We're all presidents, We're all congressmen,
          D
We're all cops in waiting.
          A
We're the workers of the world.
         E7
There is the elite and the dispossessed
         F#m
and it's only about survival,
        D
Who has skill to play the game
             A
for all it's worth,
                                    E7
and reach an obscure kind of perfection. Let's try and keep

                F#m B  D            F#m
as much emotion out of this as possible.
Let's try not to remember any names.

We'll do it for our country, for our people, for a moral vision.

F#m     B               D             F#m
United, we'll make them remember, Our history,

Or how we like to be told...
		  D
How we like to be told,
       A
and we rock, because it's us against them.
We found our own reasons to sing,
and it's so much less confusing
When lines are drawn like that,
When people are either

F#m
consumers or revolutionaries,
D
enemies or friends hanging on the fringes
       A
Of the cogs in the system.
                E7
It's just about knowing where everyone stands.
all of a sudden, People start talking about guns,

        F#m  B       D        F#m
Talking like they're going to war
                                   E
'cause they found something to die for.
            F#m   B         D
Start taking back what they stole;
		       F#m
Sure beats every other option,
                                     E7
But does it make a difference how we get it?
				D
Well, do you really fucking get it?

Walking Is Still Honest

Intro: Bm G D A

Bm
East and West could not agree
                                                         G
So their generals gave a call and gathered troops at the border
Bm
With guns ready, drawn and aimed

each side was praying to a God
                                G
to bless them with strength and courage


           A      D          G       D              A     
And it was in His name the artillery lit the sky on fire
                A       D        G                D         A  
The people sang protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun.

Bm                             G   
Protest Songs in a response to Military Aggression
D                                 A
Protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun
                     Bm (intro again)
But the battle raged on......

Bm
Sirens filled the air and the ground shook with war
                                                  G
Civilian casualties has been a cost that was predetermined
Bm
When interviewed for report victims pleaded in frustration
                                         G 
Their claim: That this was a war without reason

      A        D         G               D           A 
Bureaucrats engaged in debate to try and reach a resolution
                A       D        G                D         A 
The people sang protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun.

Bm                             G
Protest Songs in a response to Military Aggression
D                                 A 
Protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun
                     Bm (intro)
But the battle raged on......

    A                    D              G            D 
The Broadcast like their prayers went unanswered and ignored
A
God, like the rest of the world, just watched in silence
          A             D                  G              D 
There was purpose to be served, there were fortunes to be earned
   A 
before a peace could be called to stop the fighting.

          Bm                             G
They sang protest songs in a response to Military Aggression
D                                 A 
Protest songs to try and stop the soldier's gun
                     Bm
But the battle raged on......

Evelyn sits by the elevator doors 
          C                                          Am
It's been 37 years since James died on St. Patrick's day in 1964 
    G
She could not hold it against him 
           Am                                       C
There were times there was nothing she could do but lie in bed all day 
                         Am                     G                F
Beside a picture of them together, a picture of better days 


And just like James, I'll be drinking Irish tonight
        G
And the memory of his last work week will be gone forever
F              Am            G
Evelyn I'm not coming home tonight 
         F                      Am
If we're never together, if I'm never back again 
     G
Well I swear to god that I'll love you forever

In all the years that went by she said she'd always love him 
             G                                F
And from the day that he died she never loved again 
       F                      Am
In his wallet she kept in her nightstand 
                   G           F
An A.A. card and a lock of red hair 
                    F                            Am     
She kept secrets of pride locked so tight in her heart 
                    G                       F
It killed a part of her before the rest was gone. 
              F                           Am
She said, "if I would have known just how things would have ended up 
  G                          F
I just would have let myself die."

