Boyhood Bravery EP

by Boyhood Bravery

1.
Standards
lyrics
Standards Maybe you were held in too high of standards But bikinis, short skirts, and leggings are getting old Maybe I’m a waste of vocal chords and silhouettes Feeling like a ghost I’m just sick of the cold So pack your belonging and forget your standards and your clothes All I have is a pen and some ink But you are all along and your dark side shows Among the wreck of insecurities and a choir full of teens I’m sick of the cold I’m sick of the wet And I’m sick of these standards Walking in the night you were looking rather nervous Held tight to my arm and whispered “Luke I’m scared” There are wolves inside the street hiding their sins in the darkness They’re terrible fiends eating half broken hearts and the ghouls inside my head corrupt the standards I was born with they haunt all my dreams and tie my neck to a post so maybe I’m a waste of this corpse i’ve made before my death feeling kind of cold, I’m just sick of these ghosts I’m sick of the cold I’m sick of the wet And I’m sick of these standards But I keep having this dream that you get swallowed by a darkness And the image appears so vividly “redemption” she prays, it seems so far in the distance Thats when I realize that the darkness is me I’m sick of the cold I’m sick of the wet And I’m watching more young hearts grow… And I’m sick of those.

Tell Me Something
lyrics
Tell Me Something Tell me something, say you mean it Because I’ve been lied to one too many times Hold me closer, make me love the air Make it hard for me to go away I will write a book of poems And I will write your name on the first page Tattered pages worn along the seams Soaked in stories, meaning everything And you’ve got hair like silk and eyes like roses Give me back my heart, I let it go Moonlight sits in streams along the road Dancing in your eyes, we’re heading home And like the night we will catch the moon And like the night we will pass away So say you love me, say you mean it Because I’ve been lied to twice too many times Grab my arm before I leave the door And make it hard for me to go away Make it hard for me to go and pass away
3.
To All His Friends
lyrics
To All His Friends Please don’t take my baby cousin Don’t take a life before it starts and I know there’s is dirt inside his blood stream I just hope you’re in his heart For Dean we prayed for God to save him To keep his body in the light Too strong to feel the clock was ticking Two months too weak to win the fight (We are more than the flesh that binds us to look past the skin and scarring years what's left behind is just a heap of muscle the heart gives in to decay and disappears) Everybody was praying for him And every body ends up in the ground Even wolves will die with voices calling To a moon that shines, but never makes a sound Now tears are swelling from his mother And years are passing by like sand He’ll hold on to each breath of fire And I’ll hold on to his hand The meters rang a tone like silence The room trembled like the voice That called the time That said his name That treated death and sin the same To all his friends To love his life To make a mark before he died To feel the force Of words like “death” For every count of every breath I loved the way He said goodbye And I prayed everyday And he laid in the grave I praised anyway

Hallelujah
lyrics
Hallelujah You don’t have to sleep outside, i’ll rest my ear against the window Wait for you to get home and I’ll unlock the door When we were young we were somber and lost We went looking for god, but he found us (He’s saying) You don’t have to talk so loud, because I’m sitting right beside you Watching tears as they fall, they’re getting swallowed by the floor you said "lord I'm a hopeless case, because these ghosts were never holy" and I can't wait to tell you I love you anyways Hallelujah So I’ll head for the fire escape because these walls are getting darker And the taller I stand, the harder it is to breathe I stumble along and reach my arms toward the door I won’t need these songs of redemption anymore So I’ll aim for the moon and I’ll Watch the light reflect off the pavement And I’ll smile at the clouds try to banish the stars above I’m praying “Lord I can hear the wolves howling off in the distance” he says “son, don’t you know that I love you?...” Hallelujah
