We Own the Skies Lyrics

The band moved on after quitting in 2003. They pretty much all got regular jobs, giving their shoulders to the plow, traveling the well worn path of normal work. Game up the crazy road life kingdom for a steady paycheck.

I don't think the band members hate that life or anything; in fact I think most of the band was sick of road life and that's a big reason they quit. But this song seems to be about the adrenaline filled fun of coming back together and traveling to shows and performing again, maybe not forever, but at least for "tonight."
