MAYLENE AND THE SONS OF DISASTER LYRICS

1. Memories Of The Grove

Time was a drifter, almost tasted the wrath.
Bitter so easy undiscovered.
Stranded and I'm frightened to step out
Change moving my way, I won't let it take me
I feel I'm spinning.
just wanted something to believe under it all
Imagination is reality.
Too much to quick so I back up and tell you this.
This is feeling hopeless at it's finest.
Just wanted to believe. It's somewhere I'd rather be.

I thought we'd make it to the end.
Brick Walker don't leave me stranded.

I think they might take it all away.
Glance through a crack
It seems the scavengers are asleep.
Thank God grace has come my way.
Tomorrow hope awaits living closer to the end.

I thought we'd make it to the end.
Brick Walker don't leave me stranded.

2. Dry The River

Saw my life flash before my eyes.
I've kissed the dark horse.
Random lines not sure if they came out right.
This is going so wrong
But you just can't stop laughing when you feel the fall
So head on down my world is ending

I'll take back everything if you'll stay by my side
Cause I'm told the river went dry
Believe me when I say that you'll see greater days
I didn't want to leave

Listen close to the other side
Like a storm on a summer's night
What's more to hate the thoughts or the mind?
This moments taking me. I'm falling... Fallen

I'll take back everything if you'll stay by my side
Cause I'm told the river went dry
Believe me when I say that you'll see greater days
I didn't want to leave

Been uneasy so long I feel we're not alone
Someone needs to speak to you it feels they're inside me
Writing from the lost 30's
Take caution if you chose to read
These are not my beliefs
Writing from the lost 30's... We're not alone

I'll take back everything if you'll stay by my side
Cause I'm told the river went dry
Believe me when I say that you'll see greater days
I didn't want to leave

3. Plenty Strong And Plenty Wrong

Coming back after a long time gone.
I'm just another walking dead.
Deadlines tell me to write
and it feels so cold at home.
Everyone has learned to live without me

I'm feeling second place
This hole is right where it needs to be
It's not a static pace
Just a little kink in the year...

This isn't what I expected always letting you down
I can't remember that wrong turn
Try not to feel it, cause I know I'm your mistake
Those excuses are hiding us.

I'm feeling second place
This hole is right where it needs to be
It's not a static pace
Just a little kink, just a little kink

Don't bother askin' where I've been,
Or expect me to go back again
Those memories never were...

I'm feeling second place
This hole is right where it needs to be
It's not a static pace
Just a little kink, just a little kink

4. Darkest Of Kin

All of you go about your day,
never truly living
Walking so close to death lets me know what it means to be alive.
It's where I find my high
Terror like this world has never seen
Look in my eyes, see what I've done
Always on the move, hell comes along.

STAND UP, FISTS OUT - I WOULDN'T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY!
STAND UP, FISTS OUT - THIS IS THE REAL THING!

Been to the midwestern lights, fed on the fear in her eyes.
Family's begging for their lives but, giving in's no trait or mine.
Hit your knees and pray, pray you never see this face
I've been called the hypocrite to bring down

STAND UP, FISTS OUT - THIS IS THE REAL THING!
STAND UP, FISTS OUT - I WOULDN'T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY!

Baby I'm bad, I'm the fear in your eyes.
That hate in your heart has been branded with my name

You oughta been warned
Not to cross the tracks to my side of town
Dark clouds will follow
GOD MAKE ME PAY LIKE THE DEVIL I AM

5. Raised By The Tide

I feel change don't know if it's them or me.
Hard going from a stanger to an old face that's just out of place.
I feel stuck on fast-forward, and I'm passing the best parts all too fast.
Locked in this movement, I pray the sky comes to life.

Way out in the cold west
But I'm soaring home to Alabam.
These states have taken me
But not for better things.

I've covered this country far and wide
BUT I'LL ALWAYS BE A SON OF THE SOUTH
I'll fight to the death to make our name proud.
Cause I ain't got nothin' to lose!
Feelin' stuck on fast forward, and I'm passing the best parts all to fast.

Out in the cold west
But I'm soaring home to Alabam.
These states have taken me
But not for better things.

These miles have got me thinkin' about missin' home and all.
I'm just laying here restless...
But there is no reason for me to be hangin' my head.

We can't help but be blessed
When you've been raised by God's Finest.

Way out in the cold west
But I'm soaring home to Alabam.
These states have taken me
But not for better things.

6. Wylie

I feel like hell, I've caught the sickness once again.
And I don't feel right!
I ain't gettin' up. Think I'm slippin' away.

I want to soar like the prophets before
Addicted to the turbulence.
Sucked in under false pretense
I wanna say what needs to be said.
Addicted to the turbulence, feel the past come rushing in.

These palms don't lie I can't focus, when the statics on
Routines I hide don't mind killing this secrets mine.

