The Last 02:12
When the world comes falling down And crumbles around us We don’t have anywhere to go Don’t. You. Forget. When the buildings start to crumble And ash rains from the sky Our society will eat itself alive Destruction Corruption Run for your life Kill or be killed Only the strong willed Will be ones who survive When our god no longer listens And we’re left hung out to dry Acid rain falls down from the sky When the air is filled with poison And there is no where left to hide Radiation cooks us from inside Destruction Corruption Run for your life Kill or be killed Only the strong willed Will be ones who survive There is no hope, only sorrow We can only hold on for tomorrow Destruction Corruption Run for your life Time is fleeting, lost all meaning We’ve lost all sense of being Kill or be killed Only the strong willed Are the ones who will come out of this alive

Bleeding Out 02:34
Just do what I tell you to No concern for anybody else it seems I don’t get a say at all Not sure who you think you are Not convincing anybody else at all So don’t push your ideals on me Run though and slam the bedroom door I just can’t take it anymore What are you trying to say? That you know me better than myself inside And should follow your every whim Listen what your words convey That I should just blindly follow this path you made and then forced it all on me When will you understand That I don’t want a part in your so-called master plan, I can do this on my own When will you finally see That this can lead to a major falling out unless you just let me figure it out. Let me be All alone I can do this on my own Release the hold And all control And leave the living up to me

Standing at the alter He bows his head to pray Where is God in all of this? And, has he lost his way? Looking for a signal He stares up at the cross For a blank breath in time His heart and mind are lost A ray of hope? A beacon of light? A reminder of who he is inside When all hope is lost And God seems to have gone What’s lost can still be found in time Every Sunday feels like A broken record now He misconstrues the meaning With his sense of doubt He seeks out an answer To mend his broken heart His efforts feel so fleeting But at least this is a start Believe in me because I believe in you He screams out asking for the truth What’s lost can still be found in time This thought was weighting on his mind He hears a call from deep inside A sudden clarity of mind He now has found the inner truth That this love inside him is the proof

Ring Leader 03:13
She hides her face behind her hair Trying to hide the awkward stares Far too often no one cares She wishes someone could be there She takes a breath, she walks away, slowly goes to turns away, and leaves behind all the shaded clouds of grey She shakes her head, she closed her eyes, takes a deeper look inside, And thinks about what her future will look like Hoping it gets better before too long But her life a circus rages on Behind the glass he stares inside Visualizing a normal life He’s tired of living in despair Wishing that anyone would care He won’t give up, he won’t give in, convinced someday that he will win, and that he’ll finally be on top of everything He will not lose, he gets to choose, it’s up him to make a move, and change the way he will manage his whole life (It all seems easier before the dawn) Hoping it gets better before to long But his life a circus rages on It all seems easier before the dawn But their life a circus rages on It all seems easier before the dawn But life a circus rages on Misery loves company A place they no longer want to be They don’t believe in destiny Fate is something only found in stories They want to be, happily Loved by someone who cares sincerely Necessity bring clarity While the whole time the circus rages on

Uninvited 03:03
Always outside Not looking in He’s never been cut from the same cloth as them Won’t stand in line Or be one of the hive He just wants to choose how he wants to live He never quite felt like he wanted to follow the herd, to follow blindly is simply absurd He’s proud to be Uninvited He’s out here alone Walking on his own Never to follow the status quo Beaten and bruised He refuses to lose He opts for a different path as most would choose Unconvinced by the hum The group voice sold as one He walks to the beat of a different drum Standing each time In charge of his life He vows to take every day in stride He never quite felt like he wanted to follow the herd, he’s simply unconvinced by their words He’s proud to be Uninvited Swimming upstream Against the grain He doesn’t quite care for notoriety or fame Just wants to be Careless and free With nobody telling him who he should be.

War's End 02:30
He gets the call again They’re sending him back to the place that’s been haunting his dreams since he’s been home He hugs his wife and kids Picks up his bag and turns around one more time as this may be the last chance he gets. Back on the battle field He commands his troops to flank the enemy’s side but he’s led them into a trap The enemy will not yield His troops are getting cut down one by one as their hope seems to suddenly fade. Chorus She said come back to me just one more time He said I’ll do my best girl I’ll try (I know you did your best now goodbye) His side now screams in pain When his hand returns to his face he sees that it’s covered fully in his own blood A single tear drop falls As he thinks about his family in these last moments as he fades into the night Bridge I may not come out of this alive Please know I did my best, I tried I made the ultimate sacrifice Wars don’t end they just alter lives

