"We Stand Up"

I'll watch the sun go down this fall
I've watched the night reign,
Please don't be casual
Observers are always
The first to go,
So this is for me and my boys
We'll always play our part
To kick and scream
To be the ones you hate to know
I could never turn my back
Because this is who I know
You know all that is the truth
We are all we have
In a world that corrupts
Our struggling soul
You know all that is the truth

If you plead don't do it twice
I've still got something to say here
I will bear my heart to expose my soul
If honesty has a price
Then I won't fucking pay it
We will take our dreams straight to the grave

Choke on this and on my words
And on us and my honesty
It's of no consequence
Because I've seen the opulence
The beauty I've held in my eyes
If only for seconds
What will never take away
What we have built together
With our hands, with our hearts,
With our minds

If this is just in our heads
Then we'll keep on living the perfect lie
One day at a time
God bless our cheating hearts and damn your lies

If this is just in our heads
Then we'll keep on living the perfect lie
One day at a time
God bless us
