lyrics

I know I could go down for this
my words are just like sinking ships
no matter how hard I fought
there’s always holes that I forgot
seems like we’ve been going coast to coast
just digging up things from so long ago
but once we hit rich someday
all this shit could just float away
see I've living life in a story book
just leaving all the facts here overlooked
and my sights were set without debate
cause you left me no room to calibrate
so I gathered an army to fight my wars
while I was still leading all of yours
then I was on a stretcher with nothing to stay
and that’s when I knew I got carried away

We refuse to die where we were born
way to close for reform
but these big city dreams never get us where we planned
when we forget how to love right where we stand

So the orders have changed I will set down my guns
Cause I have nothing left to prove to anyone
I will tear down these walls and these barricades
I'll raise up my flag I'm ready to show you my face
But I still refused to watch you kneel
and follow the words you believed to heal
without and proof or evidence
from anything of relevance
and I lost all my room for tolerance
but you preached it still with such diligence
that we forgot the bombs flying overhead
like everyone we just remember what our savior said

We refuse to die where we were born
way to close for reform
but these big city dreams never get us where we planned
when we forget how to love right where we stand
