WITH HONOR LYRICS

1. Like Trumpets

Enough pictures drawn in the sand,
Of everything we wish we'd been,
Just to watch them wash out when the waters rise.

Enough careless talk about giving up,
Complaining of the things we haven't got,
Why can't we stand up to the test of time?

No more, No less than all we are, all we have,
No more holding back.
So far, we've only made a scratch, knives out,
No more holding back.
We'll drag our heels on cold concrete
until it's four feet wide and six feet deep,
To forget our regrets and yesterdays.

Enough careless talk about giving up,
Complaining of the things we haven't got,
Why can't we stand up to the test of time?

No more, No less than all we are, all we have,
No more holding back.
So far, we've only made a scratch, knives out,
No more holding back.

I want to cut, cut the binds,
It's not the scissors that are dull.
It's our minds, It's our apathy and shallow goals entwined.
It's all or nothing, kiss yesterday goodbye.

No more, No less than all we are, all we have,
No more holding back.
So far, we've only made a scratch, knives out,
No more holding back.
It's all or nothing, kiss yesterday goodbye.
It's all or nothing, kiss yesterday goodbye.
It's all or nothing, kiss yesterday goodbye.
It's all or nothing, kiss yesterday goodbye.

2. Plot Two

For all our shattered hopes and trying times,
Anchors weight on inspired lives.
Deadbolts on doors lock away our peace of mind.
So few, so few moments of freedom,
With ages in between,
And sterilized routines.
I am so sick of this nights pretending
It's just the way life has to be.
While we sacrifice our dreams
For safety nets,
Answers without questions asked.
Faces on floors, tears for days we can'ts get back.
So few, so few moments of freedom.
With ages in between,
And sterilized routines.
I am so sick of this nights pretending
It's just the way life has to be.
I am so sick of this nights pretending
It's just the way life has to be.
While we sacrifice, While we sacrifice our dreams
The lights dim so low, grief piles high.
No sign of certainty, treading seas of crooked smiles.
Looking deep into the greenest eyes,
Blurring lines with truths that lie.
Like wolves in a sheep's disguise,
Out with the claws.
One step.
One breath.
May be all that I have left.
White knuckles to the end,
This is our revenge.
One step.
One breath.
May be all that I have left.
White knuckles to the end,
This is our revenge.
One step.
One breath.
May be all that I have left.
White knuckles to the end,
This is our revenge.
This is our revenge.

3. Elevens

Please tell me how we did this,
We got ourselves into such a mess again.
We've fought so long we can't remember that the hell it was about.
I can't count the times I've turned around, cheated my promises, and sold you out.

How is this not a waste of time, these blind eyes won't see me through.
I'm feeling for a hand to hold me now, lift the veil, see the truth.
There's so much further left to climb, and not one inch has been secure.
I'm feeling for a hand to hold me now, lift the veil and endure.
Be it my dexterity for long-winded alibis,
But excuses came full circle months ago.
I've wanted to walk away, but it can't be right,
To forget the knocking and throw the fight,
Silence the wanting and blackout the firelight.
How is this not a waste of time, these blind eyes won't see me through.
I'm feeling for a hand to hold me now, lift the veil, see the truth.
There's so much further left to climb, and not one inch has been secure.
I'm feeling for a hand to hold me now, lift the veil and endure.
I'm digging deep to find resolve to change, will to draw lines.
I'm putting old ways to the knife, I'm dying here this time.
Because honestly I can't relate,
While lying to your face everyday.
With webs of lies spun to justify all of my failures.
I've realized my heart's content,
I may never see an end.
So when you need me I'll be outside throwing rocks at the moon every night
'til the day I die, 'til the day I die.
I still believe that faith can move the mountains.
I still believe that faith can move the mountains.

4. Up And Out

Just three words to right the wrong,
One simple phrase, two hands to play along.
Instead of matchbooks, backyards, and knives,
We play with sharpe blades, run them through our sides.
Drop innocence, use common sense,
Protect yourself, forget your friends,
Kill the lights, walk out the door, time complicates, we're not kids anymore.
There's not a price to pay that could replace our trust
Count the passing days,
Time can't rebuild what's lost.
We are not the same,
We'll never be the same.
We are not the same.

