Dying of Old Age 03:23
lyrics
buy track
Each day I pray That the only thing I have to fear Is dying of old age I’ve never seen a god But if anybody has Tell ‘em that things are bad And I hope that he or she can set it straight Where did our heroes go? Haven’t seen one in a while Were they ever really there Let’s make a change And let the cowards die away Lead by example You must be the change Some of us crash and others burn Are the flames the only way that we learn? Nobody said it would be easy Don’t believe anyone that says it can’t be done There are those that love But still too many with hate Don’t let ‘em steal your soul Steal your soul away Everyone’s got a light inside Turn yours on today

Rise Up 04:17
lyrics

There you go again you put the Bait on a hook and then you pull it away Leave us, reaching for air Trembling glassy eyed in shame Who made you king and captor? We never agreed to this This isn’t the life you promised Born leader or hypocrite Where does your loyalty lie? Or do you lie for loyalty? This is a condemnation No longer complacent See the forest for the trees Break out of our ignorant bliss We don’t need your help Consider this a bridge that has been burned Cuz we can build it better by ourselves Consider this a new breath of fresh air Get out of our way There you go again believing All of your own lies behind a disguise Too afraid to face your fears So you deceive us As you fall so shall we rise This is an invitation Rise up, never quit Saw the forest and burned the trees Stoke the fire while flame is lit Rise up

Pooring Reign 03:52
lyrics

You ran out your door Into the pouring rain The moment that I saw you I could not feel the pain Your face was the sun Shining through the clouds We held on to each other For what seemed like hours You said that you needed me “Yes, I know” was my reply I could have told you that Way before we said goodbye Don’t you know that I, think about you Every single day About the time we found love That just won’t go away So I shoved your sunglasses To back of the drawer Cuz I couldn’t bear to have them Stare at me anymore But that isn’t why I came here tonight (I’ll pretend that it’s over) No I don’t want to start a fight (And pray to God that it’s not) Let me stay until the morning light (You are all that I wanted) I’ll make it worth your while (And all that I am not) It’d be worth mine just to see you smile (Doesn’t matter what he can do) Yeah I’d walk a million miles (What would he do for you) Just to see you smile

Better While Lacking 03:14
lyrics

I think I liked you more than I can admit But you ripped out my heart, and stepped on it I did everything that, I could do But I guess all I did wasn’t, good enough for you Now I can see that I wasn’t slacking Found out the hard way you’re Better while lacking You’re just a big fish In a pond of one We played a game for two but I think you won I spent way too much time, thinkin’ of you I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t sleep, nothin’ I could do Now I sit and wonder, ‘Bout all that I went through I realize it wasn’t worth it, just to be with you You, you could’ve had it all But now you’re all, now you’re all alone No and it’s not, no it’s not my fault I don’t need you, I don’t need you anymore Oh no I don’t, I don’t, need you, anymore I don’t need you, I don’t need you I don’t need you, anymore

Into the Eyes 02:46
lyrics
buy track
If you look into the eyes Of all the ones you despise I bet you’ll see their souls Take your time Where’s your heart Were you blind? From start Or did you lose your way? Why don’t you value your life? Why do you cause others strife? Isn’t there something you need? That won’t keep fueling your greed When you look into the eyes Of your reflection inside Can you even see your soul? What makes you Hate so much? Do you have life Without love It’s not too late to Turn it around Every time you hide, behind your faith I see a weakness I see a fake Fighting a war, you’ll never win Fight for a cause That’s out of date If you need someone to fight I’ll put my fists up tonight Nothing about you is right So let’s see what you got

Consciousness 04:16
lyrics
buy track
Another dress, another tie Covered in blood, can you tell me why? We see hate, guns & knives, where we work Another son, another life Someone’s daughter, gone before her time Why do we see, death and violence, where we learn? No regard, for human life You know I see it, every time I drive We become more arrogant and careless, by the day The only thing we stand to gain From a life consumed by hate Is a body in a grave Or your own misguided fate No one said that life was fair But only you can make it change We are on this earth to grow So it’s time we act our age Another row, another grave Another life that, could’ve been saved If only we could put our egos away Another place, another war Can you tell me what’s worth killing for? If only we could put our hate to rest If we’re all wrong, then who is right? Can we put our differences is aside I think you’ll see, that all we want is to survive Yeah it’s time we act our age Our age, our age
