Why We Fight Lyrics

The Fall Of George Mallory

And the birds eat your insides

Clutching the mountain side

(It's where the day takes you)

Did you think you would try to climb the face?

There's longing and it breaks you

(Synthetic lies)

You're filling up with concrete

Didn't miss a breath

When you climbed so high

Did you see your wife and child

And where you ready to die

A million miles away, would you throw it all away?

Simple dreams in the mainstream

Is where the day takes you

Simple dreams in the mainstream

But you just died a million miles from home

Where Shadows Lie

You made my heart your home

So I snuck up on the rooftop

To peer down at you

Through the skylight

To find that you were setting fires

Who sets fire to their own home?

My chest is burning

But I am not the one pointing fingers

Not making accusations

It is the last day of summer and I am standing alone

Only this time it is cold and it is two years later

I see everything in a thousand shades of red

Now that the scales have fallen from my eyes

You fan the flames

Every time there is silence

You fan the flames

With departure

Only you can put me out

So you put me out

I am falling down

Still burning from the inside

And I see you right there by my side

You will see this time

So I put you out

Castaway

I head for distant lands

Leaving my expenses

Forsake this land of plastic

I would try to be something but you won't stop talking

Drifting for the farthest shore

I would try to be something but you won't stop debating

Try to find ways so I can start living

It's been said the things you buy they own you

But they don't own me anymore

This time things will be different

Submitting to this mountain

Can't find your way to the top

This time things will change

Stranded on a distant shore waves crash down on me

Just another wasted year

Turning on the vide castaway

Im not a part of what you see

Golden Ticket

Recieve news of your misfortune

And it's scratching out my eyes, biting at my heart

But i've got something to offer

So this isn't a time to hide my hands

Still I hide my heart, still I hide my heart

This is where the rubber meets the road

It's where we forget our transgressions

And move on, i'll carry you burden

For certain you have heard

Of hands that long for you to hold them

This ticket is golden, this ticket is golden

If you want to view paradise

Simply look around and view it

It's there that you will find me listening

(you can take tomorrow, dip it in a dream)

Don't look too hard

Cause i'm tearing off my face so you wont hurt alone

Let's start today

Make your mind up, grab a weapon

Move on

Nobody Wins

Subtract the greed that spurs you on and there's no room for them in your shitty scene

Feeding on a carcass to sustain a following

Nobody wins

You want it all and you spoil it for nothing

The scene is dying

You bleed it dry

You'll get what you want

You feed on us, but you're so wrong

Now running out of fuel who worships you

You persecute you

The music fails you

Who hails you?

The royalty of a shitty scene

It's a joke you can keep it

Nicarockya

So run away to find solace in the nothingness of running day to day

It's over

Nothing is fine when the soles of your shoes are broken and you can't run anywhere

What was it for and was it all worth fighting for?

Now I want you to find a way to your happiness

Running was easy, but now you'll go back to your happiness

Beware, Beware

Beware, beware out of their closets

The skeletons are coming

Come down with me where the woods meet the water

Let's get away from your dirty little secrets

Notice the silence as we submerge in water by moonlight

Stay down stay under don't come up

A little bit longer, a little bit longer now

Don't hold your breath

Your face is bloating and quickly becoming perfect

Your skeletons aren't much of a problem now

Game Over

Now with silence broken

Your torch has sputtered out

And now the tribe has spoken

You're voted out

And there's not time for your last words

I hope that you feel rotten when you get what you earn.

For what it's worth, I'll be happy when you're gone

You're just a little man, you burned the bridge

We're not the same

The consequences come when they're the last things that you're looking for.

Not the nucleus of your stupid game

You're not the judge...

I'm not the same as I used to be

When all you sew is hate; it's a bitter harvest

You'll get what you earn

You'll get back what you ask for, but you won't win this time

You won't win

I'll shut you down

Game over

With silence broken, my tired voice can sing I'm sorry

The Child

Glorious light covers him tonight

Him: unaware and silent, six years old and sleeping

The rest of us: dying and waiting for him to grow old

Old enough to save us

Old Yeah, so save us, save us (so save us)

Glorious light covers him tonight

One hundred twenty volts wired straight to his soul (straight to his soul)

But beyond the hills a shadow is falling through the valley of ashes where death meets destruction

Oh Yeah, so lead us, lead us (so lead us)

The reign of death will die and we will strike

Keepin on his perseverance merits preservation

Our enemies sails will hang on broken masts and their tackle will be rendered useless, rendered useless

Sometimes it takes the mind of a child to overcome

If it's what you've found, trust what you see.

Ask: is there something wrong with this picture?

And take it over

Why We Fight

So we beat on

Our boats against the current

So we beat on...

These waters are uncharted bravely we sail alone

Riding the storm

Clutching honor bearing pride

Ocean salt that burns our wounds only this immortal ship will prevail

The sun sinks into distant waters in the west and off to the east the green light shimmers

Admist the fog

It stands desolate and harbors broken dreams

Which we will defend
