Make It Through Another Night (2015)
Jaws of Life
One last drunken clinch/kiss
And this metal holds me tighter than you ever did
Don’t release that grip I don’t want to breathe again tonight
Flashing lights burn through my eyelids
Illuminating these regrets
Last mistake I made imprinted on my retina
I got my last love bite
From the Jaws of Life
Out on the road last night
And I know I’ll never want to feel that kiss again
This is my requiem so sing it back so sing it back now
This is my requiem now sing it back now sing it back
Tonight
This is my requiem
We Are the Sons and Daughters of GG Allin
We can play a show in a shithole
We can scream our lungs out to twenty kids tonight
We can come back with tales enhanced with whisky and laced with lies
Of how we barely got out of there alive
We can scream evidence through feedback
Of how our friends with kids think we’re wasting our lives
We can rationalise for hours in late night journeys in a freezing car
Of how these empty shows make everything worthwhile
This is our motivation
This is the reason why we’re all still alive
This is a repeat of a pointless story
Drenched in sweat and beer we’ll make it through another night
Make it through another fucking night
We’re lit by a fading stage light
We’re amplified by perseverance alone
We’re irrelevant spoken in past tense
But we wouldn’t trade it in for the world
Little Victories
We’ve got bottles
We’ve got petrol
We’ve got nothing
Better to do tonight
I’m not bitter
I’ve just given up with the world
Sitting here smiling
Taking you all for fools
And when did life become about
These little victories
I just used to sit around and dream
Now dreaming’s not for me
If I have to take this for one more day
I’ll kill myself before I go insane
Reach into my chest and I’ll close off these arteries
Let the dreams fade away from me
Slowly drift away
Until there’s nothing left of me
I’m still fighting
Got my back up against the wall
With my friends around me
I’m not going to take the fall
We’ve got bottles
Some still full of beer
We’ve got petrol
To get us away from here
We’ve got nothing
Better to do tonight
Straight on ‘til morning
Second star to the right
Stronger Drinks
There's a brick in my chest
Trying to push my blood around
It's inadequate to the task
There's a lump in my throat
As I contemplate my last chance
And I can tell these things they just won't last
It's time for dutch courage
It's time for stronger drinks
It's time for telling ourselves we'll be much better tomorrow
There's a brick in my chest
Trying to push my blood around
It's inadequate to the task
We've been waiting for this all our lives
So another day it just won't hurt
We're not lazy we're just too tired to move
It's time for stronger drinks
It's time for giving in
