Pete Kilpatrick Band – Hope In Our Hearts Lyrics 6 years ago
If you've still got some light in you then go before it's gone [no one can make you happy except yourself, don't hurt other people]

Burn your fire for no witness it's the only way it's done
["Use the ‘fire’ of your creativity and strengths to benefit yourself alone. Write a song, paint a picture. Do anything you want, but don’t sacrifice yourself for somebody else."]

Pete Kilpatrick Band – Hope In Our Hearts Lyrics 6 years ago
Everything is tragic
It all just falls apart
But when I look into your eyes
It pieces up my heart
If I only had an answer
To put it all to bed
I wish sometimes I could take back
Every word I've said
I walk back in the night alone
Got caught up in my song
Forgot where I was sleeping
None of the lights were on
I heard my mother thinking me right back into my birth
I laughed so loud inside myself it all began to hurt
So I turned on a picture show
I disappeared the lines
As memories came flooding in
The tears blew out my eyes
I see an elevator
A moment I am above
I look for you or someone
Who can still remind me of
The tight grip and the sun lick
And the calm way of all things summer
When it's all here
And it's all new
And you're not hungover
Fierce and light and young
Fierce and light and young
When you don't know that you're wrong
Or just how wrong you are
My feet are always heavy
As I inch toward the door
I thought we'd leave this for ourselves a hundred times before
But I guess we're always leaving even when we look the same
And it eases me somehow to know that even this will change
If you've still got some light in you then go before it's gone
Burn your fire for no witness, it's the only way it's done
Fierce and light and young
Fierce and light and young
Hit the ground and run
Hit the ground and run

Pete Kilpatrick Band – Midnight Flood Lyrics 6 years ago
As we cruised across
The Canadian border
You reached into your handbag
Pulled out a micro-cassette recorder
Started quoting Tolstoy into the machine
I had no idea what you meant
I guess I'm supposed to figure things out
Or maybe it's supposed to be self-evident
But I've gone feral
And I don't speak the language anymore
We're headed deep into the forest
I've got the pedal to the floor
The engine shudders like a dying man
When you reach out to grab my hand
You can bring out all your weapons
You can't make me go to war
Long, winding Canadian highways
Innumerable evergreens
Weather forecast on the AM radio
Says we'll be expecting highs in the low teens
When I mouth my silent curses at you
I can see my breath
I hope the stars don't even come out tonight
I hope we both freeze to death
Look at the person I've turned into
Tell me, how do you like him now?
No standards of any kind to break
No creeds to disavow
I am right here where you want me
Do what you brought me out here for
You can arm me to the teeth
You can't make me go to war

Pete Kilpatrick Band – By My Side Lyrics 6 years ago
Thought you'd be looking for the next in line to love
Then ignore, put out, and put away
And so you'd soon be leaving me
Alone, like I'm supposed to be
Tonight, tomorrow, and everyday

There's nothing here that you'll miss
I can guarantee you this:
Is a cloud of smoke
Trying to occupy space
What a fucking joke
What a fucking joke

I waited for a bus to separate the both of us
And take me off, far away from you
Cause my feelings never change a bit
I always feel like shit
I don't know why, I guess that I just do

You once talked to me about love
And you painted pictures of
A Never Never Land
And I could've gone to that place
But I didn't understand

I didn't understand
I didn't understand
