An Impact on Everyone

I needed anyone to show me that I might not be alone
But I felt lonelier than ever before when she went on about her new friends and the parties and the city skyline
She didn’t call me back one night and I knew that she had moved on
What am I doing wrong? I don’t know what I wanna do with my life. Spinning my wheels all the fucking time
And what if I die today? Would anything change?
What if I die tonight? I won’t be happy with my life
I’m one day away, from making an impact on everyone that I have ever known
One of these days, I’ll stop pushing everyone away and insisting on fighting this alone
All my friends are scientists or teachers, or married with two kids living comfortably on a nice suburban street. I don’t even know how I’m gonna pay the bills this week.
Oh I remember those summer nights that we drank after the shows, our screams echoed off of the store fronts, screaming of lives out on the road. Now I’m trying to find some work and a place to go.
I set goals for myself that I can’t fucking meet and then failure breeds insanity
If everyone is happy with their lives and we’re never told what to be, maybe they’d be as sick as me

Grave Motivation

We run faster, past the graveyard But not for fear of the living dead
Driven by motivation, reminded of the fact that time runs out and life ends
Darkness fell at the worst of times almost every night
We don't believe in heaven or hell so there is a fire burning bright
We're not saving anything for some imaginary afterlife
We're not sleeping tonight
There is so much to do before we die
It's hard to sleep and hard to dream when You know you'll just wake up tired again
Driven by motivation, fueled by the fact that time runs out and life ends
The story of our past is a book we can't overwrite
Run thru the darkness to find a spark you can reignite
We'll keep our eyes open as the fire's burning bright
We're not sleeping tonight
There is so much to do before we die

Tired as Hell

She said that I looked too thin and tired that night at the bar
But I never felt better, so drunken and wired. But it’s not getting me very far
Well I said I was dying to feel alive just one more time
But I’m actually dying. I can feel myself rotting out from the inside
When they dig their way out of the ground there will finally be some life in this town
You will notice everything start to change
Like a ship sinking into the sea, they’ll sink their teeth into you and me
Feel the poison coursing thru your veins
And now I’m the walking dead, working each day just to keep my head above ground
I work every day with no soul left to sell
Oh heaven knows I’m tired as hell
The last time she saw me she said “You look like death steam rolled over you”
And there is no pounding inside of my chest to keep my skin from turning blue
Well I’m running on empty and crashing quickly as everyone stops to pray
I’ll rush off to the hospital bleeding and cold screaming “I swear this is my last day”
Well I sleep walk thru every week, so tonight after I fall asleep there is still no relief. Everything will come crashing down from above
And I know it’s been killing you too. Though it’s easier for me to blame you for the death of every single thing that I love

I woke up to the sound of cold rain
And now I realize that things will always change
I know I shouldn’t be living in the past
Well I know that I did all I could
I fought for so long to hold onto it
I know that it’s wrong and I admit to it
Well I break this old curse that keeps holding me down
Well I’m trying like hell to move on
And I know it’s not what I had planned
I’ll make the most of what I have and do the best I can
Well I’m not looking back on those days that are gone
The friends that I lost and the dreams that have died
So raise up your glasses to the new days ahead
I’m not rolling over and I won’t be left for dead
Well I’m sick of excuses and the lies to myself
Well I think that it’s time to move on

How many tragic events will it take for me to realize that we’re all driven by fate? It’s all randomized
How many deaths will it take for me to get the fuck up? How many deaths will it take for me to stop doing nothing all night? Sleeping all day. Wasting my time away.
I’d rather die and fade out than think about everything that I should have done by now.
How many nights will have to end with me acting unlike myself? Completely fucked up relying on somebody else.
How many nights will end fighting my unstable mind? Well maybe I’ll give in. Maybe I’ll be fine doing nothing all night? Sleeping all day. Wasting my time away.
I’d rather die and fade out than think about everything that I should have done by now.

I’d rather show you what I’ve built
I’d rather show you what I’ve bought
I’d rather help you off the ground
I’d rather step right on your face
I’ll give the shirt right off my back
I’ll steal every penny that you own
I will save you the last bite
I’d rather throw it away
This is what I’ve built, Not what I have bought
I’ll do it the hard way, The right way
(I'll take the low road The low road)
Cause you’re to blame,
For all these wicked evils that I witness
Every day,
Enjoying the seven deadly sins
And yeah, it’s such a shame,
Your spoiled, rotten conscious
Slips further and further away,
From the life that I love, and the way I choose to live
But since I have the choice, I’d rather choose to build than buy
I will break my back for you
You will break your back for me
I will sweat and strain for you
I will drink down all your tears
My calloused hands will bleed
And my lazy feet will soak
I will clean up after you
I will make sure to be a slob

I Love You This Good

Like a bullet from a gun I aimed right for your heart
Nervous and anxious, could this be the start?
I told you my dreams and that they never worked out
I guess I was wrong
I guess I was wrong about the nightmare scenarios
About being left alone and left out in the cold
You’ve never given reasons, no reason for me to doubt the trust I had in you and turn the other way
So take a breath and drop your guard there is no regrets here
I asked myself a thousand times why you stuck it out this year
I want the same as what you have asked just keep your faith in me
I want the same as what you have asked, I want the same
Keep your faith in me

Carolina Thunder

Do you remember those Southern nights?
The way the moon reflected off of the ocean a million times
We walked up the street to the pier
Shared drinks above the crashing waves and talked about our fears
And those old soul singers in the dead of the night
We're in the only waves that never reach the shore
But over the ocean, the clouds are rolling in
There is a thunder out in the distance
And out of the darkness a storm is coming in
These streets of fire will fill with rain
I hope you never have to feel the pain of my heart attack
As the bar lights fade to black, Oh Carolina please come back to my heart of stone
Will I miss you when you go?
Oh Carolina, please come home, please come home
The waves pound the shore, but they won't wash away your sins
My body is at home, but my heart is in the wind
The Jersey coast line is not the same
In dreams I can't remember, you know you still remember my name
And we dance above the flames
To all the jazz players with the fire in their eyes
But they never made it here they got caught up in the storm
And over the ocean, the clouds are rolling in
There is a thunder out in the distance
And out of the darkness a storm is coming in
These streets of fire will fill with rain
I hope you never have to feel the pain of my heart attack
As the bar lights fade to black, Oh Carolina please come back to my heart of stone
Will I miss you when you go?
Oh Carolina, please come home, please come home
My heart sailed out into the sky above the sea
I need anything to take these Southern blues away from me

The Divided Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
A few longtime friends wrote a couple kickass songs together in a basement. Then, they saw some kid with an acoustic guitar pouring his heart out for a bunch of uninterested people in a bar and recruited him. They moved from the basement to the garage and THE DIVIDED, a force of pure punk rock power the likes of which have never been seen, was born. ... more
