lyrics

Bright lights and broken bones
Shook violent by the notes and overtones
Indelible on the lenses of these silent eyes
Inevitable one day you’ll step it up or step aside

Cold mornings spent alone
Long nights in endless fights all on your own
Still believe the stories that I tell myself
Still rebel in vain against the hand that I was dealt

What of the pure impassioned hearts
And all the better men who face the guns cool and composed
What do they grasp and what do they let go?
On the darker side of this world
I’m standing all alone
I stand alone
Stand down

Bright lights and broken bones
Pulse quickened by the shots that come too close
Projected on the lifetime that I’m floating through
Never quite alive, just dreaming, disconnected, black and blue

What of the pure impassioned hearts
And all the better men who face the guns cool and composed
What do they grasp and what do they let go?
On the darker side of this world
I stand alone
I stand alone
Stand down
