Sparta (Doric Σπάρτα; Attic Σπάρτη Spartē), or Lacedaemon, was a prominent city-state in ancient Greece, situated on the banks of the River Eurotas in Laconia, in south-eastern Peloponnese. It emerged as a political entity around the 10th century BC, when the invading Dorians subjugated the local, non-Dorian population. From c. 650 BC it rose to become the dominant military land-power in ancient Greece.
Given its military pre-eminence, Sparta was recognized as the overall leader of the combined Greek forces during the Greco-Persian Wars. Between 431 and 404 BC, Sparta was the principal enemy of Athens during the Peloponnesian War, from which it emerged victorious, though at great cost. Sparta's defeat by Thebes in the Battle of Leuctra in 371 BC ended Sparta's prominent role in Greece. However, it maintained its political independence until the Roman conquest of Greece in 146 BC.
Sparta was unique in ancient Greece for its social system and constitution, which completely focused on military training and excellence. Its inhabitants were classified as Spartiates (Spartan citizens, who enjoyed full rights), Mothakes (non-Spartan free men raised as Spartans), Perioikoi (freedmen), and Helots (state-owned serfs, enslaved non-Spartan local population). Spartiates underwent the rigorous agoge training and education regimen, and Spartan phalanges were widely considered to be among the best in battle. Spartan women enjoyed considerably more rights and equality to men than elsewhere in the classical world.

The host of the show came down
Collapsed to the ground
And the crime scene revisits me
This body shutdown in boredom
And the gofer put home
On the balcony I sit and sleep
The future has fallen short
When the sun sets North
And the clouds fall from mirrored walls
Words speak and choose
Make sense and knows
Capsized in tongue or tail but always frail
Alone, it could be alright
I'll make it alright
Have to get by
Have to get by on my own
Today. I found this moment
Leaned in and stole it
And this is the start
This is the start of it all
I was born into this world
I've done all I was told
But oh, I did it too slow
I walked the straightest line
I finished it all in time
But oh, it's not enough for you
I'll steal your cries
I'll take your life and run it all around
I'll bleed your lies
I'll take your life and run it all around
Time wore down this passion
Force fed, but total lack of love
It wasn't enough
I lost my head at the thought of losing
Fell apart when it came to choosing you
Did you listen to his stories?
He had some stories that would change your life
This doesn't have to be the saddest day
For we can always hold the brilliant memories
You're always on my, always on my mind
Turned from tragedy
A source to draw from a bloodline legacy
You showed me more than just these railways
It was your passion and I learned that well
You gave me more in life than anyone deserves
And forever I'll keep your bloodline legacy
And you're always on my, always on my mind
Turned from tragedy
A source to draw from
And you're always on my mind
Turned from tragedy
A source to draw from a bloodline legacy
This photograph, I'll carry to my grave
I never lost so much as I did that day
Turned from tragedy
A source to draw from a blood
And forever, yeah, yeah, forever
You're always on my, always on my mind
When you fail, you fall on
Your own
Let it slip away
When you land, you land on
Your own
Let it slip away
Realize you try to find something
A branch to hold onto
Make peace with your actions
In your last ditch attempt
Find your redemption
Make peace with your actions
When you feel, you feel all alone
Let it slip away
When you die, you die
on your own
Alone, it could be alright
I'll make it alright
Have to get by
Have to get by on my own
Today, I found this moment
Leaned in and stole it
And this is the start
This is the start of it all
I was born into this world
I've done all I was told
But oh, I did it too slow
I walked the straightest line
I finished it all in time
But oh, it's not enough for you
I'll steal your cries
I'll take your life and run it all aground
I'll bleed your lies
I'll take your life and run it all aground
Time wore down this passion
Force fed, but total lack of love
It wasn't enough
I lost my head at the thought of losing
Fell apart when it came to choosing you
Its time to get it right
Piece this together and it's always a fight
This puzzle's intact and you're always right
The sky could fall, the bliss of beginning replaced with an end
And the sky could fall, it's always, it's always the same
And it ends from a scream to a whisper
Can you free me from these words and let me forget?
And it ends from a scream to a whisper
Can you free me from this world and help me forget?
Tensioning trouble, we're condemned to repeat
From covered up lies, what is all out of reach
The sky could fall, this bliss of beginning replaced with an end
And the sky could fall, it's always, it's always the same
And it ends from a scream to a whisper
Can you free me from these words and let me forget?
