Bring Down Goliath

There are hatchet homes for howling souls

Where the gravel slides right off the roads

And the sun don't shine it only scolds

Electricity jumps from pole to pole

You wake up there and your hearts a mess

You've got to get what's eating you off your chest

For even a ghost could use some rest

From never-ending terror

You've got skeletons spilling out of your drawers

And your tongue's swollen from biting down so hard

You say it aint true but you know that you are

The one they're all spilling for

So you run as if you could slice through the air

Then you turn to see the past is still right there

And she's running her fingers through the waves in your hair

Whispering go ahead and try and escape me

You've got to get wise to your size 'cause you're crawling

Can't quite call them blue skies at all my friend

And the sun will rise or set

With your hope or regret

So how come you whisper why not let out a scream

Why open the road when you can float on a stream

You've got to go down in the dirt if you want to come up clean

What happened to your confidence and charisma

I can hear your voice now floating in the sky

Talking about truth and the lies that it implies

Beauty is your umbrella and you always hold it high

To shield you from the shower of dissension

All the chaos-tongues and the rattling teeth

Predict the future so digest your grief

For even a ghost could stand to loose some sleep

Over never-ending terror

Now there's a statue in every square or park

For teenagers to mutilate after dark

Saying this is that of which we want no part

With piss and spit and spray-paint

You've got to aim high if you want to bring down Goliath

Because it aint just a stone when it aint just one life

And the sun will rise or set

With your hope or regret
