In The Midnights lyrics - 36 Crazyfists

I ran with the dead and chased
And chased my own shadow
Built walls, walls of belief
Reaction from the fall
We are ones of will
Desperate and dying
I was, I was along
For the ride, the ride of the unaligned

I gave you every word to hold
On a deathless night
Sucking, bleeding, inside out
If I had gave in
I'd never live that down

I wanted to believe in everything I'm after
But I was drowning in the hell that I raised
And when there's nothing left to say
You won't need a reason
To kill these cancers that may come your way

Long cold wind hits face to remind you're
Not done, unloved, failure
Serves as lessons learned
Faith regained from plagues
What will I find in me?
I found, I found in the falls
In the falls, the falls of the unaligned

I gave you every word to hold
On a deathless night
Sucking, bleeding, inside out
If I had gave in
I'd never live that down

I wanted to believe in everything I'm after
But I was drowning in the hell that I raised
And when there's nothing left to say
You won't need a reason
To kill these cancers that may come your way

I ran with the dead
And chased my own shadow
Built walls of belief
I saw the dead rise

Rise! Rise!

I saw the dead rise, rise!
I saw the dead rise!
I saw the dead rise, rise!
I saw the dead!

Reflection dying with me
Reflection dies
Reflection dying with me
Reflection dies

I wanted to believe in everything I'm after
But I was drowning in the hell that I raised
And when there's nothing left to say
You won't need a reason
To kill these cancers that may come your way

Whitewater lyrics - 36 Crazyfists

The sky stars fell out and into graves
Breathing while dying
Companies of ghosts remain
Alone with the sea

And as they fade away

Late night hope and wish
Even now you're undressed in my sleep

Slowly the swells of light seep through
As we breathe in the darkened sky
And in times in of grace replace my distaste
Signals flare and layers fade away

White water won't wash away
Done let it confuse
The road to soul is lonely at best
I've arrived at empty

And as they burns away

Late night hope and wish
Even now you're undressed in my sleep

Slowly the swells of light seep through
As we breathe in the darkened sky
And in times in of grace replace my distaste
Signals flare and layers fade away

You won't destroy me
Or break my will
You won't destroy me
Or break my will
Or break my will

And in times in of grace replace my distaste
Signals flare and layers fade away
Slowly the swells of light seep through
As we breathe in the darkened sky
And in times in of grace replace my distaste
Signals flare and layers fade away

Or break my will
Or break my will
You won't destroy me
Or break my will
Or break my will
Or break my will

Mercy And Grace lyrics - 36 Crazyfists


Untangle me from my detest
Untangle my wreck
Slowly but surely were dining in
A table full of regret

Alive! Inside!
Never thought I'd get back here
Starting at the bottom
Life extinguish life
Life extinguish life

Wallowing in this sinking ship
The water taking on
You and I and a bottle to get by
Unravel our song

Untangle me from my detest now
Untangle my death
Breath of the breathless onto my end
Choking the truth within

Alive! Inside!
Never thought I'd get back here
Starting at the bottom
Life extinguish life
Life extinguish life

Wallowing in this sinking ship
The water taking on
You and I and a bottle to get by
Unravel our song

And I never wanted to be quite like this
A slow steep hole that I'm in
And I never wanted to die like this
And I never wanted you to see
I never wanted you to see

Wallowing in this sinking ship
The water taking on
You and I and a bottle to get by
Unravel our song

Life extinguish life (unravel our song)
Life extinguish life (unravel our song)

Death Renames The Light lyrics - 36 Crazyfists

I can't lose anything
I watched you run
From the demons that drown you
Wash the blood, blood, blood, from your hands
From the darkest of days to the deadliest sands

Now's where the liars will come
The broken, the beaten, the battered, the numb

I once wrote these things
So I could change from agonies in me
Then fell from grace and back again
Eyes awake all night
Death renames the light
Death renames the light
Renames the light

I once wrote these things
So I could change from agonies
Renames the light

I once wrote all these things
So I could change from agonies in me
Fell from grace, grace, grace, and back again.
Eyes awake all night
Death renames the light

Now's where the body will bleed
Gale forces the wind, heighten the sea

I once wrote these things
So I could change from agonies in me
Then fell from grace and back again
Eyes awake all night
Death renames the light
Death renames the light
Renames the light

