Lyrics

is it bad that I never really wanted to get saved?
and laughing when hurt was my thing?
well I'm thinking that I want to
I don't really want to
yes I really want to
so let me go now
champing the bit for nutrition's sake
I'd rather burn out than/then fade away
die young then/than live forever
I'm gonna raise hell until it's high enough to be heaven
then maybe you can find me (there)
they told me if I look up
they told me I would find you there
what if I say that mutually exclusive ain't a thing?
now God and Darwin are ashamed
well, I'd like to reconsider
you can't reconsider
let me reconsider
so what you're saying is- for me, you're saying that
the stairway to heaven is more like a slope?
and I will slip to a fiery death
if I don't believe in Satan?
they said there's no such thing as an atheist in a foxhole
I'm trying to be a god damned believer but the road to heaven's full of potholes
they said he talks like a christian
but walks like an atheist
I'm gonna raise hell until it's high enough to be heaven
then maybe you can find me (there)
maybe I can find you
hoping I can find you
they told me if I look up
they told me I would find you there
If I look up to find you
then how can I deny you?
there were no martyrs until he gave himself away
giving your life is the only way to make them see
and once you're gone, they'll realize death is the only way
to die for your cause is the most effective way to propagate
make me a martyr make sure the books they read my name
a gun to my head, a hair trigger with the worst of aim
flirting with death, but I'm married to my selfish ways
see, I'd die for something, but then I wouldn't get to see the fame
to be a martyr you mustn't die a death in vain
I'd kill myself, but suicide is so cliché
heavenly father, does heaven have a place for me
or will I get there only to learn St. Peter has misplaced the key?
right down the middlepolarity
right down the middle
that's wherewe'llmeetthem all afteryou kill one
there's bound to be more
with thousandsfuckingthousands that makes about a millionmore
us v. them an ARMY
us v. them
us.
us.

In the summer of 2002 this thing we call "letlive." began in a garage in a small suburb of Los Angeles with one goal in mind. Above all else, letlive. was meant to be an idea not an outfit. This idea took its roots in honesty, humility, and finding an ironic strength in vulnerability. This is how it all began and it must end in the same fashion.

We have been granted opportunities and experiences beyond anything we could have …
