Ted Kennedy citing Robert F. Kennedy: "There is discrimination in this world and slavery and slaughter and starvation. Governments repress their people; millions are trapped in poverty while the nation grows rich and wealth is lavished on armaments everywhere. These are differing evils, but they are the common works of man. They reflect the imperfection of human justice, the inadequacy of human compassion, our lack of sensibility towards the suffering of our fellows. But we can perhaps remember -- even if only for a time -- that those who live with us are our brothers; that they share with us the same short moment of life; that they seek -- as we do -- nothing but the chance to live out their lives in purpose and happiness, winning what satisfaction and fulfillment they can. Surely, this bond of common faith, this bond of common goal, can begin to teach us something. Surely, we can learn, at least, to look at those around us as fellow men."

Rain clouds that could never pass Six months that could never last We just won't look back Won't look back Let's head down to Ivar's on the Sound See if the sun won't come around With us, it's leave Queen Anne behind Well I spent two weeks cheating death Just to make a monument Cross the great Northwest What I've left behind Fuck I-5 let's take the side streets home Vancouver never felt so close When will the Cascades follow Down with the empty bottles We'll bring this city down with us Save the wreck for another day Remember when we walked to Eastlake Kicking rocks up with our heels I'd miss the smell of Puget Sound Or Alaska Airlines Field This ain't where we grew up But it's where we belong These four walls won't be around anymore Fuck I-5 let's take the side streets home Vancouver never felt so close When will the Cascades follow Down with the empty bottles We'll bring this city down with us Save the wreck for another day This Ave has come to promise The dreams that we gave up on While stars still rise on Pike Place Brick roads can never replace We'll walk the miles til they feel like it was all just made for us Fuck I-5 let's take the side streets home Vancouver never felt so close Fuck I-5 let's take the side streets home Vancouver never felt so close When will the Cascades follow Down with the empty bottles We'll bring this city down with us Save the wreck for another day This Ave has come to promise The dreams that we gave up on While stars still rise on Pike Place We'll walk the miles til they feel like it was all just made for us

Know I haven't seen you much when the sun's up But you never seemed to care Nights spent on the hood of my car And your Rita Hayworth hair What can I tell you to make it feel alright? What can you tell me to make it feel alright? We'll save time and now You know I won't forget you As the state lines cross the continent Ever I live, always knew that you was heaven sent Like fire in the sound Wanna put this whole town to shame Now I wanna spend these ever-passing days with you Though wish I never asked you your name Should we come on out this ballroom floor And see what this night can do Like show our secrets, break our walls Maybe tell myself why I'm with you Probably laugh like you did When I showed you around In the passenger seat On the outskirts of town You know your eyes light up With New York inside them You know I won't forget you As the state lines cross the continent Ever I live, always knew that you was heaven sent Like fire in the sound Wanna put this whole town to shame Now I wanna spend these ever-passing days with you Though wish I never asked you your name I wanna see you again tonight Don't wanna tell you it's the last time We've worked all day and hurt all night To throw this all away When our cardboard cuts finally heal From the blood on the pages we'll write Every day til we find our way Through this grayscale Seattle sky You know I won't forget you As the state lines cross the continent Ever I live, always knew that you was heaven sent Like fire in the sound Wanna put this whole town to shame Now I wanna spend these ever-passing days with you Though wish I never asked you your name

All of your love I'm leaving behind All the right words at all the wrong time As love comes like a grand parade and leaves just like a thief In the cold Northlake December with our hearts dropped at our feet We know We can't let this go One more night to know We knew we were boundless trapped in runaway cars Tell me how you love me, it won't stop this racing heart From lightyears away Above the shades of gray Tell me how you love me, won't stop your racing heart I won't stop this racing heart Let's wake up knowing that we spent this best we can As the hourglass bleeds its fleeting sand When the cruelest universe determines we've run out of time See you on the winding highway city limits of my mind We know We can't let this go One more night to know We knew we were boundless trapped in runaway cars Tell me how you love me, it won't stop this racing heart From lightyears away Above the shades of gray Tell me how you love me, won't stop your racing heart I won't stop this racing heart Boundless like the constellations The stories told when we were just kids Boundless like your kiss on top my car When we we're dressed in moonlight Boundless like the memories in pure remorse we leave behind And we We knew we were boundless And we We knew we were boundless We knew we were boundless trapped in runaway cars Tell me how you love me, it won't stop this racing heart From lightyears away Above the shades of gray Tell me how you love me, won't stop this racing heart I won't stop this racing heart Tell me how you love me, it won't stop this racing heart I won't stop this racing heart Tell me how you love me, it won't stop this racing heart

