i've fallen in love with this song.
Standing on the edge of the palisades cliffs, In the shadow of the skyline very far away , A lightning rod that couldn’t pull the storm from me. I was 5 years old, my best friends older brother died- He fell from these cliffs. The river washed him away, the current pulled him downstream In our eyes, floating in the headlights, so we parked these cars- Parent’s garage, Listen to the lullaby Of Carbon Monoxide.
War all of the time, In the shadow of the New York skyline We grew up too fast, falling apart Like the ashes of American flags. The sun doesn’t rise- We replaced it with an h-bomb explosion, A painted jail cell of blood in the sky, like Three Mile Island. Nightmares on TV, they used to sing us to sleep- They burn on and on like an oil field, Or a memory of what it felt like To burn on and on- and not just fade away... All those nights in the basement, the kids are still screaming, On and on and on and on
War all of the time In the shadow of the New York skyline, We grew up too fast falling apart Like the ashes of American flags. And we’re blowing in the wind, We don’t know where to land- So we kiss like little kids. We used to be very tall buildings, We’ve been falling for so long. Now, your eyes follow the sign on the edge of town- They offer a welcome when you are leaving.
War all of the time In the shadow of the New York skyline, We grew up too fast falling apart Like the ashes of American flags. The pieces fall it’s like a last day parade, And the fires in our streets start to rage. so wave to the people that long to wave back- from the fabric of a flag that sang "love all of the time"
War all the time War all the time
All of the time I am currently Apathetic
I am listening to thursday- this song brought to you by a falling bomb