    F                                 Am
And just like James, I'll be drinking Irish tonight
        G
And the memory of his last work week will be gone forever
F              Am            G
Evelyn I'm not coming home tonight 
         F                      Am
If we're never together, if I'm never back again

Well I swear to god that I'll love you forever

Baby, I'm An Anarchist

C		
Not one more word tonight
      Am	
between here and there
	    G
We'll put a distance the size of the ocean
           F
so now his heart can be a skipping rythem
As the cadence carries me
I almost drift away
far enough to forget
but when it comes you cannot hesitate
and when found I will write
on account and seal it in an envelope
addressed to your last known residence

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaoooooooooooooooo

and we sink and we drowned
and what is lost can never be found
well these arms did swim, 
until the lungs pulled in
panic was lost in a deep understanding
that you will see what is wrong with everything
what is wrong with you and me
they make all the right reasons to fuck it up
you gotta fuck it up

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaoooooooooooooooo

(That sounded pretty good to me)
(I thought it was pretty good)

Maybe lay face down in the river and float

Perfect weather for a head wound
               C                              Am
Or studying sophisticated nuances of putting holes in your lungs

150 Marilyns, the war and the bomb
C                                   Am

F         G                    C
All the devils that you don't know
               F

[Verse 2]
C                          G
I saw the 'Renown Orders of the Night' in person
C                               Am
Why would I ever meet that with irony or cynicism?
F                                      G
Planned views and elevations walking through your tarot garden
C                         Am
Visible mutations fading right before your fucking eyes
F                          G                      C
Cycles of death and regeneration, sensations of absence and loss
C                                      Am
Wish you had been there by my side to see it all
F               G
333, say that they knew me
C                Am
333, bring your love back to me


[Chorus]
F         G                   C

	    C       A5
When you sleep,
F
No one is homeless.
	   C        A5
When you sleep,
F
You can't feel the hunger.
 	   F
When you sleep,
	 C	      G
No one is lonely in a dream.

Without classes,
	F
Without nations...
	   C      A5
When you sleep,
       F
She's standing there with open arms,
     C	    A5		       F
And one night could last forever,

And if you asked her,
      C          G
She'd never let go...
		 F
And you'd stay forever...


	F
And the sun's always rising
       A5	     G
In the sky somewhere,
			     F
And if young hearts should explode

From all the lies they've been told...
	C	            G
Let the new night bring you peace
		     F
And the promise of tomorrow,


	     C A5 F
Where we can wake to a new beginning.
 C      A5     F
Tomorrow I'll all but have lost their faces;

My friends and family,
   C		      G
Memories of all we had
			     F
And the times we should have lived,
         C  A5        F
And tomorrow America just might fall apart.
C       A5
Tomorrow, tell me,
F
Where will you wake up?
				        C
Beyond title, beyond these careers and laws,
 	  G		         F
Something more than borders on a map...


	F
And the sun's always rising
       A5	    G
In the sky somewhere,
			     F
And if young hearts should explode

From all the lies they've been told...
   C 		     G
To live through one night like this,
		          C
I would trade it for the silence...

8 Full Hours Of Sleep

Intro:  F#m

   F#m
Beautiful to live in poverty
          Asus4 
Just to spite what they're selling
                     E
Take a thousand hits to prove the rest and I'll move in
                              D
Millimeters still won't mean shit against well-done subversion

             F#m
Fathers of invention will one day turn in their graves
            Asus4
When their own sons and daughters
                           E
Manifest destiny into a lesson to others
                                    D
Sent away my crippled, let the old ones categorize their deathcamps, they're all dead

 A
It'll burn burn burn      
             
Like they did to the Anarchists at their stakes
            E
And it'll burn burn burn

Like the histories they stole from us
       D
One day patriotic thugs will dance to songs of justice
       A                       E
And cringe, and rack guns of shame                          

 F#m
Well it may take a team of well-rounded hoodlums
     Asus4
In full riot gear to unrest objection
   E
A well-controlled media to pick out our terrorists
         D
When beaurocrats start dying from cancer

                       F#m
There are already businessmen who'll market bottled water
                Asus4
And purified aerosol solution, guess who's their target
  E
Seven approaching a measure off the map
            D
And you'll see me dance in the street once again

