Battle Born Songtext
von Matthew Ryan

It took a straight in the teeth
To find out what was underneath
You′re still alive even if you can't breathe
That show you′re a hero to me
Hey Lou, I'm in love with you
Your kind of work and that lean for truth
What else were you gonna do?
Hey Lou, I'm in love with you

And all the crowds, they call so loud
The hollow clowns and the useless sentiments
It′s all so big
Who′s paying the rent?


I paused while you disappeared
Was it something ringing in your ear?
Or had you just grown tired of tears?
I paused while you disappeared
Disenchantment is a ruthless ball
But it never stopped Chris or Todd
You could be something anyone
Battle born when the daylight comes

And all the crowds, they call so loud
The hollow clowns and the useless sentiments
It's all so big
Who′s paying the rent?

On a dark lit night
In the throes of another fight
I heard a song made me feel alright
Made me wanna explode in delight
I don't know if there′s more than this
A loud guitar, some comfort or a kiss
All I know is that it's the shape of a fist
And it′s pounding inside your ribs

'Til the wheels come off
No matter the hurt or the cost
Screaming hope in the land of the lost
Oh, 'til the wheels come off


Oh, ′til the wheels come off
No matter the hurt or the cost
Screaming hope in the land of the lost
Oh, ′til the wheels come off
Oh, 'til the wheels come off
Oh, ′til the wheels come off
Oh, 'til the wheels come off
Oh, in the land of the lost
