MY TICKET HOME LYRICS

1. I'll See You On The Island

I have lied to you so many times, oh God.
But tonight, we're turning this around.
You’ve lived your life for nobody but yourself, blaming it on them.
Come on baby we’ll just make it through tonight,
don’t be afraid and just take my hand.
He understands.
And now the tide is pulling you under, as the water fills your lungs.
It’s hard to breathe when your body’s sinking.
I guess tonight we’re not going home.
Why can’t we see this?
Now, we go our separate ways.
To find this place, so far away.
I can't see through this lifeless fog.
It’s closing in on your heaven.
And now the tide is pulling you under, as the water fills your lungs.
It’s hard to breathe when your body’s sinking.
I guess tonight we’re not going home.

2. Barack, Paper, Scissors.

Awaken to the monsters growing near.
The drums of war thunder.
The darkened streets are all I can see.
Ravaging like wolves, crawling alone.
Running away, in fear of the sound.
The breaking of bones and gnashing of teeth.
Tied down by ropes, and the sky turns black.
And there's nothing left to salvage.
We stare as the buildings fall.
We stare as the buildings fall down.
We stare as they fall.
We can't go on like this.
We're just drowning alone, trapped in our armor.
We can't go on like this.
These caskets can't hold all, of our dead.
Quake in fear of the truth.
There's something here, a monster in the dark.

3. It's High Time For Low Morale

I can't see how this is happening.
Oh my God.
We're going out now.
We're going nowhere, but this can't,
be the only way to find my own path, to find a way out.
We’re going out now, but I can’t believe
that it’s just all gone down the wrong path.
And I can't find a way out
I’m all for leaving, but where will you go?
Our sights fall to short, and we can’t take this in.
This isn’t the end, but it’s to too far to fall.
It’s too far.
I know you can hear me, please God here my call.
This is the way we kept you so close as you stood by our side,
and raised up our hands to your light.
This is the horror.
We’ve fought through it all, with nothing but you in our sights.
We can't be so wrong.
There's got to be more to this world, there's got to be more in us all.
My God, is this how we were made to live out our lives?
Just keeping ourselves in our minds.
I know that you can't make us all just surrender.
God cleanse us and make us whole.

4. The Best Dancer Carries A Six-Shooter

Again we pile the dead, their bones will not heal.
This isn’t over yet.
We’re gonna show the world.
We march on!
Again we bury our dead, our wounds will not heal.
This isn’t over yet.
We’re gonna show.
So listen up, I’m calling everybody in town.
We’re gonna set this place on fire.
Your entire cause was lit up in my eyes.
But I wish you told me that the truth was all a lie.
Cause you we’re dressed to kill, and just wasting all my time.
Considering this is your first time out, we’re gonna take.
We’ll take it slow to show you the way.
Try to keep your hands from shaking.
Hold em’ steady hold em’ still.
We got to stop the bleeding, all together now.
Dream of the day we’re gonna show them.
We’re gonna show them all.
So listen up, I’m calling everybody in town.
We’re gonna set this place on fire.
Your entire cause was lit up in my eyes.
But I wish you told me that the truth was all a lie.
Cause you we’re dressed to kill, and just wasting all my time.

5. What Went Wrong, Blundo?

Now I know, that I’m tearing myself apart, turning the inside out,
Is this what we are chasing after, or what we are running from?
I see you breathing in, but there’s nothing you can say.
I never thought we’d fall apart.
You don’t have to say a word.
His love will not falter.
And I’m hoping that you know there’s so much more inside you.
Just let him make you believe.
Is this what we’re chasing after, or what we are running from?
This cant be our ever-after.
There’s so much more to love.
I see you breathing in, but there’s nothing you can say.
Our eyes turn toward the skylight.
We stand beside ourselves.
There’s nothing left to see here.
This is our way out.
Now close your eyes and don’t be afraid.
This is why we live, why he calls our name.
Is this what we’re chasing after, or what we are running from?
This cant be our ever-after.
There’s so much more to love.
Don’t close your eyes.
Don’t look away.
He’ll save your life.

6. How To Fight A Losing Battle

Is this way?
Is this way that we should say goodbye?
Just stay with me, Stay alive.
I swear to god.
I won’t give up.
Open your eyes.
Just keep breathing.
Don’t look down.
Again! Again!
This is nothing but the worst.
Again! Again!
I see nothing but the worst.
You’ve got me weak tonight.
Cause I’m walking down this dotted line.
Just stay awake, stay alive.
The blood’s on your hands.
The guilt’s on your hands.
Oh lord, are we just too busy to see the grass so green right beneath our feet?
If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for everything.