And it ends from a scream to a whisper
Can you free me from this world and help me forget?
I can't be right this time, I can't be right this time
It's all in my head, all in my head
And you can't be wrong this time, you can't be wrong this time
It's all in your head, all in your head
And I can't be right this time, I can't be right this time
It's all in my head, all in my head
And you can't be wrong this time, you can't be wrong this time
It's all in your head, all in your head
And the sky could fall
And I can't be right this time, I can't be right this time
It's all in my head, all in my head
And you can't be wrong this time, you can't be wrong this time
It's all in your head, all in your head
And the sky could fall
And I can't be right this time, I can't be right this time
It's all in my head, all in my head
And the sky could fall and it's always, it's always the same
And you can't be wrong this time, you can't be wrong this time
It's all in your head, all in your head
I can't be right this time, I can't be right this time
It's all in my head, all in my head
And it ends from a scream to a whisper
Can you free me from these words and let me forget?
And the sky could fall and it's always, it's always the same
And it ends from a scream to a whisper
Can you free me from these words and let me forget?
And the sky could fall
I can't be right this time
And the sky could fall
You can't be wrong this time
Can you free me from this world and help me forget?
You can hold this moment
Catch your breath, you feel faint
Don't be afraid, the bed you made is
hard to take
You say it's never enough you've
got to look forward
With your hands out, reach for me
Life in this storm has lost you
Chasing the sun left you blind
It all washed away, the promises
that you were made
You say it's never enough
Crumbling around the freefall.
This missing are will forever make
your nerves crawl.
Crumbling.
We will assume the worst.
Incapsulation, fists clenching and falling.
Mistakes make it easy.
Incapsulation, eyes dry and vacant.
Mistakes make it easy.
Harmonic turbulence shakes.
Ties red booths to magazines.
Stand and clear.
Harmonic.
We will assume the worst.
Say no more.
We recall, it's all meaningless.
Green eyes blur, give in easier,
and make you blind.
Hope,
Is unborn memories.
Untreatable disease.
Broken ties are crashing in around me.
Home,
Is supposed to be safe.
If the future's on the take,
Then these plans can hardly count as fate.
And you,
You were right.
Hope,
Is a mortal enemy.
It's got me on my knees,
Bound and gagged and begging for mercy.
And home,
Is never far away.
At the bottom of a grave,
Left for dead and finally found it's place.
And you,
You were right.
You were right.
You were right.
Hope,
Is knowing this won't last,
That the memories will pass,
And the future is all you'll ever have.
Home,
Is destroyed by consequence.
A means to finally end.
Burn it out and let it live again.
Cause you,
You were right.
You were right.
You were right.
You were right,
You find your own way.
Left behind,
I'll follow someday.
You were right,
You find your own way.
Left behind,
I'll follow someday.
You were right.
You were right.
So set it right, find your backbone
And start a fight
I'll do what I can do
Oh, fall in line
Oh, I'll decide
Unstitch your mouth, close your
Eyes and scream out loud
I'll do what I can do
Oh, fall in line
Oh, I'll decide
You got to kill your doubt, tear
It open and burn it out
I'll do what I can do
Oh, fall in line
Oh, I'll decide
Step away from this, you can
Tolerate you can resist
This home, this place
It turns its back on time and space
We hope, you pray
But today is still today
Oh we ran ourselves, ragged
and all these broken backs, tragically
We tried, you failed
Another mark you left in hell
This cut, will run
But the guilt has just begun
Oh we ran ourselves, ragged
and all these broken backs, tragically
The future bleeds
All these wasted seeds
Don't let it go
We're taking back control (x2)
This hole, you told
Left blood on every door
We hope, you find
Tragedy will change your mind
Oh we ran ourselves, ragged
and all these broken backs, tragically
The future bleeds
All these wasted seeds
Don't let it go
We're taking back control (x2)
Take control
The future bleeds
All these wasted seeds
Don't let it go
[Instrumental]
Feeling tense, tired and spent
I lost my head, my sight, my nerve, life is changing
One foot can only outrun
The other one so many times, life is changing
So do what you will, tomorrow is today
We march as you run, we march as you run
Tomorrow is today
With a death in the family, with a death in the family
Blind faith revolutions
That I can watch but hate the sound, life is changing
I'd give up everything
To never live this year again, life is changing
So do what you will tomorrow is today
We march as you run, oh, we march as you run
Tomorrow is today
With a death in the family
I'm not sure I'll ever choose a side
Without a fence I wouldn't have a choice
I'll just close my eyes and barrel through again
And be glad I did, be glad I could
So do what you will, tomorrow is today
We march as you run, we march as you run
Tomorrow is today, it is today
Wake Up
Can You Hear Me?