 A
It'll burn burn burn
                   
Like they did to the Anarchists at their stakes
            E
And it'll burn burn burn

Like the histories they stole from us
           D
One day patriotic thugs will dance to songs of justice
       A                       E
And cringe, and rack guns of shame                          

            
And it'll burn burn burn like they did to the Anarchists           
And it'll burn burn burn like the histories they stole from us
One day patriotic thugs will dance to songs of justice
And give apologies for immeasurably acted perfection

 A
It'll burn burn burn
                   
Like they did to the Anarchists at their stakes
            E
And it'll burn burn burn

Like the histories they stole from us
           D
One day patriotic thugs will dance to songs of justice

And cringe, and rack guns of shame

You left home for a fresh start,

Don't it seem so detached and unreal? Don't it seem so far away?
         Bm                             A
Like the past never happened, or like nothing's ever changed.

With your casket open in front of me,
            G
your eyes closed and your lips silent.

I didn't listen to the preacher.

I couldn't look your husband in the eyes.

I'm not sure what I meant to you then,

so I'm not sure what I owe you now.

But if something I said hurt you

You will lose it all.

that thinks we're taking our selves to seriously,
             D
Just a little too enamored with inflated self-purpose.

Is there something wrong with these songs?

Rebecca intro

G   Bm  C   Am

G                                                   Bm
We want a band that plays loud and hard every night
                                                     C
That doesn't care how many people are counted at the door
                                                             G
That would travel one million miles and ask for nothing more than a plate

of food and a place to rest
G
They'd strike chords that cut like a knife
                      Bm
It would mean so much more than t-shirts or a ticket stub
                                  C
They'd stop at nothing short of a massacre
                                                             G
Everyone would leave with the memory that there was no place else in the

world And this was where they always belonged
Am                             C
We would dance like no one was watching
     G
With one fist in the air
Am             C              G
Our arena just basements and bookstores across an underground America
G
With this fire we could light

GGGG


Just gimme a scene where the music is free
And the beer is not the life of the party
There's no need to shit talk or impress
'Cause honesty and emotion are not looked down upon
And every promise that's made and bragged
is meant if not kept
We'd do it all because we have to, not because we know why
Beyond a gender, race, and class, we could find what really holds us back
Let's make everybody sing
That they are the beginning and ending of everything
That we all are stronger than everything they taught us that we should fear

End On G

The Disco Before The Breakdown

F#m
We're all presidents,
We're all congressmen,
             D
We're all cops
in waiting.
          A
We're the workers of the world.
        E
There is the elite and the dispossessed
        F#m
And it's only about survival,
       D
Who has skill to play the game
               A
For all it's worth,
                                     E
Reaching out for a scary kind of perfection.
Let's try to keep
               B      D
As much emotion out of this
            F#m
As possible.
Let's try not to remember any names.
                    E
We'll do it for our country,
For our people,
For a moral vision.
 B                         D
United, we'll make them remember
           F#m
Our history,
		    E
Or how we like to be told...
		 D
How we like to be told,
N.C.
And we rock,
Because it's us against them.
We found our own reasons to sing,
And it's so much less confusing
When lines are drawn like that,
When people are either

   F#m
Consumers or revolutionaries,
D
Enemies or friends hanging on the fringes
      A
Of the cogs in the system.
               E
It's just about knowing where everyone stands.
            F#m
All of a sudden,
People start talking about guns,
       B                     D
Talking like they're going to war
          F#m                     E
'Cause they found something to die for.
           F#m
Start taking back what they stole;
			   D
Sure beats every other option,
A                                   E
But does it make a difference how we get it?
				F#m
Well, do you really fucking get it?
Noooo noooo nooooo nooooo
A                                   E
Nooo noo no no  ahnah noo noo noo noo
                 F#m               E
Nooo no