As vision fades the nightmares set off by the phone light The pen is strong but phantom limbs always keep me awake Senses drained, surrendered to decay We'll break these bones, wrong our rights, live for today When you've lost count of what's been lost When you're left with what you have A home and heart in the Northeast Open arms collapse In this war with myself every day This blood runs too cold to be this far away Tried to run in fight or flight But I collapsed again Is it alright if we spend our days Hopeless, trying to forget Never meant to cause the accident Stop it from the start instead Can I better live with myself If we never even met When you've lost count of what's been lost When you're left with what you have A home and heart in the Northeast Open arms collapse In this war with myself every day This blood runs too cold to be this far away These roads that, we've chosen A thousand lies untold when Nothing reciprocates Just part of your creation Stray from our once firm path In the end, you didn't know, I wore the same mask In the end, you didn't know In the end, you didn't know In the end, you didn't know In the end, you didn't know You were my morning star A flower through the ground On the first day of spring As if this life could've been anything to me Forget not where we've been Forget not what we did Or how the top of the world felt before we finally caved in When you've lost count of what's been lost When you're left with what you have A home and heart in the Northeast Open arms collapse In this war with myself every day This blood runs too cold to be this far away These roads that, we've chosen A thousand lies untold when Nothing reciprocates Just part of your creation (In the end, you didn't know) Stray from our once firm path (In the end, you didn't know ) In the end, you didn't know, I wore the same mask In the end, you didn't know In the end, you didn't know

Save yourself this is not A friendship to undermine I've seen the blood in your eyes And we don't understand it You were that glowing light A shining ember guiding Us through the darkest night Where you've now left us blinded To the one who could never change me For better or worse Woah-oh So you say you can never break free On your own Woah-oh Now you know where to find me And there's no time to run You'll burn this fucking town After you save yourself It's been your aspiration Your forensic complex Predisposed with ego Leading you to your wreck Choke on your lies that you tell so well To the one To the one who could never change me For better or worse Woah-oh So you say you can never break free On your own Woah-oh It's not a test why you're a nervous wreck There's nothing you can say to bring you back into it Set a fire to the bed you made Before you forget what you meant to everyone but me Don't you recall, I was not the first to fall but the last to quit I fell through to rock bottom and into your element What happened to your determination? Or was it just ill-will that you've spilled til you found a replacement? I knew you would never make it happen Because no one could ever make you fucking happy To the one who could never change me For better or worse Woah-oh So you say you can never break free On your own Woah-oh To the one who could never change me For better or worse Woah-oh Now you know where to find me And there's no time to run You'll burn this fucking town After you save yourself

What'd you miss? The Christmas lights or restless nights Was dying to give in Don't pretend I know exactly what this is cause I Already wrote the end To lift you up Then break you down To let you fall again At Echo Lake, I'll find you here again Safe at peace where we belonged As forecast calls for Storms of centuries At Echo Lake, I'll find you home I don't easily lose hope But I know when to give up Left with nothing to miss And that's alright to live with Estimate our time is short But hindsight's all we've got This ends in bed with tears to mask the fading memories To lift you up Then break you down To let you fall again At Echo Lake, I'll find you here again Safe at peace where we belonged As forecast calls for Storms of centuries At Echo Lake, I'll find you home You're so intermittent The damage is permanent Even where we are Scars won't heal so easily And I know, yeah I know it's still my fault Breathe deep as the shadows fall Runway to the hospital Leaving bitterness behind Her screams shaking through the walls You're right, no it's all my fault At Echo Lake, I'll find you home At Echo Lake, I'll find you here again Safe at peace where we belonged As forecast calls for Storms of centuries At Echo Lake, I'll find you home At Echo Lake, I'll find you here again Safe at peace where we belonged As forecast calls for Storms of centuries At Echo Lake, I'll find you home At Echo Lake, I'll find you home At Echo Lake, I'll find you home

Suffocated by your smokescreen The colors turn to darkest gray Here in mind but not in heart So where's your intuition The master plan you tried to craft When you went behind my back Save it now I don’t wanna hear it It’s not you, no I don’t believe it Do you see shadows on the ceiling And I know You won’t miss me anymore No there’s no room to share left in our hearts (Left in our hearts) What went wrong (What went wrong) Always said I loved you more That’s the record that plays all night long (All night long) Since you’re gone (since you’re gone) Fool me once you'll fool me twice Silence amplified regrets And I hope you know, the tree remembers while the axe forgets So syncopate your heartbeat Hit and miss our idle hands Everything we love is either dead or damned Save it now I don’t wanna hear it It’s not you no I don’t believe it Do you see shadows on the ceiling And I know You won’t miss me anymore No there’s no room to share left in our hearts (Left in our hearts) What went wrong (What went wrong) Always said I loved you more That’s the record that plays all night long (All night long) Since you’re gone (since you’re gone) Out of sight, out of mind How did you get so trapped inside? Cut the brakes, put out fires I'm bound by your desires This ain't no home where we both know Ain't no home where we can love Ain't no home where we can feel Ain't no home that we can trust You won’t miss me anymore No there’s no room to share left in our hearts (Left in our hearts) What went wrong (What went wrong) Always said I loved you more That’s the record that plays all night long (All night long) Since you’re gone (since you’re gone) Out of sight, out of mind How did you get so trapped inside?
