Pre(y)lude 02:22
I may be knocked off my feet And the wind has left me But my sails are still standing Branches and rivers My lungs are a wilderness Every breath is a victory I've still got the song in me And my plan isn't simple My heart sure ain't pure But I've got a voice And my words are the cure Don't say my name You don't talk about me anymore You don't have to say my name You'll sing it with the crowd And my heart is back from the grave You were always beneath me anways

Sound the alarm Sing along no harm, no foul Call out your cavalry To down the piper when his voice is louder Every day is judgment day When the self-righteous roll into town You can't bare to look me in the face So you'll only look when I'm face down You're a peacekeeper if peace was a prisoner Can't bear to let her out and free Peace is destructive she puts out the fires Then no one would hear you speak Will all the yes-men stand in a single file While I pick their brains, pry apart their teeth Do you really think my reach will extend Through their throat and make them speak? Do I pity you? Do you want me to? Do I pity you? Should I have to? So I sound the alarm HERE COME THE REBELS Your tongue is twisted around my name SOUND THE ALARM Ashes to ashes and the dust Underneath my feet will remain The song, THE SOUNDS Ask not for whom the bell does toll It tolls for thee It tolls for me. Crack in the glass Your house is a disaster And small and closed and worn From years of fruitless raging war Put your ego out on the concrete Before it burns someone Put away the poisonous rants Before they invade my lungs Smoke and mirrors can only cover your cancer I'll let you in on a secret you can take Take it to the bank, to the law, to your heart No one cares what you have to say No one listens, no one wants to waste their day Will all the yes man stand in a straight line While I brush their teeth and straighten their ties Prievelege ahoy, pretty pearly whites A captain surrenders his ship to the tide Do I pity you? Do you want me to? Do I pity you? Should I have to? I don't pity you, I don't want to I don't pity you, I don't have to. So I sound the alarm...

There's nothing civil About this war Our words are rusted And our hearts are sore You don't even know What you're fighting for Blood is thicker than water Water can turn into wine Let's drink to our demise Let's cannibalize Our good intentions and get drunk on life A pauper in a kingdom Built on bed sheets and lies There's nothing civil About this war Our words are rusted And our hearts are sore You don't even know What you're fighting for United in our derision We've got bigger things than division To open the battle scars I don't like who are And you say that we all bleed the same But with your blood the game has changed When we open up my unwilling veins... They only serve to soothe your pain Burn it down We hide underground And we cover our face And we say it's a shame

about

This EP was written during and about a very specific time in our lives. We were really hurt by people that used to be friends, we moved out of our first apartment and into our first house... It was a very busy, emotional transition period for us. Our first EP had some fresh new, songs, but it was mostly old ones we had been sitting on for some time. On Shady Landlord, they're all brand new songs. It's a very personal album; a snapshot into our lives during that time.
