Courage
Through the rain with love as our anchor
There's just enough here to show us the courage that courses through the veins
Knock it down like a bridge
Set it up like a prechorus
These are the tales that our grandfathers tell to their young
Now we're lost
This ship is no such place for heathens and harbingers
It's a shame son
This is the line that you crossed
It's the fine line that separated caskets from carpenters
I wish we'd wash our hands of this and watch you drift away
We need the last word
Don't let him go
He seems to be getting away
Ready? Aim
Fire
Go for the throat
Don't be surprised if he already knows
How numbered his days are and how fast
We'll pull the plug on this three-ring circus
I swear Son this is business
If you betray us all traitors are fit with cement shoes
Tonight when you sleep with the fishes
You can measure the tides as your heathen embraces you
Once we've washed out hands of this we'll watch you float away
This is what happens when your friends turn their backs
Now we turn the table
This is your well deserved revenge
Get used to this
Find a stonger ship
You're the one that's sinking
The current's too slow by steady
Pushing you away disturbing its flow and burning
You'll becoming one with the waves
This is so pure
This is banishment forever
Have you lost your way?
The red sun is over the horizon as we drink to the future
Here's to everything after the sun sets tonight
I'll see you far from sober
We'll watch you as you sink
We've drank the last of the rye
As sure as the sun sets tonight I'll see you south of the Cape of True Love
On the floor of the Ocean of Friendships
I'll see you in hell if that's what you want me to do
It's ironic sometimes how we meet our demise
As the fishes feast out of the backs of your eyes
Let this tale be a lesson in life
You only get back what you give son
Fuck you

It comes just like a comet
I see it I feel this feeling over me
I'm doing everything to support my each and every dream
And when my dream is this close to me I can't help but scream
That this way's the way for me
I'll make you see that this way's the way for me
I'll make you see what is meant by dedication
You put your heart to something true
These things that mean the world to you
For example this simple machine means a billion things to me
There's nothing you can do to stop me or this machine
I'll make you see that this way's the way for me
I'll make you believe these things we know
Take the time to show this brand new road this brand new home
Once as a hare forever the tortoise
This head safe to see this so far
This heart safe to take this so far
Forever the tortoise
My protective shell protects my insides
From all foul attempts to take this passion

This calls for a reception
For some can take so long and some move in a new direction
This direction isn't welcome it's true
I'm coming home I've got some things to say to you
Seasons change with time feelings come and go
These things I realize more than you know
I asked her if she missed me
I've been here way too long
And Winnipeg has such a history of separating what is tired and true
I'm coming home there's not one thing you can do I promise you
When you underrate this power of us
You place it last and place yourself first
When you underrate this power of love
It stays behind and puts everything above
And I cried myself to sleep a million times
Sweet cliches that I scribe are theraputic
Inside it wasn't effort
It was your life and you lived it well
There I said it
Now gas up your car for this long trip home
I'll go but not with you

So tense so strong when subtleties are solemn spoken and seldom
So this beat will keep going on
whether you pass out or I'm drunk in Bristow
I'm sorry but where were you when all we had was topsoil?
For friends in need have filter
Take heed and knock it all down
I'll build it again
Sometime you'll see this somehow you'll know
Some day someone will say I told you so
Is this what you believe?
Is this what you wanted to recieve?
So you can learn how to think properly
When logic and reason shall repeat?
Is this what you believe?
We've been lucky so far
but Sara warned me about drives like these they're so...
I know who my friends are
I know my place in this spectrum (where my seats are)
I'm sorry but there's certain things I don't discuss
At Subways in Pittsburgh or through Buffalo
This ride could last forever
Take heed and knock it down
I'll smile and build it right back up again, so come and sever
Remember not to worry
For when you're gone I'll call you when it's over

This is all it takes to inspire
Light it up the fire
Let it burn inside of the brain
When I fall I can take that fire
And become the prior as the flames melt off the pain
So tonight we'll cut up the tile and do it in style
Close to me we'll smoke ourselves to sleep
These songs my friend are my prescription
This is the way I deal with everything
It's more than this to me
If you hold it against me I will hold it against you
This is your night I can help you to sleep
So go on
Before you run and hide
I've taken it in stride
I've burned you something new
You can keep that with you so you can hear those songs while you're alone
You'll say that "this is the way I deal with you so deal with it"
The record in the player was Caution
So don't stop
This nest one could make my blood curd
Lie awake
Let it break then slip into the bloodstream
This is my song