You're so cleaver
Did you find me?
In the backroom
In your closet
In your suitcase
There's no running
I will find you
Like the glacier
Cuts the seabed, leaving Canyons
In your cheekbones
passing through you
in the shadows, scenes undo you
Cut Your Ribbon
As it follows you
Everything, Everything
how can you sleep at night
As it falls apart
everything, everything
how can you sleep at night
Face it
Can you hear it?
Violation, You'll remember
It's all harmless
incidental, disengaging
these thoughts break you
concious, vicious
it has found you
monovision, synapse fails you
frequent syndrome
stings and burns through
monovision, then dillutes you
This is your history
You made what you will be
Facts are of no concern
They upset your story
The past is what we learn
It upholds your glory
Revisionist history
Revisionist history
I want glaciers to scrape
I want to level this place
Everyone in it can go
The truth will tear this ground
Slowly melted down
Revisionist history
Revisionist history
I want glaciers to scrape
I want to level this place
Everyone in it can go
What you're taught
Free to forget
You're supposed to know
Learn on your own
It's exposed, end moraine
Funnel down, see with your own eyes
Simple talk, end moraine
Simple thought and total loyalty
The past is what we learn
It upholds your glory
Revisionist history
I want glaciers to scrape
I want to level this place
Everyone in it can go
They'll build armies
In excuse for explorers
Know with your own eyes
Feel with our own hands
They say it takes a ring of gold
to fix the outer shell
so hold on until they return
enslave the native tongue
to mine their freedom out
so hold on and don't give in
Our world is only what we're told
how do we know?
Life spans 1000 years have gone
but just a minute above
so hold on until they return
sheltered thoughts and fears
if they claim what's theirs
so hold on and don't give in
The plan is intact
From the front to the back
All that's left now, is waiting for you
So do what you can
For blood and for land
And it's alright
All that's left is execution now
Widows pray in the shadows of the south
For the moment to pass
Faith moves from the heart to the soul,
Overpowers, and loses all control
We're waiting for you
Come in, it's all within reach
And it's alright
Get on with it, it's falling at your feet
Beg your conscience but it's alright
Head down, get on with this life
Hold fast, find a place in time
For the moment to pass
Lit fuse, running out of air
False start, but momentum doesn't care
You put your fist in the ground
You went from quiet to loud
You found you're broken in half, today
You set a fire to forget
To burn up all your regret
But really, nothing has changed, today
You can't go on this way
You can't move on
Erase and start it again
Accidents happen
But these cuts don't scar
Erase and start it again
Mistakes dig in
And you've gone too far
You find you're living in fear
You've been dying for years
You hit the end of the road, today
Condemned but couldn't understand
You tried but pride held you back
Your eyes are open again, today
You can't go on this way
I don't snap on like you want me to
because it still hurts my eyes when they turn red
I sit down, rode all the way next to my heart
it beats to the time too close to your truth
Yeah the tarot broke, open the glasshouse
and this might just be the saddest day I've ever known
My arms are tied behind disease
I'll probably be gone the next time too
in a corner in a shadow I sit self-obsessesed
too busy, too important to say goodbye
This regret, it kills you'll never forget
So don't forget
In these times try to remember
The time will come
To use your voice and push your views
So don't forget
Sometime between now and never
The time will come
You bite your tongue, they'll bury you
And it seems far enough away
It's a callin' card, your expiration date
When that day comes
Be ready, be ready
To remember what had happened
And have the pride to back down
Let's not repeat and everyone can move on
But don't forget
Get ready, get ready
To remember what had happened
And have the pride to back down
So don't forget
In these times try to remember
The time will come
To use your voice and push your views
So don't forget
Sometime between now and never
The time will come
You bite your tongue, they'll bury you
And it seems far enough away
Scars are for a reason
Remind us of what happened
Stay away from harm
Be ready, be ready
We're tired of fiction and occupied stations
Your motives look like a portrait wealthy, burnin' wells
Get ready, get ready
We're tired of fiction and occupied stations
So don't forget
In these times try to remember
The time will come
To use your voice and push your views
So don't forget
Sometime between now and never
The time will come
You bite your tongue, they'll bury you
So don't forget
The time will come
So don't forget
The time will come
So don't forget
([Foreign Content])
So don't forget
([Foreign Content])
So don't
So don't forget
The time will come
And I'm not sure
What you'll be like, oh
What will your eyes say when I see them?
