The Bravery Song - The Dragoons Show

The faces all around me They don't smile, they just crack Waiting for our ship to come But our ship's not coming back We do our time like pennies in a jar But what are we saving for? What are we saving for? There's a smell of stale fear And it's reeking from our skins The drinking never stops Because the drinks absolve our sins We sit and grow our roots into the floor But what are we waiting for? What are we waiting for? So give me something to believe 'Cause I am living just to breathe And I need something more To keep on breathing for So give me something to believe Something's always coming You can hear it in the ground It swells into the air With the rising, rising sound And never comes but shakes the boards And rattles all the doors What are we waiting for? What are we waiting for? So give me something to believe 'Cause I am living just to breathe And I need something more To keep on breathing for So give me something to believe I am hiding from some beast But the beast was always here Watching without eyes Because the beast is just my fear That I am just nothing Thar that's just what I've become What am I waiting for? It's already done Oh So give me something to believe 'Cause I am living just to breathe And I need something more To keep on breathing for So give me something to believe And I need something more To keep on breathing for So give me something to believe

Sometimes I feel Like I wanna leave this place for good Under the ground I'll live down there without a sound And never hear These hissing voices all the same I'll disappear 'Cause living makes me feel ashamed I must believe There's more above us and below I must believe Stranded with this bitch called hope It keeps me here When all I wanna do is go It keeps me here When all I wanna do is disappear If this is it All we have and ever will If this is it Time is running out and standing still I'll leave today 'Cause there's nothing left to keep me here I'll fade away I'll turn my back and disappear The city moves Lunges up right from the ground The seething earth It opens up and spits us out This vicious child Nature never wanted us This vicious child A cancer burning black into its heart If this is it All we have and ever will If this is it Time is running out and standing still I'll leave today 'Cause there's nothing left to keep me here I'll fade away I'll turn my back and disappear Sometimes I feel Like I wanna leave this place for good Under the ground I'll live down there without a sound And never hear These hissing voices all the same I'll disappear 'Cause living makes me feel ashamed If this is it All we have and ever will If this is it Time is running out and standing still I'll leave today 'Cause there's nothing left to keep me here I'll fade away I'll turn my back and disappear I'll turn my back and disappear

There are children standing here Arms outstretched into the sky Tears drying on their face He has been here Brothers lie in shallow graves Fathers lost without a trace A nation blind to their disgrace Since he's been here And I see no bravery No bravery in your eyes anymore Only sadness And I see no bravery No bravery in your eyes anymore Only sadness Only sadness Houses burnt beyond repair The smell of death is in the air A woman weeping in despair says He has been here Tracer lighting up the sky It's another families' turn to die A child afraid to even cry out says He has been here And I see no bravery No bravery in your eyes anymore Only sadness And I see no bravery No bravery in your eyes anymore Only sadness There are children standing here Arms outstretched into the sky But no one asks the question why He has been here Old men kneel and accept their fate Wives and daughters cut and raped A generation drenched in hate Says, he has been here And I see no bravery No bravery in your eyes anymore Only sadness And I see no bravery No bravery in your eyes anymore And I see no bravery No bravery in your eyes anymore Only sadness And I see no bravery No bravery in your eyes anymore Only sadness Only sadness
