lyrics

When I held your hand on the floor of the Windstar
And watched you hold in your last breath
I smiled at the unbroken promise
That could only be kept by our deaths

Whoa x4

The bullets they hit and cut and twisted
Just inches from our hearts and heads
I gripped and dug into the carpet
Like blankets on my childhood bed

The bloodstains they spread like a skyline
A city I dreamt of instead
We're never getting out of this Windstar mama
So I'll close my eyes just to rest

Singing
Whoa x4

The sirens and war cries from the market
Drowned out by violins in my head
When one of those shots finally found me
It filled me with light instead of lead

Then crying became fits of laughter
Excitement for some coming thing
When that RPG finally found us
Then both of our voices did sing

Singing
Mama your boys are coming home
Mama your boys are coming home
Mama your boys are coming home
Mama your boys are coming home

Lean Into Life

Petey is not only a hilarious meme artiste, but also an indie-rock breath of fresh air, vulnerable, beautiful lyrics, LCD-Soundsystem screamo, here for all of it. Fantasy Football

The Mixtapes Movie Soundtrack
by The Mixtapes

The Mixtapes (2005-2011) played electro-emo rock with an impressively sophomoric vigour. Right on the nose with a tear-jerking power ballad or a stomping power chord party anthem. Tom's first band. Fantasy Football
