Drowning Not Waving

Follow me down to the wreckage of the hardest of hearts
pay your dues to the temple of the hard loved ones
my weary muse, oh I've drunk all your juice
now Im stranded here without a purpose in life
As we're reaching the newest low
down this road we could have it all
could you please set the tone
and spare me the passion it will end with compassion
this time it feels like we're redeemed
the tension you harbor, is the key to a new world
I built this maze to hide my fears
so caught up in belonging, we forgot what is to feel
This is a frantic escape I cannot keep still
could you set the tone, cause I'm offbeat
oh! With arms widespread I accept the fall
down below, this mess we're in...
Feel my pulse is dancing to this tune I hate
All I've got this rusty song to praise defeat
As we're reaching the newest low
down this road we could have it all
could you please set the tone
spare me the passion it will end with compassion
this time it feels like we're redeemed
the tension you harbor, is the key to a new world
hold my hand , cause I drown in it
you know all I ever wanted, feels like I cant put these things straight in my mind
I'm at a loss for words for all the things that I feel
you know all I ever wanted it's you to hold me and never fail me cause you know I'm drowning, you know I'm drowning
All I ever wanted - All I ever wanted
cause I thrive in chaos and I long for the mess - save me
the tension you harbor the key to a new world - fail me
drown me, save me, waste me
hold me dearly, fail me

Afterlife

Brace yourselves, it's a duel to the end
sadness comes in colors
and I saved the brightest for you
I cut you off to save myself and see my life derailed
with a pair of broken wings
and the shame that comes with hurt
in this life we're holding hands and fight with words
our temper so precious and divine
it builds a crust to keep us so safe
and all the vows sworn to keep us whole
another cross to carry
You promised life filled with colors
you know that dark hearts wont sprout
you promised life filled with colors
your face still shines bright
if you bear the marks of neglect
and horror's the only truth you witness
you see that time won't heal the pain and waste your life away
the well of our wilderness gives
the fuel that drives this world
in this life we're holding hands and fight with words
I waste away, you promised life filled with colors, and I fade…
and as I crave an answer, you're pulling me under
You promised life filled with colors
you know that dark hearts wont sprout
you promised life filled with colors
your face still shines bright
you know that dark hearts wont sprout
and all the vows in such comfort sworn another cross to carry

Light The Flare

Youth is a privilege of those who own it
and if it's not your scene, it's a dead man's seed
Not a subject to intention not a code to live by
poor soul just ignite, a spark to feel alive
Just give us a war and I'll be second to none
this old feeling I can’t shake it off me
Two dates and a name is what our future holds
how could we miss the greater calling
This road is paved with nails
Seek tragedy to find the meaning
and reflame our needs
A lifetime of thrills, this battle is raging it's calling me
I won't stop till the fire is lit, my steady steps to infinity
and we can make it count all rules are bending
you can fix the truth, but we're living proof
A saint to all, absorbing the fall,
still perfectly recall the path to freedom
Just give us a war and I'll be second to none
this old feeling I can’t shake it off me
two dates and a name is what our future holds
were missing our greater calling
A fine tragedy is the flare that we need
passion's a weapon in hands that shape fate
walk down this hell, stand back or prevail
Dare to collapse! I pull a whole world with me…
Dare to collapse! I pull a whole world with me…
Light the flare
faces buried in the sand so long,
have a chance to shine again
Fight, don’t let dreamers give up without a fight
and rise...Rise!

Still Rough On High Seas

This thread that ties our future
a crown for no man
has turned so stiff in my palms
I can’t hand it over
I'm bound in chains I want it all
can’t help this feeling
the hope you give feels like a cage
and it's never pleasing
Tyrants you tyrants
both feet in the chains both hands in a prayer
no sign of surrender
just weather the storm and don't curse the weather
Still rough on high seas screaming
this sacrifice
a world denied
our hopes held high but the ground is shaking
the grateful wont plead
it's so deceiving
they feed us, feed on us and breathe
down our necks like leeches
Tyrants you tyrants
both feet in the chains both hands in a prayer
no sign of surrender
just weather the storm and dont cu'rse the weather
Cowards you cowards
we let the devils rule
still rough on high seas
with a curse on our sails
With high hopes and wanders
this life I’ve led, to find myself…
...still rough on high seas screaming

Purest (of) souls in the worst of occasions,
Their shining eyes, scarred beauties at birth
Save for rainy days its an act of redemption
Its the age of disbelief, never cling to memories
Preserve the feeling and don’t let these words diminish
the hand that reaps the youth comes with a face of a saint,
a sense of sympathy but before disclosure
it drowns the aspirations of a lifetime
We never asked for saviors but we can’t stay withdrawn
So full of charms but not taught exactly how to take the fall
This part of sky we learned to love
This part of sky we learned to love
This soil moist with blood, the land we made our home
Save yourself
Day in day out we live
Save yourself
But I will stay, these scars are there to remain
A broken promise of sailing away
Will never fail, these dreams are yet unattained
A broken promise can shine a ray on fate
You can keep still there is nothing left to fear
But I will stay, these scars are there to remain
A broken promise of sailing away
Will never fail, these dreams yet unattained
A broken promise can shine a ray on fate
Is it the price we pay
We'll never stop dreaming of better days,
so dont flee the scene we are lost when we are apart
We are lost when we are apart
We rushed to crown our success,
but it’s a man’s right to feel blessed
When did all become a mess
Were dying here and all our dreams stood back

Poor Man's Monaco

We're taking sharp turns
and fighting death so inexperienced
this place we called home was a trap all along
a heavy load that’s still swinging over us
Living life in these waters safe and shallow
but fear's the gospel of the weak
like cutting glass feels every mile
it's rise or fall, its game on fuckers
I'm gonna push my luck and find a place to belong
Stick to vision with a meaning
may your dreams shake up this earth
they feel like fire, break through the ceiling
weathered guns in the arms of the passionate
Rise above things we did wrong
out of touch, still not safe from harm.
It’s getting harder to admit this. I'm only happy when I'm restless
the gutter we're born not a sight to behold
aim for the challenge not this hideous balance no
Living life in these waters safe and shallow
but fear's the gospel of the weak
All roads turn bleak…
So heavy lie in my arms
all the years we left to rust
still chasing ghosts
Stick to vision with a meaning
may your dreams shake up this earth
they feel like fire, break through the ceiling
weathered guns in the arms of the passionate

How we let people slip away
what held you away these days
tear our hearts with these lonesome hands
your absence fuels my weakness
I'll dare this life may darkness come
I’m so willing
instead of drifting out of touch stand this ground
we'd never trade bliss for certainty
what keeps you asking for more
More than I could care
For the time we shared
Who is me to question things that make you whole
just naked souls against the world
We're the Homefront!
We'll never, we'll never trade bliss for certainty
you know time is not a healer
it's just a witness, a witness…
you know that words can leave a stain
the kind you take to the grave
and souls are trapped in promises made
more than I could care, words we couldn’t bear
If I can’t be your wings I'll be your stepping stone
How we let people slip away
what held you away all these days
tear our hearts with lonesome hands
it tears my heart, your absence fuels my weakness
I won’t dare to question things that make you whole
in my darkest hours when you're missed the most
More than I could care
for the time we shared
who is me to question things that make you whole
just naked souls against the world
We're the Homefront!
