Twelve Stories Down

Up For Nothing Twelve Stories Down Lyrics
1.Can't Get Away

I want a fresh start, a moment to reflect on
Two thousand dreams destroyed
And then my mind starts feeling that it's time I start leaving
Everything I ever once enjoyed
It's always the short end that ends up in my hands
And it's always gonna be this way
My visions distorted my mind can't run away from the everyday
routines in store

Can't get away from the scenery I see everyday
Can't get away from these moments that I had today
Can't get away from the negativity in my brain
Can't get away from the days coming after me

I want the worlds scars to show up in my thoughts
So the imperfections come on out today
And them my mind starts felling that it's time I stat seeing
Everything the way that it's supposed to be
Time rests it's head on the shoulders of the dead
And together they count down to till the end
The hours are stolen the dreams are never dreamt
And together we live the time we spend.

Can't get away from the scenery I see everyday
Can't get away from these moments that I had today
Can't get away from the negativity in my brain
Can't get away from the days coming after me

Can't get away I'm staring down the path of the end
Can't get away I find it harder not to be who I am
Can't get away I'm trapped inside a world of formality
Can't get away from the days taking over me


2.The Slouch


You ran to the point of no re entrance
And now the time has come for everyone else to see this
A mind full of regrets, a mouth full of shit
Either plan this shit out right or fucking deal with it

Experience is gone theres no place left to go but home
Through loss comes life alone
Experience is gone and theres no place left to go but home
Through loss comes life alone

Come and take the pain away from how you will end this
It's time for you to see the cold hearted bastard
Your mind has fucking lost itself, your mouths full of shit
Your heart stopped beating on the day you turned you back on it

I can't believe it's all been done
It's hard to achieve the strength in strong
And I've got a friend within my soul
And I will be fine here on my own


3.After Midnight

These nights to myself won't be the same
My thoughts awakened my life's untamed
I fought a full regression with mind and soul
A fight I choose so that I'm no longer

Falling away through time spent believing that someday will find
me
Somethings never change
As life passes by like a bullet that cuts through the walls of
this place
And I've never seen something as beautiful as the smile on your
face
When thoughts after midnight take down all the worthless in me

I've learned from my mistakes
These days won't be the same

I said tonights the only night
I've got to set these problems right
Hats off to all that used to be
Time for a chance of scenery
Now we'll see that whats standing through the change in tides is
meant to be
A life of making the most of whats given to me

I've learned from my mistakes
These days won't be the same

These nights to myself won't be the same
My thoughts awakened your life's so tame
You've got a full regression of mind and soul
Holding on like a curse and now you're

Finding a way through tough times and all riding waves of
retraction
Through life's better days
You make for yourself and you take someone else through your
world of disgrace
Not a minute goes by with me taking the time to see whats behind
me
Cause I only can see what I've yet to achieve and its all there
in me


4.Destruction

Woken up this morning by destruction raging through the day
You're never fucking waking up again
I can't say that I could've lived a better way
You'll never fucking see another day
Close your eyes real tight and find what you believe
Think strong and die strong, fight through and hold on
Hold my hand real tight and together we can rest in peace
Think strong and die strong, fight through an hold on

My aspirations falling down along the way
A million thoughts of whats been lost are raging through the day
So rage on and bring me the courage to
Stay strong and lead us into our eternity

Scared to death this morning I've seen what no ones ever seen
My body from a birds eye view and
Tomorrows never coming, I'm proud of who I came to be
And I'll always fucking keep that with me
Close your eyes real tight and find what you believe
Think strong and die strong, fight through and hold on
Hold my hand real tight and together we can rest in peace
Live strong together, die young together

Grab all your thoughts as your words hit the floor
Glass shatters up the stairs your futures out the door
Your clinging to the thought of living through today
You mind is flashing better times you'll never get to see

We can't Live for tomorrow we only have today
Find time for your thoughts and believe to find a way
We can't live for tomorrow we only have today
Stay true to yourself and let go
We cant live for tomorrow we only have today
Find time for your thoughts and believe to find a way
We cant live for tomorrow we only have today
Stay true to the end and let go


5.All We Need

It's been a hard time leaving what I've become
Just find your place and all is won
Another line from book of what we need to be

I've been trapped inside the veins of what I'm ready to find
Knee deep in vines I cut through barely alive
And now I'm forced to believe that these days are gone forever

And I can't seem to remember what caused the change
Now I find it hard to keep it all packed away
I can define my own forever and start a war inside today
That I'm losing to the wrath of my memory

Desires been the one holding on to last of me
Ready down goes the sounds of last to leave
Hold on the image strong, hold tight hold on forever

I found the new days leading the old this time
A sight for all the sorest eyes, a new light in the dark is all
we need

Remember your world is always in your hands
Have you ever thought life would last you
Forever means nothing in the end if you want it to

Your mind is always the only thing you need
This is your only shot now so make it count
Because we all fall inside, I'm breaking outside
I've got a lifetime to forget what I've been told

What I've been told is wishing for me to make the worst mistakes
I've been sleepless, speechless, mislead, force-fed, into a life
I dread


6.Motives For Arson

Can't find the words to say to you, can't find the heart to feel
for you
I can't hide it, you mean nothing to me
And as time goes on my hatreds growing stronger everyday
And if a house represented your life then I'd burn it down
tonight
And draw the shadow of my face with the remains

I may be tired but not defeated
I'll give it all til I get what I deserve to see
Revenge, enough to get me by through the darkness tonight
I'm moving onward to feel completed
You gave me your best shot I gave you what I came for
Revenge enough to satisfy the hate I have tonight

What a great start, a plan of mending
A perfect start to another morbid ending
Now we're face to face with no more patience
A battle lost is a battle won in this case
You fear that times consumption sees through your words
A blank thought thats raised confusion inside your world

Time stands still when your words confused and your running out
of things to say
I've seen you hold your head up high, I've seen you fall to the
ground
Now I've seen you burn alive as you fell to the fires in hell.


