These are days we won’t live past
We have the proof we have the facts
Separate the wheat from chaff
See what you have and what you lack
Keep what you can’t stand to lose
Tougher times they will ensue
Sad to say your best won’t do
We’re moving on without you
Wake up, time to go
Burn your halo
No more time to think aloud
We are versed in turmoil
The chorus of the crowd
It may not be the truth, you best believe it will be loud
There is nothing offered
No rewards remain
The city holds an empty sound
If it won’t talk we’ll tear it down
Wake up, time to go
Burn your halo
See this to the end
No chance now to make amends
We’ll just break what won’t bend

The Last Time We Spoke

I answered, you called
you left me there with nothing at all
To escape,the fall
and leave behind all that you've known
I know how this ends, the approaching fade This city's falling in, under its own weight
We cannot stay
Decide what you need, what you'll leave behind
go and make your peace, there is so little time
the daylight fades
"Its almost over" I hear you say
It will come down, and decay
"Its not worth saving" you barked and brayed
Its so loud, but its too late
You answered, I called
It seems that I don't need at all
I stayed through the fall
and survive here with nothing at all

Young?

Inside-side-side,
We've waited for signals and signs
Held up under siege and held out for relief
and cursed the the concede
It's time, time time,
Forward through these barbwire ones
Toward an enemy, terrible and unseen,
and nothing like me
Violence and vinegar, all that I ever had
When I was young
Strange it seems to be one to go out and kill a man
Before you become one
A sad surprise, to see this with my own two eyes
First time overseas, and the scenery
not what I thought it'd be
Shots in the air, you can never prepare
For seeing yourself bleed
The face thats staring back from a barrel is all I see
Violence and vinegar, all that I ever had
When I was young
Strange it seems to be one to go out and kill a man
Before I became one
It seems all too easy to just walk away
Say I am, I am, I'm too young to blame
All I recall is when they gave me a gun
so when was I young?
Not enough, its not enough
to point ahead and give a shove
won't make a man
to give a boy a gun
Never young, or old enough
naiveté afforded us
no chance to see
no chance to look up

I found myself face down in sand
my eyes heavy with slumber
i don't know how I found land
after the waves pulled me under
I remember teeth and then nothing
a heartbeats lullabye
oh my god am I dreaming
oh my god am I still alive
i hear a voice call my name
we need to light a fire
its easier just to lie here
so I close my eyes tighter
i remember praying for a way out
i remember praying for a way out
i remember praying for a way out
I spit the salty taste
feeling my fever break
I raise my head, I'm awake

Cut The Lines
03:23

Two thousand miles, too much at stake, to turn around
Iron expectations, overboard, driven deep in the sound
The moment is fleeting, a false dawn, misleading
I cut the anchor, stayed at sea, until I ran aground
an odd name, and an odd face
the mission is misplaced
ill- planned, the escape
return and retake
The waters sweet
It sings to me,
Come make a new home,
here in the grey
between the shore and the sea

When You're Alone
02:27
|
|||
a light dimming slowly its time to be alone
you should stay awake
you should have stayed at home
farther to forage to
further the goal
and rid yourself
of summer clothes
then raised your ragged face
and opened up your thirst
and drank until it hurt
is this what you live for?
the life you adore
is it everything you wanted and more
is this what you're all about?
now that you found a way out
too late to go back home now
