This is it! The end of the line There's a vortex raining chaos from the sky All the pretty people died and I'm still standing The apocalypse, and the world we know and love has gone to shit How did things end up like this? [Chorus] And they tried to tell us that we were in danger Tried to tell us all but we still dropped the bomb Look at what we've done! And I try not to think about it night and day The memories of things that cannot be undone What have we become? This is it, the end of days I always thought that I'd be older when it came Twenty four and I've achieved a lot of nothing Step outside and the city crumbles right before my eyes Disappearing in the fire

Spineless 04:17
I mess myself up to forget the things I can't ignore I must admit I've never felt so much hate before I never thought that I was brave until I met you You let all your friends take the bullet for you [Chorus] You're so disgusting to me You'd do anything to save your worthless hide I don't know how you can be so spineless I never took the time to thank you for the things you did Despite this misery that made me who I am I hoped you'd fall from your high perch and break your spine But you don't have one so I guess you'll be fine I know you're empty and you're weighed down by your sins A hollow frame of someone that was once a man We were both tested, I stood my ground, you ran away Do you feel anything? Have you no shame? You'll never tell, they took the bullet for you
3.
I know you feel the same but I'm too shy to tell you I've got myself to blame, I wish that I could tell you I'm waiting for the day that I can make it clear I'm waiting for the words, the words that you will hear [Chorus] (Show me how) we could be like a nightmare and a dream (Show me how) we could be like peaches and cream (Show me how) you complete me like a river to the sea Our story's coming to a close, just like Act II's final scene I'm really bad with words, I guess I shouldn't tell you I can't articulate whenever I'm around you I'm waiting for the day that I can make it clear I'm choking on my words, please get me out of here!
4.
Standing on the outside I can see it won't be long Before you rise up from the ashes and proclaim yourself a god And when you did those things did you feel any guilt at all? I can see you're happy with yourself but who will miss you when you're gone? I hate you, but I hate myself more and if the surface world gets interesting I'll dig up from the core The pressure is building up today but if you want to we can close our eyes, let darkness light our way Now I'm standing in a hotel room in Washington D.C. Looking in the mirror trying to face the person staring back at me And I know I'm just a sinner making fires to be seen But in due time I'll become the monster I was always meant to be And I'll fight you til the end just like we did before Stop trying to pretend this isn't what you live for Your hatred poisons me but I will drink it all And I will be the one that brings you down Call my name, remind me I'm alive Save me from this hell Lead me to a place where I can hide Pretending that everything's alright is such a good way to destroy yourself, break down from the inside You went down when you told yourself that lie now tell me Does it make you feel good to be killed by your own pride?
5.
Reasons 02:17
I won't shove down your throat my own beliefs or why I think I'm right I'll let you finish this time so tell me what's on your mind, darling [Chorus] (You) You're doing the right thing for all the wrong reasons You're pushing everyone away You were made to love but forced to not feel it You want tomorrow to come today How long? How come I'm wrong again? It seems I'll never know your mind What were you expecting to find? I just did what I thought was right at the time I don't expect that you're sorry for the things that you did But knowing then what you know now would you do it different? You don't have to explain yourself I already know Life goes on but...
6.
Turn It Off 03:02
So you're feeling just as happy as can be And you wrote a song so we could all feel the same And it got some airplay on the radio And I don't know how much more I can take [Chorus] Whoa oh oh Yeah yeah yeah No no no Hey hey hey! A remedy for all those who are sad And you made it rhyme and upbeat so god bless you But I must admit it makes me kind of mad When you tell me all the songs I like depress you
7.
Rust 03:13
Listen up, there's no need to fear It's perfectly OK to be weird as long as you're beautiful You can be whatever you like You can reach the highest heights as long as you're beautiful [Chorus] Show me where to go from here Show me how to disappear so I don't have to feel this hate Show me how to love myself Or put my faith in someone else so I don't have to feel this way Writhing in the depths of despair No one's even gonna care unless you're beautiful But If you've got the money to pay They've got a million ways to make you beautiful I don't even know what I'm feeling anymore Is it apathy or sadness? Misery or pride? So let me go Show me how to love myself Or put my faith in someone else so I don't have to feel this way
8.
Like a Bomb 03:47
Why won't you say something? I wish I knew what to do But in my condition I'm the last person you'd turn to I'm ashamed to admit this but I don't know the difference between Taking what I need to survive and blowing up everything [Chorus] Like a bomb, I screamed on my way down I exploded before I hit the ground In a flash everything around turned to ash There's nothing left here now And it's because of me Burn every bridge until there's no way back to the shore No lifeboats can save you now You're broken and insecure I cannot help you if I don't know what's going on You say you're running away, but what are you running from? [Bridge] You knew I was a liability, a timebomb set to explode And I know I'm not the one you need, I'm just an unstable isotope So before the fire destroys your life and everything you know Save yourself x2 I have won but I don't feel the same What have I done? I've ruined everything!

