Nerve Endings lyrics - The Color Morale

(Dreams are forever reoccurring!)

(If life is what happens
When we can't fall asleep,
We need to build one another's perches.
Your family and friends
Will always stab you in the front.
The end result
Is not one damned thing after another,
It's one damned thing over and over.
We aren't contempt
And this is how we learn!)

Don't you see it's time
To let go of everything?
That's keeping us from the truth,
Keeping me from you.
So what good are all the pictures
If they have yet to get the frames?
Leave the past in the past
And focus on what you don't want framed.

(Dreams are forever reoccurring!)

And life is what happens
When we can't fall asleep.
And dreams are the same thing
As nightmares.

Don't you see it's time
To let go of everything?
That's keeping us from the truth,
Keeping me from you.
So what good are all the pictures
If they have yet to get the frames?
Leave the past in the past
And focus on what you don't want framed.

Leave your past in the past
We don't have to keep
All the mistakes he's made.

(You are keeping me awake!)
Leave your past behind you

(Dreams are forever reoccurring!)

Human(s) Being lyrics - The Color Morale

This is the real world in real time
And I am sick of rendering
So toss your seeds on cement
And see if they can grow alone

There is a reason behind weeds
When walls are broken we can break
Through them all
To see what continues to grow

It's hard to see humility
Because humanity is lead by us men
And we all need exorcisms and exercising
{were} born with two sides and need to stay in shape

You're so insecure standing in your own skin
Someday you won't need it

And I can't do this on my own
And I will always be an imperfect human just being me, just being me
And I will always be an imperfect human being me
Stop worrying about where you've been because it brought you back to me

It's hard to see humility
Because humanity is lead by us men
And we all need exorcisms and exercising
{were} born with two sides and need to stay in shape

And we can be delivered even if it's late
Being late is okay if we reach our destination

I am not afraid to die
I am not afraid to die
I am terrified of life
I am terrified

I am not afraid to die
I am not afraid to die
I am terrified of life
I am terrified

You're so insecure standing in your own skin
Someday you won't need it anymore
I will walk alone

The Dying Hymn lyrics - The Color Morale

So go ahead and turn away
See where it gets you in the long run.
I'm trying my hardest to grow
When its embedded in your bones
It grows with.

Are we all punished
For sins of fathers.
It seems so pointless
To have an existence
In a world misused.

It seems so pointless
To have an opinion
When yours is never true.

Just try to imagine
A life without love
But death has its hold on us.

So think upon beauty
Its like painting a picture
When everything's shaded in grey
And even when we've been face to face
We have never seen eye to eye
So take a good look in mine
Its a window to a soul that knows not why.

You cant continue this direction
It's detours and dead ends.
Don't join this kind of company
Unless your joining to fight.
Fight for your life.

Losing the fight
Is getting knocked down
And staying there.

Losing the fight
Is getting knocked down
And staying there.

So why do I turn away
Its getting me nowhere.
Nowhere in the long run

Just try to imagine
A life without love
But death has its hold on us.

So think upon beauty
Its like painting a picture
When everything's shaded in grey
And even when we've been face to face
We have never seen eye to eye
So take a good look in mine
Its a window to a soul that knows not why.

The world can't make you faithless
When faith is first.

Where is your faith?

Be Longing Always lyrics - The Color Morale

(I've got my father's teeth
And my mother's bite marks.
We are all victims of consequence.
And we can built it or tear it down
With the same two hands!)

(We all fail,
But we are not all failures.
Preaching to never fail,
We don't have to live like this!)

You live your life in shame,
(Chasing what was too far away!)
It's not a contest
And love can't be won.
You'll speak and you'll speak,
But not around to me.
Broken homes lead the way
For twisted tongues.

(Broken homes
Lead way for twisted tongues,
We will not be forgotten.
This will be the reason I refuse
To find to a way break this empathy.
We want too easy!)

(I found a foothole in the faultline.
There was only a voice,
There was only Him.
And this is what it said:)

I still love you somehow,
And I still love you somehow.

You live your life in shame,
(Chasing what was too far away!)
It's not a contest
And love can't be won.
You'll speak and you'll speak,
But not around to me.
Broken homes lead the way
For twisted times.

(I still love you, I still love you somehow!)

(I still love you somehow.
I still love you somehow
And I always will!)

(You've got a tape worm
Growing within your soul.
You're gonna have to dig it out alive.
Dig it out. Dig it out, dig it out!)

I still love you somehow,
And I still love you somehow.

Walkers lyrics - The Color Morale

We don't feel the world turn,
Take these steps in my days,
One at a time.
We all start the same dreams,
Don't try them, you're asleep.

