Hey here's the lyrics from my band's upcoming EP, let me know what you think
1. One Match
we smoked indoors.
we did our chores, but there always seemed to be more
i swear this house, it just messes itself up
Im starting to see the motion everywhere,
and that past is all that pauses here
somehow i feel its not all where we're going,
but how we're getting there
i wanted to find myself more
the figure which was closer, the window or the door
we smoked indoors.
and we locked our doors, but they still found a way in
i swear this house, its just killing us all
is it waiting for discovery?
who you are, and what you came to be?
how you come to realize this isnt you at all,
have you become comfortable?
i wanted to find myself more
then find out which exit i prefer
ride this wave with me
deny your destiny
and we smoked indoors
cause we all got bored
everything i wanted to find in here
is eveything you swear we'll find out there
we seeing ourselves in a two way mirror
with a devil on the other side, starring us down
don't doubt we fooled this town into thinking we belonged around
I'll bring the match, we'll watch together
I can't think of anything better
2. The American Dream
I had a dream American influence died
sometime after we were born, and before we learned to hide
Tried to fall back asleep
but I couldn't close my eyes
It was the American dream
It was all that kept the seam from bursting
I had a dream I was the last one alive
everyone ended it all in a world mass suicide
how hard for each to give, each one to forgive
awake you sleeper, recognize this is all a lie
It was the American Dream
It was all that kept the kids from cursing
Does it all feel better, once you learn not to think
(It rings true like a bell)
what did you find
once you fell
Some where between heaven and hell
It was the American Dream
the fuel that kept us all reversing
3. Allies
Swear me alligeince while we still have our youth
let the good times roll, let the bad nights be rebuked
lets make memories instead of these conflicting views
Swear me alligience, or we're both doomed
Im not asking for forgiveness, im beggin for grace
if we dont get along we'll surely be replaced
and i seriously suggest that we start makin haste
cause their closin the entrance and baring the gate
everything we hated about them then
we turned into, we turned into
all the things we talked about doing
we've yet to do them
its worse than i feared..
Swear me your honour while we still have some time
if we walk out now we loose our spot in line
and it seems like an awful waste of that old dollar sign
so swear me your honour, or redefine
everything we hated about them then
we turned into, we turned into
all the things we talked about doing
we've yet to do them
its worse than i feared
yeah i've invested all the rest of myself in this game
so swear me the best of you and i'll do the same
4. Shot for Shot
quit while you're ahead baby
quit while you're ahead of me
is the demon that's been keeping you awake
the same one thats been keeping me
don’t you see its all the same thing
and theres no difference at all
between finding out what I know
and who you were all along
I've been waiting for a long time and i expect i'll be waiting more
what else, my friend, is the future for?
to short to prepare perfection
but its a long time to pretend
what if everything you've saved now for so long
proved to be no value in the end
would you still hold on, my friend?
it's been too long now i can't remember
what the original intent was
she keeps needing me to find meaning in everything
and im finding it all falling short
I've been waiting for a long time and I expect I’ll be waiting more
what else, my friend, is the future for?
to short to prepare perfection
its a long time to pretend
what if everything you've saved now for so long
proved to be no value in the end
would you still hold on, my friend?
