Sound the alarm, we've sped past the places we've been
I left these years in the back of the car
We'll have to charm the spirits our folly let in
My conscience was lost but it can't be too far
Don't stray too far, the winds will blow you from your course
The lyrics we wrote sound like ties torn apart
And I'm too diluted to know where I'm from
On the floor in the garage
In your room with a knife to my wrist
But I don't care

Shadows move with this in mind
They won't save you now, or ever
Treading through the past, take some shots for me
When genetics call, escape the revelry
The pressure builds and then it's gone
So I'll just walk another block
And I can't wait for this to take five years from memory
So there's nothing there, 'cuz there's nothing there
Taking on the aftershock, a turn one-eighty
The situation comes to show that I stopped caring
All the things I used to love are beside me
With everything my father's done, I leave this city

There's a war waged in our wake
Up to the sight of our hands on our hearts
Mark the pages of days I kept you close
Time will close the gates if I missed any notes
Used to taking time; fortify the line
Stop, drop, raise the banner for the things that tear us apart
Please don't go, it's all I've ever known
This tempo will break the metronome
Better times were back at seventeen
Waiting for a chance to blow off steam
And I won't leave you here, I won't let you go
I won't leave you here, it's all I've ever known
This tempo will break the metronome

Staying here with nothing going on
Never had time for last resorts
For sure, heat sinks into the poor at heart
And I'm not safe from it; I'm the moon, it's the sun
Taking time is wasting time for ones without a home
And the reach of holy spirits fell short every time I ever tried
There's a place for people like us
There's a way to learn to pray
For sure, I'm not one to say "I love you" to
I'll find solitude in you
So nothing can take my pride away
Nothing takes my pride away
Please don't forgive me
Please never forgive me
We are alone
I used to have friends, and I loved them more
I don't want a funeral

And I won't let this go
The seasons tell me what I need to know
That blankets on the golf course will keep our secrets safe
And leaving is a test of our faith
To recognize and realize that we're each others' brightest place
This town can't keep a straight face when we set a new course
Your eyes are fixed on mine as I walk out your door
This driveway's a fine place to be, not many know complacency
I know your thoughts on poetry, I'm never indifferent
The moon is smiling back at you as you avoid impending doom (We're alive, We're alive)
I'm sure that Hell has lots of room, I'm not alive (We're alive, We're not alive)
