San Mateo lyrics

Well sing it up on a mountain if you've had it to here 
with this place
These voices are candles these fingers are scarce we'll 
be the judges 
of who are the damned and the saved
That promise of perdition, it's not coming back

I sing all these songs for my best friends
Feel this life for all that it's worth
We've got to get a move on tonight
Cause our flesh will perish the ember will move on this 
earth
Don't ask for second chances cause you'll come up flat
Our shoulders to the well we'll take it back

Recreate them cause I don't wanna live in the shackles 
of the shepherd anymore
It's isolative to know we die alone
The truth is always there to warm my heart
What else do you need?

You toss all your guilt to the fire
with that [?] membership card
It marked your confirmation
And rendered you bonds with the church that left you 
int he dark
As we watched the ashes smolder I felt proud
As we went goodbye to the past that tore us down

Recreate them cause I don't wanna live in the shadow of 
the valley anymore
It's isolative to know we die alone
The truth is always there to warm my heart
What else do you need?

Try to steal small voices from the fathers from the lot
Cause we're dying to believe we're dying to believe
Mount on the wings like eagles 
Carve these words into a rock
Oh I will not believe

Recreate them cause I don't wanna live in the ashes of 
the altar anymore
It's isolative to know we die alone
The truth is always there to warm my heart
What else do you need?
