Backlit - This Or The Apocalypse

We’re the scraps left behind in ground zero

From the blast that came to collect on its debt

Blowing a gale over the corpses

Over the hills that swallowed our footsteps

We kill the time as it was done to us

We point our hands in the shapes of guns and we time it

All washed out and fading in the foreground

The hammer draws back, go find your peace

We’re the great whale hooked and robbed of it’s hide

As the jaybird watches yellow jackets close in

Gulf War, empty the beds of our fathers

Arms race — let fly the wolves in our hearts

Get up with 27 minutes left in '68 every day

Everything.

Nothing.

Me

Everything.

Nothing.

Me

We kill the time as it was done to us

We point our hands in the shapes of guns and we time it

All washed out and fading in the foreground

The hammer draws back, go find your peace

Nobody notices the cowards fall

Fall just like the brave

Nobody notices the cowards fall

Fall just like the brave

All washed out and fading in the foreground

The hammer draws back, go find your peace

Everything.

Nothing.

Me

Everything.

Nothing.

Me
