Time clock - counts down
Seismic friction - plates shift Quakes shake - history books Cause effect - Earth slips Burnt lips - hot coals Can't swallow - wolf impostor (Melted down!) The people Have spoken Our verdict Was stolen Relinquish Self-made throne Human spirit - flash poison Chip toys dumb box - fools talk Oil dynasty - decision maker Our lives - chess pieces Grease pumping - green smog Step ladder - Royal family (broken backs!) Eye for an eye leaves us blind Flag across the eyes Leaves us blind 200 year struggle - wrote off in the night Not going down without a fight We've had enough of your corporation's Back-room deals The Enrons The wars The scams And the lies This is our voice, can you feel our anger? It's at the boiling point This is our voice |

Take the whispers of a bright shade
One again they fall on deaf ears running Why don't you run away and hide? Wooden dressers and coat hangers The essence of a memory Like the face you remember on a dirty cracked mirror Screaming at the answers I already know Just when you see it It's all said and done And I try and I try Take the whispers of a bright shade Screaming answers I already know Pages stacking on a cornerstone A duty cries out for my hearts attention Why do I run away, hide? Newspapers and cold glances Climbing up the ladder free Screamed the kiss of death in that infinite second Now i'm picking up the peices once again When it's left in flames And you've had enough I'll be dreaming Of the tears Left back in the dust You've got it stuck in your head I may fall but I'll never curse your name I may fall but I'll never place the blame I got it stuck in my head I can't let it go Seems like a million miles away from my heart |

I'm burning
Heart beats fast I'm not afraid to love her anymore We both had wounds wide open Inside I cried out for her Feel it burning faster And I can't read your mind She's burning the world this time I wonder what you tell him about me When you've lived in hell your whole life Heaven's just to be understood I'm burning my dreams this time I'm not ashamed to love you anymore Cards laid down And I found myself and I discovered it's forever It's forever this is the last time What goes up must come down And I've seen some changes When I fall I hope that you're there to catch me 'Cause when I'm alone Wait and I've seen the worst |

Your word and your important will mean half as much when we learn
That this moment has no end Means everything when we learn that our paths been dark And our souls have been the lost in the illusion of our separation And you can see it in our eyes Our thirsting for redemption because our vision has run dry And it's so beautiful what we've become Unchained to ourselves we fly to the sun I claim my second engine, Our minds have been crossed and our pain reveals the cost 'till now Trapped in the illusion of separation And we've been screaming all our lives Our plans are never ending because we cling to what we've been taught Your word and your important will Mean half as much when we learn this moment has no end Means everything, it means nothing Our hearts suffer, our hearts have been crushed This is our life, this is what we've been taught It's never felt so good to be alive right now The essence of this moment, it will never be bound |

The medicine that numbed my soul lost its power
A fantasy of serenity crumbles in my hands Another layer has been stripped away, Exposing a child made with fear and rage I need to be the one that's not afraid to call me out, Show compassion, break me down I will survive, we will survive As the roads grow longer I see the elements of my distractions dissolve Vampire's melt away when they're exposed to suns light IV has been taken out which gives way to the irritants of reality But I know somewhere in that place lies serenity To my friends goes my gratitude, in the end we will survive Love conquers all, in the end we will survive |

There was never anything that was made defective or out of place
When I drew upon the well to drink compassion, I drew lies No hell will burn your flesh this time, no lie will be unturned Love started it all, and what you are is beautiful Everything you've been taught, it had to be taught Because it wouldn't come naturally Always trying to improve, perfect, and rearrange What is perfect, this revolution was made in pain Wake up, defection is what they had in mind Wake up, it starts right here This revolution was forever filled with pain And we exploded from a thousand points of light |

Now's the time, you see the water, you're there
I see the tide come in, breaking the lesser man Pretty baby has to be alone, when you're lost your heart is all alone Why do we suffer? Why do we live like you? So much hatred on your inside, a crutch, a needle, suicide Hey, I'd like to see you. I'd like to see you on your best day From zero you can go away, just like a ghost from an unmarked grave Why do we suffer? Why do we live like you? Why should we be sorry? Over again, the harder to swim, the harder to breathe. Why do we suffer? Over again, wherever you went, you knew you weren't safe How long can you hide, separate your heart from your mind? Who will you turn to, when your very heart abandons you? Listen up to the rhetoric you speak You can't believe it's just another way that you get high Swimming for the shore, you're already there, can't you see? |

Your ticket has been bought, welcome to the human race
Thought you'd escape, I never tried to own it These are the cards you're dealt, no different than anyone else No one's gonna' take it away, you gotta' walk right through it Stand strong, until your heart stops It's breaking will tearing apart, but no one's gonna' take it away You gotta' walk right through it Never more than you can bear, Embrace with every cell, walk right through it If you feel like you're gonna' fall apart, Let me hold you together, never let yourself forget Inside is the deepest ocean, I'll walk this path until my dying day I'll walk right through until they put me in my grave |

Calling from the rooftop
I'm singing your name All that's been blown apart Has been washed away When you were out there fighting Going up against the tide Want you to know That it still matters to me You made your vibrations Without a gun in your hand To a world that's adding darkness A night devoid of stars Descending spiral begets the very thing that It seeks to destroy You can kill a liar but you can never kill the lie I reject your solutions I reject your violence And through our resolve You will see your injustice And through our persistence You will be called to conscious I reject your solutions I reject your violence And we're not afraid If you make us bleed Every drop of our blood Will say "I love you I forgive you I love you I defy you" |

You took a risk by leaving yourself open for the punch
Hold on tight The feelings have been guarded all your life, sometimes I feel the same way Hold on tight Watch your castles made from sand wash away, washed out for generations The feelings have been guarded all your life, sometimes I feel the same way Washed out for generations, but no one can take your light away Take me back to where you stood at your window, before you had fallen It shows what's sublime still remains, Sometimes our mirrors get clouded, so your vision in time will remain Sometimes trust slips right on through your hands Listen send the message I'm fine Still dreaming, still yearning We don't need a key, we'll bust them down Sometimes trust slips right on through your hands Listen, no one's buying I'm fine |

Late summer, early in the fall
August nine three, changed forever the things I see Your failing crutch was my saving grace I'll never get to see your face Early march, seven one Can't prepare you for things we'd go through Changes that follow us from birth to death, can't take you away from me Like our first cigarette lifted and red hot Burned so fast, like the time we've lost, Lonely staring stares facing present scars Can you hear me? Feel the love I have for you? Changes that follow us from birth to death, can't take you away from me Sorrow in your passing, take it till I fall down Wear it on my sleeve Rise, and take the pain |