                  E5
Your tells are so obvious
                          A
Shoulders too broad for a girl
          E5
Keeps you reminded
                                  A
Helps you remember where you come from


                 F#m
You want them to notice
A
The ragged ends of your summer dress
E5                                     A
You want them to see you like they see every other girl
                    F#m
But they just see a faggot
A                                       B
They hold their breath not to catch the sick
E5
Washed up on the coast
                             A         Am
I wish we could've spent the whole day alone
E5
Washed up on the coast
                             A         Am
I wish we could've spent the whole day alone
E5
Washed up on the coast
                             A          C#5
I wish we could've spent the whole day alone
     A    Am
With you


              E5
You've got no cunt in your strut
                      A
You've got no hips to shake
                  E5
And you know it's obvious
                              A
But we can't choose how we're made


                 F#m
You want them to notice
A
The ragged ends of your summer dress
E5                                     A
You want them to see you like they see every other girl
                    F#m
But they just see a faggot
A                                       B
They hold their breath not to catch the sick
E5
Washed up on the coast
                             A         Am
I wish we could've spent the whole day alone
E5
Washed up on the coast
                             A         Am
I wish we could've spent the whole day alone
E5
Washed up on the coast
                             A          C#5
I wish we could've spent the whole day alone
     A    Am
With you

G                             Am
All dressed up and nowhere to go,
Em          D           C  
Walking the streets all alone.
G                                Am
Another night you wish you could forget,
Em     D                     C 
Making yourself up as you go along.

Yet to be born, you're already dead,
Em            D              C   
Sleep with a gun beside you in bed.
G                                Am
Follow it through to the obvious end,
Em                     D          C 
Slit your veins right open, you bleed it out.

You should've been a mother,

You should've been a wife.
                   G              D
You should've been gone from here years ago,
              C
You should be living a different life.

[Verse]

Cmaj7 Em G Em x4

Two coffins for sleep.
One for you, one for me.
We'll get there eventually.
In the dark of our graves our bodies will decay.
I wish you'd never change.


[Chorus]

Cmaj7 G Em x2
Cmaj7 G Em G x2

How lucky I ever was to see
the way that you smiled at me.
Your little moon face shining bright at me.
One day soon there'll be nothing left of you and me.


[Interlude]

Cmaj7 Em G Em x2

Two coffins for sleep.
Two coffins for sleep.


[Verse]

Cmaj7 Em G Em x4

All the things I have yet to lose will someday be gone too.
Back into annihilation.
All things will fade, maybe it's better off that way.
I wish you'd stay with me.


[Chorus]

Cmaj7 G Em x2
Cmaj7 G Em G x2

How lucky I ever was to see

Your little moon face shining bright at me.
One day soon there'll be nothing left of you and me.

Two coffins for sleep.
Two coffins for sleep.

How lucky I ever was to see
the way that you smiled at me.
Your little moon face shining bright at me.
One day soon there'll be nothing left of you and me.

Cmaj7 Em G Em x4

Two coffins for sleep.
Two coffins for sleep.
Two coffins for sleep.
Two coffins for sleep.

Two Coffins

intro: Bm

Bm
Well do you want to talk about it, 
Do you think you'd understand, 
How things can get so fucked up 
With such good, such good intentions. 
        G
And If     roofs turn to sky, 
         Bm
Held by the gravity of nothing, 
    G                    Bm        A
An ironic and literal making of a bed. 
          G
you know,    You can walk away, 
A                 Bm 
  But there is a reason to stay.

Bm 
They make bad bad jokes, it's okay not to laugh. 

For every push foward, you get the same fucking push back. 
          G                         Bm
You have nowhere to go, so you found someplace, 
     G                             Bm      pause
you have nothing to say you start lying 
G                         A
What the fuck were you thinking
           D
I'm not sorry 
                G       
I'd do it all again. 
                                                      A
Now with all the lines so burred between hate, love, and revenge
D                         G (let ring)
Are just just just dead feelings.

