Medications
03:00
|

You had it
As if it were magic
A broken habit
Its like your prayers were coming true
But somewhere
From the shadows
It calls your name
And then comes crashing down on you
We've got much better ways to go
We still have so much more to know
And if you close your eyes, it won't just go away
These medications help a bit
Blend the days, make you forget
That there is nothing left for you to do
I have nothing else to do but side with the enemy
Nothing else to do but give away my rights
I have nothing left to see but a mindless trained society
That's staring blankly back at me
Through material disguise
Run!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Run!
Hey! Hey! Hey!

I've Been Waiting
03:05
|

Ive been waiting my whole life, to lay my eyes on you
ive been waiting this whole fucking night, just to see you
the other day i came across a box, full of memories
pictures of you and me laughing, smiling, having fun
I still cant believe its all gone by so fast
but not to worry, these seams were sewn to last
Ive been waiting my whole life, just to be with you
ive been waiting this whole fucking night, to sing this song for you
i dont know what to do (what to do)
i think i love you
What to do (what to do)
I lose my words when i think of u
1 2 3
Looking at it now i can see so clearly...what it means
having someone to lean on
means more than anything
given the chance to start again, i think i just might repeat
repeat the whole thing
After living my whole life
I hope to die with you.

My Optimistic Love Song
03:08
|
|||
Your eyes
Like open books
Reading me their pages through all their looks
And your heart
Like aging wine
Growing dearer and dearer to me through time
These could be the best years of our lives
Its up to us to make things work out right
Alright!
This road
With its twists and turns
Forgotten scenery
Bridges to burn
And this world
It makes me scream
With its crooked politics
and mouths to feed
You make me forget about it all
You make me so proud to stand up tall
Stand up tall and sing that...
We belong together
Like this town and perfect weather
Like a pack of matches, a can of kerosene.
You can tell your darkest secrets

Generation To Be
03:22
|
|||
the end is coming
the end is near
pull your heads out of your ass
open your eyes and ears
we're living our lives a repeat
of the past
reality is not just a show
one day you'll find out
how little you know
and true reality
cannot be portrayed
its a joke played on the dumb
the longer the exposure
the more your numb
to the messages
look, live, think like this
Theres a promise to livin your life
experience true feelings
and live your life for you
we're smarter then the fucking animals
we've become today
they herd us together
they push us through the gates
to slaughter our rights, our liberties
its happening to you not me
next generation tube kids
there's little or no hope
they'll grow up without feeling
not knowing how to cope
its the new American way
believing what you see
and doing all they say
you'll see one day

Walk Away
02:38
|
|||
There are good times and better
And things that last forever in this world
So many things end too abrupt and quick.
But the feelings, they linger
So u point your middle finger in the air
And curse the GOD who gave this punishment
I've become desensitized
To the violence and the lies
All the bullshit that i see on my TV.
Sometimes i wish that i could just walk away.
So walk away.
Times are getting tougher
More and more, have to suffer
From these crooks who define
What it is to be human
All our leaders are liars
So raise your fists higher and
Don;t give in to all the things
That keep you down.
I've become desensitized
To the violence and the lies
All the bullshit that i see on my TV.
Sometimes i wish that i could just walk away.
So walk away.
Wake up early, drive to work
Put in your hours
Gonna go be a jerk
Tired faces, lonely minds
No imagination all the fucking time

Prove Me Wrong
02:14
|
|||
Why can't you sleep at night?
How can you look me in the eyes
and tell me you're alright,
when you're dying inside?
Nothing seems to feel the same.
The problem's running through your veins
and straight into your heart.
So prove me wrong.
Shine your light
on everything
that deserves to feel alive.
And take my hand,
but don't look back
because the future's all we have.
I still can't help but try.
Don't ever wanna say goodbye
to the idea of
having u in my life.
I can see what's underneath it all.
Do u like what you've become?
So prove me wrong.
Shine your light
on everything
that deserves to feel alive.
And take my hand,
but don't look back
because the future's all we have.
Prove me wrong, prove me wrong.
Prove me wrong, prove me wrong.
Prove me wrong, prove me wrong.
Cause i won't ever let you go.
I want you to know.
So prove me wrong, prove me wrong.
Prove me wrong, prove me wrong.
So prove me wrong.

