Rifle Through Your
What's the meaning of this?
Well here it is
What's the reason for these guns
So we never miss
Take a look outside of thse walls
Take a look inside
So easily and so carelessy we can blow it all away
And you have to mention it, time and time again
Like you had to bring it up, time and time again
Sinking ourselves this low, we're sinking
With the blood still there and the stains still there
Who's gonna clean it? Who will wake us up?
Who will wake us up?

So how could we be this lame? How could we do these things to ourselves?
We gotta see we're the same. Gotta break down all these walls
Who will wake us up? Who will wake us up?

X3
We are the
It's a freedom of speech, but do they really mean
Freedom to hold these guns in our hands
We are the
It's a freedom of speech, but do they really mean
Freedom to hold these guns in our hands

A Ballad For Johnny and Jenny
Jenny didn't come home last night
She says she knows what's wrong and whats right
She says she knows how to live her life
And no ones going to tell her
Johnny ate a lot of pills last night
He said he's feeling
He wishes someone would tell him
How much they think they love him
Lets Go

Johnny didn't wake up today.
His moms been back, she's been drunk for days
He's got a sister who's six years old
Found his body on the bathroom floor

We all, we all fall short
And sometimes it's worse for the others
And the others will say
No oh oh we ain't going back again
Cause we're always running
Always.Always
No oh oh we ain't going out again
Cause we're always running
We're always, always

Father didn't come home today
In fact he never came home again
He wishes his mother would tell him
That she really loves him
And we all, we all fall short
And sometimes it's worse for the other
And the others will say
No oh oh we ain't going back again
Cause we're always running
We're always, always
No oh oh we're not going out again
Cause we're always running
We're always, always

Jenny didn't come home today
Little Susie grew on the street
Dad and Johnny both died away
Mother Simone left the grid.
No oh oh we ain't going back again
Cause We're always running
We're always, always
No oh oh we ain't holding out again
Cause we're always running
We always, we always run

 

EP LIVING
Piss Test
What’s the state of the situation?
When the states been fighting forty other nations
For a hundred years and a hundred different reasons.
We all have reasons to stay alive
We found the wrong reasons to justify
Who’s sleeping in a coffin or sleeping in a bed tonight.
Tell me have we all lost our minds?
Or have we lost the will to care at times?
We’re too busy lining up at busy restaurants.

So pick up the tab and don’t even ask the dollar amount

And we all sat and listened we gave up our own decisions
To say who’s got choice without a city to live in.
They may have a voice but they don’t have a fucking village

The invisible hand’s been monopolized
By the capitalistic enterprise
All the simple sacrifice
Of our countries’ sons and daughters.
A democratic voice means death
To a puppet lying in a grown man’s bed
We all watch history play in rewind
Before our guilty eyes.
Disaster and the damage,
From years of fighting independence
In the streets where Buddhists set themselves to flames

Now you tell me, the fuck’s to blame?

And we all sat and listened, we gave up our own decisions
To say who’s got choices without a city to live in
And we all bare witness to a contaminated piss test
To see who’s got bombs and who’s got the balls to build them?
To see who’s got planes and who’s got the tallest buildings?

1, 2, 1, 2, 3
X2
And we all sat and listened, we gave up our own descisions
To Say who's got choices without a city to live in
And we all bare witness to a contaminated piss test
To see who's got bombs and who's got the balls to build them?

To see who's got planes and who's got the tallest buildings?

City Blocks
This city's gonna drown us if we don't get out soon
I've been waiting for a chance to make my move
These buildings have a way of closing in
So make your move, so make your move
And I've been looking for a far off place to go
And I'm a bus ride away
And you're a call on the phone
These buildings have a way of closing in
So make your move, so make your move

(Chorus)
This town's enough for me to leave it
And I ain't never coming coming back again
I care for you and we go
Chasing what we don't know

I think we're drowning in a mess of accidents
A mixture of failures without any precedent
I've got a choice to make, but I've got rent to pay
So don't make me choose, don't make me choose
I've never felt so young before and she said
"I've never felt so God dam angry before"
I've never been so done with this place
So give me the map in your hand
And show me the way

(Chorus)

We stand on city blocks
Together with our hearts so lost
And we'll keep searching for a reason,
A reason to stay here
We stand for youth so lost
Together with our impure thoughts
And we'll keep keep on pretending
That we're not alone

It's not getting any easier
We work so damn hard and we wait forever
We don't care because we ain't so old

We stand on city blocks
Together with our hearts so lost
And we'll keep keep searching for a reason,
A reason to stay here
We stand for youth so lost
Together with our impure thoughts
And we'll keep keep on believing
That we're not alone
We're not alone X5


Liquid Courage
So why don’t we see what’s on the other side?
We’ll take what we can we gotta stay alive
We’ve wasted this precious time
You’ve given and now you gotta get something back

(Chorus)
I don’t want to wait too long, (what are we waiting for?)
My heart is feeling cold
I don’t want to wait too long, (what are we waiting for?)
Because I’m feeling stuck and I’m feeling old.
I’m waiting for the courage to take a hold of me
Before it’s too late cause there’s no harm in believing.

