Rise

Asleep in the darkness, feel what no others can say
Awaken the shadows, face them another day
Now take in the brimstone and taste of the blackening air
A blade in my hand, stand and I'll lead you there
These are our lives, so why don't you
Rise
Rise
Fight like a demon so angels don't take you away
Rise
Rise
Die like you mean it and truly you'll never fade
These are our lives, so why don't you
Rise
Rise
Rise

Orange and Black

So here I find myself arriving on the edge and this is what you've brought me to
Oh, would that I could create another just like me, instead of finding you
Now scream these words back
Right now
I'll never turn back, this I vow
You've pushed my patience to the breaking point again today, and now it's getting old
How many times I gotta burn you like I did before, 'til you do what you're told
Now scream these words back
Right now
I'll never turn back, this I vow
You'll never get it right
You'll never get it right
You'll never get it right
You'll never get it right
You'll never get it right
You'll never get it right
You'll never get it right
You'll never get it right
Right
Right
Right
Right
Right
Right
And even though I didn't plan for things to be this way, but it's just how they are
You'll learn the way, or you'll fall just like the ones before
Out like a dying star
Now scream these words back
Right now
I'll never turn back, this I vow

Way Out
03:46

How did you know that this is all we get
And even though it doesn't matter yet
This ends today
Find a way out
Find a way out
Of this catastrophe
Find a way out
Find a way out
Of these confining chains
I've had enough! This isn't me
And when you look, what is it that you see
Can we be freed
Find a way out
Find a way out
Of this catastrophe
Find a way out
Find a way out
Of these confining chains
Find a way out
Find a way out
How did you know what I would see
Find a way out
Find a way out
But will we then be free
Oh tell me you're still here
Alone for all these years
I'll take you in my hand
And watch you turn to sand
Find a way out
Find a way out
Of this catastrophe
Find a way out
Find a way out
Of these confining chains
Find a way out
Find a way out
How did you know what I would see
Find a way out
Find a way out
But will we then be free
Oh tell me you're still here
Alone for all these years
I'll take you in my hand
And watch you turn to sand

Soul Destroyer

I'm on the edge of destruction dear
And though it's not what you want to hear
I'm falling for sure this time
The air is cold, I can smell the rain
And on your lips, I can see again
You don't have the answers
The stars aren't there for me to count
I'll fall asleep without you now
Tonight is the last night
So tell me what you want to hear
Now watch as the last light fades
Along with my suffering
Just say you'll remember
I hear your voice and it's trembling
But listen close, you can hear me sing
I'm ready for what's to come
And if you tell me you won't let go
Well just think back, cause I know you know that I
Deserve every ounce of this
The stars within my eyes burn out
You're better off without me now
Tonight is the last night
So tell me what you never have
Now watch as the last light fades
Along with my suffering
Just say you'll remember
Now watch as the last light fades
Along with my suffering
Just say you'll remember
Tonight is the last night
So tell me what you want to hear
Now watch as the last light fades
Along with my suffering
Just say you'll remember

Death of Promise
02:51
|

Can we escape from suffering
I see the pain that's in your eyes
Don't want to seem ungrateful. You'll never be
I'm punching holes through your disguise
I am the ever watchful. The reckoning
I am the truth through all the lies
And how could I be willful? This rain I bring
Falls on the place that promise dies
For every fear that's tucked away
We conjure 50 hateful words
So inflamed with passion we were that day
That we committed blood to verse
I am the ever watchful. The reckoning
I am the truth through all the lies
And how could I be willful? This rain I bring
Falls on the place that promise dies
The difference in us
Is the same that's in our stars
Forget my name
We're all the same
Now breath it in. This life is ours
I am the ever watchful. The reckoning
I am the truth through all the lies
And how could I be willful? This rain I bring
Falls on the place that promise dies
I am the ever watchful. The reckoning
I am the truth through all the lies
And how could I be willful? This rain I bring
Falls on the place that promise dies

Guilty
04:48
|

I've known you for too long not to recognize
The look of lasting regret that's behind your eyes
And it's been so many years, that by now my dear
I should have known, but where did the time go
Just want to
To be true
Do all the things that you need me to
And it isn't my fault that I'm not enough
Now it's finally time to get tough
Help me to see what's real in your eyes
I love you 'til the day I die
But I won't stop you
We all die alone
How can I breathe, when even the air's burning
I choke on these last words I sing
For breath I'm yearning, but death deserving
We all die alone
And when the sun has gone away, right here I lay with you
And I will give you everything for all the good I'll do
But you have got to understand that when the darkness comes
I cannot promise anything
I pray to anyone who hears me this is not the end
And if you have to leave tonight, know you're my only friend
But if you really cannot stay, believe I wouldn't last
Not that you needed one more thing
Help me to see what's real in your eyes
I love you 'til the day I die
But I won't stop you
We all die alone
How can I breathe, when even the air's burning
I choke on these last words I sing
For breath I'm yearning, but death deserving
We all die alone
And do you know
What it feels like
Life in the shadows
Hidden from all light
And do you know
What it feels like
Life in the shadows
Hidden from all light
And do you know
What it feels like
Life in the shadows
Hidden from all light
And do you know
What it feels like
Life in the shadows
Hidden from all light
And do you know
What it feels like
Life in the shadows
Hidden from all light

Tough Guy Portland, Oregon
Tough Guy is a punk band from Portland, OR. Their sound is a transcription of the human condition. The pounding and intricate drums convey energy and drive. The guitar, aggression and passion. The roaming bass at times binds the other two in harmony, but can stand apart in gut wrenching power as well. The words are sad, but hopeful, and voiced with passion. Tough Guys is, simply, every one of us. ... more
