EVERGREEN TERRACE LYRICS

1. Dogfight

Bring your words to the river
Throw yourself in
There will be no tomorrow
This will be
The end of your poison
From the tip of your tongue
Drowning in the river
You will be
Done with all your lies [x2]

[Chorus]
I want to believe
I want to believe you
I want to believe you,
But I'm letting go.
(Letting go.)

Running your mouth
Only vilifies
Rotting away
Decay will satisfy
Rot away
Rot away.

I want you dead [x4]
We want you dead [x4]

[Chorus x2]

2. Give 'Em The Sleeper

What would you say if receptors quit recieving?
Or if everything you believe, you quit believing?
What would you hold if you fell into the night,
And all the moments of your life flashed before your eyes?

What will save you now?
What grace will you find?
What a wasted life,
Too quick for closed minds
One more pointless breath
As you sail into the night
Take the pain with stride
As we say goodbye

Too quick for closed minds
Just wasting all of your life
Searching for eternity
All you'll find is apathy

3. Brave Reality

See your faith
See the wind
Your sealed fate
It's happened again

[Chorus]
False convictions
Fake intentions
You still think that you get one more time around. [x2]

Sticking hard to your convictions
Convictions of nothing
Lying smiles to your self
Self diluted dreams
Smiling wide, head held high
This is how it seems
Step the plate, accept your fate
Brave reality.

[Chorus x3]

Wake up and choke.
Choke.
Wake up and choke.

4. New Friend Request

(Don't fade me out again.)

You'll never make it on your own. [x3]

[Chorus]
Don't fade me out again.
I'll still be on.
You'll never make it on your own. [x3]

You always take without giving
Always one step ahead
A sordid life that you're leading
Inside you know you're already dead.

Bleed us dry
One more time
Now you're gone.

[Chorus]

You always take without giving,
Always one step ahead [x2]

Bleed us dry
One more time [x2]
Now you're gone.

[Chorus]

Now you're gone. [x2]

Bleed us dry
One more time
Now you're gone.

[Chorus]

[Overdubbing of Chorus and "bleed us dry.."]

5. Gerald Did What

Eighty-six on dreams
I'm still standing
Screaming in this room
Tonight
All out of dreams
I'm still holding
Onto this scene
Tonight

And it's all over now
Gagging on the scene [x2]

[Overdubbing of Gagging... and Eighty-six On My Dreams]

6. I Can See My House From Here

Sincerity
You finest act
Preying on
The hopes we had

Broken hearts
Broken homes
Broken feet
Broken toes
We're still crawling
On our knees
Towards our life
Towards our dreams

Disguise yourself
With your words
Crushing smiles
We once had

[Chorus]
We've broken down
We've broken out
But you will never follow
You've watched us drown
You've pushed us out
But we will never follow [x2]

But we will never follow.

We will never follow. [x4]

[Chorus]

We've broken down
We've broken out
But we will never follow. [x2]

But we will never follow.
We will never follow. [x4]

7. The Thunder

[Chorus]
Staring back your disposition
Will be the end of you
Laying out this one condition
You're going nowhere [x2]

Break your teeth and pour out the lies
They keep on coming, I don't know why
You'll never get it til you're alone
On an island skipping stones

Staring back
Staring back to nothing [x2]

[Chorus x2]

You're going nowhere. [x2]

Staring back.
You're nothing. [x7]

Staring back. [x2]

8. I Say You He Dead

Blood still flows from an open wound
(In a room) one heart beats where there were two
The killer had a knife and golden blonde hair
Her eyes, black and blue, they had been that way for years
She planned her escape once the beatings begun
But she did not know to use a knife or a gun
Alone again, and a fist to her face
He turned his back.... she attacked.

One to the back
(And) three to the heart [x4]

(After cleaning her blood stained hands,) she got into her car and drove to Mexico.

9. The Smell Of Summer

Waking up to
The smell of summer
Though it's late fall
We arrived in the morning
After the blood
Had stained the floor

We waited for hours
We had lost it all

The test had shown
What I already knew
What I already knew
Death had come (for a visit)
Late last night
Late last night

Where are all the answers
When everything is wrong?
Everything is gone!
No one has the answers
When everything is gone
Everything is gone...

I hate
The smell of summer
Though it's late fall
We leave
As the sun sets
The car is hot, but I am cold.

I hate
The smell of summer
The smell of summer
The smell of summer

The test had shown
What I already knew
What I already knew
Death had come (for a visit)
Late last night
Late last night

Where are all the answers
When everything is wrong?
Everything is gone!
No one has the answers
When everything is gone
When everything is gone.

[Repeat to fade with overdub of "When everything is wrong" [x2], When everything is gone" [x2]]

10. Tonight Is The Night We Ride

We built this life
We love this ride
Leave a stranger's house
Drive through the day
South-bound 95
More broke than we came

Four more shots to the gut
Let it burn
Until we see the sun
Let it burn

[Chorus]
Any given night
Crossing another state line
We know we can never die [x2]

Rolling too deep
(But) living, never gonna die

Riding to another town
We're showing up for another round

[Chorus x4]

11. Untitled

You say everything comes
If you don't turn your back
And I wait everyday
Sometimes this patience I lack
Because it's just

More of the same
More of the same
And I just need you
To remember my name
More of the same
More of the same
And I just need you.

It takes all of me
To keep my eyes off of the floor
And this makes tomorrow seem
Harder than ever before
Because it's just

More of the same
More of the same
And I just need you
To remember my name
More of the same
More of the same
And I just need you
To remember my

Why does this seem to be
Right in front of me
Intangible dreams we pursue
Why it's so hard to see
Is eluding me
I can't believe that it's true

More of the same
More of the same
And I just need you
To remember my name
More of the same
More of the same
And I just need you.
