Killin It 03:09
Watch it break like knives in the pavement (Oh!) We brand and bury The sounds that carry all the weight (Woa-ah-oh oh-oh) Keep killin', keep killin' it (Woa-ah-oh oh-oh) The feelin' and this love of mine Life tonight with sell-outs and fading fakers Walk the line and hold hands with the sides you favor Guard your heart with rumble strip so much That there's no road left to follow into the sun I'm trying and failing! Watch it break like knives in the pavement! We brand and bury The sounds that carry all the weight (Woa-ah-oh oh-oh) Keep killin', keep killin' it (Woa-ah-oh oh-oh) The feelin' and this love of mine Climb and climb, does the view ever become the life? No time, the bomb won't wait to be analyzed Is it about the sound or the system? If you're talkin' to me how can you listen? (Hey!) Listen? (Hey!) Listen? Take the whole damn story in line And what it's worth Take every clash, battle, the guilt, and pride And fill the verse Now tell me do you feel it? Do you feel it? Do you feel it? The rip in the wings? Now tell me do you feel it? Do you feel it? Do you feel it? The slash of the heels? It's buried so what's left to feel? (Woa-ah-oh oh-oh) Watch it break like knives in the pavement! (Woa-ah-oh) GO! We're just getting warm! We brand and bury The sounds that carry all the weight (Woa-ah-oh oh-oh) Keep killin', keep killin' it! (Woa-ah-oh oh-oh) The feelin' and this love of mine!

Fighting with the bottle drinking me Sunrise on red eyes I'll take my one-man army to the streets For this week's story Washed up but he loves to say the lines To empties on car seats Most of the nights he starts as two of five With no chance to out man Ah-oh, The movie in my head is dragging on Turn it off and we’ll shut in on the songs that play In your heart like screams in caves And talks that stay ‘till dark turns into oncoming today You want a friend for life just listen to me I know how good it looks before it's gone The late bloom of a cold room The bar lit star who always plays it wrong Drinks to first tries on his last night Ah-oh, The movie in my head is dragging on Turn it off and we’ll shut in on the songs that play In your heart like screams in caves And talks that stay ‘till dark turns into oncoming today You want a friend for life just listen to me Fall to know it's fine, we can't expect much better The trade for better times, the turn down without question Don't you feel the pull? It's stronger now than ever It left like melting snow and came back tough as leather Fall to know it's fine, we can't expect much better The trade for better times, the turn down without question Don't you feel the pull? It's stronger now than ever It left like melting snow and came back tough as leather Wa-ah-ah-oh Wa-ah-ah-oh wo-ah-oh Wa-ah-ah-oh wo-ah-oh

Close Knit 04:24
How you've got it down, solid as firebrick Talk me all around, nothing or no one's problem you can't fix The tunnel vision sets and straight ahead has never looked this clear Grab the baseball bat, we're knocking loose the teeth of another year If not a keeper, then re-build it Dreams, for sleepers die in the blankets Change games or refuse to play? Can you fill out lines without the page? True and scared aren't the same Change games or refuse to play? Can you fill out lines without the page? True and scared aren't the same Play the waiting game, you against your circumstance Scavenge up the blame, piss poor exercise or its loser's chance You can hate the rain easy enough from a cardboard stage Working up complaints with nails, wood, hammers all at arm's length Fuck whatever and just passing, will you settle on a loose fastening? If not for keeps then what's it for? At least I'm happy over poor If it's not a keeper than re-build it Dreams, for sleepers, die in the blankets (Oh!) Change games or refuse to play? Can you fill out lines without the page? True and scared aren't the same Change games or refuse to play? Can you fill out lines without the page? True and scared aren't the same All you'll ever be is who you think you are Throwing bottles like you've never seen the wall Are you saving it for a willing world? All you'll ever be is who you think you are Are you saving it for a willing world? From close knit to seam rip, from upswing to fuck it all Fuck it all Can you change the game or refuse to play? Can you fill out lines without the page? 'Cuz true and scared, they're never quite the same The same 'Cuz true and scared, they're never quite the same Can you change the game or refuse to play? Can you fill out lines without the page? 'Cuz true and scared, they're never quite the same Close knit to seam rip, from upswing to fuck it all Close knit to seam rip, from upswing To fuck it all
