Rallying Cry

 

I was tired at home, so she asked me to move her

So I packed up my bags and set sail for Vancouver

With a look in her eyes, we were finally free

As she turned and she sang and she screamed out to me

 

We’ll never look back, at the time that we had

Baby that was the reason we turned out so bad

She left me behind feeling weak on my own

I turned and I thought hey at least I found home

 

I’m yours, you see yourself and you leave it there

I’m yours, your breathin life as your breathin air

I’m yours

 

All the dreams that we had faded off with the ship

All the lies that we told we were joined at the hip

Never asking the question, never cared what it meant

I was home in Vancouver, feeling high as I went

 

I was tired at home, so she asked me to move her

Packed up my bags and set sail for Vancouver

With a look in her eyes, we were finally free

As she turned and she sang and she screamed out to me

 

I’m yours, you see yourself and you leave it there

I’m yours, your breathin life as your breathin air

 

I’m yours, you see yourself and you leave it there

I’m yours, your breathin life as your breathin air

I’m yours (x4)

Free

Hold up your head

For the one you left might follow you some day

When you go.....faces that you know

Will mean more and more every single day you go

 

Yeah, so if you’re leaving

By the time you go

When the lights go out

You might always show

 

That you’re gonna be free

Freer than you thought you could ever be

When you said you were scared

It was all in your head

 

So now I break

From where I’ve been held, for too long now I’ve been stuck inside this shell

When you go.....faces that you know

Will mean more and more every single day you go

 

Yeah, so if you’re leaving

By the time you go

When the lights go out

You might always show

 

That you’re gonna be free

Freer than you thought you could ever be

When you said you were scared

It was all in your head

 

And now you’re gonna be free

Freer than you though you could ever be

When you said you were scared

It was all in your head

 

So if you’re leaving

By the time you go

When the lights go out

You might always show

Set Ablaze

Pick yourself up son it won’t be to long

The wise man he talks, to be right never wrong

Just leave yourself feeling you’ve got nothing to fear

You’ll find your salvation at the end of a peer

 

The suns blazin white as your dress to your knees

The worlds getting closer, you’re beginning to freeze

Take your body to music give yourself to the beat

Let the heat of the moment run its way to your feet

 

If the moments to seize and there’s no looking back

Then why do we dream of the dreams of the past

Cause we live to grow old while we’re young

We’ve got to say

 

Dance with me baby and run to the streets

Rip through your reasons; kick your soul into seat

Pumpin like blood to every single one you meet

 

So Dance with me honey, leave your logic aside

You may have your looks but your feelings can’t hide

Your body moving up you up

From the street to the sky

 

Its building you higher as you wait for the drop

That comes with a feeling that you’ll never stop

But this year is different from ones gone before

This time your life just means a little bit more

 

The suns blazin white as your dress to your knees

The worlds getting closer, you’re beginning to freeze

Take your body to music give yourself to the beat

Let the heat of the moment run its way to your feet

 

If the moments are seized and there’s no looking back

Then why do we dream of the dreams of the past

Cause we live to grow old while we long to be young to say

 

(Chorus)

So if the moments are seized, then there’s no looking back

Then why do we dream of the dreams of the past

Cause we live to grow old while we long to be young and play

Firefly

Take a deep breath and never look down

You know you step to the edge and curl your toes round

 

Oh baby the wind blows the shield off of your darkness and light

Yeah your lungs squeeze the air as every muscle grows tight

 

With a rush of warm blood and every sun ray ignites

As you wait to set flight and everybody delights

 

So you keep your hands open and swallow your pride

Oh, you set sail through the ocean, where heavens unite

 

Cause your not, no you’re not, like the rest of your kind

You believe, you achieve and then….