This papercut is so far from deep
But juse deep enough to cause it to bleed
While this kind of pain helps you to sleep
It's what I wake up to and why I scream
When separation becomes routine I turn the page and start over again
This frustration as you can see is what I'm becoming accustomed to
Now I come in peace to let you know what that was for me
So pass your time passing out and passing on the torches
Forgetting all the sources of your smile.
It takes some time but look around and find a shoe that fits you
It probably won't hit you for a while
Just take a step back and watch me bleed
Watch as it runs down my leg to the feet
At any time now this blood red sea will soak you and drown you
I hope you can swim for there is no ship or rescue team to save you from you
Just understand where we stand
This corrupts your plan to be fair and a friend
Wake up
Morning
Shower
Start again
Do this alone
Alone I miss my friends
Don't you miss your home?
The home is where the heart is
In the night I had a dream.
And in it you stood tall
So save you from you
Remember that we miss you and don't forget the sources of your smile

And so I said "What am I to you?
Do you need to think this through?"
I'm impatient and you know me
I'll be your sun and moon
I'll be your smile room from a long hard day at what you do
When everything we said we said was nothing that we did
But everything we meant to do we're through
When it's over the heart stops beating
But it isn't over
You're really never considered a friend
Until you roll me over and I stop breathing
And you take back everything that you said To you I'm in your bones
I have your back if you're ever alone
With a knife stuck in it this blood's for you
To me this is love
The only kind that can hang on a rope from above on your ceiling
I want to take back everything that we did
And everything we meant to do until it hurts you
Or could we pretend for one second that we're still friends
Does that even phase you? Does it hurt you? With this mess that you've gotten
yourself into there's only room for two
You could close up the tube that leads into my lungs
That could clean up this mess for you
If I stopped breathing and you start feeling would you be there?
Would you understand?
Would you see me when I am healing?
From this ceiling I could corrupt your plan
It feels so comfortable
Your rope around my throat
From this angle you look so beautiful
Tie the perfect knot
Make it fit just like a glove
To me this is love

Another night alone on a dark road
Somewhere far away from my home
The summer's on my mind so far behind
Face in a sink reflects these caffienated insides
It's life scenarios you think of while you're alone and on my own
Like if my parents paid for everything I own
I could be somewhere in a classroom
Taking notes of things that I already know (or think I do...)
What doesn't kill you makes you grow
This nine to five turns into twenty four hours
It seems that sweet escape from this cold dark prison is a dream
My priorities forgotten
Stuck in a cycle on your knees
I deliver in spite to my friends and my enemies
Some days I stay and lie awake in bed
Just to breathe my quickened heartbeat
I hear noises overhead
This face isn't strong enough to slee
I have a dream that I can sleep on my own
These days my pale reflection can't pretend that this is all I have to offer
I hear noises overhead but this throat Isn't strong enough to scream
So it seems,'cause now I scream on my own
This cup of coffee burning my insides
And sip after sip I grow and come to realize that this is moving on

I don't understand why anyone would do this
Not only kill another but help them build excuses
More police control more oppression of our rights
A call to arms a reason to fight
Power to repress,to kill without evidence
Supported by the public via mind control in the press
Keep your eyes open wide
When truth speaks there's nothing to hide
Inside
Believe what papers say
Go on about your day no matter what they say to us
It's going on: World War III mass destruction
Take care where you stand
Take care who you kill
It's you who is inciting fear to abide
If I keep this locked inside
In my country I confide
No way that he can hide from us on this crusade
It's been played and I don't want to fight
Retract your rage
Act your age
No war we wage is worth it
Television station reaches more than we can teach
Domestic deception
In this 'operation' try to practice what you preach
We say this but we sit still
Watching it burn right before our eyes
Silence is bliss

Now that you've earned yourself a melody
I'll sing it out in stereo so you can hear it better
How far will you go to be so fresh and cold?
I heard you were dramatic well I can add to this
Here goes nothing
Remember what you said about our friendship?
"It isn't just a friendship
This means we're friends 'till the end"
See the end was months ago
I wish I could have been there
I like to tell myself that
You know I'm not afraid of reality
Because I breathe it every day
It's not a movie
These bones are not afraid to be broken for my friends
Because I care about them without limits or ends
With that said you're in a rush I can see this
Well you can run I will crawl
I thought I'd seen it all
Will it be there when you fall?
Because this filter is the last one of them all
And this fall I'm realizing I'm not so tall
After the dust has settled
After the blood of friendship has been shed
I'm gonna rise up like an elevator
Take this from my heart and bury deep
inside your head

