BURDEN OF A DAY LYRICS

1. Blessed Be Our Ever After

Blessed be our ever after
Blessed be the ones who enter here
This is our prayer

2. Pt. 2 Sometimes They Do

At last the outlaw's dead
This is the first of our goodbyes
The bells they toll for me
My blood or his on this dirty street
My God my hands don't fail me now
The devil's tool to do God's will
The women cry the men are still
His silhouette up on the hill

Hush baby don't you cry for me
We men are the last of a dying breed
An empty flask, a cloud of dust
A muzzle flash, a crowd now hushed
BANG BANG he shot me dead
BANG BANG a bullet through his head
Oh no I killed my friend
Gun fight such a bitter end
Now dead man's hill
Claims two more souls tonight

At ten paces BANG BANG he shot me dead
At ten paces gun fights such a bitter end

Now the city sleeps tonight
I hear the widow's crying out
All alone in their beds
Oh no what have I done
Oh no what have I done
Three small simple words to say
Grown men are taught not to cry
But cowboys do have to die
Just one life to give
So that we both might live

3. Sorry Seacrest It's Casey's Countdown

We knew that this one is ours.
We came we saw we conquered
We knew that this one is yours
Close the doors and shut it down
We hope that this one will burn
Deep into the hearts that need it the most
Calm down and don't sweat it kid
Your heart is hard to hold when it's beating like it is
Bang the drum the saints go marching in

We are vagabonds
And we are not the ones to brandish our scars
And steal the light from your eyes
Take it in, Its not to much to see
The air is clean, wipe your tears away (away from your eyes)

You stand alone wont you sing along with me
Open my chest up, my heart beats for you
Give your pulse to me

One second more, the second hand is ticking down
We're running out, that bloody hand is killing time (Murder)
No you where meant to be, don't let this moment get you down
You are so much more then you ever thought you where
Replace the dark with light in your eyes

Sleepless nights in these cheap hotel's
Upside down in dirty cafe spoon's
This is all we know
Tracking time by passing exit signs
Double yellow paints the great divide
Vultures wait it's not our time to die (We have till twelve)
This moment's ours to stoke the vision burning in our hearts
Control the blaze would be a grave disservice, we will be heard
We stand together voice's strong, our message let it burn
If arson be the claim, I'll be the match you be the flame
Judge and jury hear them say (It's starts tonight)
You stand alone won't you sing along with me
Open up my chest up, my heart beats for you (Give your pulse to me)
Tracking time by passing exit signs
Double yellow paints the great divide
Vultures wait it's not our time to die (We have till twelve)

4. The Smile That Kills

I’m still so glad you’re here
Let’s make the most of the time we share
I’m still here
Dancing so long
Singing my song
Wearing so well
A smile that kills
The glamour that holds
My soul at will
Check me out
Mirror oh mirror on the wall
Who’s the fairest see them fall
Who’s the fairest of them all
The sick relation
Of what we’ve come to know
This congregation
Of our fine feathered souls (We’re gonna fly)
We have the comfort
We have the comfort of
We’re here today and gone tomorrow
It’s time to play so let it all go
So hold on tight
We’re in for the ride of your life
We’re gonna play it over and over again
We find ourselves here
So far from home
Our eyes have tall tails
Dark lines have shown us
So turn your eyes dear
Don’t watch my heart fade
Just dim the house lights
And like we all have said
It was worth all the while
The sick relation
Of what we’ve come to know
The congregation
Of our fine feathered souls (We’re gonna fly)
We have the comfort
We have the comfort of
We’re here today and gone tomorrow
It’s time to play so let it all go
So hold on tight
We’re in for the ride of your life
We’re gonna play it over and over again
Your place is here in our hearts

5. It's Lonely At The Top (Or So I've Heard)

The chips are down
And we are drowning in the flood
It's such a cruel mistress
A bitter taste tonight
Amidst the rising tide of good tries
The goodbyes make the ride home
On the wrong road
Seem Oh so trite

The seatbelt is keeping me trapped
The art form of not holding back

It's arduous this glamorous life
It's arduous don't stop now
This is not a cautionary tale
The fuse is lit so run for help
Thirty minutes will burn faster than incinderary bomb's (Whoa oh oh)
In standing here we learn to fall
In holding tight we lost it all
In thirty minutes we believe
We're gonna chase this falling star (Whoa oh oh)
Thank you for coming here tonight
I see the wonder in your eyes
Don't let me steer you wrong
I wrote this down to tear you up

