Track Name: Young Kids (feat. Cing James)
Underground, pavement, level with the clouds
Make the sound, cave it in, whisper, say it shout
Upstate, downstate, on the other coast
Overseas, under waves, what I want the most

Underground, pavement, level with the clouds
Make the sound, cave it in, whisper, say it shout
Upstate, downstate, on the other coast
Ocean breeze, desert haze, what I want the most...
What I want the most...

Young kids on the train, nobody knows our name
Heavy with the pain, gone as quickly as it came
Young kids on the train, nobody knows our name
Heavy with the pain gone as quickly as it came...

(Cing James)

Looking at maps with our fingers crossed
But we were the ones who ended up lost
Looking at maps with our fingers crossed
But we were the ones who ended up lost

What I want the most... What I want the most...

Young kids on the train, nobody knows our name
Heavy with the pain, gone as quickly as it came
Young kids on the train, nobody knows our name
Heavy with the pain gone as quickly as it came...
Track Name: New War Games
It’s a cold cold war
With a luke warm score
We were fighting hard for something
Now it’s easy to ignore

I was covered in your blood
I was crying out a flood
There’s no mercy to be rationed
Put your war paint on with mud

Put me under attack
Got mad that I fought back
But when you’re living for the freedom
Well you cant take that

So why all the push and shove?
Had me a target from above
I just wanted bad to love you
You just wanted to be loved

Hunters
Lovers
We all search the same

We give until we hate
Say we do it for loves sake
Tear each other down to nothing
Ensuring our hearts won’t break

You came swinging at me hard
Couldn’t tell you why you did
But I would rather take the scar
Then plan a war out on a grid

Cause I’ve been here before
And while I did wash onto shore
I spent a lot of time just drowning
When I’d wanted so much more

Under covers
It’s a new war game

(Verse 1 & 2)

I don’t need that ammo
I kill with kindness
If you’re hunting me with ammo
You will never find this... (x4)

It’s a cold cold war
With a luke warm score
We were fighting hard for something
Now it’s easy to ignore

I was covered in your blood
I was crying out a flood
There’s no mercy to be rationed
Put your war paint on with mud

Put me under attack
Got mad that I fought back
But when you’re living for the freedom
Well you cant take that

So why all the push and shove?
Had me a target from above
I just wanted bad to love you
You just wanted to be loved
Track Name: Run Fast Enough
What did I forget?
In all my scheming
Is every road paved with its regrets
Or is this gleaming?

What did I forget?
Am I dreaming?
I’m waking up
I’m in a cold sweat
It’s beautiful or is seeming?

Lets all run off the deep end
Make our whole lives the weekend
We’ll party, laugh and sleep in
We’ll learn to love our skin

Lets take back those eight hours
We’d lent to every day
Solely for the dull purpose
of resumes and pay

This love is so outrageous
We had locked ourselves in cages
All those crowds and all those stages
These days here will keep me ageless

Lets peek behind the curtain
I see the shadows large
But I must know for certain
Who is it really in charge

Our youth is passing us now
We cannot slow it down
But we can keep it if we keep up
Can we run fast enough?

What did I forget
In all my scheming

This love is so outrageous
We had locked ourselves in cages
All those crowds and all those stages
These days here will keep me ageless

This love is so outrageous
We have torn out several pages
Are we happy? I can’t gauge it
Too distracted and too faded

Lets all run off the deep end
Make our whole lives the weekend
We’ll party laugh and sleep in
We’ll learn to love the spins

Lets take back those eight hours
We’d lent to every day
They drained me of my powers
But built my resume

What did I forget?
Am I dreaming?

Lets drop or change perspectives
Alter priorities
Live just with for collective
We are the reason we breathe

Lets analyze our secrets
See what they’re really worth
And if they’re gold we’ll keep it
Bury them under the earth

I peeked behind the curtain
I saw that shadow large
But I can’t tell for certain
Who is it really in charge

Our youth is passing us now
We cannot slow it down
But we can keep it if we keep up
Can we run fast enough?
Track Name: Empires
I have a favor to ask you
Won't you please be kind?
I have a favor to ask you
Can I make you mine?

Wake up in the morning
Sunday morning
Your body over me

My love my proclamation
A declaration
That today will be our day

I have a favor to ask you
Won't you please be kind?
I have a favor to ask you
Can I make you mine?

Stand up, stand beside me
We do feel it at the core
Embrace the possibilities
Unite what we've been fight for

Stand up, stand beside me
We do feel it at the core
Embrace the possibilities
Unite what we've been fighting for

Everyday there's a new a empire,
To build, to spread what we desire,
A new way to fight it will be...
With love, love, love
For love...

I have a favor to ask you
Won't you please be kind?
I have a favor to ask you
Can I make you mine?

Everyday there's a new a empire,
To build, to spread what we desire,
A new way to fight it will be...
Track Name: Place In The Sun
Stand in the crowd
And the music gets loud
But when the sun is up
The sweat slips down
 
So we wait in the woods
Where we gather our goods
And we’re dreaming in day
Then we go out and play
 
I came here alone
To know my skin and my bone
Could complete me as one
No, I don’t need anyone
 
No, I don’t need anyone
And you cannot take my fun
No, I don’t need anyone
To place me in the sun
 
No we don’t need anyone
And you cannot take my sun
No we don’t need anyone
To place us in the fun
 
I pull my hair back
And I fill up my pack
And water tastes sweet
When you’re drenched in heat
 
Standing in line
Always walking the line
But now there’s dirt on my legs
And burn on my thighs
 
The heat beats us like drums
The breeze floats on like strums
And we all start to hum
To songs that we’ve never sung
 
I lay on the grass
Below the roots form a mass
In a parallel life
Where we live in cool night
 
 I stand up with the crowd
And the music grows loud
And our eyes look up
Because the sun went down
 
In a trance by the stars
And howling guitars
The love of strangers overflows
And it channels to ours
 
We fell asleep to the drums
And we were up with the sun
And with the morning I saw
All that I could outrun
 
Standing in line
Always been walking the line
But now there’s dirt on my legs
And burn on my thighs
 
I came here alone
To know my skin and my bone
Could complete me as one
And no I don’t need anyone
 
You cannot take my fun
Or place me in the sun
No, I don't need anyone
You cannot take my sun
Or place me in the fun
 
(In the crowd)
You’re behind my shoulder
(I can feel)
You behind my shoulder
(In the crowd)
You’re behind my shoulder
Track Name: AOTKL (Part II)
I may complain
Or kick the dirt
Feel ashamed, get broken up or hurt
But what a privilege it is, to trust the universe

(Attack of the Killer Longstreet's!)

On a rock
Asleep in the sun
I dreamt that there were canyons
I woke up and there were none

If you outline with chalk
The things you've done
You can share with a companion
Or just celebrate as one

You can paint the pictures in your mind
Or make permanent carvings to see when you're looking behind

Today is just a quick blur,
But keep it kind
What you put out adds up together
That energy is close behind

I may complain
Or kick the dirt
Feel ashamed, get broken up or hurt
But what privilege it is, to trust the universe

(Attack of the Killer Longstreet's!)

There can be liars, they lie so much!
Saying something happened
When it wasn't even such

Fuel to my fire
I'm on a rush
But your insincere compliments aren't enough to make me blush

And there's instigators
Why even say that?
Were you hoping I'd look crazy making plots of heavy payback?

And you said I was your "Hater"
But I'm on the rush
And when you put it in perspective, it just doesn't matter much

I may complain
Or kick the dirt
Feel ashamed, get broken up or hurt
But what privileged it is, to trust the universe

(Attack of the Killer Longstreet's!)
