The Fallen

Verse 1

Empty chairs

Dirt on the denim from the graveyard shift

Rain

Falls on the hood of the rusted truck

My knuckles bleed

I am tired of the weight

Tired of the wait

Tired of the hate

Cold wind

Blowing through the screen door frame

Chorus

Pour another round for the ones who ain't here

Pour another round for the ones who ain't here

Light one up

Let the smoke hit the rafters

Light one up

Let the smoke hit the rafters

We're still standing

Barely breathing but we're here

Pour another round

Post-Chorus

Yeah we pour it out

Yeah we pour it out

For the brothers in the ground

Yeah we pour it out

Verse 2

Ten years

Since we sat on the tailgate singing

Gone

Just like the spark of a cheap lighter

Flicker

Fade

Flinch

Better days got buried in the back lot

Stolen time

The clock on the wall is a liar

Hard luck

Heavy hearts and hollowed eyes

Chorus

Pour another round for the ones who ain't here

Pour another round for the ones who ain't here

Light one up

Let the smoke hit the rafters

Light one up

Let the smoke hit the rafters

We're still standing

Barely breathing but we're here

Pour another round

Post-Chorus

Yeah we pour it out

Yeah we pour it out

For the brothers in the ground

Yeah we pour it out

Bridge

Look at the stars

Look at the scars

Look at the bars

They didn't make it to thirty

I'm just a ghost with a glass

Holding onto the glass

Emptying the glass

Chorus

Pour another round for the ones who ain't here

Pour another round for the ones who ain't here

Light one up

Let the smoke hit the rafters

Light one up

Let the smoke hit the rafters

We're still standing

Barely breathing but we're here

Pour another round

Outro

One for Jimmy

One for Paul

Save a little for me

When I fall

Pour another round

Just pour it out
