The Life & Death of a Plea for Purging

Look at all of us running Always behind, always late We're always playing catch-up In this human race Look at all of us running Always behind, always late We're always playing catch-up In this human race All of these young men dying of old age To feel alive could cost you everything It's hard to hold onto your ideals when you lost your, when you lost your innocence When the dreams you've caught aren't the dreams you've chased Now your hearts are bleeding To keep this pace The kid you were hates the man you became You can't remember what you wanted You just can't feel the same Remember what you wanted Remember what you chased Remember what you wanted Remember what you chased All of these young men dying of old age To feel alive could cost you everything It's hard to hold onto your ideals when you lost your, when you lost your innocence When the dreams you've caught Aren't the dreams you've chased Now your hearts are bleeding To keep this pace The kid you were hates the man you became You can't remember what you wanted You just can't feel the same Look at all of us running Always behind, always late We're always playing catch-up In this human race Look at all of us running Always behind, always late We're always playing catch-up In this human race Remember what you chased

Music City never shines so bright as the nights when coming home to those lights All the cities, buildings, and bridges in this country can't compare to the love affair between you and me I have traveled the whole worldwide and I can't find a better place to reside Every single tour takes me kicking and screaming Thirty hours from home, my Nashville heart's still beating My Nashville heart's still beating Take me back home to all the kids in our town Who knows me for me My heart's back in Music City Music City is where my heart beats Music City is where my heart beats Alert the skies as hell retreats I'm saying goodbye to my apathy To all the workers in this town Losing their minds in this great modern hell The ghosts have their guns and they will destroy Buried under broken glass lays their promised threat From Hollywood to Vancouver, Fridays mean hysteria As wolverines break out But tell Sophia and Alcina We're still kicking it Bring me back home Bring me back home Music City is where my heart beats Music City is where my heart beats

Dreams are the soul's misfortune, meaningless and insecure This heart could try and heal itself but I've gone and lost the cure

In the winter of 2010, I lost my mother to the barrel of her loaded gun Two weeks later my forgotten dad lost the battle of his life long suicidal run He was dead to me years ago but losing her was an eternal blow I've spoke in the past of the broken, but now I really know If there's one thing I've learned, we're all put here to die So why jump your turn I'm living day by day There's strange comfort in apathy Lay cold and alone in the ground Will it be paradise or will you burn This is all a gamble until it's your turn He was dead to me years ago but losing her was an eternal blow I've spoke in the past of the broken, but now I really know There's strange comfort in apathy Home is where the broken heart is. x3 Son to none. No home but the roads I roam. x2 Home is where the broken heart is. x2 We're all brokenhearted

These wheels are turning in my head To slowly go Where I'd rather be instead Laying low Skin and bones, we know Made of stone, move slow Move slow These are the days Fear takes its hold around my throat Lost is the chase Giving in to distance left to go to make it home This heart is bleeding in my chest From letting go (I just can't stop from needing) Hope in a better place instead Somewhere to grow (I wish we could start leaving) Hands and feet, won't move All these things we'll lose We’ll lose These are the days Fear takes its hold around my throat Lost is the chase Giving in to distance left to go we can’t go home

There's a battle for my soul Between God, the devil, and rock n roll And when my head hits the sheets my feet will hit the ground running to heaven Before the devil knows I'm dead This place is a waiting room Hoarding the diseased, waiting their turn Sicker and sicker I wait and wait I feel my lungs becoming numb This place is a deadly room, culturing disease, waiting to burn Pacing and pacing I wait and wait I feel my legs becoming numb Doctor I've got this lump in my throat It's not the cigarettes that stunt my growth There's voices inside my head I need the medicine Doctor I've got this lump in my throat It's not the cigarettes that stunt my growth There's voices inside my head I need the medicine Who will win the battle for my soul Between God, the devil, and rock n roll And when my head hits the sheets my feet are tired of running (and running and running) This place is a waiting room Hoarding the diseased, waiting their turn Sicker and sicker I wait and wait I feel my lungs becoming numb This place is a deadly room, culturing disease, waiting to burn Pacing and pacing I wait and wait I feel my legs becoming numb Doctor I've got this lump in my throat It's not the cigarettes that stunt my growth There's voices inside my head I need the medicine Doctor I've got this lump in my throat It's not the cigarettes that stunt my growth There's voices inside my head I need the medicine Murdered or the murderers, we're all the same Kingsmen or the poorly dressed, we're pawns in this game Murdered or the murderers, we're all the same Kingsmen or the poorly dressed, we're pawns in this Doctor I've got this lump in my throat It's not the cigarettes that stunt my growth There's voices inside my head I need the medicine Doctor I've got this lump in my throat It's not the cigarettes that stunt my growth There's voices inside my head I need the medicine

