SG/AL4W Split Lyrics

As requested, here are the lyrics to our songs off the AL4W split, “Scoreboard” and “Backyard”.

Scoreboard:
You’re up on the scoreboard but the audience is sick of this collateral damage.
And this game has been going on for far too long 
And the audience is sick of the same old song.

We don’t need a coach to recognize what matters most.
We don’t need a book of plays to construct security.

And everyone is a thief these days, just trying to find the next move that pays.

But not you and me, we refuse to play.
We both have beating hearts underneath our skin.
So let the games begin and hopefully we can build shelter from the storm before they go for the win.

We don’t need a coach to recognize what matters most to us.
We don’t need a book of plays to construct security.

We’ve got a voice and a brain and we’ve got two feet planted firm inside of this city.
And everyone is a thief these days, just trying to find the next move that pays.

But not you and me, we refuse to play.
We both have beating hearts underneath our skin.
So let the games begin 
And hopefully we can build shelter from the storm before they go for the win.

We don’t need a coach to recognize what matters most to us.
We don’t need a book of plays to construct security.

Backyard:
Oh what a sight to be seen, I left my wits back up in a tree,
Where I used to climb before I was a teen.
Next to an old woman’s cat and a young man’s dreams 
And we’re all waiting for them to fall into our hands.
Will we learn to climb or keep standing at the base, shouting our demands?

And no one is listening yet we scream, “let us have our own lives back.”
There’s something I’ve been missing and I would love to ask:

Do you ever feel ashamed enough to say,
That this life we live is flying us first class to an early grave?
And do you ever find your own reality above your head swaying in the breeze?

Our voices shake the trunk we stand in front of but it never breaks.
Gravity is holding us down and it’s raising the stakes for me.
And we’re all waiting for our lives to fall back into our hands.
Will we learn to climb or keep standing at the base, singing?

Do you ever feel ashamed enough to say,
That this life we life live is flying us first class to an early grave?
And will I find my own reality right where I want it to be?

We climbed so far,
We got what we came for.
And in the end,
This backyard isn’t mine anymore.
