We're losing daylight but I can't work any faster.
Under the veil of dusk we go on
Don't close your eyes.
What if it all disappears in the shadows
That reach from the stars?
If I held my gro...
I never claimed to be something more than me,
Your standards, I refuse to see,
I will answer only to myself,
So why don't you police someone else
The place I call home isn't there anymore,
W...
On dirt like stone
The life paste, the bones of men
That sought to overthrow
Or all that remains
Oh, what they stole
Was innocence, the slate once clean
Has gone as black as coal
Time and time aga...
Warm your self by the fire son
The morning will come soon
I'll tell you stories of a better time and a place that we once knew
Before we packed our bags and left all this behind
We had a pl...
All the way at the bottom
Of the barrels we cry out
So ashamed of our tears that
We blame only ourselves
That's when they win
They keep us convinced
To lift up our chins
These playing fields are le...
Deep inside these burning buildings
Voices die to be heard
Years we spent teaching a lesson
We ourselves had never learned
And if strength is born from heartbreak
Then mountains I could move...
We don't sleep very much
These triggers ache for the touch
Where's the strength we relied on?
Fear alone, like a crutch,
maybe that's what keeps us up
all night with the light on
All these ...
And on that day they'll tell you
That life hummed on with no clue
The warning signs were all dismissed or shouted down
So it goes
The kings all failed to tell us
The madmen failed to sell us
on wha...
All we are is entertainment
Caught up in our own derangement
Tell us what to say and what to do
All we are are pretty faces
Picture perfect bottled rage
Packaged synthesized versions of you
...
In the face of change
That’s when she turned to me and said,
"I’m not sure anymore..."
And there amidst the waves
And the cloudless skies
That blanket the year before
I watch my life wash a s...
Wait,
I'm not listening to you now
I wasn't listening to you then
I know that nothing will be the same again
There's only so much I can handle
Only so much I can take
Before my knees start to...
Someday I'll feel no pain
Someday I won't have a brain
They'll take away the part that hurts
And let the rest remain
Fix me
Fix my head
Fix me please,
I don't wanna be dead
Somed...
There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop, listen, what's that sound
Everybody look w...
We are the children you reject and disregard
These aching cries come from the bottom of our hearts
You can't disown us now, we are your own flesh and blood
And we don't disappear just because yo...
Getting trampled under boots of progress
Ignore the pleading of the nameless faces
Now with our backs against the wall
How long till we fall?
Do away with all the underprivileged
their demographic...
(Gethsemane!)
It was the perfect night
Then you had to go and ruin it with a kiss now
I'm trapped inside here
The innocence we held once so carelessly
Has been suffocated in this breathless...
Break through the undertow, your hands I can't seem to
find,
Pollution burns my tongue, cough words I can't speak so I
Stop my struggling, then I float to the surface,
Fill my lungs with air,...
We celebrate the downfall with ticker tape parades
Oblivious to the fucking mess left lying in the wake
"God grant me the strength to let my children starve"
He whispered to the dripping roof in...
Buried words
Under lights
Soundtrack to this stagnant life
This meaning lost in translation
Message sucked out of his hands again
This could be my great awakening
But how would I know
Cuz it...
A sinking ship, an awkward kiss
A chance to set things straight
The kind of hurt that burns and burns
Like fires we can't contain
We hole up in a shelter made of bones and ice and there we'll...
