lyrics

The faults and failures all bore witness
to the echoes just beyond the distant city lines
Redemption hailed like fireworks in a chorus
of ragged beaten drums
That thunder for ones
who went living in the margins
of a system cracked and worn,
you'll find callouses and scars in the din

From barricades to basement shows,
picket lines and marches
“Carry us over the walls
that stand too tall to conquer”

The window frames the frozen monologue
for missing mitts, and writer's block and a polaroid
of a face, the shadows fill the empty space
A shouldered glance for holding back
Take a call, list the exits
Hold your face to the glass and exhale twice for the letting go
Write a note in reverse
The beginning marks the end
And watch the water beads blend and fall

From barricades to basement shows,
picket lines and marches
"Carry us over the walls
that stand too tall to conquer"
From barricades to basement shows
picket lines and marches
you took it all, before we all had time to notice

Sometimes life seems so much better through
the stitches in my eyes and the ringing in my ears
His life doesn't solely sanctify the loss
but he stood for what was right and he fought the good fight
There's a ghost white bike downtown
When I see it I stop
and I'm strong again

From Ian's voice soaring above delicate chimes of guitar, to the subtle soothing strength of the tactful blend of rhythm and melody, they move listeners. ... more
