Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It seems that times have changed
They've broken all the pretty things
The records and the photographs
[Verse 2]
If I could make a wish
We'd never gotten into this
We knew what we were gettin' into, didn't we?
[Verse 3]
If I could turn back the clock
Return all the dreams we lost
In order to make the crossing
[Verse 4]
Was the price of Salvo's life
Worth the blood and sacrifice?
I don't think so
[Verse 5]
I lost my friend along the way
I lost my innocence to the icy heat
We found America in a punk rock way
This story has no ending
[Verse 6]
It seems that times have changed
They've taken all the pretty things
The memories and the photographs
[Verse 7]
Thoughts and prayers they never lost
Don't waste them on the past
We all become history when we make the crossing
[Verse 8]
As I lay here beneath the West Texas stars
I think about the breadcrumbs I left behind
Hope that you can find me
With every step, I go further
With every breath, I go deeper
As I lay here beneath the stars