Wonder what you'll grow up to see
So don't forget
Your time will come
And I'm not sure
What you'll be like
If we have torn the map to pieces
You'll find your way back
'Cause home is where you believe
What will your eyes say when I see them?
It's so early in our lives
For such a waste of time
Such a waste of breath
An' we can shake our fists in vain
Scream an' lose our voice
It's our choice
Oh, this is forever
This ring will never leave this hand alone
An' I promise you
Oh, this is forever
This ring will never leave this hand again
An' I promise you
Hopefully life goes on
We'll meet up in the end
Worn out
We can sit and watch the world
Spinnin' on its point
Smile on it
Oh, this is forever
This ring will never leave this hand alone
An' I promise you
Oh, this is forever
This ring will never leave this hand again
An' I promise you
These situations come and go
I'll do my best, I'll do my best
We'll settle down and focus now
I'll do my best, I'll do my best
I keep forgettin' why we fought
We'll make amends somehow
Sittin' next to you
You know the honor would be mine
To share your arguments
For all of time
Oh, this is forever
This ring will never leave this hand alone
An' I promise you
Oh, this is forever
This ring will never leave this hand again
An' I promise you
These situations come and go
I'll do my best, I'll do my best
We'll settle down and focus now
I'll do my best, I'll do my best
We'll settle down and focus now
I'll do my best, I'll do my best
We'll settle down and focus now
At the bottom of the barrel
To great surprise, we found our lives, so intertwined
And when the moon lifts off
Yeah, we're side by side
If this is my alley my memorial park
And tie me to the last living tree
And shoot your life at me, shoot your life at me
Hold these, hold my memories
Don't let me forget these secret walkways
When the summer got sterile, with books and minds
We found this time, there's no compromise
And in the cannon's glow
Yeah, we're side by side
We'll head for a forest to a river of truth
There we'll take a stand, heads held high
Start this life again, yeah this life again
Hold these, hold my memories
Don't let me forget these secret walkways
Through these, through these memories
I've found my peace and welcomed yesterday
And when the moon lifts off
Yeah, we're side by side
Hold these, hold my memories
Don't let me forget these secret walkways
Through these, through these memories
I’m gonna make it up to you
So help me carry through
Moving back and forth
I’m taking back my youth
If you mind I don’t mind
If you mind I don’t mind
I will break these diamonds
Swallow your spine and
Fight them all
If you mind I don’t mind
If you mind I don’t mind
I will break this silence
Follow your words and
Fight them all
Come and face my crimes
I’ll let my mines appear
Disillusion is near
So now I lie to make it disappear
Standing on my feet
I will break these diamonds
Swallow your spine and
Fight them all
I will prove them wrong
And make it disappear
I’m gonna hate them like you would
Deceiving silent rules
Waited for so long
I want my time to fool
Cause I can make it on my own
And save my shaking throne
Moving back and forth
I’m taking back my youth
If you mind I don’t mind
If you mind I don’t mind
I will break these diamonds
Swallow your spine and
Fight them all
If you mind I don’t mind
If you mind I don’t mind
I will break these diamonds
Swallow your words and
Fight them all
Come and face my crimes
I’ll let my mines appear
Disillusion is near
So now I lie to make it disappear
Standing on my feet
I will break these diamonds
Swallow your spine and
Fight them all
I will prove them wrong
And make it disappear
Come and face my crimes
I’ll let my mines appear
Disillusion is near
So now I lie to make it disappear
Standing on my feet
I will break these diamonds
Swallow your words and
Fight them all
I will prove them wrong
And make it disappear
Arms open but I've just broken in
through a crack in a long division
can I make a decision, without confusion?
seemed something, but became nothing at all
what happened to the old and stable?