I once wrote these things
So I could change from agonies
Until the end, pain, reveals it

Until the end, pain reveals
Until the end, reveals
Until the end, pain reveals
Until the end, reveals it

The light
Death renames the light
Renames the light

I once wrote these things
So I could change from agonies
I once wrote these things
So I could change from agonies

Anchors lyrics - 36 Crazyfists [feat. Adam Jackson & Raithon Clay]

Weighed in the balances
While night invests the sea
No god awaits, no god awaits
Still conscious as I bleed
Cast through waning memories
A greater love, a greater love
The only air I need

This will never end
Where these scars wrote stories
I'll hold this forever with Northern Eyes

And I will never lose faith again
And I will never lose faith again

Where would we be without these anchors?
You can't quite believe oceans never ending

Ecliptic and shadowless
My hour of disdain
No god awaits, no god awaits
Still conscious as I bleed
Cast through waning memories
Anchors of hope, anchor my heart
In oceans never ending

This will never end
Where these scars wrote stories
I'll hold this forever with Northern Eyes

And I will never lose faith again
And I will never lose faith again

Where would we be without these anchors?
You can't quite believe oceans never ending

This will never end
Where these scars wrote stories
I'll hold this forever with Northern Eyes

Night will never look same!

Where would we be without these anchors?
You can't quite believe oceans never ending
Where would we be without these anchors?
You can't quite believe oceans never ending
Without this truth, without this truth

Without this truth
Anchors of hope, anchor my heart
Anchor
Anchors of hope, anchor my heart

Without this truth
Anchors of hope, anchor my heart
Anchor
Anchors of hope, anchor my heart

Without this truth
Anchors of hope, anchor my heart
Anchor
Anchors of hope, anchor my heart

Long Road To The Late Nights lyrics - 36 Crazyfists

[Instrumental]

Trenches lyrics - 36 Crazyfists

Reckless abandon, coming undone
Survive the swallow, decade of ruin gone

I found myself in trenches tonight
Regret runs wild as darkness kills
All the lights
All the lights have died
Slow dose of hell stripping what's left
Sleepless for days on end

And ingest life on all sides

I can't be reached in this soulless design
Capsized my insides, hours inch by
Inviting the lions to all take a piece
Destroyed by endless ends, looking to cease

Searching the city, to no avail
Can't find me anywhere, winds out of sail

I found myself in trenches tonight
Regret runs wild as darkness kills
All the lights
All the lights have died
Slow dose of hell stripping what's left
Sleepless for days on end

And ingest life on all sides

I can't be reached in this soulless design
Capsized my insides, hours inch by
Inviting the lions to all take a piece
Destroyed by endless ends, looking to cease

I need a search light to make amends
From the insides out, out, out, out, out
On the strength of its test
Full blooded sense of life, life, life, life, life

Ghosts remain on auto pilot
Looking to cancel out
Brief breath of air in darkness
Survive in doubt

I can't be reached in this soulless design
Capsized my insides, hours inch by
Inviting the lions to all take a piece
Destroyed by endless ends, looking to cease

And ingest life on all sides
And ingest life

Reviver lyrics - 36 Crazyfists

Another wave crashes down, found alone
They were always meant to... make amends

Another year comes crashing down
With all the weight and all the sound
Where the water exits high and leaves forgiven
It goes on and on and on

Wait, wait, can I get it back from this?
Unfold the lives, a haze dismissed
Where I couldn't remember
No I couldn't remember
The way I used to be

With this, always back alive
With this, always back alive
Left to write

I wait for angels, reappear (reappear)
To bring back bravery from fear (from fear)
And the silence, the grey
To resurface on us, and come what may

It took time to figure my escape
Withdraw pain and my distaste
When the battles became
More than I could take
And it goes on and on and on

Wait, wait, cause I'm coming back from this
Memories of life and loss exist
And I could always remember
Yes I will always remember
The way you used to be

With this, always back alive
With this, always back alive
Left to right

I wait for angels, reappear (reappear)
To bring back bravery from fear (from fear)
And the silence, the grey
To resurface on us, and come what may
And come what may!
And come what...

Head to the light, it's up to us, bring it!
Head to the light, it's up to us, bring it!
Fighting ourselves, just to break chains from
Fighting ourselves, just to break

I wait for angels, reappear
To bring back bravery from...(from fear!)