Unsubstantiated Rumors Are Good Enough For Me

Intro: 
A Asus2 A F#m D A Asus2 D


Verse:
A                        Asus2
Headed down south to the land of the pines
         F#m                 D
And I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline
A
Starin' up the road
    Asus2              D
And pray to God I see headlights
A                           Asus2
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours
F#m                      D
Pickin' me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
A 
And I'm a hopin' for Raleigh
Asus2                 D
So I can see my baby tonight


Chorus:
A                       Asus2
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
F#m            D
Rock me mama anyway you feel
A A/G#    D        
Hey mama rock me
A                     Asus2
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
F#m                  D
Rock me mama like a south-bound train
A A/G#   D
Hey mama rock me

(Same chord progression rest of the song)

Runnin' from the cold up in New England
I was born to be a fiddler in an old-time string band
My baby plays the guitar
I pick a banjo now
Oh, the North country winters keep a gettin' me now
Lost my money playin' poker so I had to up and leave
But I ain't a turnin' back
To livin' that old life no more

Chorus

Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke
I caught a trucker out of Philly
Had a nice long toke
But he's a headed west from the Cumberland Gap 
To Johnson City, Tennessee
And I gotta get a move on fit for the sun
I hear my baby callin' my name
And I know that she's the only one
And if I die in Raleigh
At least I will die free

Chorus

D riff                      
Dear mother,
                            
This is just survival.
                    B             A            
Cannot promise your children everything,
              B               A                    
But you would lie so they can sleep tonight.
D riff                                                   
Defeat tasted nothing like you said.
                   B                   A             
Still 22 days left till the end of the world.
   B          A            E                
My legacy was making you a man
                          G                   
For a justice I could not change.
                         E                
This is one voice not to forget;
                                G       
"Fight every fight like you can win;
                   E              
An iron fisted champion,
        G           D                    
An iron willed fuck up."


    G                   D                                         
Can anybody tell me why God won't speak to me?   
    A                           B                A                
Why Jesus never called on me to part the fucking seas?  
    G                    D                
Why death is easier than living? 
                  A               
You can be almost anything 
            B               A             
When you're on your fucking knees.
    G                    
Not today,
       D              
Not my son,
       A                 
Not my family,
          B                A                  
Not while walking is still honest,
        G                   D        
And you haven't given up on me.

B  A  G    B  A 

D riff                      
Dear shithead,
                                   
This isn't happening; 
    B             A               
The sky is really falling,
    B                   A            
The paint's all made of lead,
D riff                                         
There's asbestos in the walls,
                                                      
Hell's come over to rip off the doors
       B          A           B           A                 
To the priveleged mansion.
                        E              
Do you want to love and feel it?
                           G             
You can look but you can't taste it.
                               E           
You can reach but you'll never have it.
         G                    
We are untouchable;
                            D       
Untouchable is something to be.


    G                   D                                         
Can anybody tell me why God won't speak to me?   
    A                           B                A                
Why Jesus never called on me to part the fucking seas?  
    G                    D                
Why death is easier than living?

You can be almost anything

Not today,

Not while walking is still honest,
        G                   D        
And you haven't given up on me.
        B       A           G          
And you haven't given up on me,
        B       A         D              
And you haven't forgotten me...

Please tell me why we couldn't stay

Don't let this feeling ever go away

Let this memory forever be inside of me
        A                   D
Through every hour of every day
              A                E
It's with the company of these friends
        D 
That we drove on through the night
A               E                 D
we were carried by the wheels of Armageddon. 
F#m                  E                   D
         We're gonna force ourselves to live

         Thankful it's hurt more than we've ever felt
E                       D
          It's just our means to an end




 A               E
Please tell me why we couldn't stay

               A               D
Don't let this feeling ever go away

we were carried by the wheels of Armageddon.
         F#m                               E
And honestly we were armed with our best intentions
             D
Maybe those intentions alone
      F#m                 E                D
are just enough to get us anywhere but here
       E          F#m
In the middle of America
  D                           E         F#m           D
Six cylinders will take us further than any president
                          E    F#m             D
The same promises that we forgot the last time
                                  E           F#m             D
There's no difference between staying and a bullet in the head