when the powers that be fail
and heads will roll
someday low notes fade away and go true and stale
somewhere words don't crater in at all
currents turn and green lights on my right
these miles hold and infinite time
long enough to remember
and regret precursors
ride turning, foundations shaking away
it's a matter of time and distance
and test opinions
that force a change
someday low notes fade away and go true and stale
somewhere words don't crater in at all
do you owe this? I am what you thought you were
can you pay it? what you've indebted
Apathy falls in the ocean
at least we went down fighting
at the bottom of the ocean
this scenery fails calm
up till now been riding fine
but the curving walls leave me behind
do you remember the days?
did you forget those days?
what would the oddsmakers say?
would the oddsmakers say?
We're drinking on jet streams
through to
ideas won't happen
laid out on benches
through to
sink for this reason
If you see through these motives
you'll please report your progress
to the captain, our captain
so he can mark the atlas
never considered this a prize
Don't make this fake
last second of life
faux obsolete
assemble the empire
Following fell on hard times
this one won't count
we won't count it at all
slow down
these factions cast a failure of crowns
benevolence forces itself
fallen from state
into the hands of the law
slow down
these factions cast a failure of crowns
Well i love this town like you do
We'll burn it to the ground
Pack your things and than you were gone
We'll call a new place home
Like you do
Like you do
Like you do
Like you do
And you'll never change
Well i got a feeling inside
It's gonna happen again
There's a fire deep in your eyes
That i've never seen before
Like you do
Like you do
Like you do
Like you do
And you'll never change
You'll never change
More than life
On a holiday slow motion sets its pace
And it makes me pray for Capricorns sweet face
Our lives get tangled up in progress falling short on life's test
When all that matters should be me and you
And you say, "It's not okay"
Despite our life you cannot stay
And you say you're not okay
Romance postmarked holiday
Well I can't explain how we made it this far
And you should know, only you control my heart
Feelings overshadow reason, blocks out everything
And all that matters should be me and you
And you say, "It's not okay"
Despite our life you cannot stay
And you say you're not okay
Romance postmarked holiday
I wouldn't trade what I got
Not for anything, not for anything
I wouldn't trade what I got
Not for anything, not for anything at all
And you say, "It's not okay"
Despite our life you cannot stay
And you say you're not okay
Romance postmarked holiday
Locked up in the distance
in the falter above us
as the contrails pass you spoke your mind
old photos distort you
and you're frowning a smile
as the misery makes us blind
stand down, fall apart and the trouble starts
yeah the trouble starts over again
in the scenes of this casting
where a tragedy follows
as the contrails pass this vacant sky
Disappear, Orlean
away from tarnished golden arsenals
you're laying down again
disappear, Orlean
because your swansong fell on fallen heads
you're laying down again
The host of the show comes down
to collapse on the ground
and the crime scene revisits me
this body shut down in Bordeaux
and the shores of gold coast on the balcony
I search for sleep
the future has fallen short
when the sun sets north
and the clouds fall from the mirrored walls
Words speak and choose
make sense and lose
capsize the tall tale, but always fail
words speak and choose, make sense and lose
forfeit the tall tale, I always will
The host had his mouth sewn shut
all in the name of trust
when the blood goes thin, he's given in
you can spare us the formal toast
the drunken anecdotes
from this day on... goes on and on...
