When the Kids Grow Up 03:28
lyrics

There was a cold look in your eyes the night you said you wouldn't die I grabbed your hand in mine and felt your rising vital signs as the protesters marched around waving all their misspelled signs you stooped down to look them in the eye and said "our Love will never die" The smell of blood, the look of death a weakness hidden in their threats I've made so many enemies, I need a better memory We'll never find our way back home until the misspelled threats are overthrown never find our way back home, because this fight's the only thing I know Our cause grows stronger every day our shadows bigger than you could ever be woah oh oh Do you know, do you see could you ever believe that this blasphemy of love could stop haunting me Did you lose your greatest fight on the eve of your victory and did your greatest fire burn out find a better cure in the embers that remain can't we see that this hate is all that keeps us from moving forward? woah oh oh We won't stop singing Our songs will deafen your ears Our hearts grow stronger We've learned to never show fear We won't stop singing

There Are No Poets (In the Bitter Business) 04:46

So find me in the treetops, find me in the depths of my reality we won't dine alone tonight, Perception is everything Stand so tall Fall all the way back down we've sparked a fire that we'll never put back out so unwell, cuz' we were born into bad health this is the remedy we can't keep to ourselves and the smoke, it rose to the skies like dying flames the fires, fight the dark destined to lose where no one can hear them (like no one can hear me) Even the brightest light cast a shadow (like no one can hear me) Even the brightest light cast a shadow We've seen more war Than our guns were meant for Wipe the tears from your face, here we go, to war remember the rage at what they took from us You see this land, remember how you toiled under its sun we'll bring war to see that it's undone we march to war the smoke, it rose to the skies like dying flames the fires, fight the dark destined to lose where no one can hear them (like no one can hear me) Even the brightest light cast a shadow (like no one can hear me) Even the brightest light cast a shadow

We cast our lots just to see where this would lead to a thousand roads where the night breathes life to me oh my friends, my soulmates, my family this is exactly where we are meant to be and I don't know if it gets any better, forget the road we'll make our own I guess we'll just have to keep waitin for warmer weather old path, white clouds, Take me home This is the way that we can break any storm this is the way, that we can make our own Wharf Im not afraid To say im not okay We'll make our own way and our hair, grows out forming rivers down our backs and our feet, they move forward moving past what our past is we're growing up And I dont know if it gets any better Forget the road, we'll make it on our own Guess we'll just have to keep waiting for warmer weather Old path, white clouds, Take me home

It's an emergency we're taking back the streets we will not live as sheep we bow before no king And I still find myself attached to the city As it once was not what it's becoming If you think you're living If you think you're dreaming if you really believe them they're already winning It's a blasphemy To live your life this way consuming your sadness every day you can't make up for a love you've never known with the emptiness that is all you own If you think you're living If you think you're dreaming if you really believe them they're already winning This is the grave you chose to stand beside this is the way you will spend the rest of your life

So cover your ears cuz i've been lying about every single thing Cuz no one's really listening So let it all out, your indifference I never said I could get you through it All these things, that we see striking out at the person we don't want to be Bring it down, all this dirt in my lungs Just keeps building up, it's suffocating You're saying what I don't want to hear and I'm so tired, So tired Woah oh, We lost the drive to keep on losing inside woah oh, Killing off all but the worst in these new signs woah oh, We are the drive, we won't keep losing inside woah oh, Killing off all but the worst in these new signs So open your ears I've got something to say for the first time in years Feeling so broken down, like my soul is pouring all out on the ground and I've been carrying you for the last five miles Feet are broken, Knees are giving out You look down at me, Say "it's gonna take longer" Woah oh, I just gotta be stronger So hold your fist high cuz' we're about to lay all the bullshit out that everyone'es been taking it's been too long my friend, but now we're back again you've had your turn now and we're not gonna take it Woah oh, We lost the drive to keep on losing inside woah oh, Killing off all but the worst in these new signs woah oh, We are the drive, we won't keep losing inside woah oh, The Better Cure, is more and more in sight
