so this is it
here it is, moment of truth
the one you’ve always heard about
everything around you stops to hold its breath
and your heart slows to a thump
there’s a lion in your gut (you’ve got to listen)
lying still in you for so long (you’ve got to listen)
lifts his head so seldom and you have got to listen
cuz when he wakes he roars and its your time to shine
do not hesitate do not fucking wait
let all those yesterdays, all those bloody days
pile up to clutter your way
you’re the Rocky movie
you’re that Nike add
ball’s in your court
and everything before has led you right fucking here
sum total of every decision that you have ever made
sum total of every blow you’ve had to fade
so make you’re move
take that shot
be the ball
this moment will define you
live, learn, rise, fall, point, squeeze
we were not awarded bones simply to weigh down our graves
so ring out, baby, ring out
the wind will break your fall
the rush will pick you up

though I walk alone I am never on my own
how can I not confuse family with friends
even though that is exactly what somebody told me
this was more than a chapter but the heart of the whole damn book
I had my best friend by my side when I learned my father died
Ive seen strangers become friends and then turn into brothers
in just a few short weeks away from home
it is crazy when they tell me that this is just screams to a beat
when I know it’s what shot you into my veins
glue that binds, a weapon that defines us
and I would be so lost without them
ive seen strangers become friends and then turn into brothers
in just a few short weeks on the road
bonds so much stronger than the time they took to form
and will last me the rest of my days
it is crazy when they tell me that this is just screams to a beat
when i know its what shot you into my veins
glue that binds, a weapon that defines us
and I would be so lost without you
though I walk alone I am never on my own
cuz the places we’ve been become the times we have shared
and they crash like waves and mark these days
and I don’t go anywhere without them
I took the whole damn ride
with my best friends by my side
the days turned into nights
and we held on with all our might
cuz nothing stays no way, no how
there’s no forever
the only thing that lasts forever
is right fucking now

The Guiding Light

summer came and you left it all behind
Red Sox games and Red Line trains
told yourself that nothing stays all dizzy and bright
traded it all to watch the world glide by
through that back bench-seat window
how could you not go?
everywhere you went your friends were waiting there
held onto nothing so that nothing could break in the end
envied everyone who was not you
and never forgave the rules that were older than time
that made time
and gravity did what gravity does
so you just kept on running
remembering Led Zeppelin songs with you feet on her dash
but her words they chase you still
“those highway lines will never love you back”

still can’t believe i’m even writing this one
stoop down all the way down here
address this shit that is so far beyond beneath me
calling out some cowards who will never even face me
ducked that shit for years it never even phased me
cuz I have always known that it’s the haters
who blow the wind in our sails
simple words, simple minds from those who will not
look me in the eye
but then I heard you took your shots at some very good friends of mine
a band who stands for everything that I hold dear
I could not let it slide, I could not get it off my mind
they were just trying to say goodbye
and you had to run your mouth
showed your lack of all it takes to be that great
you tried to tear them down
so fucking filled with envy it’s got you ripping the wings off flies
kills you to see all of those fists in the air
voices united by a spirit that never took hold in you
you’ve already become the angry dad yelling, “turn that noise down!”
I just don’t know how all this good got so lost on you
but you can’t cloud the ending of something that burned so bright
so you just sit and bitch
while they travel the whole wide world
you’ve never been a part of this
of all the good that they have tried to do
so you just hide behind that screen
I know you’re hearing this
all that I think of you
you are nothing
you did nothing
you brought nothing
you touched nothing
you built nothing
you meant nothing

One Life To Live

you shut your ugly mouth
raise your hand to offer up a life
that I would not be caught dead wrapped in
all calm and justified like you’re not
so scared that you can barely open your eyes
If there’s a Hell I’ll get there soon enough
not trying to lie and wait for it
I didn’t find God and he didn’t come looking for me
but someone showed me Minor Threat
and that was plenty good enough for me
flipping coins just to get by
laying it all on the line
so catch me if you can
you think that you can save me
but I’ve been on the fade for so long
that I can’t even find me

I’ve held onto old codes of honor
like the captain to a sinking ship
the world moved on and rolled its eyes
but there are some things that are worse than dying
it’s always been my way to over romanticize
cuz when I was young I had a hard time
with what was real and fantasized
the world moved on and did its thing
and I tried and I tried
but could not stop being that boy
and nothing turned out quite like they told me
I will believe in dragons for as long as I run with dragons
while these bodies keep piling up
but there are some things that are worse than dying
