"This Is Home"

We work and slave the day away,
We're raised in perfect families,
We fuck and fight like vagabonds
We dance like fucking animals,
Don't stop the band is coming on
Rude boys and punks will shout along
Police cars bring cuffs and loaded guns
Kids scream but laughing as they run

I-I-I, I-I-I, I-I-I hope
Do you wanna let go, yo-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh,
Cause this is home

Gunshots the punks are rioting
The stage is slowly crumbling
Smashed doors and try to stay alive,
A few drinks and a lot of broken lights

Go hide and call the cavalry,
Let's dance in perfect harmony
Get close the crowd will come apart
That girl will try to make you hard

I-I-I, I-I-I, I-I-I hope
Do you wanna let go, uh-oh-oh, uh-oh-oh,
Do you wanna this time,
I-I-I, I-I-I, I hope you wanna let go, whoa-oh-oh, uh-oh-oh,
Cause this is home

I-I-I, I-I-I, I-I-I hope
Do you wanna let go, uh-oh-oh, uh-oh-oh,
Do you wanna this time,
I-I-I, I-I-I, I hope you wanna let go, whoa-oh-oh, uh-oh-oh,
Cause this is home

"MH 4.18.2011"

Coming in, coming in, kill the radio silence
Break down in L.A.
Giving up, giving in to a feeling of violence
There's hell to pay
So let's light another match, stop living in the past
Where nobody can hear me now
Blow the lock off the cage, watch the children come of age
When their parents stop to take a bow

Nothing takes root in this barren soil
Nothing takes root in this barren soil
Maybe there's no one there at all

Hold on, the worst is yet to come
Save your money for hired guns
Hold strong when everything you loved is gone
Slow down and stop living in the shadow of a helicopter

Line 'em up on the wall, coming out with their hands up
Give 'em all the chair
Let it burn, let it fall, let the end of the world come
Who's left to care?

Nothing takes root in this barren soil
Nothing takes root, though they bend and toil
Maybe there's no one there at all

Hold on, the worst is yet to come
Save your money for hired guns
Hold strong when everything you loved is gone
Slow down and stop living in the shadow of a helicopter

Hold on, the worst is yet to come
Save your money for hired guns
Hold strong when everything you loved is gone
Slow down and stop living in the shadow of a helicopter

Stop living in the shadow of a helicopter

"Love Is Dangerous"

I have had it with this damn double vision
My hands swollen, I can't keep holding on
My hearts sinking and stuck in deadly rhythm
I can't fake it. I can't, can't brush it off.

Love, love is dangerous
Love, love is so dangerous

I'm back at it, I just don't seem to listen
I see your lips, I just can't hear the sound
It's all static, just like my television
There's still something, her eyes cut through the clouds

(I need) love, love is dangerous
(Here it comes, don't be fooled when she says it)
Love, love is so dangerous
(We'll betray the ones we care about)
Love, love is so dangerous
(Life's cruel so we all pretend to find)
Love, love is dangerous

(I need) love, love is dangerous
(Here it comes, don't be fooled when she says it)
Love, love is so dangerous
(We'll betray the ones we care about)
Love, love is so dangerous
(Life's cruel so we all pretend to find)
Love, love is dangerous

This air is too thick to breath so just drive, (just drive, just drive)
these eyes are too sick too see, go leave me behind (behind, behind)
something swimming in my blood, somethings rotting in my brain
I'm smothered from the flood, I can't recognize your face,
I need to leave so just drive,

Burning lights on the street, fight fighting the gravity (fight fighting the gravity)
When I'm beat and defeated, they'll take you away from me (they'll take you away from me)
I'm getting lost in a dream, yes, this is the last of me (yes, this is the last of me)
I'm always fighting the gravity

Tonight is too much for me to get through, (get through)
Tomorrow's just a darkened hall to an empty room,
When I'm far away from you.

Burning lights on the street, fight fighting the gravity (fight fighting the gravity)
When I'm beat and defeated, they'll take you away from me (they'll take you away from me)

"Even If She Falls"

And she was,
Like a starry night,
Like a ferris wheel
Full of blue green eyes,
And a heart of steel
Always on her own,
Almost never real

When, the night will begin,
The pain it won't end
Even if she falls in love
Back, you wanna turn back
Your heart will attack
Even if she falls in love

And she was,
Like a blade of ice
Like a lonely road
Clear as day alive
Always sharp and cold
Always beautiful
I am such a fool

When, the night will begin,
The pain it won't end
Even if she falls in love
Back, you wanna turn back,
Your heart will attack,
Even if she falls in love

Try, the look in her eye,
The light is just right
Even if she falls in love
And, it isn't so bad,
It's driving you mad
Even if she falls in love

When, the night will begin,
The pain it won't end
Even if she falls in love
Back, you wanna turn back,
Your heart will attack,
Even if she falls in love