I wait for angels, reappear (reappear)
To bring back bravery from fear (from fear)
And the silence, the grey
To resurface on us, and come what may!

Caving In Spirals lyrics - 36 Crazyfists

I awoke to the sound of alarms
Delicate and caving in
Drenched in my own
This faith is coming with me

Days go by weary as we sleep
April has become the numbing heart I own
I'd bleed for this again and again and again

How I need for this candle to burn forever
Forever burn

Years go by and it's what I've learned
That no one's getting out alive
No one's getting out

To gather this romance
To hide from this wind, to love understatement
To hollow out the end

Days go by weary as we sleep
All the mercy I've begged at shames steps
I look for peace in this for peace in all of this

And how I need for this candle to burn forever
Forever burn

Years go by and it's what I've learned
That no one's getting out alive
No one's getting out
And this chance to live is grown in
I'm not the walking dead and I'll
I'll never, never be

Strayed from distance
Time sets forward the dark
A fine light to one's true self
In a den with believers my position in decent
The name familiar at the heart of it all
At the heart of it all

White noise comes with voice
I risk the promise of giving up then giving in

Years go by and it's what I've learned
That no one's getting out alive
No one's getting out
And this chance to live is grown in
I'm not the walking dead and I'll
I'll never, never be

The Deserter lyrics - 36 Crazyfists [feat. Brandon Davis]

Take deeps breaths in and gather the night
A hole that's hardly summed up by taking away
Time unlocks the stall
When there's nothing left to lose
Nothing can be lost

I don't know if anything has changed
But the hope of that changes everything
Hope builds change

Isn't the place of the plagues
That surrounds me and my open graves
But it's the fate of the haze
That put darkness in my way I escape

I escape darkness in my own way

Fatal has become the solid fight
Unending endings that loom into my darkest
Light unlocks my falls
When there's nothing left to lose
Nothing can be lost

I don't know if anything has changed
But the hope of that changes everything
Hope builds change

Isn't the place of the plagues
That surrounds me and my open graves
But it's the fate of the haze
That put darkness in my way I escape

I escape darkness in my own way
I escape darkness in my own way

[Solo]

I escape darkness in my own way
I escape darkness in my own way

I don't know if anything has changed
But the hope of that changes everything
Hope builds change

Isn't the place of the plagues
That surrounds me and my open graves
But it's the fate of the haze
That put darkness in my way I escape

I escape darkness in my own way
I escape darkness in my own way

Waterhaul II lyrics - 36 Crazyfists


No matter how many nights we kill to save
Fires to flames
Chasing me through the poison rain
I lied awake and ran it over and over
And over and over to the quiet memory
Misery
When I let it breathe
I found gloss in this sobriety

Running to lights, the sounds of hearts crashing
Hopeless and taken in defense of my screams
Each moment, each second we're alive
We expand, we retract moving forward
As we love, we love
Ascending to be loved
Avoiding the collapse
Avoiding the collapse

Avoiding the collapse
Avoiding the collapse
The collapse

The All Night Lights lyrics - 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.

THE ALL NIGHT LIGHTS

We Gave It Hell lyrics - 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...

The Back Harlow Road lyrics - 36 Crazyfists

Never above, Never below, Always beside

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

Never above, Never below, Always beside

Bot you can't make amends when no one lends a chance to make up a time to love.
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.
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.
This is everything that stands between the sky and the grave...

Clear The Coast lyrics - 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...

Waiting On A War lyrics - 36 Crasyfists

I am waiting on a war, this 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

Only A Year Or So... lyrics - 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 cant 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 wont 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 cant 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 wont 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.

Absent Are The Saints lyrics - 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 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

Vast And Vague lyrics - 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 an..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 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...

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.

When Distance Is The Closest Reminder lyrics - 36 Crazyfists

LET'S JUST PRETEND FOR A SECOND that nothings wrong and we've grabbed horizons by the throat and moved along
BYPASS EVERYTHING THAT DRAGGED US OUT INTO THE LIGHTS, and while your 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)

The city is our guide, all the way home, our guide home and how it used to be, (slowing down life within me) and how it used to be,
(slowing down life within me) avenge your thoughts, (reclaim) avenge your life (reclaim)

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.

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.

