Lonely Gun by The Liaisons


Lyrics:

Over and out
I spiral empty towns
but I’ll brief myself at the risk of going down

Through blanketed streets
The red that runs the beneath
From the target neutralized in every crowd

You knew the operation’d come unwound
And you blew my cover when I was out on the field
Compromised the ordeal (x2)

But it’s not worth repeating songs of love 
I’m pleading
It’s not taken in with some
I’ll hit the road and run

It’s not worth repeating all the love 
I’m leaving
It’s not taken in with some
I’ll hit the road and run

Taking my place
I watch of what remains
As I’m counting off the years with every name

I learn to conceal
permission not to feel
I was trained to hold the pain to never break

You knew the operation’d come unwound
And you blew my cover when I was out on the field
Compromised the ordeal (x2)

But it’s not worth repeating songs of love 
I’m pleading
It’s not taken in with some
I’ll hit the road and run

It’s not worth repeating all the love 
I’m leaving
It’s not taken in with some
I’ll hit the road and run

So do not be afraid 
underneath the blade
some things they can’t dig into my love

But you are not alone
with everything you know
all of the stings I reeled in lines of lowly thugs

All of the things I do my love
You are not alone
underneath a drone
Fall in a field we play inside these covert games

All of the things I do my love
And now I’m all alone
Lost between the code
with all of the secrets sealed inside my lonely gun

Lonely Gun

Rock Bottom by The Liaisons

Lyrics:

Slams her hand on the bar
She’s a loaded gun
She downs her last shot
And then she downs another one
Gonna’ pull the trigger soon

She has her cards on the table
She’s looking for love
But it’s russian roulette
As she makes her way through the club
Dance floor debut

‘Cause every night she’s not alone it’s all the same
He doesn’t look into her eyes
He doesn’t even know her name

So take me down sweep me off my feet
The hotel is waiting our bodies can meet
Who knows if we have souls but I can fake it (I can fake it)
‘cause this ain’t love or a waste of time
Just another lonely spin of the assembly line
Let’s go another show don’t keep me waiting
I’m rock bottom in the making

Her eyes half open
Still stuck in a dream
Spots her clothes on the dresser
Puts together late night scenes
Maintains silence so perfectly

He’s waking up slowly
She’s already gone
As the seconds turn to minutes
She’s a ticking atom bomb on the floor
But there’s nothing here to see

Does it show
Everyday she’s feeling useless
No one knows
And just getting used to this
All alone
Use her on the late nights
And then he goes
Leaves her feeling uptight
Everyday
Haunted by the good times
Memories
and shadows of a good life
So it seems I gave up everything I need

‘Cause every night she’s not alone it’s all the same
He doesn’t look into her eyes
He doesn’t even know her name

So take me down sweep me off my feet
The hotel is waiting our bodies can meet
Who knows if we have souls but I can fake it
‘cause this ain’t love or a waste of time
Just another lonely spin of the assembly line
Let’s go another show don’t keep me waiting

Take me down sweep me off my feet
The hotel is waiting our bodies can meet
Who knows if we have souls but I can fake it (I can fake it)
‘cause this ain’t love or a waste of time
Just another lonely spin of the assembly line
Let’s go another show don’t keep me waiting
I’m rock bottom in the making

Rock Bottom

This is War by The Liaisons

Lyrics:

Word came in just yesterday
The tides have shift towards better days I hope I hope
Fire souring through the towns
Explosions every other sound woah
And I don’t know what I’ll become
Does my fate lie in the barrel of a gun who knows
When smoke clears and white flags go up
Can anybody say they truly won so it goes

‘Cause everyday’s another fight 
to try to make it out this time 
but I don’t know if you’re prepared 
to read between the lines
No I don’t care about the truth
I just do what I have to do
to survive

I’m a soldier on the lines
I will fight my way to glory
No I don’t care if this is right
‘Cause I can’t stop this story
As I lay awake at night
I pray I’ll see the morning
Is it really worth the fight
to die without a warning

I do my best to beat the clock
But it just seems that the fighting never stops
Another day a life is done
He had a mother father wife and son
I can’t put words to what I feel
It seems these inner wounds don’t ever heal oh no
‘Cause every night I go to bed
Their screams are never silenced in my head so it goes

Now as I look across the aisle
I see the fear right in his eyes
but I don’t know if you’re prepared 
to witness every crime
No I don’t care about the truth
I just do what I have to do
to survive

I’m a soldier on the lines
I will fight my way to glory
No I don’t care if this is right
‘Cause I can’t stop this story
As I lay awake at night
I pray I’ll see the morning
And together we will fight
As rain continues pouring

The rain continues pouring
down to the ground
But nobody makes a sound
As we go from ten to five
Do I have the will to survive

I’m a soldier on the lines
I will fight my way to glory
No I don’t care if this is right
‘Cause I can’t stop this story
And as I lay awake at night
I pray I’ll see the morning
Is it really worth the fight
to die without a warning