(We all try to run from our problems
And straight to the answers.
We all spend our time chasing grace,
But not listening to own my faith.
Without that faith we'd just decay!)

We are not useless.

We are not useless just used.
And I see something
In you I'm going to prove.
(Useless and used!)
We've been used.
(This is what we're all going through!)

Whom ever loses us, whom ever loses us.
(Whom ever loses us, whom ever loses us!)

We are not useless.

We are not useless just used.
And I see something in you
I'm going to prove.
(Useless and used,
This is what we're all going through!)

(You never know when you're close.
Close inside,
Until you reach inside and force it out.
Will we ever we make the demons leave?
So we can learn in peace.
We've all got it buried underneath!)

Whom ever loses us, whom ever uses us.

They say that home is where the heart is
It's all we've got to part with.
We all have to find love alone.
They say that home is where the heart is,
You make me your home.

We won't feel the world turn,
If we keep standing still.

Demon Teeth lyrics - The Color Morale

Twenty something
Years of seclusion
Seems to be quite enough

Just get me out of this town
It's like a dried up,
lake full of debris and I am starting to drown
Sometimes I can see clearer
Through rear view mirrors
Then windshields with
All the places I've been

How do I find my destination?
Neither one of us is getting out
Of the situation alive
Until the other one dies

And it wont be me
You clench your hold like you clench your teeth
And I will send you back to hell
Holding your jaw,
Like your demon teeth

Your demon teeth

Put your ghosts in the past
Don't put your torment back
Beneath it's reoccurring
Pull apart its jaw
And smash out its teeth

Who do I believe?
When everyone sees and speaks
Based in part by what they themselves believe
I'd Rather see a man of god
Than hear from one
Any day of the week
So take hold of these demons
Cast them into pigs
But don't let a single one of them leap
Take their filth
And let them learn
(No, no, no, no) Just let them teach

[x2]
Instead of reading the book (I've read the book)
Try Meeting The Author (I've met the author)

That's my problem, I've had the devil on both sides
With god at the bottom (ughhhh)

Chin Up
Chin Up

He doesn't pick where he stands,
I pick where I place him.

Falling Awake lyrics - The Color Morale

In spite of my cheerful demeanor
I'm afraid to set foot in the world
We watch the same dead clocks
These small hands need to meet the larger again

And I chose a road, the one I didn't know
Now it has brought me here
The stories I've have gathered in travels,
I wouldn't trade for the years back

There's a war inside,
I need something to get me through this
Without you, am I ever myself?
The only thing holding us back is us
(?)
And ghosts from the last time
Are all the same

We can live again [x3]

All we can do is try and try and try and try to change
For ourselves

The night has been my covering
And the day is my disguise
But I can't seem to stay far enough away
From self created lies

For those of you who question your purpose
Look inside the eyes staring back at you
Past your devil
They long for purpose too
And maybe that's yours, I know cause it's mine

You are the second-hand air that I breathe
And these songs were made for you to sing before me
And they are more than just sound
And you are more than just an audience
This is the family that I've found

The night has been my covering
And the day is my disguise
But I can't seem to stay far enough away,
From self created lies

I chose a road, and now I know
Nothing will ever come easy

I chose this road
Staying asleep is worse than falling awake
I chose this road
Standing asleep is worse than falling awake

Quote On Quote lyrics - The Color Morale

(You said to live life
And live it in abundance,
But you yourselves are abundantly dead!)

(And if not for a reason,
I would have another reason to stay.
I need to find a place
Where I can fill my faith,
I don't need it taken!)

(Oh, I will learn to let you go.
Oh, learn to let you go
Back to your shadow!)

Take me to the place
Where I can restore my faith.
Oh, I wrote and said that you are skin.
One day they will be
The earth and it's world.

(Are you a preacher or a pasture,
A teacher and a bastard?
Are you...
Are you a preacher or a pasture,
A teacher and a bastard just like me?
Just like me!)

(You said to live life.
Since the day we were made,
We've all started to die.
But I can only listen once,
Well, nobody ever dies once!)

Take me to the place
Where I can restore my faith.
Oh, I wrote and said that you are skin.
One day they will be
The earth and it's world.

(Go on, speak for yourself.
Speak for yourself!)

(Pull a bunch of scarecrows,
Pull a bunch of scarecrows!)

This Lost Song Is Yours lyrics - The Color Morale

Heavens have been forever crowding,
Then I still have four more years to devil with.
I didn't create the disease,
I just try to ignore.
I won't be missed by, but I just can't go.

