Live In The Lou Bassassins

Story Of The Year Live In The Lou Bassassins Lyrics
1.And The Hero Will Drown

The night will come and rip away
Her wings of innocence through every word we say
Maybe it's time to spit out the core
Of our rotting union hopefully before it chokes us to our senses

I guess it's too bad that everything we have is taken away

Swim in the smoke
The hero will drown
Intoxicating beauty tears everything down
But still our hands are bound at the wrists
This romantic tragedy is suffocating from your fist in a sea of
fire

I guess it's too bad that everything we have is taken away
I guess it's too bad that everything we have is taken away

Hero hero
this word you'll never know
Hero hero
this word you'll never know
you'll never know

I guess it's too bad that everything we have is taken away
I guess it's too bad that everything we have is taken away
I guess it's too bad that everything we have is taken away
I guess it's too bad that everything we have is taken away

away away away they're taking it away
away away they're taking it away


2.Divide And Conquer

Does the shadow live forever?
Will this graveyard be the dance floor for these corpses?
Will they be the first to fall and dance the night away?
(Dance the night away)

Why do we do this to ourselves?
We're buying every word they sell (they sell)

Starving loved ones carry our guns
Take a look at what we've become
Hungry nations standing in the ashes of our enemies' remains
(enemies' remains)

Why do we do this to ourselves
We're buying every word they sell
Why do we do this to ourselves
We're buying every word that they sell (they sell)

So we dance the night away
So we dance the night away
So we dance the night away
So we dance the night away
The night away

Why do we do this to ourselves
We're buying every word they sell
Why do we do this to ourselves
We're buying every word that they sell
Every word they sell
Every word they sell
Every word they sell


3.Dive Right In

So here I go
I'll dive right in
Break through the waves
Straight to the ocean floor

And although my hands are shaking,
I lie perfectly still
Cause I'm determined
To let myself sink down

And I know, I'm buried too far down
To feel the warmth from the sun again
I could wave my arms and swim away,
but never reach the shore

But for now I will lay
face first in the sand
with the wreckage from ships that lost their way

And I know, I'm buried too far down
To feel the warmth from the sun again

And I know, I'm buried too far down
To feel the warmth from the sun again

And although my hands are shaking,
I lie perfectly still
Cause I'm determined
To let myself sink down

And I know, I'm buried too far down
To feel the warmth from the sun again
And I know that I'm buried now I'm buried
to far down to ever feel to ever feel the sun
again the sun again the warmth from the sun again


4.Anthem Of Our Dying Day

The stars will cry the blackest tears tonight
And this is the moment that I live for
I can smell the ocean air
Here I am, pouring my heart onto these rooftops
Just a ghost to the world
That's exactly, exactly what I need

From up here, the city lights burn
Like a thousand miles of fire
And I'm here to sing this anthem of our dying day

For a second, I wish the tide
Will swallow every inch of the city
As you gasp for air tonight
I'd scream this song right in your face, if you were here
Swear I won't miss a beat
Cause I never, never have before

From up here, the city lights burn
Like a thousand miles of fire
And I'm here to sing this anthem of our dying day

Of our dying day
Of our dying day
Of our dying day

For a second, I wish the tide
Would swallow every inch of this city
As you gasped for air tonight

From up here, the city lights burn
Like a thousand miles of fire
And I'm here to sing this anthem of our dying day

From up here, the city lights burn
Like a thousand miles of fire
And I'm here to sing this anthem of our dying day

From up here, the city lights burn
Like a thousand miles of fire
And I'm here to sing this anthem of our dying day

Our dying day
Of our dying day


5.Page Avenue

I still I still recall every summer night like it was yesterday
The time would never end and my friends were family
Nothing mattered more than the loyalty we had
Now I'm a world away from everything we shared

I had something better waiting ahead
I try to take control of my heart
I had something better
But I'll tear it down and I'll tape it up by my own design
I fall

Bring back the days
Three story parking lot
The air is never dry
As the city falls asleep, days bleed into the night
The table set the stage for a life of memories
But I'm a world away from everything

I had something better waiting ahead
I try to take control of my heart
I had something better
But i'll tear it down and I'll tape it up by my own design
I fall

I fall apart as time passes by
I fall apart but the memories never die

I still recall every summer night
It seems like yesterday
But I'm still a world away
recall every summer night like it was yesterday


6.Falling Down

Now I can taste the war that I've been fighting
Start to fall but I'm still standing here behind the wall of
dying faith
I can't forget the fight that's growing stronger
Face to face with hopes of longer days to build on something we
should save

I stand alone
I'm on my own
My hands will bleed (my hands will bleed)
I'm holding on to what is gone
What's left of me?