So the years go by
I still fear for my life to say goodnight
I find some sleep
But it always brings me back to then
From these things I’ve seen I will never be free
anymore anymore 
Give me the reason why they go
to live or die this is war

This is War

Sunsets by The Liaisons

Lyrics:

When summertime ran away from me
And locked me in my solitary
When my eyes turned their back on me
And the marigolds gave up peacefully

I can see all the sunsets now
I can see all the sunsets now

When summertime ran away from me
And took from me my sanctuary
When my eyes put me in a dream
And brought me to my destiny

I can see all the sunsets now

And they’re all for the living day and night
Looking for the truth in a burning light
Trying to live out all the wrong and right
So don’t look back at what’s behind
‘Cause you’ll only miss what you’re trying to find
But all I’m giving is reality defined
Take my hand and guide me please
Before I’m swept along the summer breeze

Now it’s all flooding back to me
Every dream and memory
It’s all so clear these eyes they see
My home my love my family

I can see all the sunsets now

And they’re all for the living day and night
Looking for forgiveness in an endless fight
Trying to live out all the wrong and right
So don’t look back at what’s behind
‘Cause you’ll only miss what you’re trying to find
But all I’m giving is reality defined
Take my hand and guide me please
Before I’m swept along the summer breeze

My mind knows how to hide
Takes me places I am not
Close your eyes for her next kiss
Taste every glass of water
And when I mess up every plan
Be next to me and stand
Along the bridge we used to lift
Close your eyes and this is it
I can see all the sunsets now

Let's Make a Movie by The Liaisons

Lyrics:

We’re all diving around on this big blue ball
and it happens all the same.
We live, we die, we laugh, we cry,
we look for those to blame.
We lose control, we lose our minds
and then we go insane.
We romanticize the better times,
but it always leaves us 

coming back for more.
Yet, we never know what we’re looking for
We spend our whole lives in and out the same old doors.
And now we’re bored.
So we just let the time pass us by and wait for what’s in store

Turn down the lights and let’s make a movie.
We can narrate our whole lives
and no one has to criticize
that it’s not what it should be
‘cause it’s only a movie
and no one is really dying
and the actors all are lying
and the whole thing is relying on you to believe

We were young, naive, all-knowing
and we didn’t stand a chance.
The corporate minds, they hypnotized
and put us in a trance.
When we were tucked in bed our parents said
“the future’s in your hands.”
We grew, we lost, we paid the costs.
Whatever happened to the plans

we had.
And as we’re getting older everything’s gone bad.
But don’t be sad
‘cause we’ll just carry on again until we’ve all gone mad

Turn down the lights and let’s make a movie.
We can narrate our whole lives
and no one has to criticize
that it’s not what it should be
‘cause it’s only a movie
and no one is really dying
and the actors all are lying
and the whole thing is relying on you to believe

If only it could be that easy
I would fall away with no plan to go back
It’d be like dreaming without sleeping
I’d leave it all I wouldn’t even pack

So at least for now turn down the lights and let’s make a movie.
We can narrate our whole lives
and no one has to criticize
that it’s not what it should be
‘cause it’s only a movie
and no one is really dying
and the actors all are lying

So turn down the lights and let’s make a movie.
We can narrate our whole lives
and no one has to criticize
that it’s not what it should be
‘cause it’s only a movie
and no one is really dying
and the actors all are lying
as the stage becomes the cage
of all the sickness we’re supplying
Today I’m done denying
‘Cause I know my life with never make the grade

Let's Make a Movie

Crowded Room by The Liaisons

Lyrics:

It was over
So began my time
Understanding
Some good things will die
I’m released with
A brand new sense of pride
I can’t defy

Call an old friend
meeting me halfway
My distraction
She’s the Novocaine
But I’m weaning
off it everyday
Out of supply

But I can say with honesty I tried to turn the page
Left alone the animal stuck inside its cage
But I’m not sorry that I’ve boiled this old rage
Singin’ don’t you want to fight for me today
Singin’ didn’t you need me just the other day
But when you look I’ll be screaming don’t you move
As you blend inside a crowded room

I was fading
rapturously blind
As I failed in
trying to ignite
An illusion
I made you in my mind
I can’t rewind

So I’m left here
Trying to make sense
If I’m bounded
I guess that all depends
on the meaning of
we can still be friends
but I think I’m fine

But I can say with honesty I tried to turn the page
Left alone the animal stuck inside its cage
But I’m not sorry that I’ve boiled this old rage
Singin’ don’t you want to fight for me today
Singin’ didn’t you need me just the other day
But when you look I’ll be screaming don’t you move
As you blend inside a crowded room

Now you’re going going gone
Now you’re going with the love I gave
to keep it safe inside
Silent treatment’s permanent reprise

So I can say that finally you’ve gone without a trace
Kicked you out this heart of mine to make some extra space
But I’m not sorry that we were in the first place
Singin’ I don’t want to fight for you today
Singin' none of these changes will stick anyway
So when I look don't be screaming don't you move
As I blend inside a crowded room