5. Closets

I'll hold my tongue
These has been enough double talk to double cross every bridge we've ever walked.
Watch them burn along with love lost, empty words withdrawn, confidence replaced with doubt.
Open handed antidotes,
Contrived smiles, half-heated jokes,
If this is letting go, then burn it down and just let go.
I guess I'll break the yoke and walk alone,
I'm missing the days, missing the days when I was missing home,
But the past is in the past, it's here today and gone so fast,
Just walk away, walk away some things don't last.
I'll find another brick to throw,
Another bottle to break.
You've got memories and I've got ghosts,
Kill the kind words we learned to know.
This is not the way things had to be,
You helped me see that star-crossed eyes aren't that they once were,
Pretty as they seem.
Open handed antidotes,
Contrived smiles, half-heated jokes,
If this is letting go, then burn it down and just let go.
I guess I'll break the yoke and walk alone,
I'm missing the days, missing the days when I was missing home,
But the past is in the past, it's here today and gone so fast,
Just walk away, walk away some things don't last.
Come at me like you mean it,
With skeletons to fill a thousand closets,
Do what you will.
Come at me like you mean it,
With skeletons to fill a thousand closets,
Do what you will.
It's out of my hands, do what you will.
I guess I'll break the yoke and walk alone,
I'm missing the days, missing the days when I was missing home,
But the past is in the past, it's here today and gone so fast,
Just walk away, just walk away.

6. Bottoms Up

Call me the song beating in your heart
The needles mark, scrape, and pry,
Damage is done, when all these cuts bleed dry,
I'll have your story craved on my chest and arms,
Broken dreams spelled out in scars.
Call me the hope built up just to let you down,
Crippled like fractured legs,
With my knees scraping on the ground,
I'll have your story craved on my chest and arms,
Broken dreams spelled out in scars.
I will,
I'll wear these bruises like a tlantet.
This lesson like a hat,
Tip the brim and turn it back,
To minds that won't relent,
Builging heats on things we said and meant.
This is how it feels to come undone.
I'll have your story craved on my chest and arms,
Broken dreams spelled out in scars.
I'll have your story craved on my chest and arms,
Broken dreams spelled out spelled out in scars,
Out in scars.
"The human body can bear immeasurble pain and yet recover, Wounds can heal.
But once your spirit in broken, everything pulls apart."

7. 20 Strong

So it's been week and I can't help but stop and think,
These rooms seem cold without you.
Memories turned salty cheeks,
I still feel the flames you held beneath my feet.
Life may never be so good again.
I've been staring at there picture so long, I swear they're talking back.
Today is for the living.
These songs that we're singing are more than moving on,
They're the only ways we're making sense of a world that's small enough to shake,
But it's still strong enough to break us down.

I've tried to capture it never found a way.
'Cause wrapping words around a love that made
Palaces of parking lots and art of ugly hearts isn't easy.

Life may never be so good again.
I've been staring at there picture so long, I swear they're talking back.
Today is for the living.
These songs that we're singing are more than moving on,
They're the only ways we're making sense of a world that's small enough to shake,
But it's still strong enough to break us down.

What we gave, what we had.
Some may never understand how twenty kis in three vans won't ever be the same again.
What we gave, what we had.
Six weeks in the clouds and I'm still not ready, not ready to come down.

Today is for the living.
These songs that we're singing are more than moving on,
They're the only ways we're making sense of a world that's small enough to shake,
But it's still strong enough to break us down, break us down.

