01. The All Night Lights

Music & lyrics by 36 Crazyfists
Forever we'll go out into the night with survival in all our eyes.
With knives in hand we stab at the sands of time.
To turn back and unwind.

Under the death of an age we were becoming stronger than...
With terror in our eyes, we wait on these skies to bring a new chapter...

I've seen life through death, under the weight of it all, we all collapse.
And these eyes on survive, we will come from the fall and rise again.

Like lions we tow the line, blood-sewn pact with truth inside.
With knives in hand we stab at the sands of time.
To turn back and unwind.

Under the death of an age, we were becoming stronger than...
With terror in our eyes, we wait on these skies to bring a new chapter.

I've seen life through death, under the weight of it all, we all collapse.
And these eyes on survive, we will come from the fall and rise again.

02. We Gave It Hell

Music & lyrics by 36 Crazyfists
Voice reminds of where we are, in a cement city...
Arrive

We gave it hell and we find ourselves coherent and so unclear.
And I'm lost at sea with guides to spare, lost at sea with guides to spare.
This is the sound waves of desperation.

Ones of reminder and things that just won't heal
And in time we will step away from all of this.
Cause it's the hardest and the longest
And in time we will make this all just disappear.

Let this dig in 'cause I can see the shore.
I think I can make it.
Crash through the door.
And I'm lost at sea with guides to spare, lost at sea with guides to spare.
This is the sound waves of desperation.

One of reminder and things that just won't heal
And in time we will step away from all of this
'cause it's the hardest and the longest.
And in time we will make this all just disappear.

We'll make this disappear, fight on

One of reminder and things that just won't heal
And in time we will step away from all of this...
One of reminder and things that just won't heal
And in time we will step away from all of this.
Cause it's the hardest and the longest
And in time we will make this all just disappear.

We'll make this disappear, fight on

With the weight of the world, I was born for this...

03. The Back Harlow Hell

Music & lyrics by 36 Crazyfists
Never above, never below, always beside

I chose to back off from this open wound, to sweep this all into the flames.
Scream under streetlights 'till the voice takes leave.
Life's beautiful miseries.

Never above, never below, always beside

But you can't make amends when no one lends a chance to make up a time to love.
But you can't make amends when no one lends

I find myself into situations that bloom, and you were right, I should do something.
But maybe I should be the first to know this can't be fixed overnight,
But I know, It's getting out of line.

Never above, never below, always beside

But you can't make amends when no one lends a chance to make up a time to love.
But you can't make amends when no one lends

This is everything that stands between the sky and grave...
This is everything that stands between us, that stands between us

Into the darkness take us there and through these years I've shown my wear.
Though I'm hardened still I'm prepared to fight...

But you cant make amends when no one lends a chance to make up a time to love.
But you cant make amends when no one lends

This is everything that stands between the sky and the grave...

04. Clear The Coast

Music & lyrics by 36 Crazyfists
Ever since the fall, I've abandoned all the shadows...
Replacing history with moral victories.
And this light around my body and what it seems to be.
I'm still coming clean... tonight

When we fall from grace, we must rise from the dead...

And it's all just going away, the way I see it
It's the hardest thing I'll ever find myself.
And it's here we fear the most.
And there's nothing that can dim this light, at least from this distance.

All that I've become, from the greatest of my failures.
Casting the glory from reflections of my fate.
And this light around my body and what it seems to be,
I'm still coming clean... tonight

When we all fall from grace, we must rise from the dead...

And it's all just going away, the way I see it
It's the hardest thing I'll ever find myself.
And it's here we fear the most...
It's all just going away, the way I see it, and it's here we fear,
And there's nothing that can dim this light, at least from this distance...

I've made amends.
Looked past the coast to no end.
I've seen beyond the falling sky.
And in my escape, the road behind comes crashing, I'm not afraid to die...

When we all fall from grace, we must rise from the dead...

And it's all just going away, the way I see it
It's the hardest thing I'll ever find myself.
And it's here we fear the most...
It's all just going away, the way I see it, and it's here we fear,
And there's nothing that can dim this light, at least from this distance...

