PALISADES LYRICS

1. Disclosure

[featuring Tyler "Telle" Smith of The Word Alive]

Stand up for something worth fighting for!
We're not going down without a fight!
Stand up!
You're never gonna take us alive!

Well excuse me while I catch my breath,
I never thought that this could happen.
I would've guessed that our own death
would have come from our own actions.
Oh the urgency.
The emergency.

Oh my God, look at what's become.
It's them or us or it's over, it's them or us my brother.
God, look at what they've done.
It's them or us or it's over, it's them or us my brother.

Pardon me while I begin to process this information.
Tyrants reigning from the sky,
destroying all our nations.
"Where is your God now?"
They said to "Bow down"
I guess it's time for us to rise up and raise arms!

Nowhere to run to,
no point in hiding.
Our existence has been misguided.
Now we must try to defend all our lives.

[Telle Smith:]
It's now or never stand up for something worth fighting for.
We're not going down without a fight
Stand up!
You're never gonna take us alive!

2. Bury It

There goes another one
I never wanted it to be this way
But you know that I'll never change
And I will always stay the same
Red lips pushing all across my fingertips
My hands on your back they begin to grip
And I will always stay the same I'll never change

Well baby it's a curse that I'm damned
To forever hold the hand
Of lust and greed, it's too tempting for me
And that's all I'll let you know
For right now

Your sweet skin I feel you shaking as you pull me in
I lock the door and then we begin
And you're all I want for now
But don't mistake me
I don't want to be your everything
You should know that you're just a routine
And you're all I want for now

Well baby it's a curse that I'm damned
To forever hold the hand
Of lust and greed, it's too tempting for me
And that's all I'll let you know
For right now

I'll keep you tongue tied
So the words won't have to fail you
I'll keep your lips locked
So the words won't have to leave your mouth

I never wanted it to be this way
I thought that I could change

Well baby it's a curse that I'm damned
To forever hold the hand
Of lust and greed, it's too tempting for me
And that's all I'll let you know

Well baby it's a curse that I'm damned
To forever hold the hand
Of lust and greed, it's too tempting for me
And that's all I'll let you know
For right now

3. Immortal

Don't forget what you know.

A man told me, I should be counting my blessings.
To wrap my head around
Everything that I've got.
But I'm a pessimist at best,
My vision's blinded by the rest
Of what I've lost. Oh I'm so lost.

This is where we are,
And all the things I've seen
That's got me here thus far.
So don't tell me I'm sinking.

I'll keep my head above the bay.
I will drown another day.
And when the skies roll out the darkest days,
I will shout and I will say,
You've made a grave but I won't lay.
Oh there's no way.
No I'm not dying, no I'm not dying today.

You better shape up
Or you're bound to ship out.
My father told me "Son, it's time to figure your life out"
But I'm resisting from arrest,
I know there's more to me than this
I swear I know, but what do I know?

Cause' I've got something more.
Oh you're not gonna win.
My back is stronger and it's not gonna bend.
Oh you're not gonna win.
You're never gonna make me fall down again.
I'll never fall again.

4. Seamless Ending

Yeah I’ve got some demons
That I’ve gotta cast out
And there’s a preacher standing beside me
Looking at me with his doubt
because I know when I go
to meet my fate
I’ll be staring down God
at the pearly gates
and when he sees me
will He see me?
cause I’ve made some bad decisions
I’ve made some grim mistakes
and all I’m asking
and all I’m praying
is to bless me with your grace
Cause I’ve been waiting on a dream
I’ve been waiting for something more
I’ve been waiting on a seamless ending
Yeah I need an angel
To stop me from going down
Don’t wanna be stuck underground
cause when the devil’s on your shoulder
you learn as you get older
whispers in your ear
the things you want to hear
and even though you know it’s not a cure
you’ll say “keep em coming” more and more
I was young
I didn’t have a care
Thought I’d get out of here
Oh, how wrong I was
I didn’t have a care
and now I’m stuck in here
Now I’m stuck in this nightmare
That I can’t wake up
Every day is just another rut
I’m stuck in here
But my dream’s out there

5. Wolves

Damn it all to hell
I lost the map
From last time that I took this trip
And I forgot just where I fell
And now I can just never tell
Where it is I stand
I lost myself from the first time that I took you in
And you forgot how hard you fell
And now you’re just starting to sell your self short of the

Mistakes that I never wanted you to make
You’ve become what they crave
Wolves will eat your skin
If you let them in
You’re a child in the corner
So I’m setting up some borders
To keep in my sanity
I’m escaping from your fantasy

Here I go again
I find me standing
In the same place just where I began
Never knowing up from down
Only that I’ll hit the ground
Damn it wheres my head?
I find me fast awake laying in my bed
And even in my sleep
I’m grinding at my teeth

So what’s the point?
So prove your point

Just like the current
Of the ocean
Pulling ourselves back and forth
A compass that has no direction
Never knowing what is north
I need to be
The remedy
Before it’s just too late
I’m wondering
If theres a cure
And how much we’ll have to take

I never wanted to be this lonely
I never thought about what was at stake
You never thought about molding yourself
Now I’m left with my hands of clay
