanna say, Jason or the band, I dunno if you read these comments, but 7m3 has been a definitive crutch in my life for a very long time, seen me through some fucked up times, glad to know I'm not alone, thank you, just thank you ..... this song is amazing :)

"Swing Low Sweet Chariot's" the opener, my knees grew weak at the sight of her"... "The Salvation Army Band" by Imperial Drag. Sorry. I know it's not a 7M3 line but many of my favorites are already listed and there is just something about THAT line I have always loved. Honorable mention, however, goes to Jason for the second verse of "Devil Boy"....."The Augustians kept to themselves, stuck their tongues out in a row...". I have always loved THAT line as well. And yes, I know I am not playing by the rules!!

I sleep to dream in this old house,

Only wake for the night.

Frankie died just the other night, some say it was suicide but we know how the story goes...

These are mine in no particular order. They are like children... How do you pick a favorite?!?

“I could utter me words when it counted, ah, but I’m simgin’ ‘bout a bird like it now”

I don’t like to copy anyone,

so it goes without saying that the others have felt a deep connection with the poignant words of brilliant songwriter, Jason Ross, JR, or whatever he goes by these days. We’ve lost touch.

“I knew a place it’s where I go when I bed to see your face”

“Holding me back holding me back I want you to hold out your hand let’s just leave it at that”

“The screen door slams, Mary’s dress waves like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays”

“I feel close well, maybe I’m not, heaven knows”

“Hello I’ve waited here for you everlong”

“Something always brings me close to you it never takes me too long”

“In my mind I’m going to Carolina”
