Modern Life Is War Tribute EP

 The Farmers Holiday Association

We came crashing down, right on time,
Like the twenty-ninth of twenty nine.
Days spent down on our knees,
Watching stolen soil sift through our fingers.
So what the fuck are we still waiting for?
For some someone to save us for the rains to come?
Watching strong foundations come undone.
We're not waiting for the dust to settle anymore.
We're marching in and we're kicking down the door.
We're not waiting for the dust to settle anymore.
We're marching in and we're kicking down the door.

All hope died when the hunger came.
First the slender cheeks, and then the sunken eyes.
And soon every dirty face just looked the same.
Common graves are calling our names.
Calling us out of a life plagued by doubt.
We used to be so fucking string.
Do you remember when we sang those songs together?
Is there no such thing as a heartfelt word in times of fair weather?
We're not waiting for the dust to settle anymore.
We're marching in and we're kicking down the door.
We're not waiting for the dust to settle anymore.
We're marching in and we're kicking down the door.

Fakes Like You (Make Me Sick)

This is a lesson in letting your guard down.
Sometimes open arms are an invitation for disaster.
So next time, I'll trust my fucking instincts.
Next time you come around all you will get are cold stares, cold shoulders.
I'll be crouching with my fists clenched in the corner.

I can only hang on tight for so long I'm letting you go.
I will be just fine on my own you can't come in.
I'm leaving you out in the cold,
Because there's no room left in my heart for fakes like you.
I can only hang on tight for so long I'm letting you go.
I will be just fine on my own you can't come in.
I'm leaving you out in the cold,
Because there's no room left in my heart for fakes like you

Health, Weath, & Peace

In the pursuit of health, wealth & peace
Try not to dwell in the rear view on momentary street.
Shun substance for distraction.
You can't squeeze love from hateful action.
Picking up the pieces from the days when youth was my religion & friends were gods.
Awoke and aged atheist in a cold sweat begging for recompense.

Accepting myself, accepting my condition.
Avoiding attachment & following my vision.
The changes I waited for never came.
My struggles of yesterday are my struggles of today.
Give me your heart again, I'll give you mine.
And maybe again, maybe in time...
Our spirits burning bonfire bright in the inky night.

Breaking The Cycle

This marks the return of a threat that we should have never taken back
To live our lives with unwavering intent and in the spirit of a new romance. 
Growing up in an age where monotony reigns...
It's so easy to keep your heart and mind locked away. 
And it's up to you to rise up...to break away. 
We've got no more time to spend spitting ugly words at our vicious circles from within. 

The time has come to adapt and reinvent. Let yourself go. 
Come unhinged. Claws out...stuck in a place where you don't fit. 
Focus or Fold....no more sitting on the fence. 
Today is the day we face ourselves and forgive 
Because the world won't wait while we fail to make amends. 
Late Night Adventure. Reckless Abandonment. 
We're going to live our lives like it's our last chance. 
Revenge: We're taking back what they stole. Prepare your soul

Destination: Death Or Better Days

We've been climbing uphill together for three years and counting.
Life kicks us when we're down but we we just keep trying.
What else can we do dwell on the past and it will bury you.
But it's getting harder to look ahead with all these conflicting thoughts in my head.
The days are too dark and they last too fucking long.
That's why we made a promise that's why we carved it in stone.
And where it was written is where it will fucking stay.
It's the sword that we will live by even if it means we have to die this way.
Destination: death or better days.
Destination: death or better days.
Destination: death or better days.

When we've had enough, we've had enough.
There's something inside of us that can't be touched.
We are, we are. We are Unbreakable.
We are, we are. We are Unbreakable.
We are, we are. We are Unbreakable.
We are, we are. We are Unbreakable.
We are, we are. We are Unbreakable.

This is where it ends. I'm putting my foot down.
I'm sick of second guessing and I'm fucking sick of falling down.
Rock bottom is a beautiful start we're rising up to show the world our scars,
From a former life that we'd rather not hide this is our time.
Destination: death or better days.
Destination: death or better days.
Destination: death or better days.

Find A Way

I believe I am here to create armed with love & knowledge I will find a way.
If you believe you are here to create seek love & knowledge and you will find a way.
If we believe we are here to create armed with love & knowledge we will find a way.

And I know there are those that would like to see me fail. 
I wish you health. I wish you wealth. I wish you could understand 
That there is nothing that you could do to me that's worse 
Than what I've already done to myself.
The Old Fears are Still Here. Still New Frontiers are Still Waiting.
If the Fear cripples You and You lose your chance to try.
You'll have to live with your own Wasted Life.

I believe I am here to create armed with love & knowledge I will find a way.
If you believe you are here to create seek love & knowledge and you will find a way.
If we believe we are here to create armed with love & knowledge we will find a way.