7.Says It All

Hey, hey!!!!


8.Mark Of The Beast

Look at how blinded you've become
You couldn't even see my fist till it was fucking up your face
I'm tired of all your fucking up
Your negativity has brought you straight to hell where you can

Burn all your bullshit, and die from what you did

Look at the asshole you've become
Swim with your lies as weights and drown with all your pissing
on
I can't say that I never saw this all in you
I've seen your future thrown away

Your never gonna say that things deserve to be this way
A coward running far away from hints of your mistakes
Believe me when I say that I am far from done with you
The fire still burns inside my soul and forever in hell where
you can

Burn all your bullshit, and die from what you did


9.Behind The Wheel

We play in a punk rock band and we're rockin through state lines
Ten nights eight guys and one van all the ambition in the world
We're driving though New Jersey, Philly then off to Buscemi
Mellencamp lessons in Beach Grove

What a ride through the heart of the city
Singing songs at the top of our lungs
It's been a hell of a ride having the times of our lives
Through the days, and living dreams all through the night
As the sun goes down the night's taken over my soul
And as the music plays theres no holding back at all

We're on our way heading up and down the interstate
Only to find the one true passion of our lives
Head on full steam the only thing we'll ever need
Is our hearts to feel the love that comes behind the wheel

Acoustic night to fill in for canceled Orlando
Next stop is Jacksonville walking through the drive through
Vinnie's cousin Amanda Has found us fantastic place to stay
Next stop is RVA and tattoos on both wrists for memories

We're driving back up the northern roads to make our way back
Down the streets we we always called our home to plan the next
one
These are the times we hold close to us rest stops, punk rock
engulfing us
A true song and the hopes of where we'll go as the road takes us
to the next show

We're driving back down the south east coast
We're driving back out to the west coast


10.Twelve Stories Down

We're going up to the twelfth story going down on Friday night
I can't believe what we go through every time we start to get
this right
Fall fast and impact slowly we'll never see another Saturday
night
It seems we've done all we could to try to bring you what we
burn inside

It's twelve past the fall and we survived today
And through the pain of it all you never once turned your backs
away
When contemplating the ending of our times our days were lost
And we played through it all

The passion breathes through our soul fights to the death unites
through chords
Can't forget singing along live times of what we wanna know

We're setting up, we're going on shortly
Blasting music on a Friday night
I lose myself in every song that we go through
I'm feeling stronger as the time goes by

Songs are fast and impact slowly
We're rocking through another Saturday night
We owe the words of the songs to the ones that
Spend their weekend singing every line

Every time we feel like giving up you'll always be right here
Through all our fears you'll find a way
You'll find a way where we belong live for ourselves live
through our song
When we need you you'll be sincere we'll find you here thats why
we're here
We'll find you here where we belong live for ourselves live
through our song
When the view from the top seemed like a never ending dream of
endless pain
We'll find a place where we belong live for ourselves live
through our song
I turned and heard the sounds of the chords singing me awake


11.When The Clock Strikes Twelve

Where will you end up when the clock strikes twelve
A story in the world that no-one ever lives to tell
Your the first to complain and the last to make a change
I'm the last to let go with the fire in my soul

Slow and steady wins the race I'm gonna spit your words back
in-your-face
Now theres a time to walk and theres a time to fight
I'm gonna play this out until I get it right
Silence has replaced the fear that the world counts down and end
is near
Now the bombs are falling down with tides and thunder
If we don't die first we'll kill each other

Over and over my mind goes through the end
Will the ocean, wind, or terror threats win our thoughts from
now to then
I want a peaceful night with a side of life to live on my own
time
And if I fall before my time to go I gonna live before I die

I never wanted this to be
A life thats been taken from me
Can't close my eyes and run away
From all the lives that fell before they could become themselves

Slow and steady wins the race I'm gonna spit your words back in
your face
There was a time to see the way the world should be
Those days are what you'll never get to see
Violence has replaced the fear now the world counts down and the
end is near
When the world is falling down you start to wonder
If the life you lived, lived through another


12.On The Rise


Up on the rise no way to slow down
We're taking up shop we'll sleep when we die

Raise the stakes run in the fire with everything we are
We're fighting through the hard times
We're finally making good time against our fate, against our
fate
Everything we lost makes us understand
That we take what we got and make the best of our
Everyday it's all we got now against our fate, against our fate

We're on a mission
To be the ones that never gave up what we achieved
And be the only ones still standing

We're on a mission
We built the strength in ourselves to continue to be
The only one still standing

Raise the stakes run in the fire with everything we are
We live a life outside our own and now we built our place
Forevers today, forevers today
With this shortened fuse we'll lose if we don't take a chance
So we'll take what we got and make the most of our everyday
And save regrets for another day, another day

We're on a mission
To be the ones that never gave up what we achieved
And be the only ones still standing

We built strength inside ourselves and we're still standing

You've hit the bottom when you stop digging down
The catalyst for change is in me, and you try to run
When you point your finger and form it into a gun
Take aim, admit we've changed
And I see where it's me
But you stand by and only would want to agree
Your going to see

Up on the rise no way to slow down
We're taking up shop we'll sleep when we die

When all is said and done you either fold or you become
We found in life what makes our hearts break through
We're on the rise

A long road to carry on riding blindly for so long
Now we're on the path that breaks us through
We're on the rise, we're on the rise
