The All Night Lights

Forever we'll go out into the night with survival in all our eyes
With knives in hand we stab at the sands of time
To turn back and unwind
Under the death of an age we were becoming stronger than...
With terror in our eyes, we wait on these skies to bring a new chapter

I've seen life through death, under the wait of it all, we all collapse
And these eyes on survive, we will come from the fall and rise again

Like lions we tow the line, blood sewn pact with truth inside
With knives in hand we stab at the sands of time
To turn back and unwind
Under the death of age, we were becoming stronger than...
With terror in our eyes, we wait on these skies to bring a new chapter

I've seen life through death, under the weight of it all, we all collapse
And these eyes on survive, we will come from the fall and rise again

The all night lights




We Gave It Hell

Voice reminds of where we are, in a cement city... arrive

We gave it hell and we find ourselves coherent and so unclear
And I'm lost at sea with guides to spare, lost at sea with guides to spare
This is the sound waves of desperation

Ones of reminder and things that just won't heal and in time we will step away from this
Cause it's the hardest and longest, and in time we will make this disappear

Let this dig in 'cause I can see the shore
I think I can make it
Crash through the door
And I'm lost at sea with guides to spare, lost at sea with guides to spare
This is the sound wave of desperation

Ones of reminder and things that just won't heal and in time we will step away from all of this
'Cause it's the hardest and the longest
And In time we will make this all just disappear

We will make this disappear, fight on

Ones of reminder and things that just won't heal and in time we will step away from all of this...
Ones of reminder and things that just won't heal and in time we will step away from all of this
Cause it's the hardest and the longest
And In time we will make this disappear
We'll make this disappear, fight on

With the weight of the world, I was born for this...




The Back Harlow Road

Never above, never below
Always beside, beside

I chose to back off from this open wound
To sweep this all into the flames

Scream under street lights
Till the voice takes leave
Life's beautiful mystery

Never above, never below
Always beside
Always beside

But you can't make amends
When no one lends
A chance to make up for times you've known
But you can't make amends
When no one lends
When no one lends

I found myself in due situations that bloom
And you were right, you were right
I should do something
Or maybe I should be the first to know
This can't be fixed overnight
And I know
It's getting out alive

Never above, never below
Always beside
Always beside

But you can't make amends
When no one lends
A chance to make up for times you've known
But you can't make amends
When no one lends
When no one

This is everything that stands between the sky
Between the sky
Between the sky and gray

This is everything that stands between us
Stands between us

Into the darkness take a stare
Through these years I've shown my wear
Go on heart and still I'm prepared
To fight

But you can't make amends
When no one lends
A chance to make up for times you've known
But you can't make amends
When no one lends
When no one lends

This is everything that stands between
The sky and the gray




Clear The Coast

Ever since the fall, I've abandoned all the shadows... replacing history with moral victories
And this light around my body and what it seems to be
I'm still coming clean... tonight

When we fall from grace, we must rise from the dead...

And it's all just going away, the way I see it, it's the hardest thing I'll ever find myself
And its here we fear the most... And there's nothing that can dim this light, at least from this distance

All that I've become, from the greatest of my failures
Casting glory from the reflections of my fate
And this light around my body and what it seems to be, I'm still coming clean... tonight

When we fall from grace, we must rise from the dead

And its all just going away, the way I see it, it's the hardest thing I'll ever find myself
And it's here we fear the most...
It's all just going away, the way I see it, and its fear we fear
And there's nothing that can dim this light, at least from this distance

I've made amends
Looked past the coast to no end
I've seen beyond the falling sky
And in my escape, the road behind comes crashing. I'm not afraid to die...




Waiting On A War

I'm waiting on a war, this is panic setting in...

From what it seems, all could use some cleansing
Better hurry up since were not pretending
And panic wouldn't mean so much if there was such a thing as end in sight
But I know it's only coming in waves, to seal our silence

We're waiting on a war, coming through this weather,
all aboard...(all aboard), into the storm...

With all of this brings death of descending
Belief with the sun comes never ending
As long as there is life in heart, there will be a thing as endless fight
But I know it's only coming in waves, to steal our silence

Were waiting on a war, coming through this weather, all aboard

It's only here I find myself where karma looms a long way down
and a long way out, come lock us in...
While we're waiting, seems like a lifetime, but while we're waiting all aboard

We're waiting on a war, coming through this weather, all aboard
Horizons from the shore, too many bloody hands, take back your life
We're waiting on a war, coming through this weather, all aboard, into the storm




Only A Year Or So...

I want you to come home.
I'm tired of being alone.
And it's making me sick not knowing if you're safe and alright
The kids are growing up so fast.
And knowing you're missing them.
And they're missing you, has given me a pain so deep inside.
Something from this world cant explore.
Lately I feel like I've been becoming someone else.
Someone I don't recognise, and someone I don't even like.
I need you here to help me remember what it's like to truly be alive.
Everyday I try my best to not get completely overwhelmed with you being gone.
Please tell me how to be strong.
Because everyday I am so worried I could lose you.
There are so many things going on, so many things I want to share with you.
I'm selfish for wanting you home, I know, but I really cant help it.
I need you.
We need you.
I love you completely.
I just want you to come home.

Only a year or so they said...
You wont miss out on anything.
Save me from, free me from dispair.
I just want you to come home.
When the world is really dead.

I lay at night thinking of you and the kids.
Trying to put this into perspective of this day in the world.
So much is happening in my life and I cant seem to put a finger on who I am.
And these are the times I wonder what I was thinking.
I mean what the hell was I thinking.
Everyone says we're heroes, but I feel like I've abandoned you.
I could feel the blood racing through my body, and know that I'm growing distant from the world.