Change
02:30
|
|||
Is this life really what you wanted
Trapped in an endless routine
So detached from all of your surroundings
Believe me its not what I dreamed
I must have dropped the ball a while ago
Only to notice a little too late
This song is my confession that
Shit may never change
I cant imagine a day without you
An empty pillow in an emptier room
I wish that I could tell you
Things will be different soon
But I am just afraid to say that
Its so far from true
So tell me..
All those thoughts inside your head
Whether they're good or bad
Even if you want me dead
I will try to make a change
Try to make it right
You are where you need to be
Just don't give up the fight
We all go through times of ups and downs
Your dreams mean nothing until they're truly found
Lost, stagnant, pounding up against ur skull
Its truly getting old, oh yes its fucking getting old

The Lies
02:14
|
|||
Money's the new atom bomb
To which we live in fear without
Conquering and taking over
Is what America's all about
They're injecting your minds
With crooked propaganda
Full of lies, lies, lies
Lying signed in blood
Our people are brainwashed
Every single day
The media monster's talking
And your listening to what they say
9 to 5, home, dinner, bed
Stop to think, repeat it again
9 to 5, home, dinner, bed
Being yourself is a fucking sin
Bombs dropped off for all the wrong reasons
Who knows? Maybe it is just Obama's killing season
They're not brainwashing our troops?
Is the government telling the truth?
I don't think so....
It's just a bunch of shit!
Open up your fucking eyes
Its time to see through their shroud of lies
Our countries arrogance is leading to our demise
Corruption and politics are one in the same
If you look in our history books
Our forefathers are to blame.

Head And Heart
02:23
|
|||
From the day we're born
An empty canvas waiting to be torn
An open heart to surgically explore
And inject your propaganda
To lead us blindly to obedience
A working class
Trying to get by, want to advance
Would lie and cheat and steal just for the chance
To say that they have made
Something of themselves
Won't get a look inside
Head and heart are sealed
Theres no need to even try (Something of themselves)
Til the day i die
i promise u that i will always try
to live my life with dignity and pride
and say that i have been
honest to myself
Won't get a look inside
Head and heart are sealed
Theres no need to even try (Honest to myself)
Im not ready to omit myself to a world full of assholes
Im not ready to omit myself to a world full of assholes
oh no!
Won't get a look inside
Head and heart are sealed
Theres no need to even try
Wont get a look inside because my head and heart are sealed
Wont get a look inside because my head and heart are sealed
Wont get a look inside because my head and heart are sealed
Theres no need to even try

Another Passer By
03:19
|
|||
Motivation is a word
I Hardly can apply
To my life, to my world
Its just another passer by
All these things to do
But there is never enough time
Sometimes all i can do is wonder fucking why.
The thought of changing anything diminishes at the thought
Not bothering to remember my dreams is a nail right through my foot
Stuck again, here i am, right back at the start
The only means of moving is a change of heart
Why cant i get it together
Am i stagnant as a pond?
There's never a real reason
To go ahead and move on
Is the lie i lke to tell myself
Every single day
when will i ever learn from my
God damn mistakes?
The thought of changing anything diminishes at the thought
Not bothering to remember my dreams is a nail right through my foot
Stuck again, here i am, right back at the start
The only means of moving is a change of...
Heart
Heart
Sometimes i feel i'm moving backwards
Never down the right path
I love to learn the hard way
Only to feel its wrath
If i started down the road
I'd take about one fucking step
Before i stop to realize
I'm back here again

Until I Die
03:52
|
|||
Before you go
I want to ask you do something for me
I want you to promise when you get back
That we can see
If our fire could once again ignite
You and I were never meant to fight
Friends until then, I will send you my love
Im always here
Until i die
And now i know
Not every little thing is up to me
So many things are truly out of my hands
Just let them be
And shit get at it and enjoy the ride
Find the ones in which u can confide
Friends until then, i will send you my love
Im always here
Until i die
Until I die
