When the burdens that we share
Begin to drag us down
They will force our hand into making decisions for which we're unprepared
These phantoms that I hold
So very close to me
I know they spell my doom
Still can I let them go
Am I falling down
Again to bended knee
I won't be the hope that you abandon
To save yourself
Self sacrifice is nothing more than self indulgance
With all the games we've payed
In search of constant change
Will the bridges we have burned cut off our only source of escape
Although I'm well aware
These scars will bury me
And my freedom's in release
Still I can't let them go
Am I falling down
Again to bended knee
I won't be the hope that you abandon
To save yourself
Self sacrifice is nothing more than self indulgance
Hold on tight
Though the waves are crashing in
I swear we'll make it this time
For hope has not abandoned this land
Is it attitdue or aptitude that makes us prone to servitude
With everything that we've been through
Just what the hell are we trying to prove
I am not the only one
No I can't be the only one
Who sees the lives we tend to live and thinks there must be more to it
Wanting more than just to get by
Learn to laugh as well as cry
Learn to hold my head up high and live outside of compromise
I am not the only one
I can't be the only one
Please say I'm not the only one
Please god I can't be the only one
Am I falling down
Again to bended knee
I won't be the hope that you abandon
To save yourself
Self sacrifice is nothing more than self indulgance
Hold on tight
Though the waves are crashing in
I swear we'll make it this time
For hope has not abandoned this land
Hope has not abandoned us

Mirror Tells Lies
03:42

Seperate truth from bone
distinguishing flesh from lies
Peel apart shroud by shroud
The layers that cover your eyes
And I won't beleive
This is who I am
No I won't be forced down to be who you claim I am
Decisions
Run through my brain
They're haunting me
Haunting my every step
And I won't beleive
This is who I am
No I won't be forced down to be who you claim I am
NO
and I won't beleive
YOU
I just don't beleive
NO
and I won't beleive
These are the lies you tell me every single day
Tear down the walls
That try and tell us who we are
Strip away the pain the shame the games the blame
Today
And I won't beleive
This is who I am
No I won't be forced down to be who you claim I am
NO
and I won't beleive
YOU
I just don't beleive
NO
and I won't beleive
These are the lies you tell me every single day
The mirror tells lies
The mirror tells lies
Disengage yourself from everything you thought you knew about the truth
there's more than one way you can live this life
I am not ashamed
I am not affraid
I will grow
I will grow
I will grow
And I won't beleive
This is who I am
No I won't be forced down to be who you claim I am
NO
and I won't beleive
YOU
I just don't beleive
NO
and I won't beleive
These are the lies you tell me every single day

War. War Never Changes
05:35

Pressing onward despite this sence of dread
Warnings we'll loose ourselves echoing inside our heads
Smell of ashes
Footprints on shallow graves
the faces that I've changesd will haunt my dreams until that final day
Yet I will not be affraid of today
For in this way that heroes are made
Justifying or lying to ourselves
No victory's to be had if we forfiet our souls
When the smoke begins to fade away
Will we stand on what we did that day
Staring down the barrel of
Decisions that will define humanity
These hands will never come clean
No matter how I try
How I try
Let's turn it around
Let's start again
For all this time we've been going nowhere
No burn it all down
Down to the ground
Till all the screams are finally silenced
But how can we move on with our lives
If we can't fcace our own reflections
And how do we learn from past mistakes
If we repeat this endless cycle
We're going nowhere
Nowhere fast
Eyes are blurry from all of these preconceived misperceptions
Hands are shaking, so bloodied bruised and broken from
Tearing at the walls
Pounding at the walls we've built ourselves
Brick by salt stained brick
We're going nowhere
Nowhere fast

How to Demonize Oneself
04:03
|

Over and over I spin it around in my head
Endlessly I kick the dog although I am sure it is dead
Back myself againgst the wall to see what I could find (inside me)
Eventually I'll find a way to turn back the hands of time
Am I demonizing
Am I pacifying
Splitting the differance between half truths and lies (she said to me)
How many tears can be shed before you run dry
Digging this grave the dirst stings and coats my eyes
Endlessly searching for a treasure to claim as mine
But if this is the way that it's supposed to be
Then why don't these voices all agree
Am I demonizing
Am I pacifying
Sure seems that way
Let's just call it what it is
Beaten but not beaten down
Broken but not broken down
Smiling even though I'm grieving
I can't see yet I'm still leaving
And although these scars keep bleeding
And I can't sleep
I'm still dreaming
I still dream of those eyes
Blinded by all the lights
Is this me that I'll find
I hope so

We've been here for so long
We've forgot we had nothing at all
Morals twist and shape
In accordance
With tiny trembling hands
Am I searching for a god in their eyes
Or a meaning that makes each breath more than just a passing of time
Tunnel vision
Air is thin here
Overhead the sirens are wailing
Not a child born would falter
In tearing this whole world apart
Am I searching for a god in their eyes
Or a meaning that makes each breath more than just a passing of time
Time is always on my side
Still is this the only
A way to die
Learn to dance from the supposed dead and breathless
Learn to dance from the supposed dead and breathless
Learn to dance from the supposed dead and breathless
This opression is all that we have
This opression is all that we have
