Twin cities and double standards
A land of lakes and fatal mistakes
When will the city ever wake up?
Wake up!
Let's take it from the top
We’ve seen enough it's time to make it stop
Be the ones to finally
End this bleeding
Can't keep sleeping
Cuz the killers come at night
And there’s no room for mistakes
In this twisted little game
With lives at stake
We’ll plant a flag ready to die on this hill
Shatter my bones. You can not break my will
Welcome to the age of insurrection
It’s high time the old world’s
Called to question
If there’s no lesson learned
If the one and only goal
Was to keep us in control
Your heads will roll
We’ll plant a flag ready to die on this hill
Shatter my bones. You can not break my will
Your silence only serves to fan this flame
To say their names
Say their names

Walk Away

What would it take to make you walk away?
To set your anger down? Don’t carry the weight.
What would it take to make you walk away?
Try and play it cool, real cool, boy
You got yourself caught up in all that noise
Forgotten who's your friend or foe
You just can’t let this go…
I wanna know
What would it take to make you walk away?
To set your anger down? Don’t carry the weight.
What would it take to make you walk away?
What would it take to make you walk away?
Settle up your score some way somehow
Without spilling blood on the ground
Don’t bow down to your lowest instincts
Don’t act without thinking
Look at what you’ve become
Look at what you’ve become
Walk away
Just walk away
What would it take to make you walk away?

Whispering

Face down with eyes wide open
Mind racing.
Trembling.
Choking.
Far too focused on all these bad omens
Late nights spent laying awake
Scratching the skin till it breaks
No way to shake the whispering voices
There has to be healthier ways to break through
But all i know is breaking down…
Solitude. Self abusive.
Claustrophobic. Reclusive.
Embrace the pain
Let panic take over…

Hits Harder

I think its gonna be a little tougher this time around
The rug was pulled from underneath me
Now you’re kicking me while I’m down
Till i get it through my head
That change is the only constant left
I think it’s gonna be a little tougher this time
A little tougher this time
But i could try
Try and push it to the back of my mind
Convince myself that i am doing just fine
All the while knowing nothing has ever hit me harder
This is how its meant to be
That’s just something that i say
To feel any sort of relief
Looking down at the mess i’ve made
I'm really not sure how i got through this before
Your final words play on repeat
"Please don’t go too far"
"Don’t go too far"
But i could try
Try and push it to the back of my mind
Convince myself that i am doing just fine
All the while knowing nothing has ever hit me harder
No nothing hits me as hard as disappointed eyes
Sinking feeling it seems is always on the rise
Wake me up when this all is finally over
I’ll try to keep my composure
But I could...
I could...
I could try
But i could try
Try and push it to the back of my mind
Convince myself that i am doing just fine
All the while knowing life came back swinging this time
But i could try
Try and push it to the back of my mind
Convince myself that i am doing just fine
All the while knowing nothing has ever hit me harder
Nothing hits harder
It hits me. Hits me. Hits me.

I’m pretty sure i’ll never reach the promised land
If such a place is more than just a dream
I’ve cheated and I’ve cursed I've broken hearts and broke my word
Heaven sure as hell ain’t meant for me
I'm pretty sure I'll never see the bright lights
Won’t be that shining star of stage and screen
Million dollar plans but i was born with beggars hands
The lap of luxury is not meant for me
Cuz i'm pretty sure my luck ran out at 24
On second thought i’d have to say 19
Discarded and dismayed, I'm dizzy circling the drain
Is there no greater meaning meant for me?
Well I’m pretty sure we’re gonna drink the bar dry
And you can bet the next round is on me
The end is drawing near but as long as i'm still here…
Then here with you is where i'm meant to be
Here with you is where i'm meant to be
