Get It Together by MakeWar - Album Lyrics & Tracks

2 ContributorsHopeless Dreamers LyricsI took my time kept waiting for something. Clearly lost while sinking on nothing. Trying to make sense of everything. Got to a point of serious disorder. You can call it hell, I will call it never sleeping on my bed. Last calls meant we’re never leaving. Ryan will pour you all the drinks. Is it cool if I close my eyes just for a bit? The night is drunk and we’re all young. Losing streak. Taking all of the punches. I was on the run, slowing down my pace. Hoping to make it work. Freaking out. I think that I found her, or maybe she found me? I just got a feeling that this time’s for the win. I’ve always been a hopeless dreamer, and now you reign in all my dreams. Is it cool if we make this one last ten thousand years? The night is young and we’re in love…Roses are for posers. Lilies will go on and on and on

2 ContributorsMy Bones LyricsYeah this is crazy. But I’m not feeling well again. It feels like my body is shutting down. And I’m just thinking in reverse. "Try to take control.” That's all I do man. Every single day, before I freak out. My mind is playing tricks on me. Again and again! "Just breathe.” Oh, I’ve been breathing like a freak. I slow it down and count the times. And really put my mind to it. Every single breath, whistles you're gonna die, and every single friend, tells me I’m not gonna die. So lets get to the bottom and see who is right, and who's wrong. So break me, break me! And show me the bones that I gotta see. We gotta carry on. Let's go! Time keeps slipping away from me. Watch me fall and die. So lost. First step is recognizing, that everything is fine. We’re so far to let things go

2 ContributorsNo Excuses LyricsDishonest, people starting shit for the wrong cause. Emotions, sparking in our brains from all the lies. I can’t breathe, you’re choking me, I swear I’m the wrong guy. I can’t speak, the color of my skin makes me a liar. Disarm the flock, of human pigs. If they meant no harm, why would they need these shiny guns? Against these kids who were unarmed and full of fear, protect and serve? You’re not fooling me! Now what? They’re gone and you’re excused? No future…No resolution…This place used to be different. Everyone was nicer. Some of you would even help another. Now we fight about the differences, that some of us just carry. In our blood and in our genes and the place my mom was born. Retired men are freaking out with all these kids, that are coming out. Leave them alone! And continue living your boring reality. They are superstars, and you are nothing! Holy shit! They won’t stop! Blaming it on being old school? No excuses! Not anymore! Racist homophobes, preaching the wrong words, your time is fucking done! You want freedom of speech? You make me fucking sick! Your future’s obsolete! And the time will come when we’ll be free to be who we are or wear what we pleased without being scared. The time is now!

2 ContributorsSqueeze LyricsTrying to sleep. Counting the sheep. Tricking myself. Slowing the beat. I don’t wanna die today. Expanding my lungs. I am not alone. Feeling impaired. Rooting for change. I can’t do this anymore. How do you fix these imperceptible feelings? Running in circles...Sweat on the sheets, shake in my skin, squeezing my head. Same atmosphere. Souvenirs from months ago. Compressing my lungs, I am all alone. Feeling despair. Nothing compares. I don’t wanna die at all. (This medicine is not working, these vitamins are bullshit, why can’t you fix this? I am lost) How do you fix these imperceptible feelings? Running in circles… Fool’s paradise… Keep drinking until you can smile again. Crawling in circles. Chasing our failures. Running in circles!!!!!

3 ContributorsSails LyricsI've been thinking about it of how nice it would be, if we both just quit our jobs, and sail across the sea. We’ll fish our way around the tides, taking our time. Looking forward, never astern. We won't look back and we'll take it slow, we’ll learn the ropes of life and make it comfortable. Together, we'll find a way around sea storms and battles. Looking forward, never astern. The boat is sinking slow. Honey I can't make it on my own. So, we'll patch those holes and we'll stay afloat. Tighten the knots and sail all the way home. And we'll make it home, and we'll paint those walls, maybe we'll get a dog? Sweet little family. We’ll sail our way around this life. Taking our time… Looking forward, never astern

3 ContributorsOh, Brother LyricsAll my friends are going places

And I’m just burning all the bridges

They’ve seen to have it all worked out

And I’m just trying to keep it loud

This is where the story goes

This is how I lost my voice

 

When I was fifteen

I didn’t care about anyone

High school was just

Another distraction

With no highs but lows

And fucking ups

 

But that’s when I found it

And it sounded like “feelings”

I didn’t get the words

But I knew they had meaning

I was lost and found

The sound that made me feel alive

 

Welcome to the world of punk

Freaks and geeks and silly drugs

Welcome to starting a band

Skipping school when surf gets high

 

 

By 22 I forgot what I was doing

I was getting lost inside my father’s wishes

Of trading music and adventures

For a desk with limitations

 

Welcome to your 9 to 5

If you call in sick you better be dying

Welcome to stability

The king of boredom and routines

 

Do you Remember when we were truly happy?

3 simple chords and everyone is dancing

I’m looking forward for that time again

And I’ll say “hey stop wasting time you got this!”

 

I want you to follow

What makes you feel different

I want you to struggle

Pay your dues, get blisters

I want you to dream big

Bigger than I ever did

I want you to fight for it

Against the odds

I want you to fall in love again

Against the rules

I want you to lose your voice too

Screaming your heart out!

Sing your heart out!

2 ContributorsGet It Together LyricsEverything is special, everyone is clever, inside your little screen, tracking all your dreams. Type away the good meals. Tweet about those new sheets. Make that perfect gif, for I #WokeUpLikeThis. Tricking all your new "friends". Filters on your true self. Thinking you're the coolest. Please wake up and take control. Time is up. Get off that hole. Leave your fears. The end is near. Quit wasting all your time! please! Now freak about the future, and don't let it consume you. Use that energy to follow all your dreams. Don't let anyone stop you especially yourself. Your true self. Please wake up. And take control. Time is up. Get off that hole. Leave your fears. The end is near. Quit wasting all your time! Please! If there's a point. The lowest all them all. No apologies necessary here. Trust me if you fall. You'll get up stronger than ever. Make it better!