Northern November lyrics - 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 callin' 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 down

The voices are callin' 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 Tide And Its Takers lyrics - 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

I'll Go Until My Heart Stops lyrics - 36 Crazyfists


Between the seasons we find room.
And I like the way your lips turned legendary.
And I like the way the sun will come to light.

And I like the way your lips turned legendary.
And I like the way the sun will come to light.

But it won't be long until it's your very last goodbye.
Decide to make it hard to find, but make it.

And if you decide that you need a thousand heartaches,
a thousand heartaches,
and into this hotel room was the greatest mistake.
the greatest mistake.

And I want this all to be just necessary so when the darkness comes we won't need the light.
And I want this all to be just necessary so when the darkness comes we won't need the light.

But it won't be long until it's your very last goodbye.
Decide to make it, between the seasons we find room.

And if you decide that you need a thousand heartaches,
a thousand heartaches,
and into this hotel room was the greatest mistake.
the greatest mistake.

This is as real as it gets with weapons in hand.
We opt to not lay down our guns.

And if you decide that you need a thousand heartaches,
a thousand heartaches,
and into this hotel room was the greatest mistake.
the greatest mistake.

Between the seasons we find room to breathe out.
Between the seasons we find room to breathe out.

And if you decide that you,
And if you decide that you,
And if you decide that you,

Felt Through A Phone Line lyrics - 36 Crazyfists

So we went after the crash, we step out alone.
An undivided healing that swallows us whole.
The air cuts like glass and you taste like winter.
And how long will you last, forever...
And congratulations you've become what you wanted.
Stepping out of this car with that look in your eyes and knowing that you've never looked so beautiful.
Telephone lines away, death on the end and I'm screaming.
226 on the door, asking to make out while watching the war.
And nothing's like this exit, pale white skin on memory.
And I've got the proof to frame the way.
As we danced, we bled across the floor.
And that never-ending supply that we wished for.
It took me 14 hours to get this sore and knowing that you've never looked so beautiful.
25 days and I still can't get this right.
Telephone lines away, felt through a phone line

On Any Given Night lyrics - 36 Crazyfists

Could I be any further along when a room leaves nothing?
We close our eyes to avoid the sound.
You were traveling by an aeroplane over the ocean.
I was deciding the way to perform the rescue.
Could I be any more this way, done starting over.
The silence in you, and this could be, and this could be the hardest thing to leave without a single trace.
Here without you, I fall apart.
Sleeping in the water so warm in a dream so stalking.
Dancing in darkness with the air so alive, believing.
I have been here more than I'd like to, but it's the only way I know how to rescue.
Wake me up {when it's over}.
Turn down the lights, don't wait for me,
{we'll place these stars inside our hearts},
I'm pretty sure I won't be coming home tonight.

Elysium lyrics - 36 Crazyfists

And in the harbor she sleeps on her anchor waiting direction.
Then through the storms we align life and search forever after.
So we gather our way to answer all of our failures, with hope and redemption.
Rest inside the flames.
Continue the chase through the darkest.
Across the mouth and into this ocean, we see through skin to never forget.
When all hope is lost and hearts turn to lock, set your sights to improve.
Don't let the lights turn out.
This watery grave, inside every page.
Avoiding, avoiding. Don't let the lights turn out.
And Rest Inside The Flames.

The Great Descent lyrics - 36 Crazyfists

I wrote this story so many days ago, and the words kept falling onto pages.
Without the loss we can't go on, and with the loss we became strong.
It's how it is, as we stare it down.
Oh my god do I think that this is the end of everything.
When everything inside wants me to feel like this is normal.
And in the quiet, the silence screams aloud. And the panic resides along our inners.
And with the tragedy we go, pushing the hell so far below.
Desperate hands cover my face.
So stay calm this way in case we're needed for emergency.
And if we are we'll be prepared for action.
This is how it's supposed to be.
Somebody better call a doctor.
And maybe this could be the end of everything that we want. Don't panic.
And from a distance it seems that the water will wash panic away.
Oh my lord, believe.
There's no need for emergency, but in case there is, distract it.
If this is the great descent, I won't be running for the exits.