Only a year or so they said...
You wont miss out on anything.
Save me from, free me from dispair.
And know that I'm growing distant from the world.
When the world's really dead.
The wait is over.
Stuck inside this mess.
Dying to hold, you're all on your own.
Praying to get out alive.
Alive, praying to get out alive.
Alive, praying to get out alive.




Absent Are The Saints

WITH SO MANY WORDS WE STAND UPON OUR DREAMS,
WITH ALL THE HELL AROUND,
ITS EXACTLY WHAT IT SEEMS,
LYING AT THE BORROM WE CAN'T DERIVE OUR FATE,
In the dead of night, absent are the saints.

CHANGED MEN, WILL CHANGE...
There's only two kinds,
One with truth within,
and ones with plague inside...

I don't wana see it all come crashing down,
down in the ocean.
Altering the course,
untangle this weight and send off the poisons.

Moutain size the pain,
if ceased would bring us sound.
No clarity to shape the lost all went unfound,
But with hope of man,
shine faith from all unseen.
Braided hands that reach for nothing but belief.

CHANGED MEN, WILL CHANGE...

HOPE LIVES UNLOST, GAIN STRENGTH AT ALL COSTS...

ABSENT ARE THE SAINTS...
ABSENT ARE THE SAINTS...




Vast And Vague

We hit the floor with little certainty then truth ended with more
Outlining all the ways of which to be
But no longer the scenery we hoped for has taken over air...
and now more than ever you'll find out

Why I try to fight these changes, battling me,
I choose these chains, inside just imploding, slowing the sound
I eat this alive for the sake of breaking teeth

Resist within, where true hearts ignite, engage within, fight to hold hearts high

With nothing left I aim on anything to give me a repeat
The lack of faith and hope and the between
But it's endless, the fight that's never ending and the body full of heart
Back it in the corner, watch it tear this apart
From limb to limb it strikes on anything that makes itself the enemy...survive

Slowing the sound, I eat at this alive for the sake of breaking teeth
Resist within, where true hearts ignite, engage within, fight to hold hearts high
We are the ones, the tried and true
We are the chosen few
Embrace the rage you hold inside
Burst from the flames, reclaim the heist...we won't fall

Resist the end, where true hearts ignite, engage within, fight to hold hearts high
We stand, we stand the tried and true
We stand, we stand the chosen few

We will find a way, we will find a way, we will find a way, we will find a way




When Distance Is The Closest Reminder

LETS JUST PRETEND FOR A SECOND,
That nothings wrong and we've grabbed the horizon by the throat and moved along,
BYPASS EVERYTHING THAT DRAGGED US OUT INTO THE LIGHTS,
and while you're around here's that kiss good

Slow dance in the dark for old times sake, while we leave death in her own wake

Crawling home with the headlights on,
We scrape the skin from bone and disregard... (The city is our guide)

The city is our guide,
All the way home,
Our guide home and how it used to be, (Slowing down life within me)
And how it used to be, (Slowing down life within me)
Avenge your thoughts, (Reclaim)
Avenge your thoughts (Reclaim)

HERE IS MY VOICE OF RETRIEVAL,
That brings me back to the greatest stance I had before weight slowed it down,
AND TOOK AWAY THE PACE I HAD,
With no apologies but if I'm still down help me get off my damn knees

The city is our guide all the way home (Our guide)
SCRAPE THE SKIN FROM BONE AND DISREGARD,
THE CITY IS OUR GUIDE,
ALL THE WAY HOME, (OUR GUIDE)
SCRAPE THE SKIN FROM BONE AND DISREGARD,
THE CITY IS OUR GUIDE




Northern November

There are whispers, one that let me in on the upcoming,
I watched and listened, ready to take hold the sight,
to take over the whole damn night
I stay buried from the loss that killed me across
Never go away, hold her tightly and I love hard than I can
Only one way out

The voices are calling me, outside in
They hold the misery from breaking in...

With hours left and the light at the end is dimmer than,
I watched and listened, leaving without losing tonight,
her breath on skin by candlelight
I'll take the loss from my face and leave grace in it's trace
Never go away, hold her tightly
And I love harder than I can...only one way down

The voices are calling me, outside in
They hold the misery from breaking in
And one day after the rain, the loss sinks in
The photographs are along to uphold withstand

One day after the rain, when the loss sinks in
The photographs are alone to uphold and withstand
Only one day after the rain...capsized in the sea of your scent
Only one day after the rain...when abandonment is my closest friend




The Tide And Its Takers

Open to May,
When we were young and brave.
Took steps to remove me,
I'll come in and out with the tides.
The lost and the loves, I admire.
You had every chance to close this,
To take it all down and out of sight.
Where there's nothing to fgind and there's nothing to hide.

Your breath fills my skin,
All the way in.
In the event of an emergency,
I'll ask for your saving again.

Return to now,
As we are opened wide.
Underneath the haze of lights and scents of cigarettes and lies.
So saw your goodbyes and let it all die tonight.
'Cause you had every chance to close this,
and let it all in and out of sight,
Where there's nothing to hide,
Where faith buries strife.

Your breath fills my skin,
All the way in.
In the event of an emergency,
I'll ask for your saving again.

I'd sleep in mountains of rain to never escape from the endless you.
And we'll side step the masses and live life through glasses of truth.
And you'll never go away,
Yeah you'll never go away.
