American Bands

"I took one last look from the heights that I once loved and then I ran like hell."

"I searched for love in an empty world but all I found was hate."

"Shots fired into the sky are now returning. Where the fuck will you hide?"

"The time that we kill keeps us alive."

"When we built these dreams on sand how they all slipped through our hands this might be our only chance."

"Chairs thrown and tables toppled, hands armed with broken bottles. Standing no chance to win, but we're not runnin'."

"It's not the end that I fear with each breath, it's life that scares me to death."

"When I die, will they remember not; What I did? But what I havn't done"

"I swear I'm sucking dry the sky and you wont ever find us kneeling or swallowing your lies."

"I've got some friends, some that I hardly know but we've had some times, I wouldn't trade for the world"

"I'm living for my dying wish."

"We've rehearsed our lines clear and loud but the cue never came and the lights they never went down"

"So please believe your eyes, a sacrifice, is not what we had in our minds, I'm coming home tonight, home tonight."

"Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words"

"So still I wait with hope inside of me."

"If love is a labor I'll slave 'till the end"

"When hope is non-existent, Our instincts all scream "Run", We never turn our backs or even bite our tongue."

"My hands are soaking in the blood of angels. On broken wings, they collapse."

"To much blood has flown from the wrist, of the children shamed for those they chose to kiss."

"These careless fingers are wrapped around a black ball-point pen, these eyes don't wander as far as they at one time did."

"Would God bless a murder of the innocents? Would God bless a war based on pride? Would God bless a money-hungry government? No. Would God bless our ineffective court system? God bless the sweatshops we run. Would God bless Amerika? God bless Amerika."

"Time spent on hate, is time gone to waste."

"Before you swallow me into your perfect life, I'm not going out without a fight."

"If I could paint how I feel, I'd draw bullseye on your forehead my anger is not misdirected unless it somehow misses you"

"If we're the flagship of peace and prosperity we're taking on water and about to fucking sink"

"I hit the ground and I'm still running but I need a place to stay tonight, I swear I'll be gone in the morning I just need somewhere now"

"Our buildings have fallen, our walls all caved in, and we can't comprehend the sick state that we're in."

"And each and everyday will lead into tomorrow. Tomorrow bring one less day without you."

"Am I really someone you need to restrain? Can't you listen to what we have to say?"

"The seas part when they hit the floor, the voices carry on and out the door, everything you touch turns into gold."

"Let the blind lead the blind, 'cause it's eye for an eye, in your so-called life."

"So here and now in our rotting nation, the blood it pours, it's all on our hands now. We live in fear of our own potential."

"You're still searching for these answers, they're not inside your wrist"

"We're not putting up with this planet one more day, much less one more year."

"Simply because you can breathe, doesn't mean you're alive, or that you really live."

"A need for revolution's rising, it comes to the surface gasping for air."

"I never claimed to be something more than me, your standards I refuse to see."

"Trying to make a difference but where the fuck did you go wrong?"

"Your heart grows heavier with time and I fell victim to the changing tide. And this blood has long since dried."

"Keep this line open to get this call from you. Speak the words that keep me coming back to you."

"A beating heart and a microphone, a ticking clock in an empty home, still tells of these times so long ago."

"Is there a God tonight, up in the sky, or is it empty just like me?"

"How long will this taint, all these words spilling from my mouth?"

"We all dream the same dream everynight to burn the world that you call civilized."

"Take my hand and I'll promise not to ever let it go."

"You're the new revolution, the angst-filled adolescent. You fit the stereotype well."

"The remains of summer memories spent so far away, free from the fear or jealousy that plagues our lives today."

"Drown in the flood of the tears that have been wept and I scream to the sky, "Now, you are not alone.""

"Is this the life that you lead, or the life that's led for you? Will you take the road that's been laid out before you?"

""I don't love you anymore", is all I remember you telling me, never have I felt so cold."