Midnight Swim lyrics - 36 Crazyfists

It's a midnight swim, where it is late and the air is all clear.
And I remember that evening, you on the floor, I was attached to the ceiling.
Look behind, that glass in your mouth, it's what I am due for.
The sun will set tonight on all the lonely dreamers, only to rise again so we can start it over.
And you were right when you whispered in my ear and it all became so clear.
It's gonna be alright, everything will be alright even if the city ignites.
Now to get back to the room where there's windows as large as the city below.
Bring me down to the safe.
Unlock all of me, until then...
We'll start it again so we can start it over.
The sun will set tonight

Aurora lyrics - 36 Crazyfists


Are you comfortable with the skin you're in?
Are you screaming loud enough to be important?
Are you following the path that you thought you would or wouldn't?
And you backed it all along when you're pulling from what's inside; it's honest there.
It took all these nights alone.
Alone we are.
Aurora, don't leave me out.
Your lipstick-stained life is arriving.
So at ease with the night that we drove along.
From the top of the hill where we conquer.
And the stop where we claim our life, our place, forever.
And we dreamt it all along, from the nights when the line stayed alive, we shared.
In hope I speak your name for closure.
By a thread we'll hang, to never give in.
Tonight may be the last night in these shoes.

Will Pull This In By Hand lyrics - 36 crazyfists

There will be many nights alone to pour the kerosene.
Scissors cut harness free, the spotlight on the bed of the serene.
And when you call me out in victory.
It's been a long night, and I still came up missing.
And I touch to believe.
I gather my faith to help me sleep.
Stare deep from the south.
Watermarked and straightened all out.
Lions spit broken teeth when armies of insects surround.
And when you call me out in victory, come call me out and gather me.
Hearts tear out in victory

We Cannot Deny lyrics - 36 Crazyfists

What I would give for memories that wouldn't keep me up at night.
We cannot deny.
It's a shame that all we have is a memory that cannot kill the fear.
And get out get out alive.
You won't find any comfort here.
When I begin.
And I may have friends, some of them the best that any man has ever known.
But they have troubles; they have troubles all their own.
In the wake of all the terror and the hell, I am constantly reminded all the crosses that I bear.
And if you never knew then keep it buried.

Between The Anchor And The Air lyrics - 36 Crazyfists

I hate choking on past words, I swim upstream.
The ones to never ever let you try.
Blackout, clear hearts won't counteract; see through the dirt in your eyes.
You must stand on battle lines if you want to own blue skies.
Situations have turned the tide, the waters caving cast aside.
And you were barely coming through, but yet it's you, the one to never ever let you die.
Blackout, clear hearts won't counter act; see through the death in our lives.
And since the dance floor has come to shine, the time has come to light the night.
Unearth the things that you're afraid of.
Takes more than death in our lives.

The City Ignites lyrics - 36 Crazyfists

It's a midnight swim, where it is late and the air is all clear.
And I remember that evening, you on the floor, I was attached to the ceiling.

Look behind, that glass in your mouth, it's what I am due for.
The sun will set tonight on all the lonely dreamers, only to rise again so we can start it over.
And you were right when you whispered in my ear and it all became so clear.

It's gonna be alright, everything will be alright even if the city ignites.

Look behind, that glass in your mouth, it's what I am due for.
The sun will set tonight on all the lonely dreamers, only to rise again so we can start it over, start it again

Now to get back to the room where there's windows as large as the city
The sun will set tonight on all the lonely dreamers, only to rise again so we can start it over, start it again

At The End Of August lyrics - 36 Crazyfists


So I lit lanterns,
To light up all these words,
Looking back I know
It's what I'd die for.
And through all of this life,
Smashed away all the strife,
A friendship I paint, untouchable.

Crawling from the floor,
I've been there before.
There I was staring
Back at the bottom.
Let's just make this clear,
It came from these tears.
Carved across our chest, loyalty.

And with the new light,
There was young hope.
To underline the meaning,
And carve our names in.

At the end of August, the end of...
At the end of August, the end of...
I'll never replace the ones I first made, Jesus, does anyone?

So I lit lanterns,
To light up all these words,
Looking back I know
It's what I'd die for.
And through all of this life,
Smashed away all the strife,
A friendship I paint, untouchable.

And with the new light,
There was young hope.
To underline the meaning,
And carve our names in.

At the end of August, the end of...
At the end of August, the end of...
I'll never replace the ones I first made, Jesus, does anyone?

Crawling from the floor,
I've been there before.
It's biggest fear, loyalty.