No, don't take me back there,
Don't take me back there, no.
Bury me a hole in the sky,
Not in my mind.
No one ever makes it out of life alive,
There's no excuse for you to not try.

Heavens have been forever crowding,
Then I still have four more years to devil with.
I didn't create the disease,
But now you were created in me.

No, don't take me back there.
Don't take me back there, no.

Our lives are old,
But our destinies are young.
In my travels tonight,
You are my inspiration.
You'll make it back this night more alive.

The cleanest we'll be is the day before
We're buried in soil,
Where we'll make peace with worms.
And I'll see you in dust when I turn.

Go make your peace.
You still won't know
Where you'll be alone,
But I'll be there with you.

The worlds finds a way
To pull hope over my own head
And bury me there.
And one day two wings air,
This is the worst not the last
And I've always needed you.

We only crossed this far to show
They will forever try to close.
We've all mistakes but grown from,
The last one that you give
Will be your own.

Fill;Avoid lyrics - The Color Morale

I’ll never know comfort till the sun sets.
I’ve always known the struggle when the light and my eyes met.
They connect.
Put me back in the earth.
I came from dust and not dirt.
You made me from dust, not dirt.

"We All Have Demons" (2009)

The Sage Of Washington Oaks lyrics - The Color Morale

Maybe We'll Come
Maybe We'll Go
It's all for you (This is all for you)
Maybe this time around we'll know what to and what not to do
And we'll go on thinking about how we all could change
But what good is changing for all of them
For all of them, for all of them
You're not changing for yourself
Save yourself
Change for yourself

Close Your Eyes And Look Away lyrics - The Color Morale

The day burns darkest right before the dawn.
As I've conflicted beliefs with my own.
I am as guilty, as every one of you!
So prepare the fallout will lead me back through this nightmare.

Today Is the day to get through what you've been going through.
Show no concern to those who never even try to learn,
Show no concern to those who never even try to learn

I pray, you, you all will find this as I've found this.
And every time I forget, it finds me.
Prepare your parting gifts, and send them all,
Right off this cliff they call life.
Send them all, right off of this cliff they call life, I know that you will be here.
To teach me to fly, every every time they clip their wings.

Your names are written
Right there in the sky
You just have to read them.
Prepare your parting gifts, and send them all, right off this cliff
Send them all right off this cliff that they call life.
(I know you will be here), to teach me to fly every every time.
They clip their wings, they won't give
Reach for both hands

When One Was Desolate lyrics - The Color Morale

Return right back to the hell from which you came from.
Held back by the bloodline, somethings gone horribly Wrong,
We feel as If we don't belong.
Why do I need the answers this moment?

And so they came held back by a moments grace
They only speak so they save their face, and then drift away

And the shadows know of, of the snakes,
The day will come when you'll want this,
But you'll be measured by what you take.

So where were you?
The light to lead me to this hell and through
Don't lose faith we'll find a way, the way back through.
They only speak of their saving grace,
And I see that my grace Is you!

We're all the same
Well this Is me and this Is you alone together.
We're all the same
You smile as you struggle like me,
Like these like every wicked chosen decay that lies In me,
Just let It leave just leave.
Just leave my body, are we born among demons?

Send all your chosen plagues, right back to the hell from which they came.
False belief, dies today, separate my body, and let me be.

Humannequin lyrics - The Color Morale

And I Will
Be there when you get home
And i will be there when you become all you hate
All you hate when you become
You have to see the floor
You have to see the floor before you
You can see the angels are reaching
Cross all the t's dot the i's this is your life
The contract expires when you die
You need to see the bottom of every barrel to know
Maybe i was wrong to look in to all the eyes of all of my demons
I would rather stare right back into the eyes of the devil
To find my own face
Being alone being alone never felt so good cause i found you
Maybe time was wrong (time was wrong)
Maybe time was wrong (time heals nothing)
We can all be alone, all alone, all alone
We can all be alone but we will still have you
Maybe I'll become all that i hate
Maybe I'll become maybe I'll become all i hate
Maybe I'll become you
He will pull all of us out

Resource: Recourse lyrics - The Color Morale

If you leave then we won't play
For the walls will wash away the few
And we'll stand displayed far past the expiration date
For the stage we stand upon, Is so vaguely fake.

So why are we here, for the sake of the sound?
When the sound Is falling upon deaf ears, (upon deaf ears)
So why are we here? Your faces are forward
Focused on what you call frames
So we'll offer up the canvas, to be left and un-obtained
And If no one hears the sound was it there from the start?

A Sponge In The Ocean lyrics - The Color Morale

I believe in souls and I prefer semi-controlled.
When I am at this world alone,
When I am at this world alone,
I play a false god
And draw shame to the throne.

