I will break the law
Before the law breaks me
I’ll sing for you because I know
Before long you’ll sing to me
Call it sympathy or call it a disease
But I know I could easily be you
And you could easily be me
I will break the norms
Before the norms break me
I’ll bleed for you because in time
You’re gonna bleed for me
Some call it bravery
Some it stupidity
But I know I could easily be you
And you could easily be me

Fist Fight
03:11
|
|||
|
I was hoping
I was hoping for a fist fight
We’ve been staring for too long
Here come the headlights
We can’t say we didn’t see it coming
We did
And we can’t say we can’t do
anything about it
I was hoping
For a knock down drag out
Cuz I can swing with the best of them
But I can’t be bothered right now
We can’t say we didn’t see it coming
We did
And we can’t say we can’t do
anything about it

Fix
02:50
|
|||
|
How long will it take
To fix me if I’m broken
How long will it take
Until I’m all right
We can call on our god
We can reach out to the lenders
We will do all that we can then
Put a scholarship in your name
How long will it take
To fix me if I’m broken
How long will it take
Until I’m all right
I don’t know
If you’ll ever get better
I don’t know
I feel like I shouldn’t lie

Gold, Bloody Heart
03:08
|
|||
|
Tore open your chest cavity
I didn’t find any gold
I found a heart that’s bloody
Sometimes you’re gonna get lost
Sometimes you gotta get lost
But I know you’re gonna find yourself
Somewhere on the golden coast

Hammer/Torch (I Suppose)
02:47
|
|||
|
I suppose I’ll be the hammer if you be the fire
Can’t break the jaw of every bastard here that smiles
But I’ll try to if you really want it that way
I’ll do that for you if you promise to torch this place
|

This Is My Fire
02:56
|
|||
|
Oh, this is my fire
It’s my fire
Did you ever honestly believe
We were really going to be
All that we said we’d become
Words are but the sound
Just like the thunder draws a crowd
But lightning strikes the lucky ones
I’m not an artist, but I’ll paint the world for you
With the blood of a stag
One with a bad attitude
I paint the world for you
|

Never Sleep
02:56
|
|||
|
We used to never sleep
but you would never know
You don't need to stay
Please just go
We used to never laugh
We used to never love
You think I sleep when you sleep

Light It Up
01:35
|
|||
|
I was at home alone with a list of my sins
I called you up to ask where we oughta begin
You told me there’s no sense in being afraid
You told me we’re all heading for our judgment day
You said that it’s too late to start it up
I told you there’s always a chance to light it up
This darkness gives way to the day
And I say it’ll be okay
This darkness gives way to the day
It’ll be our Independence Day
So Light it up

Too Much Fear
03:20
|
|||
|
There’s too many gods in here
There’s way too much fear
I tell you there’s no such thing as free will
You run, you fly, to feel it all still
I’ll be dancing on your grave, son
It’s an argument I’ve won
|

Pass The Wine
02:46
|
|||
|
You were conceived by a bottle of wine
Clocks, years, bullshit, and smiles
There’s enough of you to keep me untidy
Wouldn't you like to dance like you were drunk all of the time?
She says
So don’t tell me where we came from is where we’ve been
And don’t try to pin me to the backs of my kin
She says
Don’t try to tie me down so you can measure your life
We’ve all been fooled by the sobering passing of time
We’ve been deceived by the ticking of time
Bottles and cans, mixed drinks and fire
Its all gone when the morning arrives
Would you like to die knowing you were alive all of your life?
She says
So don’t tell me where we came from is where we’ve been
And don’t try to pin me to the backs of my kin
She says
Don’t try to tie me down so you can measure your life
We’ve all been fooled by the absurd notion of time

Don’t get too comfortable
We will bring the war to you
Or make yourself comfortable
We will bring the war to you

Love (A Manifesto)
03:19
|
|||
|
I never knew why who I loved could cut to the core of you
But if I can find a little bit of love in you I’m sure that you could find a little bit of love in me, too
Love love love
I’d rather die defending love than live in a world of hate

All Ways

I all ways will want you
I all ways will haunt you

There Is Always Hope
06:04
|
|||
|
I read about you before I came here
As it turns out, you’re still a stranger
I don’t know what I was expecting to see
I don’t know what you could have meant to me
You gotta believe
There’s always hope
