lyrics

Rally Cry-

I'm trying not to get fed up
to never let up
to keep the head up
to get up
avoid the setup
I'm trying not to give a wish up
to never give up
putting a bid up
to live up
to what we did up

JB Nimble:
It'll push you to the brink in the blink of a wrinkle in time
thinking you're fine until the ink dries, what a big surprise
you live through it 'til you can die to it
arise from the ruins and find fluid leaking from your eyes moving back and forth
with a force to attack the forts
and every corpse left lifeless is in your likeness
the price is to high for what it's worth but it works
'cuz you numb it 'til nothing hurts except for your stomach
first time you let it get to you it broke you
so you felt you had to break down everyone that you were close to
bipolar by the time you were bicoastal
you'd never seen anybody in your own life that died hopeful
but you grow through the good and bad
there's no use focusing on what you wanted that you couldn't have
so everybody gather 'round put your battles down
and fix your frown 'cuz none of it matters now

I'm trying not to get fed up
to never let up
to keep the head up
to get up
avoid the setup
I'm trying not to give a wish up
to never give up
putting a bid up
to live up
to what we did up

LivIn' Poetry:
You crack a tall can and start to write
with all the feelings in your system you're just itching to resolve the fight
after falling in the dark of night you recall the light
and your innards twist a little 'cuz things aren't right
it's been storming so long there isn't a star in sight
so you sing a slow song and wish on a starless sky
hoping you hold on, thinking that it's too much
if starboard's right port's wrong, if you feeling chewed up,
but ship sailed, left you at the loading dock
big deal, not everybody gets to ever know the plot
and there you are staring at a masterpiece like it's a blank wall
really you should thank God with an open heart and stay calm
while the weight strong and heavy is the load
steady as you go, break dawn like a levy when the weather explodes
readily bold, it ain't wrong to hate it
but it's worth it to keep at it to stay strong and patient

I'm trying not to get fed up
to never let up
to keep the head up
to get up
avoid the setup
I'm trying not to give a wish up
to never give up
putting a bid up
to live up
to what we did up
I'm trying not to get fed up
to never let up
to keep the head up
to get up
avoid the setup
I'm trying not to give a wish up
to never give up
putting a bid up
to live up
to what we did up
