For Keeps - Death Is Not Glamorous

This world we love we’ll fight to keep alive

The spirit in our hearts and the will to survive

The bitter taste, the hopeless days

The pulling through, the fire escapes

It all comes back, all comes back around

Hits me so hard, near knocks me down

We won’t stop, we’re drinking deep

Might never be this way again so we play

We play for keeps

We’re taught lies from the start

We let fear control our hearts

Close our eyes to the truth

Close our windows to the youth

Cast out the ones that don’t belong

Who can’t afford to sing along

To the mindless fucking tune

Bigger, better, fill it up, consume

And our hearts remain stark and empty rooms

So we’ll write our own songs

We’ll write our own books

Fill our hearts with courage

To take back everything they took

Aspire to embrace compassion

Allow our outrage to match our passion

Volatile, vehement, constant, motion and

Tides will turn like the fucking ocean
