Trumpets and Violins - Suburban Kids With Biblical Names

I want the trumpets and violins to play

I want revolvers and adrenaline today

I want solutions and kingdoms of love

Don’t want confusion in these black walls

But still, we stare into the fall leaves

Still falling from the trees

I was the first to call it off

To put them back and light the sun again

I want the dances and the shoes to match

I want the radio and you to be my catch

I want the world to move an inch from where I stand

To put defenses down and invite the band

No need to sob for the scars

I took it back and so can you

I’ve seen your eyes more sad than this

So fuck the shit and sign the list

I was born and then I died

It’s just the story of a million lives

They live for glory and then they die

Oh, why?

I was born and then I’ll die

It’ll be the story of my boring life

But still I know I’ve done something right