You know when he falls apart
he listens in the dark to records turn
I'll never learn
To set it down
you'll set it down
All that you say is complimentary
Within these walls, where lies
are on display
If you hide the truth, then rest assured,
there's nothing left to say
there's nothing left to do
The difference between finding
what you love,
and loving what you've found
Is killing us right now
It will always be true, living as one,
beats dying as two
We both know this can't go on
Crawl back in place
I promise not to chase
I guess this time
I loved what I could taste
What the years have lost, is
what I've gained
There's nothing left to give
after everything I gave
Crawl back in place
I'm trying not to hate
I guess this time
It wakes me up and shakes my bones
It makes me miss my friends
You wasted days, I hung my head
I wore these blinders
So I'll hide from you, hide from you
You can hear the sound
Oh, when walls break down
You wasted my days
Building on shaky ground
You can't carry on
Oh, when walls break down
Such wasted days
Building on shaky ground
Sitting face to face, dead tides will rise
Our light is in your eyes
We will be heard, our voice is strong
You shamed yourself
And we're done with you, we're done with you
You can hear the sound
Oh, when walls break down
You wasted my days
Building on shaky ground
You can't carry on
Oh, when walls break down
Such wasted days
Building on shaky ground
This is your life, you led
This is my life, you bled
These tides sweep us out of reach
Well, these tides sweep us out of reach
You can hear the sound
Oh, when walls break down
You wasted my days
Building on shaky ground
You can't carry on
Oh, when walls break down
Such wasted days
And building on shaky ground
This is your life, you led
This is my life, you bled
These tides
Well, these tides sweep us out of reach
These tides sweep us out of reach
You,
rush up to the top
to find that you had lost
in my mind you're still in the heat
and you
are all I'll ever need
all I'll ever need
You,
left a heavy heart
you tried to pull apart
at some point
you'll have to make stand
and you
Are all I'll ever need
You're all I'll ever need
Rush by
hand in hand
fall from the sea to land
don't let the sun go down
run this light
run this light
You,
run out into the crowd
death without a sound
in this light you die
to struggle on
and you,
are all I'll ever need
Rush by
hand in hand
fall from the sea to land
don't let the sun go down
run this light
run this light
You're all I'll ever need
You're all I'll ever need
all I'll ever need
all I'll ever need
none of this will count
Grew up on a man made line
That's left me warm
Count your blessings
You're the lucky one
The view from this window
Is frail and brittle
And I've done nothing
To change anything
These hills in our hometown
Disguise the beaten down
I can't turn a blind eye anymore
I was raised in a certain way
And I think I've let you down
So I change my ways
And I'll find a brand new path
Let's crash these gates
And join this party
I wanna be welcomed
Not just tolerated
I'm watching my own eyes
Looking for truth
I started doubting
But fell into the pool
This resolution's firm
And panic sets in
In order to grow
You must be open to learn
I was raised in a certain way
And I think I've let you down
So I change my ways
And I'll find a brand new path, yeah
Brand new path
I was raised in a certain way
And I think I've let you down
So I change my ways
And I'll find a brand new path
Grew up on a man made line
That's left me empty
Count your blessings
You're the lucky one
I've seen these scenes
Haunt me in my dreams
I've just begun to question why
How could I forget
Imaginary splits?
Don't have a thing to do with life
I've seen these scenes
Haunt me in my dreams
I've just begun to question why
How could I forget
Imaginary splits?
Don't have a thing to do with life
I was raised in a certain way
And I think I've let you down
So I change my ways
And I'll find a brand new path, yeah
Brand new path
I was raised in a certain way
And I think I've let you down
So I change my ways
And I'll find a brand new path
So I change my ways
And I'll find a brand new path
So I change my ways
And I'll find a brand new path
Looking back with perfect symmetry
mistakes were you, mistakes were me
photos fall through the glass
paint it black to hide your face
static screams deaf the masses
but what do they have to say?
Fan the flames to the landslide
crown yourself in the wake
we play this disaster
fanfare, fanfare, liar
Concrete eyes and flash bang imagery
you're bored with home, you're bored with me
rings were thrown out the window
rolled down empty streets
walls will talk for the widow
but what does she have to say?
[Instrumental]
In the back of my mind a voice speaks
spells out the master plan
now I know
she swings with the ease of a hammer
from the truth down to the past
and I know
What's right, went wrong
from when it started
to this the finish
I'll try to find
a place in your new life...
To set the fire
and cover your tracks
Time will tell, the past laughs last
syllables will try and judge you
will pierce the anecdote
now I know
your plea is a case of reason
and this deletes your alibi
and I know
once tried, left wrong
from where it started, to here the finish
I'll try to find
a place in your new life
The traps have been set
Sometimes a struggle builds you somehow
Tears you down, leaves you dead
Time will pass, back to life
Hand on shoulders, bigger, better
Sunday night, tempers flair
Fights erupt and trickle down
Apologies, threats and lies
Backing down, compromise
While this city burns these wounds will heal
You'll find your way
Though lines in sand become a proving ground
In time, you'll find
Who can tell who is their life
Sometimes a struggle leaves you fragile
Shaken up, shotgun shy
With heartache past and open eyes
You'll come back stronger, bigger, better
Maybe this time, things will change
Brand new day, forgive, forget
Time has past, back to life
Hand on shoulders, bigger, better
While this city burns these wounds will heal
You'll find your way
Though lines in sand become a proving ground
In time, you'll find
Who can tell who is their life
Only you with time can define your life
Only you with time can define your life
Can define your life, it's yours
While this city burns these wounds will heal
You'll find your way
Though lines in sand become a proving ground
In time, you'll find
Who can tell who is their life
A struggle builds you somehow
Tears you down, leaves you dead
I'll qualify this circumstance,
broadcast, renew this chance.