I want to soar like the prophets before
Addicted to the turbulence.
Sucked in under false pretense
I wanna say what needs to be said.
Addicted to the turbulence, feel the past come rushing in.

Got to stop myself I can't take this!
When I fall the clouds won't cradle.
Oh how tempting they are, make you feel like you have it all.
DRIVE ME MAD A FULL ON RAMPAGE!
THE OLDER I AM THE LESS FEELING I HAVE!
Without the gospel losing the truth. I'm losing the truth.

7. Death Is An Alcoholic

Pacing back and forth it's shut. But I keep making sure.
Put the hurt at some ease
Keep thinking how we've helped each other lose our face.
It's closer than you think.

Empty moving, place to place
Broken on the inside is my purpose in life.

I'm heading home alone. Living out this call.
Don't give up your stronger than you look
Just know I've loved you both.

When you fall apart you tend to change.
I won't be breathing for too long.
There's more to me than this moment, I do believe.
There's more to me than this moment, feeling more than I can see.

Empty moving, place to place
Broken on the inside is my purpose in life.

I'm heading home alone. Living out this call.
Don't give up your stronger than you look
Just know I've loved you both.

And keep holding on, even after I'm gone.
In this you can always find me, always find me.
You're stronger than you look.
Believe that things are getting better.
All these things are getting better
You're stronger than you look.

8. Everyone Needs A Hasting

Put a notch on this belt when I leave a toll is taken
My head is traveling way too fast.
I gotta slow down for the sake of overlooking
The silent rituals need to be caressed
let me stay here and hide my eyes from the bitter world.
LORD KNOWS I'M NOT READY TO SHINE.
Let me stay here and save my breath for the coming flood.
The clocks ticking wearing out the time.

So obsess a little, it's coming fast.
You better hope that you're ready.
So obsess a little, cause when it's passed

I plan to be left standing.
Let me at the cruel outside chances are turning over.
The vessel is on it's way.

My wrist won't talk, I know I've tried.
LET THE MOVEMENT TAKE YOU BY THE HEART.
The closer I get, the louder the lifeline.
LET THE MOVEMENT TAKE YOU BY THE HEART.
The closer I get, the calmer inside.

9. Don't Ever Cross A Trowel

I'm sick of standing still.
Searching for answers to random things.

So I draw a conclusion:
I'll never stop believing, but today I'll stop the pleasing.
Lay it all down and the judging will come.
To people like you we'll never be good enough
MOMMA DIDN'T RAISE NO FOOL.

Steady Steady and I move
Cause you know Momma didn't raise no fool!
Please tell me again why you seem familiar?
I've seen your likes before hangin' round these junctions.
That's where the good Lord reigns, and he ain't going no where.
Momma didn't raise no fool. Steady Steady and I move.
Searching for answers, to random things.

So I draw a conclusion:
My mind has fallen far from the tree.
Lay it all down, and the judging will come for people like you.
Cause you know Momma didn't raise no fool!
Come on now!

10. Tales Of The Runaways

I remember that winter all to well.
We controlled our destiny, but in a moment
HELL RAINED DOWN ON OUR PARADE
AND MA WAS THE LAST ONE TO THE GRAVE
Planned our future never thinking anything could go wrong.
But the World stop spinning today.

Legends are made in shallow graves
Raised to meet disaster's embrace
Justice has it's place for Ma, the boys and me
The prime example of a dying breed.

Our mother never meant this place.
Raised to make the papers someday.
Life here was cold and hard
PLANNED OUR FUTURE NEVER SEEING
ALL THE HELL THAT WAS TO COME
I wouldn't want to be remembered any other way.

Legends are made in shallow graves
Raised to meet disaster's embrace
Justice has it's place for Ma, the boys and me
The prime example of a dying breed.

no time for goodbyes, it happened so fast.
Be assured we'll carry on....

Legends are made in shallow graves
Raised to meet disaster's embrace
Justice has it's place for Ma, the boys and me
The prime example of a dying breed.

11. The Day Hell Broke Loose At Sicard Hollow

It was so cold which was unusual for this time of year.
We had been camped out here for sometime now.
The woods always bring out a sense of peace, but that was soon to change.

They took us by surprise. With sleep in our eyes, hell broke loose.

There were shots going off like it was the fourth of July. This wasn't the law.
Just some wanna be heroes who got tired of our ways, and got their chance at fame.
How they found us out here was a thought that doesn't really matter now.
For the first time in my life that I could remember, it had come time for us to pay... and that we did.
It was like shooting fish in a barrel, and we sure didn't hear any angels singing.

We lived for the moment, and this was all happening way too fast, and way too soon.

There was no time for goodbyes. As hard as I've grown I'll miss 'em.
I've loved you all more than these weary hands could shot.
I wouldn't want to be buried any other way.
I am not sure if these writings will ever grace another's eyes
But if they do, be assured we will carry on.
This is the story of our Mother Maylene and us, her proud sons of disaster.
A LEGEND THAT WILL NEVER DIE.
