The Songs They Sing

from I Am the Dust by Scouts Honor

/

lyrics

Pass it 'round. Feel it burning as it's going down. And, she can brag about it. She'll be the hippest kid in her hometown. 'Cause now she's found how the older kids have been hanging out. Another night. Another beer. Drunk and angry, she ain't got no fear or reason to complain about it. Except for with those she's been hanging out with. They're equipped with a momentum to take down all of this. The songs that they sing, they sing every night on tour, and the games that people play, they play right back. There's a couple in the bedroom and another in the balcony. The living room floor is packed. Tomorrow they'll be another button on your backpack. There's a boy in the next room saying, "It sure is nice to meet you. Your words have been my bible in times when no one else in life felt the way that I do." Then the singer looked up and said, "I have some words for you. I once felt those words, but they've been covered up in substances and a lifestyle that does distract. So, tomorrow we'll be another button on your backpack." The songs they sing have lost their meaning. A purpose once so clear has been covered by every year that we drink and sing and waste away our lives here. These days on the road and these nights in your company have become their own habit. So, tomorrow we'll be another button.
