lyrics

Outside there's a new wave coming
Through the valley of bones and sticks
A dark cloud covers the horizon
And it's slowly creeping in
On my back porch i hear arguing
On my front porch I stand at the door
I look back and see people
Ready to leave
Dropping their instruments down to the floor

But I'm a thrasher, thrasher, fighting back
Thrasher, thrasher, and I'm fighting back
Thrasher, thrasher, fighting back
Hoping the kids will come join the ranks

Oh the lost kids could still come back
The lost kids could still come back

My feet don't move when I tell 'em
Cause there ain't no better place to go
Every which-way something's coming
Something I don't ever wanna face no more
And the pressure, it's getting stronger
I stand hard against the wall
They say leave now with us
It's like a gold rush
It's easier than this crusade you're on

Chorus

Oh they see a shot at some fame
A formula you follow, it's the easy way
But I am a man with a fiery love
And I'll still be standing after your course runs

And then a flash of lightning
Lets me know that it's time to breath
As a wave swallows me whole now
Won't get another chance no sir-e
And now I'm right in it
Everyone else is taking the ride
But I won't, oh no
This has happened before
The backlash will come and the wave will die

Chorus

Oh they see a shot at some fame
A formula you follow it's the easy way
But I am a man with a fiery love
Rainstorms start coming but I won't pack it up and run
