Rebels 05:29
lyrics

Rebels- OURMADA (Lyrics-Drew Ingle) I think I’ve figured it out, two ways to go both drag you down Down and dumbed down You finally get what you seek, it ends up all but bittersweet So bittersweet And the taste won't fade, it never fades Does anybody know when the lovers and the poets grew so old? The game is fixed and we know how it's gonna end But we play on anyway Living life and death with a boot heel across your neck Ain't the only way to roll Oh no, it happened again, I got my hopes up on a dream A beautiful scene I thought we'd have once again what we had back when grey seemed green A beautiful scene But the sight, it fades it always fades Is everybody here? We haven't seen the rebels 'round for years The game is fixed and we know how it's gonna end But we play on anyway Living life and death with a boot heel across your neck Ain't the only way to roll We know how it starts again Seen this final scene played out many times before And even though you try to, try to steal the show You always find yourself stuck in an everlasting bit-player role And we know how it's gonna end But we play on anyway Living life and death with a boot heel across your neck Ain't the only way to roll And we know how it's gonna end And we know how it's gonna end And we know how it's gonna end But we play on anyway

Say Goodbye Again- OURMADA (Lyrics- Drew Ingle) You're always looking back too far You hate and kick yourself, forgetting who you are Exceedingly incomplete But you gotta prove it to yourself That you're gonna stick it out this time..... and own this town ’Til we say goodbye again Running free through the wires- in style- ain't this the life ’Til we say goodbye again Running free through the wires- in style- ain't this the life Just leave your bags behind   I heard you say all this before Half your life is packed and two steps from the door All you gotta do is hit the gas But you realize just now That you finally found a home at last... right here in this sleepy town ’Til we say goodbye again Running free through the wires- in style- ain't this the life ’Til we say goodbye again Running free through the wires- in style- ain't this the life Just leave your bags behind Simmer down, and pen a simple tune                  And play it like you've nothing left to lose                  I am not a slave to any scene                  It's not what's around but in between                  Now we've got nothin' left... oh nothin' left And so we say goodbye again Running free through the wires- in style- ain't this the life ’Til we say goodbye again Running free through the wires- in style- ain't this the life Just leave your bags behind Yeah… Whoa

Can I See You Tonight- OURMADA (Lyrics-Drew Ingle) Beside your window, dead as night Silhouette in frozen light Are you there? I need a sign ‘Cause I just can't pry you from my mind... so can I see you tonight I’m hardened by this winter wind No sleep and too much gin Half the man I should've been And my ego-trip is wearing thin... So can I see you tonight Can I see you tonight         Baby save me from this cold         I got nowhere left to go Tired of being all alone A heart of glass wrapped in stone Shards of ice line my bones And I don't think I can make it home... So can I see you tonight Can I see you tonight         Baby save me from this cold         I got nowhere left to go Outside your window, dead as night Silhouette in frozen light I know you’re there, I see your eyes And I will not pry you from my mind… Can I see you tonight Can I see you tonight         Baby save me from this cold         I got nowhere left to go Can I see you tonight Can I see you tonight         Baby save me from this cold         I got nowhere left to go         I got nowhere left to go         I got nowhere to call my own

If I Were Me- OURMADA (Lyrics- Drew Ingle) I never had a chance Those knee-high boots and your semi-evil glance If i were me I’da jumped up, backed off, and bid good evening but I was turned by you You slammed the door to me Paranoia was never so sexy If I had known the other half of you I’d stayed alone But you could lie too Now i'm flyin' down the road Half way to Chicago Can't get you far enough from me What's in your brain what’s in your brain is driving me away alright You tried to pen me in Family life chained to this sinful skin If I could be just half of what you want from me Would I burn anything for you? Would I burn anything for you? Now i'm flyin' down the road Half way to Chicago Can't get you far enough from me What's in your brain what’s in your brain is driving me away alright Now i'm flyin' off the road Fucked up but in control Can't get you far enough from me What's in your brain, what's in your brain Is what they call insane What's in your brain, what's in your brain Has finally driven me away alright, alright

Unfinished- OURMADA (Lyrics- Drew Ingle) We parted ways about 4 years ago And we're still counting days What we tasted, we wasted Like wine poured through our hands, It's that last drink you can't get back Every road leads to South of here ‘Bout time we learned the way But we seem to cling to  The path most trodden down We use alibis to stand our ground You gave this silent beggar change And these blind eyes never turned away The waiting goes on, but the longing grows so strong A future reprise locked inside our empty alibis For good Never said those 3 words again Oh you know, I just assumed That any day now, I’ll see you Walk up to my door And everything will be just like before You gave this silent beggar change These blind eyes never turned away The waiting goes on, but the longing grows so strong A future reprise locked inside our empty alibis For good Someday's gone sideways, laid inside these alibis And if we ever fade into a haze of grey I will rhapsodize these alibis But oh.... This beggar changed Blind eyes up and turned away The wait ain't so sweet When the morphine drips so slow I hope the day never comes when I Forget the blue of your eyes

