lyrics

I'd grown so tired of being scared all the time
so I poisoned my blood, I filled every line
in this ragged old notebook that's stained with the beers,
the stray fallen ashes, the hand prints and grime
the midnight confessions and crossed out lines
bout girls I had loved, in a town I despised
how the dark turns to light, the light just subsides
it's as old as the stars
it's as cold as the ice.

We hold in the smoke and we long for a time
When the sun didn't burn us, the water was fine
Where the angels and ghosts came alive in the night
and the future was nothing but lies
We hold back the tears and pretend we're alright
Cause the world doesn't stop, we've done lost that fight
With the scars from the years and the damage inside
Oh goodnight, I'm goin' out like a light.

MORTARS Tennessee

The part of the lake where all the trash washes up, the driveway at the house show when the AC is broken and it is too hot to play inside, the basement where you have to watch what you step on and the air feels real heavy. That is where we shine.