And I want you to know
How all of you made me,
How all of you saved me and...
I'll never replace the ones I first made, Jesus, does anyone?

At the end of August, the end of...
At the end of August, the end of...
I'll never replace the ones I first made, Jesus, does anyone?

Crawling from the floor,
I've been there before.
There I was staring
Back at the bottom.
Let's just make this clear,
It came from these tears.
Carved across our chest, loyalty.
Loyalty! loyal!

The Heart And The Shape lyrics - 36 Crazyfists

Just went through your eyes,
And the battle was fine.
Couldn't stand to see you streaming.
Now I realize that I might have been
Part of the reason for your frowning.

And so I grey the heart and the shape,
That look that you gave, staring.
At empty help me back to awake.
And so I grey the heart and the shape.

Now the bottle plays a little factor.
Not the way I used to be, thankfully.
I was disguising a different matter,
Now I engage in everything, infinity...

Help me back to awake.
There were sentences with no direction,
Those are pieces that I put away.
There is sadness in the reflection,
One long look is all that it takes.

Bloodwork lyrics - 36 Crazyfists

Here is your broken character, the one left of heaven.
Scissors cut him from the page, example,
Continue to read not to retrace the steps, touch me.
The hemorrhaging has ceased, has ceased.

And I swallow these capsules, to regain my grip.
And I swallowed myself sick. And I inherited my health.

Here is your wake and smile, that you seem to need.
The safe and the touch, and the unweave.
Right where you placed it the night before,
Saint checks in to make sure,
You're right where you say that you are,
Right where you are.

They all seemed so truthful,
They all seemed so true.
Couldn't find a better way to lie.

Kenai lyrics - 36 Crazyfists

Over mountains I feel safe,
Sacred were those summers.
And these memories I place in my heart for shelter.
And I modify, just to smell the ocean.
And I underline, visualizing motion.

And I guess I miss my home,
I could not stay.
I'll return, it's alright, I'm ok.

Reoccured daydream, tie up stern first.
And these gifts I've learned, never leave me.
And I redesign, family and growing.
And I realign, forgetting nothing.

Maybe in a few years it'll come back to you,
Reflection becoming your virtue.
So sort me out, lay me away.
Over these mountains I feel safe.
And bless the sound, return the day.
Over these mountains I feel safe.

Skin And Atmosphere lyrics - 36 Crazyfists

Think I'll rename my heart, the calendar.
'Cause it'll surely know just when to end.
And I've been looking at you through the telephone,
As the photograph whispers that she isn't even home.
So alone, I bleed myself right in.
Unusual here breathing, inviting the silence.

But you're not here,
You're nowhere near at all.
Just skin and atmosphere.
And if it's not what you wanted,
Better get out now.
Alone it takes me,
Underneath it'll surely break me.
Underneath these things.

Twenty some years my parents let themselves leave.
I always swore that would never, ever be me.
And now you're looking at me through a new lens,
Your voice on the end doesn't understand anything, nor do I.
Paper cuts for me.

Prove me wrong, I want you to prove me wrong.

Song For The Fisherman lyrics - 36 Crazyfists

There were thousands of days
As we traveled down North Road,
And I remember my uncle on his last day,
And how I would kill to shake his hand again.
And on goes the battle of years upon years.
My Father's eyes bring me solace,
And his look of focus I try to instill.
As my Mother reads as an example
Of strength beyond strength,
And with her I became me.
There are two girls
With whom I've known longer than anyone,
And my debt to them is Lifetime.
The gathering of boys I rely on,
Know exactly who they are
And I will build their protection with bloody hands.
Some were dealt knuckles and some delivered kisses,
But initially my heart was in the right place.
There are times when being engulfed by mountains
Are the only signs of safety I know.
And I realize I think this way out of neglection
And at the exact thought I reclaim those days of scenery.
There are places like the bluffs in Kasilof
And the gravel pits in Sand Lake,
That most of us will never forget.
Those are the things I wanted to speak of,
Those are the things that I dream about,
Those are the things that I will definitely die with,
AND THIS IS THE SONG FOR THE FISHERMAN.

With Nothing Underneath lyrics - 36 Crazyfists

You should've called out,
Made amends, broken hearts breathe unison.
I was trying to gather mine.
All my tragedies are my enemies,
All my enemies are mine.

