welcome to the theatre that has no stage
should I have lied about my age
wasted youth, here to win a father's pride
careful, you might lose an eye
with every ounce of violent venom running through my veins
I will keep my fear held deep and boast until the grave
I may just be a braggart, or a crook
inspiration only works if they look
hide away in dreams of being first round through the breech
I am a one man siege
spike the guns, the weary and the worn will rest for years
there's no cure for ringing ears
with every ounce of violent venom running through my veins
I will keep my fear held deep and boast until the grave
I may just be a braggart, or a crook
inspiration only works if they look
weave yourself a tapestry to show how all that's yours to do is mine
take up your fallen brother's boots, they will serve you just fine
use your head,butt not like that
interject your skull with a sickening crack
with every ounce of violent venom running through my veins
I will keep my fear held deep and boast until the grave
I may just be a braggart, or a crook
inspiration only works if they look

third set of souls worn through this winter
can't see my feet for the blisters
is there no more that I can offer
for in this offal I am mired all for what
all for what
I am naught but a pair of boots
and a weapon I hold like a lover
if you will stay with me
then you will be my brother
another fortnight at attention
leaving every wound and bruise unmentioned
by now I've soaked right through the bandage
and I am not sure how much longer I can manage now
let me out
I am naught but a pair of boots
and a weapon I hold like a lover
if you will stay with me
then you, you will be my brother
I will not have been in vain
I will not be silenced by my pain
I will not have been in vain
I will not be silenced by my pain

I can still feel where your hand
once alighted on my wrist
and I am still healed by every constellation
drawn with every kiss
catching sight
or sound or smell or melody
in everything I write
of everything you taught me
all this rain still hasn't cleaned you off this street
and all this pain will never set anyone free
I have been left with cracks on every bone inside of me
but I don't need your song to sleep
I concede that there is still a tether
not a flame, just a feather
I will not plead, already did by pen and ink
we've had our time to think
gather fiends
we let them in between our teeth
it's obscene
I let you be my enemy
all this rain still hasn't cleaned you off this street
and all this pain will never set anyone free
I have been left with cracks on every bone inside of me
but I don't need your
help

Rebuild

if you permit, we'll clear the sirens from your mind
if you allow, we'll tell you of the solace you can find
tempting as it is to hide your injuries away
do not conceal just how low you've been laid
have you been split into your disparate parts
have you been screwed directly through all of your harts
even as the air above your head fills with shrapnel
driving you into the ground
we will rebuild ourselves
we will rebuild ourselves
and we will rebuild this town
will you pitch in to clear the rubble from the streets
and get your neighbors back up onto their feet
we don't wish for death, to be buried for good
to be honest I can see why you would
now you persist in spite of peril fore and aft
the life that you lead is the legend you craft
even though supplies are low and chaos surrounds you
grinding your sanity down
we will rebuild ourselves
we will rebuild ourselves
and we will rebuild this town