Everything was going fine until it crossed my mind again, and I’m falling to pieces now Stuck on the outside believing all your lies that I wasn’t as good as you pretend to be Who’s to say that I’m not justified for feeling the way that I feel deep inside No longer will I compromise myself to fit your design, so I’ll Break free from the lies you tell me Break free from your lies I will no longer hide from who I am inside again and I’m ready to let it out Hands no longer tied believing all your lies that I wasn’t as good as you pretend to be And all your made up rules I will defy so I can rely on myself to decide No longer will I compromise myself to fit your design, so I’ll

Battle 01:36
We fight anyone who thinks they can put us down We’ll take the battle to the sea, the sky, or even underground We Stan against the ones that think they rule us all We have them backed against the wall Our enemies will fall Our enemies will fall Just watch them fall (Watch them crumble Start to stumble Topple over As we watch them fall) We stand behind those who cannot defend themselves We will crush anyone who thinks it fun to pick on someone else We fight against the ones who try to control us all We have them backed against the wall Our enemies will fall

Verse 1 You open your eyes and are instantly blinded by smoke and ash in the air You let out a scream but you can’t hear a thing as your eyes dart around in despair The sirens ring out as you cover your mouth and you close your eyes to pray Fear paralyzes, your mind scrutinizes as you realize your fate Chorus Because you never thought that you would be alone When you reached your end The last thing you hear is a gentle goodbye As it passes your lips Your eyes shut tight, you calm your mind, this time you find it’s easier to say one final word, goodbye Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye Verse 2 The windows smashed out and your fear starts to mount as you realize you can’t feel a thing All you can see is a chaotic scene as your ears start to suddenly ring Metal is twisted, your body constricted as they try to find you now Your mind started racing and hope started fading as cries are heard all around Outro One last goodbye now don’t start to cry when you think of me tonight Keep me in your heart and don’t you start thinking about being apart Know that each day that I’m not far away And I’ll always be here to stay Keep me in your mind and soon you will find the last thing you hear is a simple word goodbye

Lost 04:00
Grab the wheel and pump the breaks You’re making all the same mistakes And everyone can see it’s not going to end well When your vices take a hold And you start to lose control And you can’t stop until it’s black out and farewell You’re losing all control again Chorus Where have you gone? You’re lost and falling faster What’s said is done Break free from this disaster Verse 2 When you’re blinded by your vice You simply lose your sight of life And in this state you can’t listen to reason Slowly isolate yourself Never getting any help And pull away from everyone that cares for you You’re losing all control again. Bridge And here we stand with out stretched hands, you know we’re all right here for you When will you find, leave it behind, and find the strength to break through You know you’re strong You must now prove it to yourself You still belong You must now finally face it Before it’s wasted Please don’t waste it

Torn Apart 03:20
It seems like only yesterday, you and I were over at your place we were laughing over shots and beers, like we had done so many countless years But then one day I got a call, which brought my world slowly to a halt. I sat there numb as I heard the news, and I prayed that this couldn’t be true. You’re not coming home This life walked alone You’re gone now Scream my lungs out It feels so hard now just to breath You’re gone now Tear my heart out You were just everything to me It’s so surreal standing at your grave, you were just to young to see this fate. A single tear rolls down my face as I hope you are in a better place. Every once in a while now, I swear I still feel you somehow, and that part of you is here with me, and it’s felt in every breath I breath. It feels so hard It feels just so hard to here breath
13.
This is The last time That you get to look me in the eye and say it’s OK because I can’t take your drama anymore I think you knew it’d end this way, today, OK, whatever I just want you to go away, OK, goodbye forever You tried To find A way to keep me hanging on inside but now I see that you were here and slowly killing me Just go and leave forever, Ok, whatever, goodbye forever
14.
I'm sorry you were dragged down by the self pity Caused by the shit they said that didn't mean a thing You're whole life is held in the palm of your hands and You wonder why, you can't see it at all You felt like a marionette As your heart screamed in frustration As you tried to become what you're not What you're not Remember the whispers from the voices that comforted you as you sat and cried You're beauty is lost to their hypocrisy But not those who loved you
15.
Wake up and see the lies They push upon us every day of our lives This corruption and deception makes me sick We must not compromise When they stand in front of us and try to rationalize Why the rules imposed on us don’t apply to them When will you finally hear the truth That they are playing us for fools They try to silence the rising voice Attempt to stifle our free choice Attack democracy Chip away our liberties Rise up and take your freedom back We’ll tear this whole thing down And burn it to the ground When will you join me here Stop living your life in trumped-up fear The current state of affairs should scare us all When will you understand That we have simply let this get out of hand There is only one way for us to make this right