They say the best things come to those who wait,
For you to change them wait.
And they say the best things come
To those who will wait,
For you to change.
They know they know it exists,
But if they can't see it or touch it, it's fake.
Why am I here,
Why am I here?

So long, so long for holding in,
We're told, we're told the dirt that we throw
Will some day come back times ten
And cover us all.

Those who deserve love the least need it the most.
They say the best things come to those who wait,
I have been waiting and I am not hearing a thing,
Hearing a thing from you.

So long, so long for holding in,
We're told, we're told the dirt that we throw
Will some day come back times ten
And cover us all.

Those who deserve love the least need it the most.
This world reminds me that some day I won't need my skin.
Oh my God, why am I here,
Why am I here?
This is something we're born with.

Hopes Anchor lyrics - The Coral Morale

So this stays been cold,
the nights we'll share I long for.
We'll look with more than just our eyes,
I won't quit until I know that I truly tried.

Every way on my own, we'll move on.
For the way will be unforgiving,
we'll move on, on our own.
I won't quit until I know that I truly tried,
I won't quit until I know that I truly tried.
(I wont quit, I wont quit)

Will we be there in the end,
or will this leave me wide open?
Will this be here in the end,
or will it leave me wide open,
waiting on our second wind?
We are all enabled.

I won't quit until I know that I truly tried.
(I too will try)
I won't quit until I know that I truly tried.

In all you say and do keep to the follow through,
we're nothing without you.
So tonight all the fearful will feed,
and share remains with the ones who need.
I've been used, I've been tried, I've been tested,
but I have yet to break.
So share your fears with me.

I won't quit, I won't quit,
I won't quit until I know that I truly tried.
I won't quit, I won't quit,
I won't quit until I know that I truly tried.
(We are enabled, we are enabled)
I won't quit, I wont quit.
(We are enabled, we are enabled)

Manumission lyrics - The Color Morale

These wars, we face only keep me in my place.
The shadow I cast only grows, largest just right before.
It meets me, unwilling at the floor.

The Man Behind The Hands lyrics - The Color Morale

And the sky awaits us all,
Now I know today will be the day
Where my throat goes first,
But tonight there will be no slowing of my heart
Or calming my pulse.

I want you to feel,
I want you to feel your pulse in my words
And make your actions speak louder.

We're as children numbered in millions,
Made for a kingdom,
But all designed to fail.
We were designed to fail,
We were all designed to fail.
We were designed to fail,
We were all designed to fail.

This Is the reason he created seasons,
So we can all learn when our leaves fall.
In June, this is the reason he created seasons,
So shoot the arrow, but don't miss the apple.

I need my eyes,
I need my eyes as much as my throat,
As much as my voice.

God send us down and angel,
So she can purge the church.
Send her to the earth
As living proof of worth worship.
Not your priests,
Nor your whores,
Not anything more than,
More than what you leak out of all your pores.

You have already been marked for death,
You have already been marked for death,
You made the mark yourself.

So I ask you all, if tomorrow never came,
Would you think or would you act the same?
And I will ask you If tomorrow never came,
Would you think or act the same?

Please help the man,
Please help the men behind their masks,
Behind their hands.

I, The Jury lyrics - The Color Morale

There's a cure for all the dead,
in all the dead, all the dead.
It all started out as another failed attempt,
they all died underfed

For the sake of all that's failing,
I'd rather die on my knees
than stand here with these same old
tired and worn out feet of mine.
Walking circles,
because my chords remain unbalanced.

This is not about me,
this is not about us.
Father, Father will they let you in, let you in?
Please forgive me,
I am one of them, one of them.
Father, Father will they let you in, let you in?
Please forgive me,
I am one of them.

So tear me open and reach right in,
they don't have to go the same way the came
born to sin.
In due time, they'll all find
that they can be forgiven.

We all live in a world of convictions,
an ugly world with ugly surroundings.
You don't recognize your own faces,
'cause there's more than,
more than just one side.
We are all our own jury,
some day we'll be put on trial.

This is not about me,
this is not about us.
Father, Father will they let you in, let you in?
Please forgive me,
I am one of them, one of them.
Oh, let me in,
oh, let me in.

So tear me open and reach right in,
they don't have to go the same way the came
born to sin.
In due time, they'll all find
that they can be forgiven.

You don't forgive others for their sake,
you forgive for your own sake.
You don't forgive only for your sake,
for the sake of our falling, forgive yourself.

Today I stand tallest from my knees,
today I stand tallest from my knees,
from my knees, from my knees.
