Wild Ones - The New Album by Across The Board

LYRICS

Prologue Wild Ones

I take the Wild Ones down to the edge of my town

And we howl to the moonlight as he offers the crown

Take it up to the sky like a flame in his eye

And he begs them to see things his own way on the fly

Like a wolf needs his pack and the pack needs a leader

All we're trying to do is find our way through these cedars

On to prairies and planes and the hills and the valleys

That frame the tribe that's our pack in these streets and alleys

And he cries to his past and the generations gone

For the strength to find beauty in the brains and the braun

And they hold him up high like the heart of a lion

Finding meaning meaning and messages in the stars of Orion

Wild Ones

  

Take me by the hand tonight

I need to leave

Out of sound and out of sight

Take me woah

Do you feel the light of night

I feel it too

I need to run beneath it

And howl at the moon 

Don’t you know

 
 

Where the wild ones play

Where the wild ones play

Where the wild ones play

 
 

I see myself inside of you

No need to run

Will it save you from the truth

Take me now

And will this water wash away

The sins of my life

I need to run beneath it 

And howl at the moon Don’t you know

 
 

Where the wild ones play

Where the wild ones play

Where the wild ones play

 
 

Wa--OOOOOO 

Howl at the moon

Wa– OOOOOOO 

 
 

Where the wild ones play

Where the wild ones play

Where the wild ones play

Monster

I don’t need your sympathy

Don’t want your pity

Turn away

I’m here to stay

And I don’t mind rejection

All it ever does is fuel my fire

And push me higher


I'm a monster- I’d rather have your back than lose control

I’m a monster- No way to fight it better bleed my soul 

I’ll hide under- Your bed and save you from your darkest dreams

Have no fear no care, just believe


I don’t feel your fever

I just see your nightmares

In my mind

Every night

And I don’t dread the battle

I fear nothing but the light of day

Keep your ghosts at bay


I'm a monster- I’d rather have your back than lose control

I’m a monster- No way to fight it better bleed my soul 

I’ll hide under- Your bed and save you from your darkest dreams

Have no fear no care, just believe


You'd better feed my soul

Or I might just lost control

I'm a monster - Were you scared?


I don’t need your sympathy

Don’t want your pity

Turn away

I’m here to stay


I'm a monster- I’d rather have your back than lose control

I’m a monster- No way to fight it better bleed my soul 

I’ll hide under- Your bed and save you from your darkest dreams

Have no fear no care, just believe

Eye Of The Storm

I’ve lost the moon and the stars

In these city lights

I don’t know why

Can’t sleep at night

The stars can’t guide me

The signs are all wrong

My compass is broken

And my maps are all torn


See me calling to the eye of the storm

See me crawling to the eye of the storm


Always wanted to wander

Staring up at the stars

Dreaming of days when 

I’ll  find a way to travel far

But if the stars won’t guide me

And if maps are not true

Then a compass would be useless

To bring me to you 


See me calling to the eye of the storm

See me crawling to the eye of the storm

See me falling through the eye of the storm

See me dancing with the eye of the storm


Stuck in a dream

Looking for someone

Stuck in a dream

Looking for someone

Who knows what I mean


See me calling to the eye of the storm

See me crawling to the eye of the storm

See me calling to the eye of the storm

See me crawling to the eye of the storm

See me falling through the eye of the storm

See me dancing with the eye of the storm

Calling

Ah-wooo

Sleepless dreaming of the dust and the ashes

Fear pushes through and lightening crashes

She holds him like the heart of a lion

But his wolf won’t let her she keeps trying


Calling Calling Call to moon  

Calling Calling There’s nothing here to hold us down


The world explodes before us who do we see?

Alive and kicking at the ghost in the machine

Laughing crying all the love has but faded

Never trust a soul to be so jaded


Calling Calling Call to moon  

Calling Calling There’s nothing here to hold us down


Make a family from odds and from ends and

Find a brotherhood from wars and amends and

Choose your memories don’t lock them away no

They were never ours to give and to take oh


Calling Calling Call to moon  

Calling Calling There’s nothing here to hold us down

Calling Calling Call to moon  

Calling Calling There’s nothing here to hold us down


Sleepless dreaming of the dust and the ashes

Fear pushes through and lightening crashes

She holds him like the heart of a lion

But his wolf won’t let her she keeps trying


Calling Calling Call to moon  

Calling Calling There’s nothing here to hold us down

Calling Calling Call to moon  

Calling Calling There’s nothing here to hold us down

All Gone

Woah Woah

As I walk along the empty street

In a twilight shading barren trees

There’s a pile of bricks that I can see

That used to be my home


As the broken glass reflects the day
Feel the weathered sidewalks crumble away

Stones and bones of memory

Lie still upon the ground


If these old walls could whisper tales

Of generations passing through

The ghosts of faces and layered ages

All gone, scattered by the storm

All gone, shattered by storm

All Gone


In a moment all the signs can fall

There’s no rhyme or reason for it all

Just a fragile shell of places

Lying broken on the ground


If these old walls could whisper tales

Of generations passing through

The ghosts of faces and layered ages

All gone, scattered by the storm

All gone, shattered by storm


Board up the windows and chain the door

No place to hide out 

Carry it all

And you can make it through the storm


If these old walls could whisper tales

Of generations passing through

The ghosts of faces and layered ages

All gone, scattered by the storm


If these old walls could whisper tales

Of generations passing through

The ghosts of faces and layered ages

All gone, scattered by the storm

All gone, shattered by storm

All gone, scattered by the storm

All gone, shattered by storm

Graffiti

Make a mark in a secret place

Spread your tag but none to trace

Mark your space not to erase

Pride is tribe don’ fall from grace

Sometimes you gotta deface a system

Just to build up a new resistance

Tales be told spray them all in bold

Time to see my colors and my brothers

Painted all in gold


Graffiti buries all the secret stories

Rewrite humanity on walls and hallways

The sides of trains that travel distances 

That I can’t reach

Don’t use my words unless you

Plan to make them yours


Time spins from wall to wall

Find a tag but I can’t recall

Love lost or a fighter’s fight

Toss one up to a city’s plight

Stars shooting bullets fly

Brother’s lost and a mother’s cry

Chain links throw away the drugs

Time to see my colors and my brother’s 

Painted all in blood


Graffiti buries all the secret stories

Rewrite humanity on walls and hallways

The sides of trains that travel distances 

That I can’t reach

Don’t use my words unless you

Plan to make them yours


I can’t make you understand

I can’t make you see my plan

I can’t force you to be still

And I can’t make you pick me up when I fall ill


Graffiti buries  all the secret stories

Rewrite humanity on walls and hallways

The sides of trains that travel distances 

That I can’t reach

Don’t use my words unless you

Plan to make them yours

Alpha Wolf

All the lights over the cityscape shine bright

And all the night he has but one last chance to fight

To bring his pack back from the woods onto the plane

And own the night calling the stars all to obey


Pull the stars down from the sky

And call to Mars and tell it goodbye

The night is done and it’s the last thing to do

Howl at the moon 


He rounds them up with a last breath he gives a call

And all the stars swing from the sky beginning to fall

A distant light from the horizon touches the sky

And begs the moon to push back the day up from the night


Pull the stars down from the sky

And call to Mars and tell it goodbye

The night is done and it’s the last thing to do

Howl at the moon  

Howl at the moon  

Howl at the moon 

Howl at the moon 

Howl at the moon 


Pull the stars down from the sky

And call to Mars and tell it goodbye

The night is done and it’s the last thing to do

Howl at the moon  

Howl at the moon  

Howl at the moon 

Howl at the moon 

Howl at the moon