 
                   A               E
So Fuckin' tell me why we couldn't stay

               A               D
Don't let this feeling ever go away

A               E                 D
we were carried by the wheels of Armageddon. 
                 F#m
Maybe it's gonna come from the radio
       E
Or the next 8 hour day
D
Driving to the next town
                            F#m           E  
A collect call home to your best friend
                   D
We are the company we keep
                      E     F#m          D
We could live off of dumpsters if we have to
                       E   F#m             D
Sell our blood by the pint to make rent
                      E      F#m    D
This kind of dignity doesn't come easy
                 E    F#m      D
But you'll never find it for sale



       A               E
That's why we couldn't stay
               A               D
Don't let this feeling ever go away
                 A  E          
Cause it's a memory inside of us
                           A                   D
Through every hour through every day until we die
              A                E
It's with the company of these friends
        D 
That we drove on through the night
A               E                 D
we were carried by the wheels of Armageddon.

I wake up in the morning and I drink from the fountain.
C
I wake up in the morning with the same unanswered questions.
         F                    G                C
I don't know what's going to cure my unsettled stomach.
C
Street kids collect spare change in a conch shell on the side walk;
C
Their teeth are yellow, their hair is tangled.
         F                    G                     C

Pony tails swinging back and forth behind beach blonde college girls out for a jog.
       F                      G              C
Saint Augustine, shine your light down on me!

Pop hits from the 90's echo out of tourist filled bars.

Looking for context and perspective, looking for some kind of distraction.
Dm                     G           C          F        
White crosses on the church lawn, I want to smash them all.

Am

but all that a stranger would see
        Dm           Gm               C     
is one girl swaying alone stroking her cheek

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me

And then they are bored of me
             
                    F
I know that its exciting
                     Am
running through the night but
              Dm                Am
every perfect summer's eating me alive
            A#    Dm
unitl youre gone
Gm          C
Better on my own

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me
         Am     A# 
You're a liability
          Dm         Gm    C
You're a little much for me"
               F              Am 
So they pull back make other plans

[Outro]

They're gonna watch me disappear into the sun
                 Dm        F           A#
You're all gonna watch me disappear into the sun

Why Cry

[Verse 1]
 G                              D
You like New York City in the daytime
 Bm                   A
I like New York City in the nighttime
 G                          D
You say you like sleeping with the air off
Bm                  A
I don't, I need it on
G                  D
You like the light coming through the windows
 Bm                      A
I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D
You ignore the music on the radio
Bm                 A
I don't, I sing-a-long


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no
    G              D          Bm    A
And you don't ask for me to change


[Chorus]
N.C.                     D
Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                   A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why
 G              D
You can call it fire and ice
    Bm                  A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
We don't even know why, no no
Bm                          A
We don't even know why, no no no


[Post-Chorus]
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time


[Verse 2]
G                        D
Cold outside and you're just in a T-shirt
Bm                   A
I have cold blood even in a sweater
G                         D
You start your night sippin' by the Kilo
Bm                   A
I don't, I know you know


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no
    G              D          Bm    A
And you don't ask for me to change



[Chorus]
N.C.                     D
Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D

Verse 1
    D                              Bm7
We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A
I don't even know her name, I guess foolish pride's to blame


Chorus

And my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day

Son, I missed my chance

Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase

Ask her to dance, go on, son
           G                 A              G                  A
You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say

As She's Walking Away

Am                              E
There are children standing here,
                              G
Arms outstretched into the sky,
                          D
Tears drying on their face.
              Am
He has been here.
                          E
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
                           G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                           D
A nation blind to their disgrace,
                        Am
Since he's been here.
                    E
And I see no bravery,
 G                  D
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