Hell walks the earth His name is pain I swear to God I've seen him He's no stranger to me I know him well I'll write your name into the stars We all have hell at our backs ready to take us Salvation for these many scars We all have dreams at night we're scared to speak of They say everything happens for a reason and we all have purpose here Can you tell me what this all means and why God am I here? We are all the same We fight the same fight with different faces in different places Demons by other names, they haunt us at night with different faces in different places If all roads lead home, then home is pain I swear to God I've been there This place gets stranger by the day Am I in hell? You've taken this a step too far We all have hell at our backs ready to take us We need you staying where you are We all have dreams at night we're scared to speak of They say everything happens for a reason and we all have purpose here Can you tell me what this all means and why God am I here? We are all the same We fight the same fight with different faces in different places Demons by other names, they haunt us at night with different faces in different places If all roads lead home, then home is pain I swear to God I've been there This place gets stranger by the day Am I in hell? We all fight for peace of mind We all fight for peace of mind

My cynicism was never yours to boast You've greatly missed the point of what was said Instead of questioning them, you just followed me Robots, zombies, cattle herded by other's words It was never meant to be like this Breeding your anger was not my intention Though that be the case, I've made this bed and now we all have to weep in it Hate, dissension between brothers of the same Words meant to provoke thought, misread instead Was I even right in my accusations My words are a weak foundation for your war Hate, dissension, war Did I start this? Hate, dissension, war I can't stop this I can’t stop this It was never meant to be like this Breeding your anger was not my intention Though that be the case, I've made this bed and now we all have to weep in it If the pen is stronger than the sword, we will end the world with screens and keyboards If the pen is stronger than the sword, we will end the world with screens and keyboards If the pen is stronger than the sword, we will end the world with screens and keyboards

Speak of regretting, and all the risk we take Speak to the morning, and when our eyes awake The patterns are completing, the men they say we are But as the sun is setting, I'll answer in the dark When the world sings of all its trouble And I hear all about its pain I'll listen in For its groans are not in vain It's hard to remember, how these dreams were made When all the reasons, and all the rules have changed There's healing in His voice, and freedom in The Name But these misunderstandings we give up all the same When the world sings of all its trouble And I hear all about its pain I'll listen in For its groans are not in vain

Five years long I've been running these open roads Five years long With no place to call home Run away From everything you've ever known Run away With no place to call home Five years long I've been running these open roads Five years long I have no place to call my home Gain a friend, then I lose a friend It doesn't matter cause tomorrow it will happen again I'm losing touch with everyone at home It's really hard when you're born, born to roam Oh, how I hate the line, "outta sight, outta mind” I'm on the search for the greenest grass that I will never find Oh, how I hate the line, "outta sight, outta mind” I'm on the search for the greenest grass that I will never find I've run and run I've drove and drove Three hundred thousand miles of lonely roads To see the ones I love at home Move on and on without me I'm just a memory Is this the life I chose? (Have I chosen poorly) Or has it chosen me? (Will it let me go now?) With action comes reaction (We're all a slave to something) Dreams aren't meant to be lonely (Will you answer me?) Is this heaven or hell? Is this "living the dream" or is this a living nightmare? Five years long I've been running these open roads Five years long With no place to call home

The world is on fire And I've done nothing but watch it burn The world is on fire And soon it will take the last of us I've heard it said before that boys play games and men live the truth I've had it all wrong this whole time because I thought it was all brawn and brute All these tattoos and all these miles haven't made me a man just yet I'm nothing more than a frightened kid demanding undeserved respect The world is on fire The world is on fire I've been thinking a lot these days: what if Hell's not all fire and devils? All that stuff they taught us as children just to keep us scared and wondering at night What if we make our own hell every time we cause pain? Every time we cause suffering there's hell on earth to pay We are all murderers here This is the life we chose, the life we lead There's only one guarantee here None of us deserves to be set free We are all murderers here This is the life we chose, the life we lead There's only one guarantee here None of us deserves to be set free We are all murderers here This is the life we chose, the life we lead There's only one guarantee here None of us deserves to be set free We are all murderers here This is the life we chose, the life we lead There's only one guarantee here None of us deserves to be set free