So pucker up and kiss the ass that you would kill to kick
Because I hate to see you suffer
But it's the toughest of it that keeps my bones thick
I wonder what it takes to be a man
I take a look at my reflection
And then I look at you
I still don't understand
Suck it up and chill
The beat goes on and on my friend
I know reality is a bitch but buddy
Where were you when she needed you then?
Do I even have to say?
Considering everything that you said but not once to me
If we're taking this to war
I sing a song of battle
I can feel it in my throat
But buddy I'm not wasting all my time
Until then we've got a score to settle
Every promise that you broke will be the words you choke on
If you grow up
I'll watch my back if you watch where you spit
I'm the king of confrontation
ut something tells me that you're just not worth it
So laugh it off or take your shot
The cuts can hurt so bad
I'm giving this the best I got
'Cause this is the best I've ever had...
If anything should happen there's something you don't want to witness
This is passion
This is my gut reaction
If anything should happen son it's on
Don't you forget this
It's over
Watch your winter turn colder
It's over and your December is that much colder

Tonight I feel so loved and cherished and special
It hurts to think I'm in love with this confidence
This is bad enough but so far from the worst
We've got tonight
There's forces to defeat
This is the night that we are reclaiming the throne
In the name of patience persistence and passion from now on
Masters of this home
Tonight we take back the throne
It's a thing that we promise so throw it into the air and let it go
'Cause you're better off to know than to never know
So watch me go
Let this be my will and testament and these words my epitaph
This stage my home
Fucking taste it and savour it
This transfer my insides to your bones
You feel it
Into the temples and down to the toes
This is for every heart we broke
This is for every skull that we smashed in
This is for every floor we soaked
This is for blood for sweat and for passion
It's a thing that we breathe
It's a thing that we promise
It's a thing that you seek
Come to think of it to be honest to be honest it's a thing that you need
But it's a think that you'll never ever know
You should have listened when we said so
I'd say it but my heart's in my throat
So kiss like you mean it
Hold me tight like you care and don't let go
These are the things that you never know unless you go for them
I think I'm in love

A new day
A new found fire burns inside me
Looking up at twenty years that came before me
Careless cornered looking out
Then it hit me times are changing
Life is ordinary here
Forget our homes let's leave today
I'm not so bored
With one more chord behind me things will work out fine
The filtered friends
The fake pretending's over left me just in time
Then she tells me that together there is nothing we can fear
Forget our homes let's leave today

We said we meant business
And you saw it first hand
The evidence sleeps in ditches
And it's caked on our hands
The doctor
The broken necks
The archer stands atop the architect
And breathes through one last cigarette
He says "Though these weren't the best of times
We made the best of it and tonight we're fingerpainting everything red"
How quickly we forget where we came from
It's sickening
He better not forget where those stains came from
He says "I remember but these won't get the best of me
This is nothing new to me
We're so strong enough to show them that these are just the moments when friends
turn foes
Enemies just cast you off and watch you float away
Go to the house of the actor's
We'll drink that blood and celebrate after we break down that door
Settling the score with a pain that has never been inflicted before"
Those times were too much for me
My heart is so stuck in my throat
That my tongue is on my sleeve again
I've stepped on so many toes that I cannot keep track of them all
The heart is like a hand grenade
We waited so patiently
Long enough to show them that these are just the moments when friends turn foes
Our enemies will laugh it off and let it go
We write it off as history
But we cannot forget this and you cannot dismiss this
So savour it whole
Don't question it
The best of times is just two steps away
We're finger painting everything red

It seems off time again
I'll let the tapes sync up
Quick, the walls are caving in
I'll show you here what I mean with all that's done
Before the humour met my hurt side
When four best friends collide the heart is where you go
How was I supposed to know that you couldn't let this go?
It seems so separated
But this came together
Like a wound into the flesh
It means this is everything
To measure up the rock to my heart
It's percent of me
Well it's 150 and that's the way it will be
How was I supposed to know
That you couldn't let this go when we said so?
You can't fake this heart
It's not the same to you
I'm not in debt to any heart except my own
This is my medicine my effort my home
I'm not in debt to anyone except myself
This is my happiness my sickness my health
