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

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