05. Waiting On War

Music & lyrics by 36 Crazyfists
I am waiting on a war, this is panic is setting in...

From what it seems all could use some cleansing
Better hurry up since were not pretending.
And panic wouldn't mean so much if there was such a thing as end in sight.
But I know its only coming in waves, to seal our silence.

We're waiting on a war, coming through this weather, all aboard..(all aboard)
Into the storm...

With all of this brings death descending.
Belief with the sun comes never ending.
As long as there is life in hearts there will be a thing as endless fight.
But I know its only coming in waves, to seal our silence.

We're waiting on a war, coming through this weather, all aboard...

It's only here I find myself, where karma looms a long way down and a long way out
Come and lock us in...

While we're waiting, seems like a lifetime, but while we're waiting, all aboard...

We're waiting on a war, coming through this weather, all aboard.
Horizons from the shore, too many bloody hands, take back your life.
Were' waiting on a war, coming through this weather, all aboard, into the storm...

06. Only A Year Or So...

Music & lyrics by 36 Crazyfists
I want you to come home.
I'm tired of being alone.
And it's making me sick not knowing if you're safe and alright
The kids are growing up so fast.
And knowing you're missing them.
And they're missing you, has given me a pain so deep inside.
Something from this world can't explore.
Lately I feel like I've been becoming someone else.
Someone I don't recognise, and someone I don't even like.
I need you here to help me remember what it's like to truly be alive.
Everyday I try my best to not get completely overwhelmed with you being gone.
Please tell me how to be strong.
Because everyday I am so worried I could lose you.
There are so many things going on, so many things I want to share with you.
I'm selfish for wanting you home, I know, but I really cant help it.
I need you.
We need you.
I love you completely.
I just want you to come home.

Only a year or so they said...
You won't miss out on anything.
Save me from, free me from dispair.
I just want you to come home.
When the world is really dead.

I lay at night thinking of you and the kids.
Trying to put this into perspective of this day in the world.
So much is happening in my life and I can't seem to put a finger on who I am.
And these are the times I wonder what I was thinking.
I mean what the hell was I thinking.
Everyone says we're heroes, but I feel like I've abandoned you.
I could feel the blood racing through my body, and know that I'm growing distant from the world.

Only a year or so they said...
You won't miss out on anything.
Save me from, free me from dispair.
And know that I'm growing distant from the world.
When the world's really dead.
The wait is over.
Stuck inside this mess.
Dying to hold, you're all on your own.
Praying to get out alive.
Alive, praying to get out alive.
Alive, praying to get out alive.

07. Absent Are The Saints

Music & lyrics by 36 Crazyfists
Go!

With so many words we stand upon our dreams
With all the hell around,
It's exactly what it seems
Lying at the bottom we can't derive our fate
In the dead of night, absent of the saints.

Changed men, will change
There's only two kinds, ones with truth within and ones with plague inside

I don't want to see it all
Come crashing down, down in the ocean
Altering the course,
Untangle this weight and send off the poisons

Mountain size the pain,
If ceased would bring us sound.
No clarity to shape the lost all went unfound
But with the hope of man, shine faith from all unseen.
Braided hands that reach for nothing but belief.

Changed men, will change
Hopes lives unlost, gain strength at all costs

I don't want to see it all
Come crashing down, down in the ocean
Altering the course,
Untangle this weight and send off the poisons

I don't want to see it all
Come crashing down, down in the ocean
I don't want to see it all
Come crashing down, down in the ocean
Altering the course,
Untangle this weight and send off the poisons

Absent are the saints, absent are the saints...

08. Vast And Vague

Music & lyrics by 36 Crazyfists
We hit the floor with little certainty then truth entered with more.
Outlining all the ways of which to be.
But no longer the scenery we hoped has taken over
And now more than ever you'll find out.

Why I try to fight these changes... battling me
I choose these chains, inside just imploding

Slowing the sound,
I eat at this alive for the sake of breaking teeth.

Resist within, where true hearts ignite, engage within, fight to hold hearts high

With nothing left I am on anything to give me a repeat
The lack of faith and hope and the between.
But it's endless, the fight that's never ending and the body full of heart,
Back it in the corner watch it tear this apart.

