Saving Grace

I didn’t finish high school but I think I turned out okay.
Got my GED so there was nothin’ anyone could say.
Started writing these songs and I formed a band.
Broken hearts broken dreams its bullshit I’ll never understand.
This is what saved me.
This is how I got through
The good and the bad days without you.
And this is what picks me up when I fall down.
Its how I get up the next round.
This is how I made it through.
If I could only get the chance to reach somebody who might need to know they’re not the only one to ever feel the way they feel.
In a world that can knock the shit right out of you.
Cheap shots that you never saw that leave you black and blue.
This is what saved me.
This is how I got through.
The good and the bad days without you.
And this is what picks me up when I fall down.
Its how I get up the next round.
This is how I made it through.
This is what saved me.
It’s how I got by.
When the walls came crashing down.
You got me out alive.
And the music’s in my soul.
And the music’s all I know.
This is my saving grace.

Dismantling Johnny

Dismantling Johnny a piece at a time.
First hey took his pride then they took his mind.
Right down to his Chuck Taylor shoes.
The making of another wasted all-american youth.
Mommy and Daddy’s picture perfect world.
Shattered when Johnny’s head hit the floor.
Now he won’t screw up anymore
Dismantling Johnny a piece at a time.
First they took his pride then they took his mind.
You’re looking in from the outside nothing’s what it seems.
Look there on the floor at your American dream.
Mommy and Daddy’s picture perfect world.
Shattered when Johnny’s head hit the floor.
Now he won’t screw up anymore.

Hearts and Minds
02:31

Always there when we needed you the most
strong and stubborn with a new story to tell
no one ever questioned your heart
so hard to believe the night you fell
cut down by that monster with no cure
but at least you lived your life
I’ve seen the best get taken out
mountains come tumbling down
Brothers and friends gone before their time
this one’s for you
forever in our hearts and minds
Smile of a hero eager to have a good fucking time
never saw those demons that you fought
behind closed doors you made your final descent
one dark day won’t swallow up your light
let the beer flow because tonight we drink to you
I’ve seen the best get taken out
mountains come tumbling down
Brothers and friends gone before their time
this one’s for you
forever in our hearts and minds

Stuck on Survive

Take a stand take a chance don’t turn and run.
Longer days and longer nights don’t forget where you come from.
Something old something new sometimes it’s hard to pull through.
But you will.
Forget the clock on the wall.
It can’t rain all the time.
In the end the promises are what we have.
Yours and mine.
Crack a smile grab a bottle you’re only young once.
Time passes by so fast you’ll make mistakes but you’re not the only one.
Something old something new sometimes it’s hard to pull through.
But you will.
Forget the clock on the wall.
It can’t rain all the time.
In the end the promises are what we have.
Yours and mine.
I know you feel alone and this world has grown so cold and you got stuck on survive.
I know you feel alone and this world has grown so cold and you got stuck on survive.
But you’ll get by.

Walking Away

Verse:
Walk out my front door through the cemetery gates.
Out of this hall of death and decay.
All the things you told this child.
Don't mean anything to me today.
Chorus:
I'm walking away (I'm walking away)
From this house so full of death (So full of death)
Your whitewashed tombs are full of dead bones, and I'm walking away, I'm walking away from you.
Verse:
Highway in my headlights, I'm on the run.
Gonna put this shit town behind me.
Took all I had just to walk away.
It's the first thing I've ever done for me.
Chorus:
I'm walking away (I'm walking away)
From this house so full of death (So full of death)
Your whitewashed tombs are full of dead bones, and I'm walking away, I'm walking away from you.

She’s an angel in black and white desperate and alone.
She’s lying on the floor tonight so far from all she’s ever known.
She’s waiting by the phone.
But no one’s calling.
She’s living in a nightmare she’s only read about in books.
She’s taking chances that she wished she never took.
Is it too late, is she fading away?
Hold on Emily, hold onto me.
It’s hard watching it all unwind.
Watching her fall apart and disappear.
When it’s her voice on the telephone.
But you can tell she’s no longer there
She’s waiting on a savior in the wrong part of town.
She’s living in a nightmare she’s only read about in books.
She’s taking chances that she wished she never took.
Is it too late is she fading away?
Hold on Emily, hold onto me.
Is it the affection?
Or is the attention?
Is it a darker glory that hides your reflection?
Can you see yourself, fading away?
She’s living in a nightmare she’s only read about in books.
She’s taking chances that she wished she never took.
Is it too late, is she fading away?
Hold on Emily, hold onto me.
