Destroy everything cleanse
Wipe away the filth Set fire to your waste Burn everything Back into dirt Burn everything Flood, drown the earth Flood, drown the earth It's what we deserve Rehash the poisons You breathe in the air Tear down what you say your father created Constructing buildings over buildings Conceal history like a shameful scar This world has lived for a million years with more to come It's only a matter of time until you choke on your indifference Struggling to breathe as the water fills your lungs Trying hard to scream as it rises into your throat The reckless, the careless Will reign until the oceans rise Flood, drown the earth Flood, drown the earth It's what we deserve It's what we deserve It's what we deserve It's what we deserve It's what we deserve This world has lived for a million years with more to come It's only a matter of time until you choke on your indifference Struggling to breathe as the water fills your lungs Trying hard to scream as it rises into your throat Wake up And save yourself The sea will reclaim What it worked to create Wake up Save yourself Pick up the pieces Ask for forgiveness 02. Martyr
Demand what you will never deserve.
Respect is gained by trust shown and earned. Don't mask your pride with humility, while forcing others to keep proving their loyalty. You've been a hypocrite for years, drawing swords as much as you draw their tears. Demand what you will never deserve Respect is gained by trust shown and earned You build your strength off of your anger, fighting a selfish battle with no answer. Your transparency has started showing. Don't let fear guide you where you are going. You would die for everyone else, but you won't live for yourself. Do you mean what you say? Do you say what you mean, or will you find another lie, another lie to hide behind? Keep speaking to the world about what you can't forget. You can't forget all the things you hold onto, refusing to forgive those that hurt you. You're taking steps on a fine line so you don't have to choose a side. Good deeds are not recognized when the heart's intent is full of pride. You're taking steps on a fine line, so you don't have to choose a side Good deeds are not recognized, when the heart's intent is full of pride One day we hope you stop holding it on all in, and learn to let go and forgive (forgive). 03. Identity
Do you know how it feels to hide
with thoughts repressed deep down inside? I guess you just loved the lie. Truth is, you can't decide where my heart resides. You want to cure me of this epidemic, you call me sick. I wish I had said it, the words to admit to you who I am. My entire life I was dealt the wrong hand and cast aside from the man that I am. I've never felt so free. It kills me to hear you say you "choose to love me." I was hoping that would be a given, given our history. I've never felt so free, so free You think I'm wrong, you think I'm wrong but I never felt better. Stop living in denial, stop loving the lie. I thought blood was thicker than water. You think I'm wrong but I never felt better. [2x] I know I disappointed you, but I've got nothing to prove. You want to cure me of this epidemic, you call me sick. I wish I had said it, the words to admit to you who I am. My entire life I was dealt the wrong hand, but now I've realized this is who I am. I've made my decision, you're either with or against me. You're either with or against me. Stop living in denial, stop loving the lie. I thought blood was thicker than water. You think I'm wrong but I never felt better. Stop living in denial, stop loving the lie. I'm standing firm. It's who I am. You can't keep me, you can't keep me down. Iʼm moving on. I'm living free. You canʼt stop me, you canʼt stop me now. 04. Separating The Seas
This place isn't meant for people like you
Spouting ideals for your fans to consume You're insignificant, like an ant in the midst of elephants You're all the same You know you won't last forever You're all the same A flavor of the week is how you'll be remembered You're all the same Pulling your so-called burdens off of your back, throwing them overboard along the rest Ignoring the pioneers, insulting your peers Did it feel good to get that off your chest? Dragging us miles and miles through the mud, our faces battered and bruised We'll pick ourselves up out of the hole that you dug, reaching and clawing to pull you under The tides will turn, and justice will be served "Self-righteous" isn't a term saved for the religious The tides will turn Justice will be served, while I carve you to pieces with my words Your legend will fade No one will remember your name You know you won't last forever You're all the same A flavor of the week is how you'll be remembered You're all the same No one will remember your name 05. Ghosts
We are the ghosts of the midway, the beasts of the alley.