I'm falling down
But I should find my strength in this
A light that burns to reconnect my heart for what it's meant to
give

I stand alone
I'm on my own
My hands will bleed
I'm holding on to what is gone
What's left of me

Walk, fall, stand again, so I can
Walk, fall, stand again, so I can
Walk, fall, stand again, so I can
Fall

I stand alone
I'm on my own
My hands will bleed
I'm holding on to what is gone
What's left of me


7.Burning Years

Its not what you will say
its what you have done
To let this come between us
You're right, without a fight
It might be worth it to you
and in the process, gotten to me

I think that nothing can fly with this broken wing
There's so much to hold on to now
Nothing can fly with this broken wing
So, heres a gift, in this feather

You've gone too far
I'm not standing alone
Lets sort this out together
You're right, without a fight
this might be worth it to you
but i can't take this anymore

From this house of our friendship
shut the door and light the match
throw behind you
Walk away
You burn it town
These ashes burn


8.The Heart of Polka Is Still Beating

This heart is bleeding desperation
And these dreams, they're still worth fighting for
Cause in my eyes this is the only thing that I fucking have
And I will never let this go

This love is something that will never die
And this blood still running through our veins
But your words, you know they never came from the fucking heart
And I will be there to watch you fall apart

With the blood of the main frame
And with the heart of the system
Still you throw it all away
Everything starts with you

And now this time
The words will be straight from the heart
You can't fake the life that was never there
And this is reason you're not going to stand up
And make this life mean more to you

With the blood of the main frame
And with the heart of the system
Still you throw it all away
Everything starts with you
With you

Every reaction sparks reaction
And every movement, it starts with you
And every reaction it sparks reaction
And every movement, it starts now with you
It starts with you..
With you..

With the blood of the main frame
And with the heart of the system
Still you throw it all away
Everything starts with you

With the blood..
With the blood..
Everything it all starts right now
With you..
It starts with you..
It starts with you..


9.Sidewalks

The bridges all crumbled
The water soaks into rocks
That fell at the bottom of the road
(At the end of town)
The town that we lived in
The memories shaken apart
From the weeds that grow

Over the sidewalks
Running away from the streets we knew
Sidewalks
Like the time we thought was made for you, oh

Out on the front porch
Watching the cars as they go by
(Eighteen blue, twenty-one gray)
Looking ahead
For the first time that we could drive
Out on our own
To speed away

From the sidewalks
Running away from the streets we knew
Sidewalks
Like the time we thought was made for you, oh

All of the days have passed us by
And all of the sun is gone away

Sidewalks
Running away from
The streets we knew

Sidewalks
Running away from the streets we knew
Sidewalks
Like the time we thought was made for you
The bridges all crumbled
The water soaks into rocks
That fell at the bottom of the road

11.Until The Day I Die

Until the day I die
I'll spill my heart for you, for you
Until the day I die
I'll spill my heart for you

As years go by
I race the clock with you
But if you die right now
You know that I'd die to
I'd die too

You remind me of the times
When I knew who I was
But still the second hand will catch us
Like it always does

We'll make the same mistakes
I'll take the fall for you
I hope you need this now
Cause I know I still do

Until the day I die
I'll spill my heart for you
Until the day I die
I'll spill my heart for you

Should I bite my tongue
Until blood soaks my shirt
We'll never fall apart
Tell me why this hurts so much

My hands are at your throat
And I think I hate you
But still we'll say, 'Remember when'
Just like we always do, just like we always do

Until the day I die
I'll spill my heart for you
Until the day I die
I'll spill my heart for you
Yeah, I'd spill my heart
Yeah, I'd spill my heart for you

My hands are at your throat
And I think I hate you
We made the same mistakes
Mistakes like friends do
My hands are at your throat
And I think I hate you
We made the same mistakes

Until the day I die
I'll spill my heart for you, for you

Until the day I die
I'll spill my heart for you, for you
Until the day I die
I'll spill my heart for you

Until the day I die
Until the day I die


12.In The Shadows

We both take the hardest punches
and collect black eyes just to prove it
Still we pass by just like strangers
and we speak just like the closest enemies (enemies)

woah
in the shadows of our lives
we can fall into the night unscarred
woah
in the shadows of our lives
we can never let it go this far

So how my words rendered useless
still I'll pull my lip down to my chest
Just to show you how my jaw is
tired from waiting to say the things that you should hear
You should hear.

woah
in the shadows of our lives
we can fall into the night unscarred
woah
in the shadows of our lives
we can never let it go this far

After all
we're still the same
These empty promises
seem to never change

Theres a smile on my face and its 2:55am
This cramp in my wrist puts me back to sleep 'till it all comes
around again...

woah
in the shadows of our lives
we can fall into the night unscarred
woah
in the shadows of our lives
we can never let it go this far
