about

The marker is set and the future hangs on
To one man
Fate tied to the world
Held tight to his hands
The fears of fighting turn to throwing stones
And the nights were late
Pushed into the morning on holiday
Four a.m. is sticks and stones and shadows
Projected on a brick wall bleeding
The paint of a teen
The only friend is a sunset screaming
Over a hill and over again
He doesn’t need those assholes
And the buildings breathing

The holding on of going out to shows made him sick
And made the stars in the city wash his face with light
No blood, no sweat to wash off t-shirts
For the nights of quick and cold decay
Mounds of diamonds on the interstate
They blink so bright and make the white boy stay up all night
His home is dead in a constant crumble
All the clouds of smoke keep something secret
An anything in the wake of everything

Pushed to the front of a room
The stage is shaking violent
And so are his fighting hands
Wrapped up in tape
With the solo guitarist above him
Strumming like he was shaking hands with the devil
His punches plug interruptions
‘Cause the night is waning
And the crowd is tired from singing so loud and despondent
And the girl he used to know is making sure his fascist
Pretentious fascist heart keeps on beating

You’re a lightning rod
I’m a troubled child
He burned all her clothes without any warning
Born a bum again
The drinks were dry and the music was bad
And he got more lost with every thought he had
I’m a troubled child