Pin hope on this promise.
Graduate to this settled score.
projects through mansion doors.
Stand up, dust yourself off.
It's troubled now by swelling tide,
bleached hope and sandstone lies.
You're dazed in the moment.
This time I'll get it right.
You can't defend it, it's predetermined.
You know I'll sit at the bottom space,
trace lines in the vacant space.
It's all about to change.
Small flat in a smaller town,
steal hope to pass around.
You're caught up in the memory.
It gets lonliest at night
Down at the liquor store
Beneath the neon sky
Our moonlight
Six a.m. the floor comes alive with lice
The pan's dried up so tight
With hardened beans
We're hungry
So I lean on you sometimes
Just to see you're still there
Your feet can't take the weight of one
Much less two
We hit concrete
How were we born into this mess?
I know I painted you a prettier picture, baby
But we were run out on a rail
Fell from the wagon to the night train
I kissed the bottle
I should've been kissing you
You wake up to an empty night
With tears for two
Cigarettes they fill the gaps
In our empty days
In our broken teeth
We're jonesing
Say mister, can you spare a dime?
Some change could make a change
Could buy some time
Some freedom
Or an ear to hear my story
It's all I've got
My fiction beats the hell out of my truth
A palm upturned burnt blue
Don't call it sunburn
You've been shaking on the job
Just one drink ahead of your past
There's a white light coming up
You draw the blinds hoping it'll pass
I kissed the bottle
I should've been kissin you
You wake up to an empty night
A cabin built for families, not for one
These fills are solitary, lonely rivers run
Ocean crash duets with cars in canyon pass
Oh, the mountains, majestic force humility
This coffin's in my shadow, tied to me
There's questions I can't follow, colors I can't see
Days scream past, nights are long in city escape
From sunset to mourning mocks eternity
Falling, falling
This life is in splinters
And hands over eyes protect innocent blinding
Falling, falling
Balance in broken, a lifetime of choking
Leaves you blue
Leaves you blue
Leaves you blue
This isolation chamber, disguised but true
Enough to kill this stranger, nothing left to do
Freedom's lost it's clarity and breathing comes fast
This escape is essential to live another day
Falling, falling
This life is in splinters
And hands over eyes protect innocent blinding
Falling, falling
Balance in broken, a lifetime of choking
Leaves you blue
Leaves you blue
Leaves you blue
Falling, falling
This life is in splinters
And hands over eyes protect innocent blinding
Falling, falling
Balance in broken, a lifetime of choking
Leaves you blue
The balance in broken
Sails catch any wind that they can
Through any ocean to any land
There's no worries
Power carries no concern
Silhouetted by the fields as they burn
There's no worries
You're falling straight into our hands
No compromise,and no demands
You're falling straight into our hands
Into our hands,into our hands
Still water hides an undertow
You can't fight what you can't control
There's no worries
At the bottom you set it down
from the top I counted you out
cascading, the end draws near
these rail lines, drown in fear
in the dark days, hunger's free
illumination, end with greed
drag your feet, and strung along
fight back, until you're gone
This tunnel vision breaks my mind
dark days leave this world behind
humiliation takes it's toll
Sails catch any wind that they can
Through any ocean to any land
There's no worries
Power carries no concern
Silhouetted by the fields as they burn
There's no worries
You're falling straight into our hands
No compromise, and no demands
You're falling straight into our hands
Into our hands, into our hands
Still water hides an undertow
You can't fight what you can't control
From the top of buildings you'll shout
To the kids in the street below
And you'll know
She swings with the ease of a hammer
From the edge down to the ground
And you'll know
What's right what's wrong
And you know it
But you can't do it
Try hard to find
A way to move up in life
Set a fire to cover your path
And you should know
I get the last laugh
The tents will sigh