Monster- OURMADA (Lyrics- Drew Ingle) This broken need to be free it’s taken root from seed to a tree With crumbled roads through boarded homes Fake skin, numb nerves and brittle bones We've gone and raised a feral beast that never will be tamed And now it's off its chain It's coming for the children- And ripping through the gates Fleeing from what we started- This monster must be fed This freedom pin, the peoples' sin surely will corrupt you with a grin I'll never get these idiots Eating lies, super-sized with a side of fries We've gone and raised a feral beast that never will be tamed And now it's off its chain We've gone and raised a feral beast that never will be tamed And now it's off its chain It's coming for the children- And ripping through the gates Fleeing from what we started- This monster must be fed It's coming for the children- This monster must be fed It's coming for the children- This monster must be fed Been down time and time again, but now I doubt you can ever win You’re beaten down, You’re silent in a crowd Now you feel cut off and your will is torn, looks you can't walk anymore You are drifting, ohh drifting in the sound You stood up proud and done what's right yet the- light of day is always out of sight You are angry, so frustrated now Had enough living on our knees now old loves are new enemies We will not be ignored It's coming for the children- And ripping through the gates Fleeing from what we started- This monster must be fed It's coming for the children- This monster must be fed It's coming for the children- This monster must be fed

Your phone's been blowin’ up for hours, no sound or sight Yeah now there's a vacant place in all of us Ever since you drove your final mile If every death truly brings a new birth There's a baby out there with your smile Hey Cori, Cori  How we miss her so Stevie B. of the BMC- he was a good, good friend of mine Oh he was blue eyed and true- with an unyielding punk attitude Everybody knows the burning of his home, and love can drop like stone Yeah you know his story don't end the way it oughta end I guess a broken heart can get ya after all Hey hey Stevie, Stevie where'd you go last night? Your phone's been blowin’ up for hours, no sound or sight And now there's a vacant place in all of us And it’s filled only by the cold If every death truly brings a new birth There's a baby out there with your soul Yeah yeah yeah yeah- Yeah Yeah Yeah Woah oh oh oh- Woah oh oh oh Woah oh oh oh- woah oh oh oh ohWhoa oh oh oh Woah- Whoa oh oh oh Woah- Whoa oh oh oh oh oh Hey Stevie, Stevie  How we miss him so......

Bel Ami- OURMADA (Lyrics- Drew Ingle) I’m sunken and confused Since I last looked on you- I wish we'd never met A total waste of time The year you sucked from my life- and I’m never looking back So how could you go wrong? You had me strung along My rearview mirror's laying at your feet Hey hey hey hey Bel Ami Your artificial tears And superficial cheer- can't hide who you really are We had a perfect match But you lit it up too fast- I guess you can't lead a horse to drink So how could you go wrong? You had me strung along My rearview mirror's laying at your feet Hey hey hey hey Bel Ami Hey hey hey hey Bel Ami yeah yeah yeah yeah How could you go wrong? You had me strung along My rearview mirror's laying at your feet Hey hey hey hey Bel Ami Hey hey hey hey Bel Ami Hey hey hey hey Bel Ami

Brisvegas- OURMADA (Lyrics- Drew Ingle) This place is such a drain when it's snowing everyday On your back the heavy cold weighs you down, oh it weighs you down It's time I moved away from the chirps of the inane Can't hear myself dream and makes me want to join the scream I need a freer scene with a sweet sweet ocean breeze And it's about damn time I put that short stack on the line Sayin' somethin' I ain't said before, I can't wait for the day when I can't take no more That old-timey, all-american style is overrated, played out and overrated now I've bailed for Brisvegas and i'm drinking every ounce of sunshine I can find     I'm breaking to daylight     With no irony implied, I spite this life by staying alive Color of the leaves don't mean shit to me And you patriotic moles chasing rabbits down a hole Oh I can't lie, I would trade this charcoal sky In a New York minute for a Gold Coast high Sayin' somethin' I ain't said before, I can't wait for the day when I can't take no more That old-timey, all-american style is overrated, played out and overrated now So I've bailed for Brisvegas and I’m drinking every ounce of sunshine I can find     I'm breaking to daylight     With no irony implied, I spite this life by staying alive It’s probably just a phase, I could never stay away Even though I put her down, she’s still my dog to kick around So I've bailed for Brisvegas and I’m drinking every ounce of sunshine I can find     I'm breaking to daylight     With no irony implied, I spite this life by staying alive I've bailed for Brisvegas and I’m drinking every ounce of sunshine I can find     I'm breaking to daylight     With no irony implied, I spite this life by staying alive

Saturn Shines- OURMADA (Lyrics- Drew Ingle) I’m a grown up man with a backward plan for getting out of here alive Gotta make a new start, gotta dress the part But I don't have enough dimes left for the ride If you give yourself away, they will never thank you So don't lose your nerve to lose And they can never break you Might've taken a while, a few extra miles but finally maybe not so lost after all After all these years and childish fears,  Maybe baby, not so cold after all If you give yourself away, they will never thank you If you give it all away, they will never thank you So don't lose your nerve to lose I was raised by whips and razors, a clown without a grin I had no will, I had no cause A bitter world of my own making is fostered up within Feed the din, feel the real It's the one thing you have yet to win Don’t give it all away, ‘cause they will never thank you Don’t give yourself away, ‘cause they will never thank you So don’t give it all away, ‘cause they will never ever ever thank you So don't lose your nerve to lose

about

Melodic, anthemic, driving, and introspective, well describe the moments captured on OURMADA's debut album. Pop sensibility guarantees a great experience for first-time fans, while depth of writing and arrangement reward repeated listening.
