we’re burning
destroying
our lives have become
tortured
and bothered by whats been going on
reaching and grabbing for dreams of returning
to have our dreams interupted by alarms
this is the end
we’ve gone away
we’re falling back to earth
return to earth
return to earth
and we’re running in circles again
we’re running in circles
and we’re running in circles again
thinking big but doing so small
if this is the way that we’re living
then why should we live at all?
my life is mine
i’m working towards not ever having to work
my life is mine
my life is mine
waking up to feel the pressure
this is what i’ve never wanted
close your eyes and sleep it all off
I’ve given up my dreams
for this so called life
which I’ll never be happy living in
this so called life
which I’ll never be happy living in
I’ll carry on
put on my tie and fake up my smile
I’ll carry on
so watch me fake it
I’d like for nothing more
then to live a day of peace
with no care in sight
just this life of mine
I’d like for nothing more
then to spit in your fucking face
with no care in mind
this is not a dream
this is not a dream
this is not a dream
this is cruel reality it’s everything it seems.
I’ve been a sinking ship
I’ve been a fucking wreck
Lie to me, tell me I matter
through the clouds we’ve crashed on down
oh, my eyes have seen destruction of hopes
and dreams the sun has set for the last time
How can I last through my struggles
when I know that this burden is my own
yet, I have seen
the strength from within me still grows
growing away
all that I love and call my own
I'm waking up
To brighter days
what we can now call our own
I see the wake with eyes closed tight and open arms
a constitution of promises and broken laws
you've given up all hope
you've killed our pride
you've left us buried and
behind your eyes
the light reflects your every thought
this will sink in your mind
until the day you die
for what remains
you put your life in my hands
I felt your world crumble
quit preaching to me
you're not the voice that I thought I'd need
I'm not the one who's begging to be counted
I don't need approval
you speak about the things that you say that you speak
against
I'll live for myself
why would I stay always living on my knees?
to stand a thrive (the truth)
to know the truth (the truth)
to speak our minds
to live our lives
question everything
thank your lord
for you have been saved
wake up, open your eyes
to the world
(to the world)
beckon me when the time is right to strike
this is the end of the line
and I'm sure that you'd be happy
this is the anthem of destitution
seek your prophets
hope and pray that they can cleanse your sins
for this is rapture, where was mercy when you were
master?
this is the product of our blood and sweat and
righteous minds
this is the meaning of the cries and screams and
endless dreams
walking on uncharted land
with minds of steel, a heart of man.
this is the beat of resistance
this is the start of a war
this is our hope for salvation
this is our means to restore
it's up to us
to present the truth
leave nothing hidden
they won't reveal the proof to you.
the war is raging and I'm fighting for truth
we come from nothing, we have everything to prove
we are the peasants, we are the kings
we are the definition of what war brings
this, this is our life
we will live long
we will see victory
until then,don't bow your head
lead with your fist
reach for the end
dismiss every threat with faith in yourself
burn for this
die to live
give up your life.
these are times of restitution built upon their graves
we are kings of all we see our eyes are blind and hands
are bound
I would sleep tonight knowing that you'll write but the
letter will never be found
with our history, I hope I live to see the day I forget
I've seen it all becoming
becoming something new
the dreams we once had fade away
but this is who we are
our warlike nature
through years of moral struggle
we are desensitized
our eyes have seen so much that should not be seen.
I've looked for answers from the ones from above
the sun will always set
and if it sets on us before we are ready
we'll see it rise again
it will rise as long as we keep faith
with our eyes we have seen so much hate
I cannot picture this ending well for us
but it always works out
in the end
this was a mistake.
it was a mistake.
our world has become plagued but it won't stick
the winds of change will come to revive
our eyes have seen the glory of what we can do
we must be strong and resist the urge of giving in
the sun will set, the sky will rain.
but we have persisted the worst of all the storms
if we give up right now our lives will never end
we will be burdened with the guilt of failure then
the sun will glare down causing fire in our eyes
the winds will blow and make the sound of nature's
cries
we must repair
we must be civil
and as I open my eyes
a new day has dawned
offering us a chance to start over
but we are stuck in the ways of the past
we are still burdened by the hate in our hearts
and with that hate we turn our world into a living hell
we wake to fire and images of life in a cell
we feel remorse but we always try to justify
our rebirth cannot start until we fucking die
I'll fight and I'll stand and I'll be a bigger man
I'll fight and I'll stand and I'll be a bigger man
I'LL FIGHT AND I'LL STAND AND I'LL BE A BIGGER MAN
the line is drawn
you lie through teeth and dead eyes
if I’d have known, I’d be pulling knives from my back
why must I be the reciever?
why can’t I be dishing it out?
I hear your lies through gates and recievers
they’re not working anymore
as you meet your maker
walk through the gates and see your
running out
out of lies
running out
out of time
you seem to hurt those around you
turning decency into deception
the jokes on you
you will never again return to peace in your life of
hell
the jokes on you, you will never again find an ounce of
peace in your life of hell.
You deserve the life you’ve got
you fucked up and it’s all your fault
I won’t forget what you’ve done and the pain you’ve
caused
the worst pain in the world is the pain that you feel
when your friends are gone
I hope you choke on words, don’t spill a drop
I hope you fucking hate the life you’ve got.
Who I am will always be who I am.
How can you even fucking think that I would let this
slide again?