 

You spark like a Firefly

Soaring down through the air

Lighting up darkest times for everybody who’s there

Well you don’t need to speak, to see what it’s all about

You’re the entrance of the day, showing us the way out

 

Open up your window; let it rush to your head

Cause the life rushes through you, in your heart in your head

Oh you stand even higher towered over the chase

For a head start, winning life’s little rat race

 

(Pre chorus)

(Chorus)

 

So you keep your hands open

Keep your hands open

Keep your hands open, it will be alright

If you just keep your hands open

Keep your hands open

Keep your hands open

It will be alright

(Chorus)

You spark like a firefly (x5)

Hang from the gates

It’s been pushing through the clouds

Waiting to knock you out of step

Don’t pretend you’re doing fine

Every line whitens your breathe

 

So break another promise

It’s like sunshine of the mind

The legions are fighting

To open up the top

 

To hang from the gates

Or face a fiery drop

It’s eagerly planted

And brilliantly planned

 

You’re mind is growing weary

Your body’s growing thin

The world is looking dreary

And calling you sin

 

Oh oh oh (x3)

 

Well presently power

Is not your great friend

You’re puffing the powder

Is too much to rent

 

The scars are made so plenty

The veins you cannot see

The fuel is looking empty

Good night my family

 

My family

 

The one who they visit

Alone in your box

Just cross a name from the list

This one’s already lost

Back to top

Careless

Little Johnny’s pulling shoot

Hanging here on the edge of his dreams

He’s tried to leave here many times

He’s tried to grow his wings

 

But he knows he’ll never get there

He knows he’s tried too hard

For all the times he’s welcomed

For all the times he’s part

 

You gotta be careless

You gotta seize your day

You gotta know you’re someone

When your last breathe fades away

 

You’re gonna live fire

You’re gonna burn a trail

You’re gonna fly much higher

Then the eagles could sail

 

Well now little princess wanders

With all your innuendos and lies

For all the days so pretty

When at night she crumbles and cries

 

She’s tried to leave here many times

Tried to grow her wings

For all the ones she welcomed

For all the time she screams

(Chorus)

You’re gonna be you (x4)

(Chorus

You’re gonna be you (x4)

The Old Coyote

He’s runnin, been screamin

Through the rivers of show

The young mans grown more famous

Then the junkies do on blow

 

Well he’s been raised by population

In a world of solitude

Been the number one attraction

Of the idiots new food

 

So watch the old coyote

As the boy becomes a man

Never mind all of his theories

Pull your head out of the sand

Cause someday coming soon

To a theatre near you

You will watch the old coyote die

and you’ll become the new

 

It’s easy being a rockstar

When your life’s all livin in

It’s bound to make you money

So you grow your slimy grin

Well you’re the cure of what is poverty

In a world we all adore

You’re the one who gives it all

Then destructs, so give us more

 

(Chorus)

 

Feel the flashbulbs beating

Electrifies your soul

Feel the blood drip from his mouth

What once was you and yours

A silver silence disconnects

The old man from his knees

It leaves old coyote

Begging you’ll say please

 

(Chorus)

Back to top

 

Rise Above

The storm will lead the way

Your sun will slowly fade

 

Now you feel your chasing shadows

So you lead yourself away…..

….You lead the way

 

But these walls

That you build

Well you know

When they break

 

You’ll rise above

Do you see me?

Do you feel your soul?

All your thoughts will die before

You will stand alone

You’ll Rise Above

 

Fall away young thoughts of heart

I have learned to call, the start

 

Rest your mind, don’t worry

Your day will soon depart

 

But these walls

That you build

Well you know

When they break

 

You’ll rise above

Do you see me?

Do you feel your soul?

All your thoughts will die before

You will stand alone

You’ll Rise Above

Writing on the Wall

Oh they call him super jaded

Not because my writings on the wall

It’s feelin like a no show

Tickin time bomb with a will to make you fall

 

So he looks down on the world beneath him

Nobody can touch what the boy becomes

Oh but he can find his own way

Leave it to the one who the party numbs

 

You find your livin all your fantasies

You’re rising to the top

But now you’ll see there’s one way

That all of this can stop

 

(You know) It’s gonna be a good day when you’re

 

Mr. Superfaded, Mr. Writings on the wall……

Mrs. Overrated, with this lubricated girl

Oh it’s funny when you fall

Yeah it’s funny when you fall

 