We are the living dead living in your nightmares. Scraping ourselves from the earth, living as though we are dirt. Staring like you've seen a ghost. The lowest of the low with nowhere to go. Back from the dead, now we're groveling at your feet. Handcuffed for lying our heads as we're withering in the streets. Back from the dead, now we're groveling at your feet Handcuffed for lying our heads as we're withering in the streets Fighting for your attention. Begging for your generosity. Looking up just to see you turn your cheek on me. You walk on by like I'm invisible (invisible). All I want is to be seen as an equal. We fought your battles, and we built your homes. Sorry if I disturbed you. I just wish we could live like you do. Even in our most beautiful days it's dark. Just look at the world around you. There's a consequence for what we do. Pass judgment on me as you walk. Picture perfect ain't my obsession. You can't sum up my life from a first impression. Learn your lesson. Act like you know me, but do you even know yourself? When you got nothin', you got nothin' to lose. Act like you know me, but do you even know yourself? When you got nothin', you got nothin' to lose I may have no one else to blame, but listen to me. You and I, we were once the same. I may have no one else to blame, but listen to me You and I, we were once the same I may have no one else to blame, but listen to me You and I, we were once the same I may have no one else to blame, but listen to me You and I, we were once the same 06. Majoring In The Minors
These windy streets tell of a different time
What got us here won't get us there It's time for the upright to have insight Don't forget what's important in life This place is like a cage that will imprison you Is comfort only found without adversity? Anyone, anywhere in history, has confronted these realities What got us here won't get us there I'll be there soon that's why I care Everyone you love will one day fade away Everything you have will rot and decay Everything around us will burn Burn up in the death of the sun It's in the pain that we see our true selves change In the sea of difficulty we are defined When we're blind we will feel our true selves change In the sea of difficulty we leave our comfort behind We are found in far away places, when all seems lost We are found in far away places, not all is lost We must be strong and cling onto hope (cling onto hope) We must be strong, when the ground is shifting out from under our feet We are found in far away places when all seems lost We are found in far away places when all seems lost Stop majoring in the minors It's when you get inside that is widens Stay true tempered (stay true tempered) You're not the first to find life is tough Circumstantial hope isn't really hope It's just a watered down distraction from what stands in our way Hope gives us the ability to face reality, the ability to see through it all 07. Everlasting Ending
Ordinary men don't find their own way (find their own way)
It's in the struggle that we can finally see I'll never forget how I felt so far away when fear waged war and wore down on me What do you say when you can't get the words out? Can you hear me? Don't let me down What do you say when you can't get the words out? Can you hear me? Don't let me down Can you hear me? Don't let me down Put your fear away Push it off the edge so that left is who you are Stand tall against the waves in the ocean You must be brave when it's sink or swim Rest comes to the weary We're so tired of losing (we're so tired of losing) The sun will break through You'll get what you need (you'll get what you need) The sun will break through You'll get what you need Wait to speak until you find the words to say They'll come I promise they'll come You'll hear them out loud without forcing the words out. Put all your fear away Ordinary men don't find their own way It's in the struggle that we can finally see I'll never forget how I felt so far away when fear waged war and wore down on me Bravery will find you when your head is hung low Your fear is like a fever It too will go 08. Broken Promises
You've given up on us
You've taken all I've made and all I've become You've given up on us Just another empty promise by those I love Pushing me down flat on the ground trying to escape the pain I needed you to meet me half way, but I'm left abandoned with nothing more to say I thought family was forever I thought family stuck together What's done is done I'm too far gone I've never felt so alone Accept what you've done and rise to the challenge (rise to the challenge) Stop pointing the blame There's no on left to betray You're full of broken promises These days are dark, filled with heavy clouds pouring on me I'll keep giving while you keep taking, as my trust in you is breaking I see now my sacrifice got left by the wayside You've given up on us You've taken all I've made and all I've become You've given up on us Just another empty promise by those I love Put your arms in the air Just another empty promise by those I love Prove your worth, and part the sky for me 09. Blackwood
There is no hope for me, at least I know
I know what I believe, and now I see No longer will we be fooled, you say There is no hope for me, at least I know I know what I believe, and now I see No longer will we be fooled White skin, white teeth, black heart, black lungs Sleeping on your stacks of millions As your followers struggle to overcome, overcome Sickness, poverty, heartbreak, hatred are dealt with every day You can't relate You can't remember a single name Stare into a screen before you'll look them in the eyes You'll never change a life until you know Everything you say sounds like a lie Blessed by the hands of God, or cursed by the tongue of the devil? Who do you serve? No more ignorance, no more complacency Behind your white skin and white teeth Lies a heart so black it makes the abyss look bright You say, you say, there is no hope for me If a rich man can't get into heaven, where will you dwell? If a rich man can't ascend, will I see you in hell? You say, there is no hope for me, at least I know I know what I believe, and now I see No longer will we be fooled, you say There is no hope for me, at least I know I know what I believe, and now I see No longer will we be fooled 10. Twenty-One Grams
As I follow you, where will you lead me?
To the ends of the world, or is that just the beginning? I've rolled through villages And done my best to pass on your name How much is too much? How far is too far? As I push on and leave everything behind The front line swears I'm going into battle blind A life dedicated to what I can't see Still grasping what I was told to believe What kind of cruel truth only presents itself In the moment you die? In the moment you die The facts are becoming less and less transparent Constantly mixed with the thoughts of the incoherent Dig deep, they're hidden beneath centuries of dust and dirt Covered up by the evolution of the earth I'm struggling with the blessing of the unseen It's harder and harder to not be accusing Continuing to draw the lines of acceptance I'm trying and trying to translate the evidence Why do we owe anyone repentance? Repentence While seeking answers to these questions? These questions Why do we owe anyone repentance? Repentance While seeking answers to these questions? Questions We don't owe, we don't owe We don't owe, we don't owe Anyone repentance We don't owe, we don't owe, repentance As I follow you, where will you lead me? To the ends of the world, or is that just the beginning? The only time you'll ever know if you chose the right side Is when you close your eyes for the very last time Question, all that you knew Question, It's how you'll find the truth Question, question It will only make you stronger Question, all that you knew Question, It's how you'll find the truth Question, question It will only make you stronger 11.

Wave goodbye, as we turn our backs on our past
Wave goodbye, cut our future short to pave a new path Wave goodbye, we dropped it all on a dime to be on our own Wave goodbye, as we make the escape into the unknown We pushed through shattering expectations Filled with dreams, filled with heartache We pushed through shattering expectations Filled with dreams, filled with heartache We're still standing strong, standing strong As we keep living on, living on Free fall Close your eyes and take the dive Free fall Close your eyes and take the dive Free fall Close your eyes, and take the dive This is your new purpose in life, This is your new purpose in life Free fall Close your eyes, and take the dive This is your new purpose in life, This is your new purpose in life Free fall Close your eyes, and take the dive This is your new purpose in life, This is your new purpose in life Free Fall This is your new purpose in life, This is your new purpose in life |