And we carry on, just to lighten the load.

Never had I been such outsider,
Eyes of the blamed,
While I was trying to reclaim.
All my tragedies are my enemies,
All my enemies are mine.

And we carry on,
Just to lighten the load,
And silently we sleep with nothing underneath.

With weary hands and driven nails,
I begin to rebuild myself.
The bruises uncover the scene,
The taste of the clean.

And we carry on, outlasting,
Just to lighten the load,
Silently we sleep
With nothing underneath.

With your voice I keep you.
Never used like this gently.

Destroy The Map lyrics - 36 Crazyfists

You couldn't hold your mouth to stop the sound,
With all these riches on the tip of your tongue,
And I was trying to dampen it all out.

You were talking louder than I should here,
Producing nothing but all these mirrors,
And I was trying to play it all down.

With eyes of blood,
These kisses won't rust.
Where the baptized drown,
We used to breathe.

Underneath the red,
Come running back to me.

Sad song, so wrong,
Your body shakes for so long,
Towing me down.
Let's just stay late,
A safe bet for second place.
This time, our time, we have, we'll last.

That evil, a brutal sickness brings,
At times you can't let go
It chases you from everything.
To settle for almost anything,
It's times like these
When you should only choose just not to speak.

And the clouds don't break when the sun is on empty

Installing The Catheter lyrics - 36 Crazyfists

Through the long sleep,
Darkness bleeds,
Through the silver and I,
Reminded the layout as the wings,
They all died.
And it all hates like you,
Destroys the message.

Another open eye to secrets,
With plans to scrape them clean.
And I have stacked them
Higher then anyone believed.
And it downplays the scene,
It all comes crashing.

Don't be removed,
I got you where I said
That I would always put you.
And I'm heading for the bottom of you.

Come and take me over,
The lights have been removed,
With pieces at ankles, we answered.
And it all tastes like you,
And all it captures.

Take on me as long as you think
That you can handle,
And taking me to truth
And tearing me from scandal.
And it all saves like you,
Define disaster.

And I don't die like you,
Tormented skies,
Treated to taste and outlast the sun.
I design what ails.

Coldest of the cold stay outside,
Bring on harm's way.

Waterhaul lyrics - 36 Crazyfists

Press skin into skin,
Just a fraction to gather the senses.
Still locking in mine, design,
Just a scrape to uncover the evidence.
You won't remove me, not anymore.

So here we are, now it's obvious.
Candle lit to divide all your areas.
And inside all your barriers,
I'm defending my lines to ignite...
And I'll be this way forever.

Inside the locks hide,
So my faith can come outside and shine.
Besides it's why all these miles of road won't divide.
You won't remove me, not anymore.

And now it's where the secret's pushed behind,
With the lanterns to burn this inside.
And up there A SNOW-CAPPED ROMANCE where,
Everything we build will come from our eyes...
And I'll be this way forever.

Sad Lisa lyrics - 36 Crazyfists

[Japanese Bonus Track]

She hangs her head and cries on my shirt
She must be hurt very badly
Tell me what's making you sad, Li?
Open your door, don't hide in the dark
You're lost in the dark, you can trust me
'Cause you know that's how it must be

Lisa, Lisa, sad Lisa, Lisa

Her eyes like windows, trickle in rain
Upon her pain getting deeper
Though my love wants to relieve her
She walks alone from wall to wall
Lost in her hall, she can't hear me
Though I know she likes to be near me

Lisa, Lisa, sad Lisa, Lisa

She sits in a corner by the door
There must be more I can tell her
If she really wants me to help her
I'll do what I can to show her the way
And maybe one day I will free her
Though I know no one can see her

Lisa, Lisa, sad Lisa, Lisa

Turns To Ashes lyrics - 36 Crazyfists

I'm not sick, I'm just a boy
Sifting through the newfound lie
And I'll be crawling through these ashes and dissecting all these flies
Since the sun has died and it is still somewhat July

Is this all the world has to offer?

And I don't know how much you thought I'd be
It turns to ashes on me

One more piece inside these lines
Deeper harms my disguise
And everyone is different so everyone is sly
And everything's still horrible since everyone still dies

Is this all the world has to offer?

And I don't know how much you thought I'd be
It turns to ashes on me

Is this all the world has to offer?
It turns to ashes on me

No one is safe
