lyrics

In the back of a little record shop,
(A crowd is gathering)
In the dark part of a bright city.
(The walls are vibrating)
In the back of a little record shop,
(The crowd is waiting)
In the darkness at the heart of town.

It’s loud and it’s sweaty
here and the crowd is hungry,
Riding electric waves
To crash again upon the stage.
The band plays on,
Screaming their lives in their desperate songs
Like this is all they have,
Making sense of imperfect math.

As we dance there,
Eyes closed, hearts bare,
They turned the lights on
and said, “get fucking gone.
You kids with your musics.”
So impulsive and reckless.
They made up new crimes
Trying to get us back in time.

I eat discographies and artists biographies.
I need this beating heart sweetened by beats and art.

This city is hiding behind closed doors
That kids aren’t supposed to know about yet.
This city is trying to close doors
That kids don’t even know they want open yet.

But every time a venue gets shut down,
We'll find another stage, another place to play.
I spend my life searching for sounds,
That inspire me to write a song
That inspires them to sing along
That inspires them to write a song
That will mean everything to someone
When they need it most.

This is where we go when we don’t want to be alone.

We are just kids at heart and
We want our lives kick started
We scream for art incarnate
We live for constant struggle

We see a shot at greatness
We see the light in darkness
We seize the brightness in us
We are the constant struggle

We search for imperfection
We search for works of passion
We search for real emotion
This is the constant struggle.
