“The true measure of a man is what they would do if they were never to be found out” - me
Lyrics
Civil War
I will meet you when it's over
I will meet you when it's done
There is no point in us getting closer
I'll stay home forever stoned
CHORUS
Welcome to the revival
Welcome to the night
Welcome to your survival
you can do whatever you like,
Welcome to your life
Blame it on the lies that Killed us
Blame the truth that tracked us down
I guess it comes down to surrender
It doesn't matter much to me now
We are born, we are dying
Little by little, inch by inch, piece by piece
Inside remainders and reminders
The more we want, the more that we need
CHORUS
Welcome to the revival
Welcome to the night
Welcome to your survival
you can do whatever you like,
Welcome to your life
I see my mother slowly dying
She's a hostage to her bed
For respect and the love of our family
Did you live your life without regret
CHORUS
Welcome to the revival
Welcome to the night
Welcome to your survival
you can do whatever you like,
Welcome to your life
OUTRO
Welcome to your revival
Welcome to the night
Welcome to your revival
Welcome to your life
THE MONSTER IN ME
Why do I call you
when I know you're not around
buried in my backyard
Beneath the wretched ground
I know that one day you will see
the monster in me
why do I want you
When I know you don't want me
Lost in my addiction
Dead to my disease
I know that one day you will see
the monster in me
BRIDGE
I miss the touch of a woman who will decorate my soul
I know someone will want me, eventually
I know that one day you will see
the monster in me
OUTRO
Why do I call you, why do I call
Why do I call you, why do I call
Why do I call you, why do I call
Why do I call you, why do I call
SHE HID THE SUN
I couldn't help her, I couldn't heal her
It might have helped to have a plan
I was way too weak to stand
here we go again
In her bedroom, in her pale room
the smell of her was on my hands
I was way too drunk to stand
so here we go again
CHORUS
On her skin lives a tattoo of every man she ever knew
I’m never there when she says she needs me
once again I said goodbye too soon
she hid the sun behind the moon
I couldn't praise her, I couldn't please her
I know you’ll never understand
not much left here to defend
so here we go again.
CHORUS
On her skin lives a tattoo of every man she ever knew
I’m never there when she says “please be”
Once again I said goodbye too soon
She hid the sun behind the moon
once again I said goodbye to soon
she hid the sun behind the moon
Laurel Canyon
I was listening to the doors as I drove through Laurel Canyon
I had my fingers on my phone, but my eyes stayed on the road
Sun is God in Los Angeles
Summer smiles, winters pissed
I was listening to the doors as I drove through laurel Canyon
I was balanced on an edge on a ledge in New York City
Roses never grow in the cracks of Georgia clay
A change of clothes and some hope for luck
A hefty bag in my broke ass truck
I was balanced on an edge on a ledge in New York City
CHORUS
Circle round this bright blue world
Searching for the perfect Pearl
I have everything I need
All I want is you
Everybody wants to live in Southern California
20 minutes to the beach, 20 more to Hollywood
50 years, where did they go
Life goes fast, old age just goes
Everybody wants to live in Southern California
CHORUS
Circle round this bright blue world
Searching for the purest Pearl I have everything I need
All I want is you
CHORUS
Circle round this bright blue world
Searching for the purest Pearl I have everything that I need
All I want is you
Circle round this bright blue world
Searching for the perfect Pearl
I have everything I need
All I want is you
I was listening to the doors as I drove through Laurel Canyon.
Sweet Magnolia
Moving in shadows, waiting for light
Moving like statues, waiting for daytime
Everything lives, everything dies.
Here on this earth, everything has its time
CHORUS
Sweet magnolia, sweet magnolia
Sweet magnolia is dying on the vine
Waiting for morning, waiting for daylight
Waiting for water, waiting for sunshine
Everyone hurts, everyone lies
Sometimes we’re cruel, sometimes we’re unkind
CHORUS
Sweet magnolia, sweet magnolia
Sweet magnolia is dying on the vine
Sweet magnolia, sweet magnolia
Sweet magnolia is dying on the vine
Every flower knows, reaches up till the sun takes hold
Sleeping in Corvallis tree pine, sleeping till the stars shows soul
CHORUS
Sweet magnolia, sweet magnolia
Sweet magnolia is dying on the vine
Sweet magnolia, sweet magnolia
Sweet magnolia is dying on the vine
Revival
I will meet you when it's over
I will meet you when it's done
There is no point in us getting closer
I’ll stay home forever stoned
CHORUS
Welcome to the revival
Welcome to the night
Welcome to your survival

Welcome to your life
Blame it on the lies that Killed us
Blame the truth that tracked us down
I guess it comes down to surrender
It doesn't matter much to me now
We are born, we are dying
Little by little, inch by inch, piece by piece
Inside remainders and reminders
The more we want, the more that we need

Welcome to the revival
Welcome to the night
Welcome to your survival

Welcome to your life
