Tracklist

1. imaginary lines 3:22 » lyrics
   don’t take too long to find what you need
   this is all, this is all coming down
   don’t take too long and don’t look back
   you can believe it, you can see it all around
   
   and when the houses are burning
   and the ashes sting your eyes
   the tiniest reminder, the civilized lie
   
   boots on the ground, the old men say
   this is ours, this is our holy war
   over the horizon, imaginary lines
   this has all, this has all been done before
   
   and when the houses are burning
   and the ashes sting your eyes
   the tiniest reminder, the civilized lie
   
   and when the bodies are burning
   I hope the ashes sting your eyes
   the tiniest reminder, the civilized lie
2. judgment at hand 3:07 » lyrics
   it’s horrifying, what they’ve done to you
   there’s no line they won’t cross
   no something they won’t prove
   
   they’re holding bibles like they’re looking to sell
   there’s no bending, breaking
   no mercy when you hold the keys to hell
   
   for your own good they threw you in a cage
   they celebrate their freedom
   sneer and ask what made you that way
   
   almost hope they’re right, and there’s judgment at hand
   vengeance, spite, or mercy
   i’d hate to be where they stand
3. hang in there, baby 2:39 » lyrics
   hang in there, baby
   they have nothing on you
   they put on a big show
   but no one believes it’s true
   
   waiting on a missile
   waiting for the rain
   it’s never as bad as they say
   but it’s never the same
   
   trees move like nightmares
   cars sound like death
   walking past the cemetery
   i won’t hold my breath
   
   hang in there, baby
   and i’ll hang in too
   they’ll always try to take it all away
   but they have nothing on you
   
   hang in there, baby
   hang in there, baby
   hang in there, baby
   hang in there, baby
4. if 1:54 » lyrics
   if there’s hope in the night
   in the ambulance lights
   if there’s a dream you’re holding
   that never ends right
   if there’s a love that’s waiting
   if you’d end the fight
   if there’s a chance to make things
   a little better this time
