Oklahoma 02:27
I left my heart in Oklahoma I leave pieces of myself Wherever I go I’ve committed acts of treason Conspiracy’s in season Your friends become foes Little kids shouldn’t play big boy games without bulletproof vests Do you know How she sings When she’s controlled By puppet strings There’s no surrender There’s no retreat We are the stray dogs Exploited mutilated and beat There’s no surrender There’s no retreat We are the stray dogs Exploited do-it-yourself defeat Theres no surrender there’s no surrender there’s no surrender We are the stray dogs

Hideaway 03:40
You were my rock, you were my anchor No longer shielding me from the blisters, the sores, and cankers All those nights of tossing and turning Past embers brightly burning Now I’m left with this travesty of third degree burns and charred memories Places are like ghosts They can haunt us all What are you trying to conjure from me? The ghost’s of christmas past The one’s who never last Another foreclosed hideaway You woulda coulda been The greatest story that I ever told Do you hear the sounds of my restless bones? They are growing old I’m so sick of transitional seasons If we could only try change for treason I always take the worst of the beatings Because I’m the first arriving and the last one leaving Places are like ghosts They can haunt us all What are you trying to conjure from me? The ghost’s of christmas past The one’s who never last Another foreclosed hideaway You were my hideaway Wreckage from the past united Our safe havens bulldozed and divided I always take the worst of the beatings I always take the worst of the beatings I always take the worst of the beatings I’m the first arriving and the last one leaving Places are like ghosts They can haunt us all What are you trying to conjure from me? The ghost’s of christmas past The one’s who never last Another foreclosed hideaway Another foreclosed hideaway Another foreclosed hideaway You were my hideaway

Titan 01:51
We have been conquered We’ve been overthrown and left behind Our legacy has been sacrificed We are all martyrs We sold our souls and stayed behind We were shot and hung before our prime The faces are nameless The places have faded Ambition sedated Our youth has been wasted We are all titans Drenched in blood Side by Side We won’t expire without a fight We are bastards of lions Our bloody battle of attrition We forge ahead to make our transition The faces are nameless The places have faded Ambition sedated Our youth has been wasted

Let's Get It 03:48
When I return to life I’m coming back as fire Incinerate all the liars My ghost still roams these streets Haunting the concrete We won’t lie down with the weak It’s not giving in, it’s not giving up We won’t pay worship to the garish sun It’s not giving in, it’s not giving up A reclamation Hell fire dictation He’s not dead, he’s just asleep It’s getting darker down here Please just give me your hand We’re gonna find a way out It’s not giving in, It’s not giving up We won’t pay worship to the garish sun It’s not giving in, it’s not giving up And we are the children of a dying sun I’m coming back to life I will return tonight A reclamation of fire It’s getting darker down here Please just give me your hand We’re gonna find a way out of here It’s not giving in, it’s not giving up We’re gonna find a way out of here

I can see you standing there On the coldest street in the coldest town On the oldest darkest side of the world This state can’t keep my warmth from you Summer flowers never come in bloom And we’re wearing Jean Jackets In June Revisiting our younger selves With the same old songs and the same old tales Degauss these mix tapes and these photos too Vanquish the history of you Summer never came that afternoon And we’re holding onto our Jean Jackets In June And we’re wearing our And we’re holding onto our Jean Jackets In June This is the shortest summer The windchill makes me suffer The cold still haunts me And I want it to last longer This is the shortest summer And the only thing I can offer Is granting you warmth from the cold It’s haunting me, it’s conjuring It’s haunting me, it’s conjuring, it’s haunting me There’s a bus leaving at midnight It’s only got room left for me or you This town won the war years ago Let me jacket keep you warm This is the shortest summer Jean Jackets In June I can still see you in daydreams Take this for warmth from the cold This is the shortest summer And the only thing I remember is our Jean Jackets In June
