Dressed to F by The Killing Tree Lyrics
[Verse 1] (Tim McIlrath)
On the eve of our exile, we carve names in the oaks
To remember our last days of life on the ropes!
In broad daylight, we crawl through the trenches
To meet our fate over razor wire fences
[Chorus] (Tim McIlrath)
As we crash, through the floor
Taking but always wanting more
My lips are wet and dry
And dead as night, cold as ice
As the ground beneath me fails
We all take flight
Hold us captive, but we nevеr die, never diе
Fix these broken dreams and leave this place alive
[Verse 2] (Tim McIlrath, Geoff Reu)
I will, come to you in madness and impossibility!
I will, come to you forever, knowing you will come to me!
I will, come to you when life's fears kick the ground beneath my feet!
I will, come to you forever, knowing you will come to me!
So much I don't know, I don't know
I don't know!
[Chorus] (Tim McIlrath)
As we crash, through the floor
Taking but always wanting more
My lips are wet and dry
And dead as night, cold as ice
As the ground beneath me fails
We all take flight
Hold us captive, but we never die, never die
Fix these broken dreams and leave this place alive
As we crash!
[Bridge] (Tim McIlrath, Emily Schambra)
I'll really leave, I won't stick by, I'll really leave here.
I'll really leave, I won't stick by, I'll really leave here.
It's all whispering, words that I can't hear
Steal my breath again, then she disappears
This is who I am, of bark sealed in a tree
Begging to be put out of misery!
I wait for the sky, filled with broken dreams
To open up and swallow me!
[Pre-Chorus] (Tim McIlrath, Geoff Reu)
I will leave this place alive.
I will leave this place alive.
I will leave this place alive.
I will leave this place alive!
[Chorus] (Tim McIlrath)
As we crash, through the floor
Taking but always wanting more
My lips are wet and dry
And dead as night, cold as ice
As the ground beneath me fails
We all take flight
Hold us captive, but we never die, never die
Fix these broken dreams and leave this place
I will leave this place
I will leave this place alive!
On the eve of our exile, we carve names in the oaks
To remember our last days of life on the ropes!
In broad daylight, we crawl through the trenches
To meet our fate over razor wire fences
[Chorus] (Tim McIlrath)
As we crash, through the floor
Taking but always wanting more
My lips are wet and dry
And dead as night, cold as ice
As the ground beneath me fails
We all take flight
Hold us captive, but we nevеr die, never diе
Fix these broken dreams and leave this place alive
[Verse 2] (Tim McIlrath, Geoff Reu)

I will, come to you forever, knowing you will come to me!
I will, come to you when life's fears kick the ground beneath my feet!
I will, come to you forever, knowing you will come to me!
So much I don't know, I don't know
I don't know!
[Chorus] (Tim McIlrath)

As the ground beneath me fails
We all take flight
