heard your calling, the sky falling
ur star is on the rise
stoking the fires, fears ur desire
a blinding golden lie
the way u treat her
u rank deceiver
they missed the warning sign
ur heart is hopeless,
dashed dreams more homeless
ur blotting out the lights
u got to take a stand today,
cause they'll take you're choice away
fuck shining cities by the sea
let's shelter you, shelter me
in doors and corners
imagined borders
children run from plight
burning hot cages
fermented rages
cruelty you don't deny
misery's ur feature
gold is your preacher
the rivers running high
the dam is breaking
soon you'll be shaking
feeling our rising tide
u got to take a stand today,
cause they'll take you're choice away
fuck shining cities by the sea
let's cover you cover me

Bird she lost her wing
Pulls upon the seams and things
Moment in the sun
The earth is cracked
Nothing has begun
When its all gone
All gone
When its all gone
All said and done
Now we're sitting upon the rug
Candles light the holes we dug
Move through the windowsill
There's nothing left for time to kill
When its all gone
All gone
When its all gone
All gone
Does your heart ache
As we move westward towards the lake
The waters so cool
as you rest your foot down in the pool
...and when it's all gone
...and when it's all gone
Stand by the rocks and sea
Borrow into the broken tree
Boats move out of range
This emptiness child seems so strange
When its all gone
And when its all gone
And all said and done

what else

ur back is broke, no where to turn.
lost your home, crops are burned.
not a penny left to pay your dues.
so what else do you have to lose?
ur life don't matter, they don't care.
lead in water, soot filled air.
nothing left for u to choose
so what else do you have to lose?
no safety in the neighborhood
can't call the cops, misunderstood
here's a 45, now ya stand accused
and what else do you have to lose?
shot down in the night of day.
reach for you wallet, as you prey
justice got the coldest eye
three fifths of a truth is still a lie
so what else do u have to lose?

never never wanna go to that town
where the people mean and so unkind
smelling steel and slag all day
left that town and went away
never never wanna fight in your war
steal land kill people sew seeds of hate
that's not what we are for
we can be so much more
I'll never give up, don't ever give up
on love
never never wanna work in your bank
making money off someone's foreclosure
don't wanna take your home away
don't believe in money anyway
never never wanna give up on you
wanna make to make this world so much better
wanna take ya by the hand love
walk by the sea, feel the sand
I'll never give up, don't ever give up
on love
don't ever give up, I'll never give up
on love
never never wanna leave my home
got cats and friends and chores to do
gonna play guitar all day through
make love by the light of the moon
please never never give up on me
let's make this world so much better
wanna take you by the hand love
walk by the sea and feel the sand
I'll never give up, don't ever give up
on love
don't ever give up, I'll never give up
on love
I'll never give up, don't ever give up
on love
