These city lights are blinding and hot enough to kill. but it's closing time and I think I've had my fill. we wander city streets half dead half alive. dreams laid to waste in search of a place to rest our eyes Don't let go, I've got yours, if you've got mine It's a lonely road And Every inch an uphill climb Take it slow I'll catch you if you fall behind Don't let go Take my hand and close your eyes Lets just pretend for a while That the night is ours and we'll be young forever.

I NEVER NEEDED YOU the morning smells of coffee and my mouth is dry from drinking again a cigarette on the balcony and sounds good with my new friends you think you've tried so hard but we both know that that's a lie if you haven't noticed I am calling you out for the low life human being you are and if you think that I ever need your help just remember I found family somewhere else I never needed you my friends have got my back and that's something you could never do your discouraging through and through now I'll share my life with them too bad it's what you could have had your a lost cause oh well I'll get over it. this isn't something you can just take back fuck you for failing at your greatest task you're selfish you're mean this will haunt you in the end good luck with your useless life I'll be a better man I never needed you

There's not much that I'm good at never been one for the nine to five's and these dirty floors feel more like home than any house I've ever known I'm an anxious 20 something vagabond living off ramen I'm at my best somewhere between the exit signs they say it's gets better when your older but all I've gotten is just colder And father away from who I want to be So this time I'll dive right in hold nothing back, no fear and no regrets I'm gonna make a man of me. it's time to get up off the ground Shake off the dust and blow this town and I want you standing right next to me ARE YOU IN ARE YOU OUT put your money with your mouth we've talked this to death turned it inside out last exit home, no turning around so are you with me So I'm stuck in Santa Fe You call it cramped but I call it home. and you've been dragging your feet for so long all this mud has turned to stone. I'd take a heart that was just complacent rather than shallow self centered and nascent too busy complaining to enjoy the view. I'm not turning around so are you with me our time is now and I want you with me are you in or out So are you with me no backing down And I want you with me I'll stand my ground Will you stand here with me last time around And I'm taking you with me this is the moment's you'll remember YOU CAN'T FORGET this is the moment's you'll remember WITH NO REGRETS so are you with me I'm taking you with me

Fist's up here comes the second round eyes straight this is more than just survival now what matters is can you stand when the world just wants to knock you down this is a voice you'll fail trying to fight I've shed every skin but mine put all my fears aside I'm not ready I'm not ready to die what the hell was I supposed to look up to you're dead end job or the dreams you never had the guts to make come true (the guts to make come true) I refuse to apologize for moving forward while you're satisfied with just standing still (with just standing still) you'll live and die in the same zip code we caught fire in the middle of the storm it may burn and boil but it keeps us warm living life between the lights and sounds we'll burn up before we ever burn out if home is where the heart is this is my house and you're my heartbeat take heart my brothers we've already won the victory shoulder to shoulder I'll carry you if you'll carry me don't lose courage no room for doubt left in your mind this cities burning but I'm not ready I'm not ready to die

So I read the news today. about how you missed home, all your money was gone and how you would rather just fade away. I'll never understand how you can call it quits. we're all poor as hell or did you forget. You can keep your normalcy, you fucking hypocrite. I'd be cutting out my own heart and I would rather die for this So as for me and mine we'll lay it on the line To pick up the slack you've left behind Don't you remember when all that mattered was this. to the road, the beginning, middle and the end. yeah it require's sacrifice lonely days and driving all night. Join the club. bony knees and sleepy eyes. It was always love at first sight. So as for me and mine we'll lay it on the line To pick up the slack you've left behind Rise or die, we'll stand or fall together No compromise fuck money tour forever So go ahead and take your bow. We wish you well now, GET THE FUCK OUT No time to waste You gave up your ground it's up to us to make history now WE'RE MAKING HISTORY NOW We'll do whatever it takes bleed out on every stage Don't need lights to spell our name. No quit in us, take this to your grave. eyes on the stars Head in the clouds every bruise and scar is our solemn vow this is who we are we'll burn the building down no skin, just heart We're taking over now Rise or die, we'll stand or fall together No compromise fuck money tour forever

So words were exchanged and three long years went by without saying a single thing sometimes we just move on no I'm not angry but I'm not easy I found my grass a little greener gotta say I'm glad that you were gone yes it's over, but we're not under floating idle, not getting younger we've been beating this dead for far too long so I'll write a postcard so you can see the view from here the place you used to live the things you'll never feel again maybe you want to see the signs and state lines, the sound and stage lights some things you say you just can't change sometimes you just move on go wrap your apologies around your throat I've choked enough down for us both call it thin but at least I gave a shit so here we are collecting dust just memories confined to rust call it thin but at least I gave a shit I'M SORRY YOU CAN'T LET GO I think it's time for me to lay this pen down hands are shaking and the ink is running out I've said what I can spoken my piece laid myself bare for the whole world to see come on skip the apologies no need for amends let's wipe the slate and just shake Hands I won't live in your shadow but I'd stand at your side once we were brothers can't we lay down our pride so call this a eulogy for all that we used to mean we'll start fresh and come clean it's time we just move on so here's your fucking three chords I'm sorry they're all I'm good for

There's a frequency One to share That we operate on Are you tuned in? Cause I hear a whisper I love the light I see in your eyes Like city lights from satellites Just like the northern sky With lights we whisper Our hearts the hymns, watching The sky in colors Just like the northern sky With lights we whisper Our hearts the hymns, watching The sky in colors and I feel your frequency running cables through my body let your heart sing me to sleep if your voice bellows out a melody I'll tune right in and be your harmony a song to sweet to sing (bridge) it's only getting louder as I hear you whisper back We orbit this planet With hearts immune to gravity The spark you gave me Burning reciprocating with hearts immune to gravity
