Track Lyrics

Ironclad Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You went down in the very first round
Sitting ringside in a tiny town
Knock out, knock out
First round, first round
[Chorus]
When you call, you will call the loudest
When you fall, you will fall the hardest
[Verse 2]
This could be our very last stand
The Monitor and the Merrimack
Too bad, too bad
You're ironclad, ironclad
[Chorus]
When you call, you will call the loudest
When you fall, you will fall the hardest
[Bridge]
Who do you love, who do you love, who do you love?
What would you kill, what would you kill, what would you kill?
To make a heart stand still, heart stand still, heart stand still?
What would you pay, what would you pay, what would you pay?
To make the hate go away, hate go away, hate go away?
[Chorus]
When you call, you will call the loudest
When you fall, you will fall the hardest
[Outro]
Why battle-cry?
Dry your eyes, no one can hear you
Once iron made, heart or spade
No one can steal you

Was It a Lie? Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The yard was cold and dark
The tracks were clearly marked
But she was tired, she didn't see
She was just out alone
She wasn't going home
She was going somewhere far away
The train was moving through
As we know the world has to do
Everyone will say it was her fault
Somewhere, a camera placed
Inside this awful place
The accident is about to start
[Chorus]
Was it a lie?
Was it a lie?
[Post-Chorus]
Did it fill your head?
Did it entertain?
Will you feel alive at the end of it?
[Verse 2]
When the collision came
She died right away
Her body flung almost sixty feet
And as she split in two
Was she coming straight for you?
And do you have a camera for a face?
Was she your TV show?
Was she your video?
A woman's pain: never private, always seen
I want to close my eyes
I want to cut the wires
I want a day not made for you to see
[Chorus]
Was it a lie?
Was it a lie?
[Post-Chorus]
Did it fill your head?
Did it entertain?
Will you feel alive at the end of it?
[Bridge]
When you play it back to me, it feels more like a parody
Now, it's all I will ever be
That's all I will ever be
(You broadcast it in fifty states)
I really don't care about it
(Looped her death on the internet)
I don't care if it's cold
(And a woman's life got cheaper that day)
Now, I want to be the prettiest wreck you've seen
(A woman's life got cheaper that day)
[Post-Chorus]
Did it fill your head?
Did it entertain?
Will you feel alive at the end of it?

Pompeii Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And then one fine morning
(What you want)
She woke, she knew
(You might never have)
One long look at her life
(Wait for it)
It was you
(Comes back a scar)
[Verse 2]
Come hell or high water
Her heart was made
No friend and no lover
Will get in her way
[Verse 3]
For six long years, happiness spoke
(Take your time, no hurry up)
But then the time was up
(Change your mind)
The spell was broke
(Back to the start)
[Pre-Chorus]
She said, "What I have done to get my way?
What I have done to get this day?"
[Chorus]
I want fortune weary love
Fortune weary love
Baby, don't you dare give up on me now
Baby, don't you dare give up on me now
[Bridge]
You're gonna find out
You're gonna get low
It's gonna darken your soul
You're gonna find out
You're gonna get low
It's gonna darken your soul
You're gonna fall down
You're gonna grow old
It's gonna darken your soul
[Chorus]
I want fortune weary love
Fortune weary love
Baby, don't you dare give up on me now
Baby, don't you dare give up on me now
Get up

The Swimmer Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The swimmer is so far from the distant shore
The only time she never feels alone
On the land, her body distorts
In the water, lines are true to her mind
[Chorus]
I can hardly see you now
Are you getting closer?
And do you know you're the one?
They will never understand
How washed up you feel on land
The spotlight of the sun, it shines on
[Verse 2]
The swimmer knows she'll never touch the floor
She can float unharmed by murky wars
And the land is as plain as her skin
But the water shines like the star in her mind
[Chorus]
I can hardly see you now
Are you getting closer?
And do you know you're the one?
They will never understand
How washed up you feel on land
The spotlight of the sun, it shines on
