Matthew Ryan: Hey Kid

From the Album:I Recall Standing As Though Nothing Could Fall (2012)

(Acoustic Demo)

Hey kid

Your story's not dead yet

I know it's all fucked up

I know it feels hopeless

Yeah

Hey kid

Your heart is a weapon

Against the fools of armageddon

Uh huh

Hey kid

The static's getting thicker

I hope you can still picture

A world without tears

We need you here

We need that here

Uh huh

We got soul on command

We got sex on demand

We got everything

But nothing's really real

We got hyper confession

We got constant compression

We got fatigue and violence

A war against silence

When all we need

Is something we can feel

Okay, all right

Okay, all right, it's not all right

You'll have to fight

The war inside

The endless night

That's modern life

Hey kid

Your story's not dead yet

I know it's all fucked up

I know it feels hopeless

Yeah