Try, the look in her eye,
The light is just right,
Even if she falls in love
And, it isn't so bad,
It's driving you mad
Even if she falls in love

Dogs Eating Dogs (EP, 2012)



"When I Was Young"

I woke up today surrounded by blackness
The small morning sun devoured the process
It's always been fun when I get a bit nervous
And it's hard to say but I feel a bit weightless
The more I admit, I feel a bit anxious
The more I go on, the less I can face this
And those rotten things that live in our shadow
We walk on the line of death and the gallows
And hope that we clear a path we can follow

It was the worst damn day
(It doesn't hurt that much)
Of my life
I made a mess today
(It doesn't hurt that much)
I'm alright
It doesn't hurt that much

When I was young, the world it was smaller
The cities were vast, the buildings were taller
I felt really strong-- my parents seemed stronger
But life has a way, it showers with greatness
Then takes it away, those pieces that made us
Then teaches you things you'd never imagine
We all get the same-- the memories, the burdens
The pictures we made, they still form a pattern
They cautiously say, "Does it all matter?"

It was the worst damn day
(It doesn't hurt that much)
Of my life
I made a mess today
(It doesn't hurt that much)
I'm alright
It doesn't hurt that much

"Dogs Eating Dogs"

I've got a feeling, I've got a feeling
These broken nights and bitter ends
We would always starve and devour
Our closest friends my beautiful friends
Paranoia my paranoia
Can't let it go, it never lets me go
What am I feeling, why am I feeling
Forecast into the freezing cold

Dogs eating dogs, dogs eating dogs, dogs eating dogs
Dogs eating dogs, dogs eating dogs, dogs eating dogs

I'm the last and the first in a very sad set of eyes
To the bone, to the knees, to the factory line
I am numb to the shot, I have a crippling fear of heights
'Cause the fall sounds a lot like a symphony of cries

Your only hope is burning down the chapel
All getting washed out with the tide
We need to find some middle ground
It's always sex or suicide

Dogs eating dogs, dogs eating dogs, dogs eating dogs
Dogs eating dogs, dogs eating dogs, dogs eating dogs

I'm the last and the first in a very sad set of eyes
To the bone, to the knees, to the factory line
I am numb to the shot, I have a crippling fear of heights
'Cause the fall sounds a lot like a symphony of cries

"Disaster"

[...]

Fall comes a loaded gun
Black ties for everyone
Can you read my mind
Fall in my arms again
Grey stones that break apart
French braids demonic art
The dead come alive
Fall in my arms again

Again
I'm scared of the dark my friends
What do you fear my love
Hold on you're breaking up

Disaster disaster
Disaster disaster

White stones of hollow eyes
Death comes you better hide
Never rest in town
Fall in my arms again
Full moon on a rotten night
Eighteen and a wind came by
Not a soul around
Fall in my arms again

Again
I'm scared of the dark my friends
What do you fear my love
Your soul it will float like a dove
Your words they will scream out our love
Your lips they will [?]

"Boxing Day"

Let's get started, the faint and broken-hearted,
Hold it up, I've got something I cannot hide.
Worst painkiller, that all-in filler,
The apart and departed look in my eyes.

Sad, how far you ran, I'll search this land,
Up through the clouds then back here.
We could reignite like fireflies, like an atom bomb,
At all hours.

I'm empty like the day after christmas,
Swept beneath the wave of your goodbye.
You left me on the day after christmas,
There's nothing left to say, and so goodnight.

I will follow the trail to tomorrow,
With my loneliness with sorrow all through the night.
Sons and daughters, mothers and their fathers.
Just the bridges and the waters their clues left behind.

Sad, how far you ran, I'll search this land,
Up through the clouds then back here.
We could reignite like fireflies, like an atom bomb,
At all hours.

I'm empty like the day after christmas,
Swept beneath the wave of your goodbye.
You left me on the day after christmas,
There's nothing left to say, and so goodnight.

I'm empty like the day after christmas,
Swept beneath the wave of your goodbye.
You left me on the day after christmas,
There's nothing left to say, and so goodnight.

Goodnight.

"Pretty Little Girl"

And you never really know where it goes until it starts
I've got my eye on you
Whatcha gonna do

[?]
[?]
And I can't picture you but I sure got the feeling right
What a crazy world
Pretty little girl

And we wasted the night in a bed with a bruise
And we're laughing out loud over the craziest news
When you reach for my hand I was scared in your room
We fell on the floor and we started to move
And your hands were like birds as they flew from the coop
Up my back they would climb just as I came unglued

She said
If you break my heart then I'll change your mind
And I'll do it again
If you play the part then I will play mine
And I'll do it again
If we miss the mark if we hold on tight
We'll be there to try it again

Nineteen and you roll across the bedroom floor
Your eyes they came alight as you're dreaming of our future home
And the kids are growing up as you and I we are growing old
What a crazy world
Pretty little girl
