My mind stays jaded,
And oppressed by whats going on outside.
Society runs itself,
And we are left just standing here in line.
By myself I cant do shit,
But with you all I might just stand a chance.
TO BREAK THE MOLD!
For all those that have sweat and bled,
And tried to leave it all.
I GIVE YOU THIS!
I GIVE YOU MY ALL!
For all that sweat and bled,
And tried to pull me under.
THE WORLD IS HOLDING ME DOWN!
Tell yourself,
It ain't worth shit,
Only you are worth more.
This world is shit so tell yourself,
To live, to laugh, to learn.
TO MAKE A MARK ON EARTH!
MERCHANT I'VE PAID MY PRICE!
THE WORLD IS HOLDING ME DOWN!
BUT I AM NOT DEFEATED!
Cause I will stand my ground my chin up high,
WITH MY HANDS TO THE SKY!
Before it all comes down,
Let us live our lives our way,
Just let us go just let us have it!
As one we fall..
But together we can make it
THE CHILDREN OF OUR GENERATION! x2

I don't think I will ever see eye to eye
With the rest of this world.
because my consciousness resides up high in the clouds.
SOARING SPEECHLESS,
Without a care or a doubt.
Why doubt yourself about things you know that could be true.
It's up to you to reveal the truth.
That’s hiding way over our heads.
And I won't be put to rest,
without finding out what’s best.
I WON'T BE PUT TO REST.
THIS IS MY CHALLENGE AND MY TEST.
I’ll pass with flying colours.
I won't doubt myself x3
I'll take your word,
when it means something to my life.
I'll take your word when you stop speaking in your tongues.
I don’t think I ever will,
until I can see eye to eye.
With a world that doesn’t listen.
Why doubt yourself about things you know that could be true.
It's up to you to reveal the truth.
It's so real it happens all around us,
we just overlook it and brush it off.
But the truth remains.
IT WON’T EVER FADE AWAY.
From our childhoods
and in our lifetime,
I've learned things won't ever change.
We'll make the best of what we have.
But in my mind I know…
We will all remain.
We are going nowhere fast. x2

I remember a time when we had each other in our arms.
We had each other.
The tide will clear our minds, as we walk into the ocean,
and redefine what we call emotion.
We all have a point in our life that we needed someone to believe.
It sucks to eat the amount of bullshit that I’m fed
by everyone around me, even the ones playing dead.
WE ALL x3
Have a reason to believe in something greater than this,
GREATER THAN THIS.
The tide will clear our minds, as we walk into the ocean,
and redefine what we call emotion.
I used to speak of things I’ve never felt.
It got me somewhere, but nowhere fast
I HAD TO CHANGE
I changed my life in the end.
It wasn’t easy, but believe me when I say… x2
YOU’RE NOT ALONE.
The tides (WILL CLEAR OUR MIND) x2
The tide will clear our minds, as we walk into the ocean,
and redefine....
Don’t hold me down x3
Don’t hold me....
I'm breaking free from this,
from everything.
But even when I’m gone,
I'm here for you.
YOU'RE NOT ALONE.

That Sinking Feeling
02:56

Everywhere I've been tonight,
I've been struggling for warmth.
Stifled by my doubt, but protected by these walls.
Somewhere, I'm forever sinking.
While I'm searching for a sign, while I'm drowning inside.
I will hold my breath, knowing I'll rise to the top,
and never fucking sink again.
So many sleepless nights tearing down these walls.
I call my mind.
THEN THE PRESSURE SETS IN.
I am darkness. Let me have your mind.
You'll never have to feel pain again.
Blinded by my ambition, I put this beast back in its cage
I will prove to myself that I’m not alone.
That I won't be swallowed whole,
and if I am, let it be known.
That you are you, and I am me.
We've tried our best, that's all we need.
To think better of ourselves, to think better. x2
Of ourselves
I will never sink, to the depths of my mind.
From the root of my hate, and from the bottom of my heart,
I WILL HOLD MY BREATH. x2
I can never sink again (I WILL NOT).
I can't stand to watch you fall.
I WILL HOLD MY BREATH. x2

The Vision

I look straight up and the skies are empty.
Not a cloud in sight. Nothing on my mind.
It's like we're waiting for something to fall in to place.
WE'LL WAIT ALL DAY.
The trees are swaying with the wind.
My mind starts drifting into it's own world,
stuck thinking this will never change.
I’D RATHER FIND OUT MY OWN WAY.
The skies are empty.
Not a cloud in sight, nothing ever on my mind.
It's like we're waiting for something to fall;
Right into place.
WE'LL WAIT ALL GODDAMN FUCKING DAY.
I’d rather find out my own way,
then wait all my fucking life..
to find out what we're worth.
TO FIND OUT.
I remain fearless in this moment.
To prove to you,
That we don't stand a chance (That we don't stand a chance).
UNLESS WE MAKE THIS LIFE OURS. x2
We're running in circles yet again,
but I can't seem to catch my breath.
It takes my breath away,
like rain drops to the sea.
We're just like rain drops to the sea,
or a falling leaf from a tree.
More insignificant than it seems,
to a plan that we won't ever see.
Well that’s just what’s on my mind.

You woke me from dreaming,
and I'd rather be asleep.
No one gives a shit about anyone that's all I have to say.
It's like we've been left
in a place to fend for ourselves.
And I think I'll be fine.
To a time, to a reason.
I'd rather be dreaming away. (DREAMING AWAY).
SO SLEEP, SLEEP, SLEEP, SLEEP...
Sleep away.
Until we wake.
AND I'D RATHER BE DREAMING,
Then pretending it's all okay.
And I'd rather be dreaming,
Then pretending it's all okay.
I've been asleep for all these years.
So now I'm screaming out all of these fears to YOU.
I AM AFRAID,
of what's to come (Of what's to come).
Everyone has a chance to do right.
Everyone has a chance to make do and mend.
It won't be long.
Shake it off, shake it off.
LET IT GO. x2
Is it really even worth it?
TO ALL MY FEARS. x2
To all my fears.
I'M WAKING UP.
and I'm not happy.
Sometimes I wish I was still dreaming (I'M WIDE AWAKE).
We can't escape.
My eyes are closed. My mind is forever open, to all the possibilities in this world.
That we are outsiders, that we're not from here.
And if we were, I’d rather be dreaming.
Cause I know we can't escape...
WE CAN'T ESCAPE!
This is our nightmare.
Something we can't escape.
We are…
We are the day dreamers.

What's the point of a grudge?
Are we really that bitter?
And can we not learn to let it go?
Got to let it go.
I have changed my views on life.
So I can see, see the light in these sunless hearts.
SEE THE LIGHT.
My passion,
It burns so bright, blinding only those
who might doubt me or my mind.
I CAN SEE THE LIGHT.
Betrayed, Hurt, Worn, and Tired…
In the end, it could only get worse.
Then it did…
I'm reaching out, I'm reaching out.
TO ALL YOUR HEARTS x2
I've never felt like this, I've never felt this before.
It's like I’m becoming more.
Now I’m screaming out this anger.
Screaming it out through this song.
This world is fucked up and I am sure,
that no one left here can be pure.
Not even for a day.
COULD I EVER TAKE THINGS TO HEART.
So I don't even wait.
TO START MY FORGIVENESS.
And I know...
THEY WILL HOLD ON TO THAT KNIFE.
Clenched so tight and always ready,
to stab it in your back.
