Good morning Sunshine! This is your wake up call so blow it hard like revelry because today is the day when everything changes and nothing can stay the same This is for you. This Is For You, This is for you. Another day wasted or won that choice is yours to make will you pay the piper or steal his tune and dance til the end of the day This is for you. This Is For You, This is for you. Consider this a weapon forged in the fires of my heart Take it and do all the damage that you can, before they come for you and you know they will Heroes like us can't stay for long and as it turns out we can't even save ourselves Take and do all the damage that you can before they come for you this is for you burn them to the ground this is for you.

Lifeboats 01:16
Did you ever consider if it was worth the fight? Did you stop to consider if it was wrong or right? You can't save everyone You can't take everyone with you Lifeboats only hold so many Rock and Roll can't save everyone. So here I am on the other side of a laugh I think there's something out there for me but it might be the past Oh my god, what a sinking sensation Oh my god, what a nasty surprise When everything I ever worked for isn't even worth the drive I know I can't save everybody but sometimes that's all I got I know I can't take them with me but it's gotta be worth a shot.

Growing up in Desperation you watch things wither and you watch them die so you get out or they make sure you die trying you climb the mountain or you toe the line. You look around and they offer no solutions but they'll tell you that it's greener on the other side There's no progress there's no evolution but they'll tell you that it's greener on the other side Growing out of Desperation you choose to hang or you learn to climb.

Got no time for poetry so hear me out cross my heart and hope to die beyond a shadow of a doubt and other cliches that I'm too tired to spout right now. Just know that this is a promise when I say that I'll be there.

Anthem 01:38
Will there come a time when we will learn this ivory tower is no place for us building walls just gives us something else to burn we just need an anthem we can trust Whoa-oh-oh-oh. Whoa-oh-oh-oh. We knew if we built then they would come but we never dreamed they would lay siege to us tied up, tied down in every way I had no idea, you'd throw it away. Whoa-oh-oh-oh. Whoa-oh-oh-oh. My heart never sleeps Whoa-oh-oh-oh. and I will not concede Whoa-oh-oh-oh. to market my legacy Whoa-oh-oh-oh. Whoa-oh-oh-oh.

If I would've known that you'd laid a finger on her that'd been the day that your world came crashing down down down like an atom bomb crashing down In all her strength and all her silence she is more beautiful than anything you'll ever be So thank the stars thank the god that 'saved' you that you got lucky and never ran in to me.

If your light has gone out stranding you in the dark light this candle and hold it high and know that this burns forever. Take everything you're taught and everything you know stack it up like a funeral pyre and know that this burns forever ...and I will stand by this fire and I will watch for the dawn I'll keep this vigil until I see you until I see you turn around and when I see you turn around (matt hates this lyric bc it's lazy) with bonfires in your eyes I think they call this walking up and I can't help but think its beautiful. Lies lock the door but truth kicks open a window letting in the air that we need and let our fears float out like butterflies, fast to the horizon fading fast with the dawn so light this candle and hold it hight and know that this burns forever.

You threw away more than I ever had you can't wait to light the flame and burn your bridges back to square one just to hear yourself complain you want it bad, you want it so bad so you can piss it all away (Hey, hey, hey) all your life that glass is half empty you'd probably spill it anyway The time The place none of that shit matters just as long as you're on top of your fucking ladder.

All your life you go unchosen unwanted so you stay close to the ground saying: "It's always you and never me" "It's always you and never me" Here's a fucking noble idea let's level out this playing field we'll cull the cruel and hunt the stupid and see how that works out. They're always worth the fight if their so fucking tough you give them all you got and it's never enough so you lower your standards and you cross that line and even if you win it's a waste of your time Go. Don't be a weakling stand up for yourself Don't be one of them. "It's always you and never me"

Panic washes over me like ocean waves and I can't find my feet as the sand slips through my fingers and then you pick me up again and carry me on without maps or legends when in truth we don't need either This is where we're joining forces this is where we follow through this is where we find the answer (whoa-oh-oh) this is where everything is true. So fuck today we've got tomorrow in our sights and we'll build it our own way we buried the past in a shallow unmarked grave just outside of this town

Never Enough 01:10
This is my fight This is my life This is my fight This is my life I found this baby bird so far from the nest she probably hit every branch on the way down, how do I even fix this why should I even try when everything I do is never enough. Excuse me for giving a damn I'm trying to fix this the only way I can I found this baby bird so far from the nest she probably hit every branch on the way down, how do I even fix this why should I even try when everything I do is never enough.

Nostalgia has a way of making us wish that things were as fucked now as they were way back then we remember pain without condquence scars without shame or degredation we smile and laugh as if the pain that shaped us was a rough night and a rougher morning when it was so much more more than we've borne to this point. I bear these scars on my back like a badge of honor and a callous against my heart I bear these scars on my back as an armor against myself and a callous against my heart like a badge of honor and I must remember I must remember I can never go back and I must remember I must remember I can never go back and that's ok. It's ok. and that's ok.

about

This album was our ultimate labor of love. We attempted recording at least half of these songs on three different occasions, almost dying in a snow storm in Kentucky the first time around. This recording is from the good folks at Gunshow Productions in Asheville,NC. This is our last record with Nate Thomas on second guitar. If you know Nate Thomas, you know he's irreplaceable, so we've been a one guitar band ever since. This full length started out life as a seven inch that was never released. As a result of a long chain of events that are too ridiculous to discuss here, we ended up self releasing this with some help from Dead End Records just before our first tour. Jordan Luff joined the band on bass literally days before we went into the studio. We'll be recording our 2011 full length with Evan and Gunshow and we're stoked.
