lyrics

Six Hearts On Fire

If you’ve got the heart, then take a shot at drinking in the sun,
Chewing up the moonlight, while soaking up the fun
I’ve been dining off the royalties from starving for a little art
So paint a crowded mural on the pages of this song
Erase the fickle memories, that have surely lingered long
And let six wounded souls warm their hands on the fire of each heart

Whoa, what’ve we got to lose?
Whoa, so what do you choose?

If it’s immortality you seek,
Well the prospect’s pretty bleak
But you can live beneath the hopes
If you’ve got promises to keep
To yourself, to your “family,” to your heart,
To the beat...
Just beat the drums, play your heart, make it family, let it bleed

The lunacy of unity gives comfort to the strange
And the asylum’s lonely inmates just lobotomized their brains,
So kickstart the wanderlusters’ hearts with the “Shock and Awe” of dreams
Now the train once bound for nowhere found an engineer who could
Said I think I can, know who I am, amongst friends I understood
So stoke the fire, we’ll ride the rails of accidental serendipity

Whoa, what’ve we got to lose?
Whoa, so what do we choose?

If it’s immortality you seek,
Well the prospect’s pretty bleak
But you can live beneath the hopes
If you’ve got promises to keep
To yourself, to your “family,” to your heart,
To the beat...
Just beat the drums, play your heart, make it family, let it bleed

I did it wrong a little long
Lost the melody in song
And I dined on my defeats
Amongst the friends where I belonged
And when it hurt, we sang on, if it moved, we moved along
So here’s to Natch, here’s to Clint, Disaster, Chels, and Rob.

Whoa...
These are the friends that remain
Whoa...
Six hearts like a moth to a flame
Whoa...
These are the friends that remain
Whoa...
Six hearts that beat true for the strange

If it’s immortality you seek,
Well the prospect’s pretty bleak
But you can live beneath the hopes
If you’ve got promises to keep
To yourself, to your “family,” to your heart,
To the beat...
Just beat the drums, play your heart, make it family, let it bleed

I did it wrong a little long
Lost the melody in song
And I dined on my defeats
Amongst the friends where I belonged
And when it hurt, we sang on, if it moved, we moved along
So here’s to Natch, here’s to Clint, to Disaster, Chels, and Rob.