So go on and get ahead of yourself, trust your heart,
Believe it’s not the end
So go on and get ahead of yourself
The blood is pumping and now you’ve shown
That you can win

(Chorus)
Cause I'm waiting for the courage to take a hold of me
Before it's too late cause theres no harm in believing
Theres no harm in believiing

X2
And there’s hope for a change in the way
That someone else says your name,
If someone else steals your heart
It’s okay.

I never cared for what’s inside of me but I know
My heart it burns inside of me
There’s no way, no how you’ll ever stop me believing
Cause there’s no harm in believing

(I’m waiting for the courage to take a hold of me
before it’s too late cause there’s no harm in believing.)

Waiting Room
I ain’t never felt so sick than when I’m surrounded
By these patients and these waiting rooms.
Ativan and alcohol never worked for me at all
But I’ll take what I can get and I’ll drink until I’m wet
And I’m singin.

(Chorus)
Alright, I’ve got a feeling I can’t fight
If everyone’s so sick, am I the only one alright?
And I’m saying ok, I think that I’ll stay in today
It’s the only chance I have to catch what I need to survive.

All the questions in their eyes, keep running over in my mind
“why was I here and what did I do for anyone?”
plastic tubes of oxygen replaced her lungs strapped to her chin
“why was I here and what did I do for anyone?
And when I leave will they believe in what I’ve done?
And when I’m gone what will the ones I love become?”
And I'm singin.

(Chorus)

And I’m feeling tired maybe I will go
An watch the world for another day
And now I’m feeling sorry maybe I will go
And pray for those who couldn’t stay.
Now we’ll sing together…

X2
Sing for the victims of disease
Sing for the patients on their knees
Sing for them and carry on…

Sing for the victims of disease
Sing for the patients on their knees
Sing for the health and hope of the ones they love
And the dreams they hold.

Resting Place
GO!
Eyes fixed on the kitchen table,
Your beginning to question if you are able enough
to take what they won't give,
Make more of a minor spot you're in
And I promise it's not on purpose
It's just a way for the world to tell you you're worthless

And I know (I Know) that you can't get enough of this
And I know you can fight through this

(Chorus)
We need it, believe it
Second chances are what we need here
We need it, believe it
All you need is just another chance

Eyes fixed on the LCD screen
An out of focus respiratory machine
I feel sick from the coffee I can't drink
I can't sleep, there's a chance that her eyes might blink
God, How did I get so helpless?
I wish there was a way to tell her she's cherished

And I know (I Know) that you can't get enough of this
And I know you can fight through this

(Chorus) X2

But you downed that bottle and I,

X2
I'd give my life before a second without you
Give me a chance you know I'll never doubt you
And I know (Oh-Oh) you're gonna breathe again

This is the first time I've ever been this close to heaven
And I'm not ready to give you up just yet
This is the last time you'll ever be on your own
This is a family and your heart can't beat on it own

(Chorus) X2

Soldier Charlie
Soldiers' hearts are scorned,
The blood bleeds dark and red
Busted bones and broken backs
Bullets sent through his head

All I feel is lonesome
All I feel is death for another

Now he'll wait until its dark,
Until the sky falls open ahead
The chill of fear crawls up his back
The moon sets over the dead

All I feel is lonesome
All I feel is death for another

X2
So bury your head deep in this blood
Carry the memories as you should hold on?
Hold on.
Sail on Soldier Charlie, it's up to you my friend
To pass this message on to the others
Hold on Soldier Charlie don't give up your heart,
And remember for every beat you believe it

Sail on Soldier Charlie (Sail On Soldier Charlie)
Hold on
And remember for every beat you belive it.
Sail on Soldier Charlie (Sail On Soldier Charlie)
Hold on
And remember for every beat you believe it.

Shipwreck
I've found a shipwreck and my heart is the treasure
But it's been buried in dust and the dust hasn't settled
And it's been covered and covered for years
We've only dreamt of the day that she'd be revealed
But in the Captain's log
Was saddest story i've ever read
Two women loved him with all of their hearts
Which one he picked he never said

But I read and read til my eyes were sore
And I couldn't believe all the lies he told
And the mistakes he made and the trust he broke
Cost him his life and the lives on the boat
And it read...

(Chorus)
"My body aches and aches,
Lost at sea for thirtheen days
And I'm six whiskeys deep
The ocean floor's only twenty, I just might sink"

"I never thought I'd sail so far away
I'm counting my blessings just to stay awake
I'm counting the number of waves that break upon me
God damn I think my life's about to change
And if I could I'd never live this way again
I never though I'd be so sorry."
Oh and it read...

(Chorus)X2

"So abandon ship, this worthless gift,
This pile of gold ain't worth anything
All hands on deck, this ship's so wrecked
The anchors cast but just won't catch.
Have I lost my mind, my ship, my breath?
So many things that I regret
Is it time enough for me to admit? I'm sorry, sorry"
Oh and it read...

(Chorus)

"My body aches and aches,
Lost at sea for thirtheen days"
"I never thought I'd be so sorry...
I'm so sorry..."