I’m moving onward
We’ll never speak again
the taste of your words on my tounge
tastes so much like betrayal
the last time in my life that i look like a fool for
the gates will open up and the depths of hell will
swallow you
In words and in text you spread lies and deceit
The life that you live will be yours to keep
reaching and grabbing at you from beneath
your words and your lies won’t allow you to breathe
Through lessons and scriptures, you sow, you must reap
the gates of redemption will not let you sleep
and in time
your fate will be mine
your whole life
will be remembered as lies
you mean nothing to me
I’m everything that you’ll never be
you mean nothing to me
The gates swing open and you'll find you're
running out
out of lies
running out
out of time
I was trying to be
I was trying to be
I was trying to be
I was trying to be
These are the types of things that I'd take to my grave
the misdirection of society has been detained.
collecting profit under false monickers
the circumstances stray far from reality.
come with me, we'll reach the distance
take my hand and I'll lead you astray.
I'll be the one, you'll find, believe me.
keep me far from the truth.
The walls caved in on me
I'm buried underneath all of your lies
see what you seek
This will weigh heavy on my mind forever.
What happens here is all my fault because I've
faltered.
I let you go, in dreams, I see your face.
Forgive what I have done for I am just a man.
You are my heart, I feel you beating.
It seems to me I am my own enemy.
I feel like giving up, I feel like letting go.
I feel I'm going to make you proud.
I won't let you down.
You didn't die for nothing.
I'll carry you home and put you to sleep for the last
time.
there's peace, knowing your there.
I feel you watching.
I can't change the past.
but I'll change the world.
You didn't die for nothing.
Trust in my hand.
It's the one that's been thats been tearing the walls
down.
I've made an honest mistake.
I'm the one who's wrong.
Now, those things I said all fell on deaf ears.
I won't be wrong again, I won't make the same mistakes.
We have been deceived.
Despite all the mistakes that we make in our lives
and despite the hardships that we are faced with
it's never too late to become something.
And I know that we can succeed.
we are the forgotten ones
we are the left behind
we walk this path alone until the day we die.
we are the forgotten ones
we are the left behind
we walk this path alone until the day we die.
we are the stranded
we are the forgotten ones
the gates have come and gone and it's all our faults
I find it hard to say
that your American dream is just a fantasy
it’s just a fantasy
It’s just a fantasy
despite all our advances
it’s just a fantasy
drying,my tears run out
and leave beds of action
crying, the screams of doubt
lead to the fearless reactions of our world
there’s such a burden upon my shoulders that leads me
to believe responsibility is mine
contradictions and hypocrisy are ripping apart what we
have worked for
we are the sons
marching towards days of dignity
we are the sons
the sons of liberty
this is the worst of whats to come
the days go unending until dawn
the nights seem like sleepless eternities
awake to new days where hope still remains
is this your world?
this isn’t my america
through hundreds of sleepless nights
we’ve come to terms
with our fates.
these are the times that will try all our souls
whats left of what they started? of us all?
the struggles we face are hard and their fierce
blazing a path that needs to be cleared
reaching for new beginnings
look to the sky for answers from prophets and saviors
realize that no one or nothing can save you
hope is all we have
through all of our struggles
Betrayal in the purest form
with shaken hands our fates are forsaken
holding strength to never look back on our past
and work for better days
of our youth slip away from our grasp
marching on to our graves
reaching for those who are better equipped to survive
the reign.
now, the world is watching
all eyes are on you
the skies have cleared revealing the lands that you
helped burn
to the ground
all the people who cared
and the ones who failed to survive
may their souls be put to rest
raise your voice, be heard
remember this feeling
raise your fucking voice
be heard.
questioning positions
lead your own life
containing the masses
stop and think for yourself
when the sun is glaring hotter than ever
when the moon glows straight through your eyes
where the night ends and begins the day.
looking back on our past
the hands of time are pointed at you
remember this time in your life
for the love of yourself, repent, find peace
I see what your doing
this is more than an accusation
when the tables have turned
you'll see what you have wasted
is this a weight worth carrying?
I'm just a mortal man.
I'm not strong enough to commit to this
the world is watching
all eyes turn to me
the world is watching
watching me burn
and all we've worked for
all that we know
has been erased from the pages
the clock resets now
(I can't erase, I can't stop these dreams
you haunt me
and no matter how hard I try
I can't erase from the pages
of our lives)
I'd watch you die
to be the one who makes it out
I'd throw away the bonds we shared
it's a fight for survival
I gave the one thing that I held close in my life
I am the shepherd leading sheep into the slaughter
receive your fate and sleep
close your eyes and pray for shelter
I am the stone
I am the one that you rely on
I'm just a man, not a shoulder you can cry on
all the money in the world could never change my ways
a nation contested
under god, under us all
what it means is not to be decided by one
but by the masses
reaching out
what it means is not to be decided by one
but by the masses
reaching out
those without a voice shall be audible
those without a voice shall be audible
and as bodies burn for causes we regret
they sit back and laugh.
they sit back and laugh at your faults and differences
they sit back and laugh
they just laugh at those who dont share fortunes like
they do
our lives are run by it but we are breaking through
getting rich off of your son’s blood
taking life from the youth of america
getting rich off of your son’s blood
taking life from the youth of america
Ride, because tonight is the night
the roots grow deep watered by the blood of patriots
The rising tide
the rising tide
the rising tide
the rising tide
will wash you away.
hearing all your differences and laughing all these
years
no more feeding to the vultures preying on your fears
I’ve grown tired of propaganda brainwashing minds of
those who are weak and sending signs of hope, believe
this is the ending
love is dead
love is dead
our last stand for the life of man
I'm holding on
I'm holding on to your ghost
I'm holding on
I'm holding onto you
and I feel the pressure
and I don't want to remember
I can't help but feeling
like I'm holding on to you
your eyes are haunting
I can't escape
your eyes, they haunt my soul
I can't turn back the time
I can't turn back the time
I can't turn back the time