This is our labor, this is our labor of love to you, love to you
I'd rather bleed than live to see the day the song died out

6. My Shelter

Go to a safe place
Escape the same fate
Go to a safe place
So you can save face
They stole your halo
Under painted skies
And like an angel
With the devil in their eyes
This city loves you
Why did you have to go
This city loves you
What happened here
We’ll never know
To kill the monster
That has never shown it’s face
This ghost that haunts you
Left an imprint that you can’t erase
Hit the lights and lock the doors
Under blankets we’ll stay warm
Hit the lights we’ll brave the storm
And bleed forgiveness till its gone
Be still stay low
I know we’ll make it out
Be still and know
That God knows your worth dying for
Burning questions without an answer
God still knows your here

7. Battle For Hoth

Come blue dark sky please take to me
Outside my window sill
For I have wandered aimlessly
The sky is gated
I've lost the key
I need the sound of your voice
Remind me of my dreams
My shadows playing tricks again
Dancing on the walls
If only I could believe tall tales
The pixie dust would fall

The dust would fall
The dust would settle, settle
The dust would settle, settle
Settle, settle

You took the stairs
And missed the fall
You took the stairs
And missed the fall
To play it safe or risk it all

You live your life in the darkroom
With photos of your friends
Unable to step outside
Afraid the anvil's gonna fall
Save yourself
The pain of loss
No broken bones
But no twinkle in her eye

These sticks still burn
They burn like home
These sticks still burn
They burn like home

This is forever and a day
I feel like I will be okay
This is forever but today
I feel like I could be a kid again.

Raise your hands up to the sky
The expression on your face
This moment in time
Feels like forever and a day

This could be so much more than it ever was
So much more than it ever was
So much more than it ever was
So much more

Would you please step up to the edge
Close your eyes and just let go
You said it couldn't be done
I said it'd never been done
Put your faith in me
I promise you just one thing
I'll never let you
I'll never let you go
I'll never let you
I'll never let you go

Because we are the lost boys
Forever in Neverland
Would you be our leader, be our leader
And take me by the hand?
[to fade]

8. Umbrellas

[Instrumental]

9. Monsters Among Us

Ring the bells and kick the doors down
Because this is what you wanted
And this is what you’re gonna get
So we have made a monster
Well so be it, so be it
Light the torches and bring a pitch fork
The lightning has already struck
It’s alive
Burn the village down
We will dance in ashes
Please forgive us our misconception
We’re burning hot
With the thought of something weird going down
You’re standing out
You’re out of place out of line
Get back in line
With one wary eye
And a corset for vigilante recourse down the line
So it’s alive
It’s best for all
If t stay in that house upon the hill
Give up the monster
Bring us the monster
Is it the unknown that haunts you
Or the lightning that flows through my veins
Am I the monster
Or am I just misunderstood
I fell the sun on my face
Is that the air I can taste
My beginnings I can’t erase
But I’m alive, I am alive
Here’s a toast for the lost cause
We will bring the giant down
Give us the monster
Bring us the monster

10. White Coats And Their Medicine

Heart stops when in love
Time slows down
When you’re young at heart
Your tragic love was lost
And now your eyes start to fade
“Now it’s over”, but it’s just begun
The chapters ended
But the book has not been read
The story starts when you can
I’m calling out to you
Can you hear me
Just believe
See the lights they will never fade
Heart stops when in love
Time slows down
When you’re young at heart
Keep pushing further
Keep pushing further and further

11. I'm Only Laughing On The Outside

To see elation
Spread across your timeless face
Be proud of me
Proud of what I tried to become
Regardless of our heavy hearts
We’ll carry on we’ll carry on
Regardless of our anxious thoughts
On how we think it might all end
The land is dead
Our backs are bent
Our eyes have turned from gray to red
Still the villages are crying out
What do they have to sing about
Are you gonna be with me
I can hear them singing through the night
Don’t be dancing with the devil
In the pale moonlight
I can see the towns from way up here
The little lights are burning brightly
And getting stronger
The children singing made up songs
But they sound so familiar
The son’s so familiar
How long must we wait
How great thou art
We’ve been looking for connection
Can we all break free from this
The situation the undercurrent
Stop pulling me further and further away
God will not be called dead
He will show himself strong
In due time