8. You Always Said

Something are just the truth,
Like how the sky is blue,
And wheels will always roll.
A mile won't pass without me missing you and it breaks,
It breaks through my skin.
The clock's sitll ticking,
Everyone that's still breathing has more important things to do.
Call of the morning, stop the light,
I can't forget hard as I try.
Start in on long night where we gag on things that we never got to say.
Lost sight of brighter times,
Two of the brightest eyes closed forever yesterday.
I'll reach for the stars and pull them down,
Tie them up inside your arms and learn to move on somehow.
You made me feel like in this life there's not a minute worth wasting.
Now I don't know, I don't know how to walk away.
Call of the morning, stop the light,
I can't forget hard as I try.
Start in on long night where we gag on things that we never got to say.
Lost sight of brighter times,
Two of the brightest eyes closed forever yesterday.
But you have my word,
I'll give that much more.
I won't take a similar smile for granted,
I'll learn to take falling on my face as dancing.
It's time close the coffin tight.
I'm going to miss you. I'm going to miss you.
It's time close the coffin tight.
I'm going to miss you. I'm going to miss you.

9. A New War

Will we see the day when the trees that we hang our heads from,
Hit the ground like dead men's love songs,
Offering another history of privilege and open doors?
As they march us off to a new war,
When it's through there'll be a hunder more.
With us to wonder what the hell we're fighting for.
RESIST; cycle repeat; relinquish.
We've made an art of giving in,
Forfeiting steps we should have taken.
Will we see a light in the dark at this tunnel's end?
To pacify the rage of hallow slogan,
To ezpose picket sign pretense,
And reationalize words without actions?
As they march us off to a new war,
When it's through there'll be a hunder more.
With us to wonder what the hell we're fighting for.
RESIST; cycle repeat; relinquish.
We've made an art of giving in,
Forfeiting steps we should have taken.
Did we forget the future's in the making?
Rule may be bent,
But they're overdue for breaking.
Open your eyes, stand up and believe,
Throw off the chains, For once be free.
Let go of this so-called freedom bedtime stroy,
The only free ones have built empires on two bit lies and blood money.
Let go of this so-called freedom bedtime story,
The oldest new war, under the radar,
Is fought in city streets and back alleys.
"The future belongs to today's oppressed.." [Robert R. Williams]
"Man was born free, but everywhere else he is in chains." [Rousseau]

10. Small Dreams

Do you recall seeing no way that we could get through?
Those nights spent thinking, "Our dreams may be just small enough to come true?"
So steal away.
Do you recall seeing no way that we could get through?
Those nights spent thinking, "Our dreams may be just small enough to come true?"
Steal aways, steal away and let these days
Witness the death of fear,
See our confusion clear,
Unravel everything we thought we were,
Sink hopes that let us down,
Save us from feet striding on careless clouds.
We grew up too fast,
There's no use in running now.
We grew up too fast,
We'll get through somehow.
No telling what's around the corner,
But we'll find a way to wrestle in down.
Making lond mistakes to drown out concerns,
They said we'd never learn.
Take this for what it's worth.
So steal away and let these days be the fade, black and white to gray.
Steal aways, steal away and let these days
Witness the death of fear,
See our confusion clear,
Unravel everything we thought we were,
Sink hopes that let us down,
Save us from feet striding on careless clouds.
We grew up too fast,
We grew up too fast,
We grew up too fast,
There's no use in running now.
We grew up too fast,
We grew up too fast,
We grew up too fast,
But we'll make it through somehow.

11. In A Bottle

When did life assume the shape of a TV screen,
A work-horse work week, and commute in between?
As we masquerde the days we waste,
Love's stuck on dusty shelves with feelings we forsake.
Before you know it, they'll be selling us blood to bleed and air to breathe.
Along with pre-packed hopes and dreams that always stay an arm's length out of reach.
I can't help thinking there's more than thoughtless repetition,
On the porch all night telling stories,
Outlasting moons when the rain is pouring down.
Before you know it, they'll be selling us blood to bleed and air to breathe.
Along with pre-packed hopes and dreams that always stay an arm's length out of reach.
Will we fight to take the reigns of our lives and find our owns truths?
Will we die to darker days and break ties with the hells we've walked through?
It's not too late.
It's not too late.
It's not too late.
It's not too late.