She’s miss Fan Damn you made it

Champagne pops now you’re finally on call

Spotlight shines upon thee

Melts the show and oh it’s funny when you fall

 

So she holds on to the hands that feed her

Don’t look down at what’s to come

Her world it’s wrapped in darkness

No those bulbs don’t flash no more

 

Now those lights that you’ve been seeing

Shine away to next in line

And now you get that feelin

That baby it’s your time

 

(You know) it’s gonna be a good day when you’re

 

(Chorus)

Fallen Heroes

So here I’m standing

Crawling my way back home

Thoughts are fading

To sometime when I felt warm

 

Served you so well, entertained you

Gave it all to see your face

I have fallen, I have died here

Just so I could leave this place

 

Fallen heroes, fallen idols

My shoes cannot be filled

Fallen heroes, falling idols

Your soul cannot be killed

 

So now I lay here, safer beneath your feet

All my troubles fall away with each defeat

Hold my head up, as my heart fails

To live up to what I’ve done

Touch is so sweat, as I leave you

Will you remember me when I’m gone?

 

(Chorus)

 

(Refrain)

Did you love me, did you hate me

Did you live to watch me fall?

Have I saved you, have I bored you

Am I greater and now I’m gone

 

(Chorus x2)

Back to top

 

Rely on you

I wish I didn’t have to worry

I wish I didn’t have to care

I wish you didn’t have to leave me

Just so I could know you’re there

 

Now I know the cold nights get so lonely

And I’d rather run before I crawl

You drown alone inside old waters

Forget your troubles where you’re gone

 

Oh but I, rely on you so much

Oh and I, I can feel your every touch

Now you know that I don’t even want you

But your cold heart don’t make a sound

The very one who you might run to

Remains exactly where you’re bound

 

(Chorus)

 

(Bridge)

 

But its not that I want to

It’s not that I care

I’m just waiting for someone

Who’s already there?

I can’t see what’s beneath me

As I step from the edge

The souls rise to meet me

From inside my head

 

(Chorus x3)

Back to top

 

 

Hold On

I am the one who saw you there

You are the one who always needs me dear

Forget the things that I can’t do

The world will come when I find you

Just hold on….

 

So now your livin life like Jesus said

When he was humbled to his knees

To breathe the life back in your soul, you’ll see

Your time will come to rescue me

So hold on….

 

You were the one inside my head

Oh Lord I turned to you

When all you see is life or death

But somehow we’ll breakthrough

Just hold on…

 

So take me back to times when we let go

When you lost track of what you need

To feel as high as you have done before

Then you must learn to let this be

So hold on

 

You were the one inside my head

Oh Lord I turned to you

When all you see is life or death

But somehow we’ll breakthrough

 

You give your life so I find mine

But I know I’ve failed you

For all the miles that I have walked

But someday I’ll find you

Just hold on….(x4)

Rallying Cry

Shoot me down, lay me to rest

Time don’t wait for no man she said

Pick you religion and hope for the best

Battle lines are drawn in the end

 

So I go down, oh,

This time it gets harder to breath

So I go down, oh,

This poor world has started to bleed

 

But I will wait on,

Till I hear your call

And I will break out

When I fear no more

 

Don’t feel uneasy look him dead in the eye

You’ve listened now it’s your time to show

Blow your mind open, with the thought of a lie

Rest easy now there’s no where to go

 

So I go down, oh,

This time it gets harder to breath

So I go down, oh,

This poor world has started to bleed

 

Chorus (x2)

 

Don’t you hang your hat on a one way street

Foolin yourself with impossible dreams

Don’t you fly your flag as the sky still burns

Stand your ground when the cold war comes

 

So she shut her eyes as the world closed in

Held her breath as the time began

As her heart beat still and her lips run dry

This time you fight or this time you die

 

Oh for 8 long years she as held this fire

Father time has come and her limps are tired

But for one last time she she’s the flashes of light

Its hard to believe this life is ending tonight