Tonight 03:29
You made me realise that you don't want me here I tried to be what you want, you wanted someone else I can't kid myself no more Thinking that you would change and it took so long to walk away I said you don't love me You said it's in my head But it's not that hard to say I know that words are wind And you never cared about anyone but yourself and him So here's me wishing you the best Don't worry about me I will be just fine This will pass me by And the pain will fade with time I will get through this if I get through tonight And somehow I will find a way to move on with my life I promised myself that I wouldn't write a song for you We never got that far Those things you said were never true And I just feel so used But that's just who I am, I guess Forever stuck in second best
10.
Standing in Bedlam, people waving flags of hatred in the streets Say it's religion, they're just twisting every word to suit their needs Everyone thinks that their intentions are the best but they don't see When they look at their own reflections it's distorted by their greed [Chorus] If we pull the trigger at the same time, there will be no one left to blame I've got one question then, If cheaters never lose, then what will you do when there's no one to play your game? We're getting fat, the water's rising but nobody seems to care Cause we're all experts now, if we can't see it then it must not be there Listen to me, you fuckwits... ignorance will kill you in the end You'll bring your own destruction, who will you blame when there's nothing left? Me and my friends, we stuck together being stuck here in this town I feel you fading out but please old friend, don't give up on me now! I know I put you through hell, I refuse to let your ship go down I know you hate me but it's my name that you're screaming as you drown If we pull the trigger at the same time, there will be no one left to blame I've got one question then, If cheaters never lose, then what will you do when there's no one left but you?
11.
Let the sound lift you higher Let your pain melt away Just be still for one minute, dear You've already come a long way And sometimes you're gonna feel to broken and used up It's just the life we've chosen Would you give up if I could change it all for you? What would you have me do? Well one day we'll cross the line together Cause somehow we're gonna find the answer Cause this town, it can't be all there is to see So just stick with me and then We'll set sail into the great undying On this ship, we'll ride the waves of time I'll hold you, we'll see what's on the other side I hope that I'm wrong this time And we'll go somewhere we won't be stepped on Cause God knows, God knows we've all got problems But right now we'll try to help those who need us Instead of pushing down we'll pull them up
12.
There's a person inside me raising a glass to the ones that I hold dear So here's to the future hoping that I can catch my break this year Cause I'm through with the pain and I'm through with the lies and I'm through with wanting to die I'll just write how I'm feeling down in a song cause I don't want you to see me cry Get out of bed and face the empty streets Throw back your meds, embrace the apathy Lift up your head, only difference is your thinking *You're thinking But I won't just give up on myself tonight I've spent way too long just avoiding the fight I won't burn my bridges just to prove that I was right I won't just give up on myself tonight At first it seemed like a bad dream but I'm sure now I'm awake Cause this whole situation is becoming more believable each day And I'll never be a doctor so I know I can't fix you Just a dumb kid pretending I'm stronger than I seem just to make it through When all I want is a place that I can go To be someone, let the record show Though I was wrong I never said that I was perfect I'm not perfect

about

Welcome to our second album. Your Heroes Are All Dead is a loose concept album about the downfall of civilisation. It's about victory and loss, hopelessness and hope, aesthetic obsession and songs on the radio being too sanitised and commercial. So set sail with us into The Great Undying as we embark on this voyage of sound.

Big thanks to John for being such a legend. Without him, this album would not sound anywhere near as good. And big thanks to you, our fans who listen and share our stuff. We do this for you.

Much love

SLSG x
