Rough Dreams - Challenger.86-Scavengers
Is it the drugs that drag us downOr keep us high as we burn out
Like ghost town runaways just dying to be found
The power chords and flashing lights
Play the soundtrack to our lives
As liars look for love in pits of bloodshot eyes
You can feel it when the band starts playing
Crying out for a life worth living
Those cursed with broken hearts
Are who can save you now
You pick me up when I come down
And I've spent wasted days just chasing you around
These nights drive on as I spin out
And I'm swerving off the lonely backroads of this town
You read the fliers hanging on the wall
And smell the smoke, sweat, and alcohol
That tell the stories of the ghosts that grace these halls
Can you hear the sound of floorboards breaking
Under the feet of the hopeless dancing?
Tomorrow comes too soon when living for tonight
You pick me up when I come down
And I've spent wasted days just chasing you around
These nights drive on as I spin out
And I'm swerving off the lonely backroads of this town
You pick me up when I come down
And I've spent wasted days just chasing you around
These nights drive on as I spin out
And I'm swerving off the lonely backroads of this town
You pick me up when I come down
And I've spent wasted days just chasing you around
These nights drive on as I spin out
And I'm swerving off the lonely backroads of this town
If it all ended today
And we just drift off into space
Like Scavengers into the void
Amidst the cosmic static noise
Could you find peace in knowing that
There was no reason for the crash
A random act, coincidence
No grand design or master plan
Oxygen levels are down
We stare and watch the sun burn out
The homeless surf polluted waves
Sit back and stream the end of days
We place the blind on protest signs
Children watch as bullets fly
The powerful have crossed the line
This whole damn place has lost its mind
It's just another day
Here in the panic state
We're all just searching through this mess
Lunatics in the madness
It's just another day
Nothing will ever change
We're all just searching through this mess
Lunatics in the madness
Fires and floods and acid rain
No act of God. No judgement day
Criminals and scientists
Create the cures but keep us sick
With chemical dependencies
Side effects, anxiety
If Jesus Christ came back again
He'd sell his soul to pay the rent
It's just another day
Here in the panic state
We're all just searching through this mess
Lunatics in the madness
It's just another day. Nothing will ever change
We're all just searching through this mess
Lunatics in the madness
If one great song could change the world
I'd write it down and burn the words
Because none of us deserve it
We had our chance and blew it
If there's more to life than all of this
Then why's it hard to coexist
When we're all just sons and daughters
Of mothers and our fathers
It's just another day
Here in the panic state
We're all just searching through this mess
Lunatics in the madness
It's just another day. Nothing will ever change
We're all just searching through this mess
Lunatics in the madness
