lyrics

We're long overdue for fractured peace.
They stare straight through the empty glass.
While he pulls the revolver from the desk,
Hollow threats point the barrel at his head.

Hope hangs loose in a sister’s fear.
Dealt with unwelcome strain of 30 years.
You know she’s not really asking for much.
Cause it’s so sad when you hate the one you love.

They grow ‘em cold up there.

Paranoia takes the mind.
Surveillance serves as passing time.
No matter what prescriptions are filled.
Everything fades after nothing heals.

I’m caught in the arc of a blank stare,
Looking back at me from nowhere.
She says we’re all holding our breath.
Cause it’s so sad when you hate the one you love.

They grow ‘em cold up there.

There’s so much buried where it shouldn’t be.
Nothing ever reaches light.
You can’t blame the righteous for the cowardly,
While temptation breaks a family.

They grow ‘em cold up there.

Guns of Navarone Austin

I met him, we met them, and all of a sudden we were singin' songs and lookin' at each other in a really small room. We're searching for bigger rooms.
