Numb

Nothing is perfect.
I'm finally finding out we all have this struggle. I'm so sick of failing and tired of falling. I've made a mess of my life. Every day is something else I've done something wrong to you. Why do I want you? Why do I need this? When everything I am is numb.
Oh God it hurts, but how can this be? When I can't feel anything.
I'm watching the leaves fall without you. This wasn't my idea of happiness. I only wanted the best for you, and that wasn't me.

Never Back Down

I'm sick of playing games. I'm sick of giving in. Don't wanna be another trend. I'm sick of all your hate. I'm sick of all these lies. Is this the world that I live in?
One by one you follow suit. That's not the life I lead. I won't make an excuse, I'm not afraid to be me, and yet you call me a fake.
Open your eyes. Open your mind.
You can never change me. I will never back down. I will stand for truth, and I'll stand for what's right. Dead or alive. I will never follow.
And you call yourself a leader.

The Dead
04:01

We are all dead.
Is what you're living for in this world worth dying for? Eye for an eye, tooth for tooth, whatever happened to telling the truth.
Tossing. Turning. Searching for the proof.
You can never lose sight of a God you've never truly searched for.
We have made a misconception.
Small minds make small thoughts.
Who can know the mind of their creator? Understanding is an understatement.
You will never fully know. Who can know the mind of their creator?
Wake me up from the death in where I sleep. I've fallen into the dark, I'm in way too deep. Can you still hear me calling? Misguided from truth, we walk around like sheep, repeating history. Open my eyes from this mystery.
We are not all skin and bones. Are we all just here alone?
We've created our own god.
We are dead.
We are the dead.

Metamorphose
03:30
|
|||
|
We the people. We hide behind our screens, pretending to save the scene. When will we ever grow? A perfect union is still so far from home. We are hatred. We are the hated. Justice, stability, what is reality? We've made a mockery of our own kind.
Abuse
Judgement
Intolerance
Racist
Bigot
Hypocrite
How can we be the same when you disgrace our name?
All of humanity embraces cruelty. To fellow mankind, don't leave this world behind in total filth.
One nation, under one facade. When will we choose to stand up? Face to face with reality, we've believed we could never be the enemy. We are the enemy.
Opinion has replaced the facts. We've learned to pick and choose, we've turned our backs, and all you ever breed is hate.
No more hatred. No longer living in filth. Elitist minds and bitter hearts, there'll be no excuse when we all self destruct.

Sorrow and Weep

One voice. Do you hear me screaming? Unheard. I stand and wait for you. Hear me. Hear my voice. A fire inside. A love so deep. Suffocating in isolation. I want out. Watch me bleed. I die a slow and painful death called life. One chance to live, I make it count. I make it out alive.
If I can't write a song that will change the world
I'll scream out these words so at least I'll be heard.
No one listens.

Heart of a Man
03:42

Do you know a man who lives for the sake of his son's life? Not looking to give to his own life, but longs to be good to his own wife.
Do you know a man who lives and he loves for his family? And isn't afraid of the enemy, but lives a life so full of empathy. Do you know a man?
Father, you're farther, you're far away from me.
Father, you fought her, every single night. And every single day, there's just one thing I pray. Father, your father, will you be here to stay? Father, your father, when did we fall astray?
What is the heart of a man? I've grown so tired of asking myself. How can I be the man I'm supposed to be without the one I need to help me see.
And even if you don't believe in me, I finally learned to believe in myself.
I can't seem to get these thoughts out of my head, that everything I touch and everything I put my hands to falls apart. Nearing 22 years, and I still can't make ends meet. Though we can't really see eye to eye, and I'm not living out the plans some may have for me, I've come to know that no matter what I do, or what I say, I will always love you. And my dreams, though different, can't ever keep me from being good enough.
No joy, and no heart. Night after night I'd tear myself apart. I want to be the man that I was made to be. Even if my hopes and my dreams aren't exactly what you see.
Nothing can separate you from my love. Nothing can tear us apart. Man after my own heart.

CA-99

Day in and day out it's all just the same. One day we're close and the next I have no name. I've been lost in the struggle, the pain to make it through. Clear mind, the difference between me and you. Trend after trend wondering when it's gonna end. I've learned that living alone always beats a fake friend. At the end of the road, we all see the light, finding out it doesn't matter who's wrong or who's right.
It doesn't matter, why fight?
Eventually all your friends will fade to this clouding sin
Someday you'll be too tired to even drink the poison
I won't end up like you, I'm not stuck in a grave
I'll be the one to say "at least I wasn't afraid, at least I was brave"
I made it through this myself. Substance free, that's the difference between you and me. Substance Free.
In this world, pain is only a catalyst for success. Perseverance, to be the person you were made to be will bring you so much joy. Be strong, be free. Everything you've worked for is just one more step, one more broken heart, one more day of pain away. This is our conviction, our way of living, this is our life. This is what keeps us standing.