From limb to limb it strikes on anything that makes itself the enemy...
Survive

Slowing the sound
I eat at this alive, for the sake of breaking teeth...

Resist within, where true hearts ignite, engage within, fight to hold hearts high

We are the ones, the tried and true.
We are the chosen few...

Embrace the rage you hold inside.
Burst from the flames, reclaim the heist.
We won't fall...

Slowing the sound
I eat at this alive, for the sake of breaking teeth...

Resist the end, where true hearts ignite, engage within, fight to hold hearts high.

We stand; we stand the tried and true.
We stand, we stand the chosen few.

We will find a way, we will find a way, we will find a way, we will find a way.

09. When Distance Is The Closest Reminder

Music & lyrics by 36 Crazyfists
Let's just pretend for a second that nothing's wrong
And we've grabbed horizons by the throat and moved along
Bypass everything that dragged us out into the lights,
And while you're around, here's that kiss goodnight

Slow dance in the dark for old times sake, while we leave death in her own wake.

Crawling home with the headlights on
We scrape the skin from bone and disregard...
(The city is our guide)

Here is my voice of retrieval,
That brings me back to the greatest stance I had before weight slowed it down.
And took away the pace I had with no apologies
But if I'm still down help me get off my damn knees.

Slow dance in the dark for old times sake, while we leave death in her own wake.

Crawling home with the headlights on
We scrape the skin from bone and disregard...
(The city is our guide)

The city is our guide all the way home (our guide)
Scrape the skin from bone and disregard, the city is our guide
All the way home, (our guide)
Scrape the skin from bone and disregard, the city is our guide...

(Slowing down life within me) and how it used to be,
(Slowing down life within me) avenge your thoughts, (reclaim) avenge your life (reclaim)

Slow dance in the dark for old times sake, while we leave death in her own wake.

Crawling home with the headlights on
We scrape the skin from bone and disregard...
(The city is our guide)

The city is our guide all the way home (our guide)
Scrape the skin from bone and disregard, the city is our guide
All the way home, (our guide)
Scrape the skin from bone and disregard, the city is our guide...

10. Northern November

Music & lyrics by 36 Crazyfists
There are whispers, ones that let me in on the upcoming.
I watched and listened, ready to take hold the sight
To take over the whole damn night.
I stay buried from loss that would kill me across.
Never go away, hold her tightly and I love harder than I can.
Only one way out.

The voices are calling me, outside in.
They hold the misery from breaking in...

With hours left and the light at the end is dimmer than,
I watched and listened, leaving without loosing tonight
Her breath on skin by candlelight.
I'll take loss from my face and leave grace in its trace.
Never go away, hold her tightly.
And I love harder than I can...
Only one way out

The voices are calling me, outside in.
They hold the misery from breaking in
And one day after the rain, the loss sinks in.
The photographs are alone to uphold withstand

One day after the rain, when the loss sinks in.
The photographs are alone to uphold and withstand.
Only one day after the rain...
Capsized in the sea of your scent.
Only one day after the rain...
When abandonment is my closest friend...

The voices are calling me, outside in.
They hold the misery from breaking in
And one day after the rain, the loss sinks in.
The photographs are alone to uphold withstand

11. The Tide And Its Takers

Music & lyrics by 36 Crazyfists
Open to May, when we were young and brave.
Took steps to remove me, I'll come in and out with the tides.
The lost and the loved, I admire.
You had every chance to close this, to take it all down and out of sight.
Where there's nothing to find and there's nothing to hide.

Your breath fills my skin, all the way in.
In the event of an emergency I'll ask for your saving again.

Return to now, as we are opened wide.
Underneath the haze of lights and scents of cigarettes and lies.
So say your goodbyes and let it all die tonight.
'Cause you had every chance to close this, and let it all in and out of sight,
Where there's nothing to hide, where faith buries strife

Your breath fills my skin, all the way in.
In the event of emergency I'll ask for your saving again.
I'd sleep in mountains of rain to never escape from the endless you.
And we'll side step the masses and live life through glasses of truth.
And you'll never go away, yeah, you'll never go away
