Always

all the trials we faced
the times we shared
never thought that we would wind up here
and i know now
without a doubt
we'll reach new heights
we'll rise above
we'll see the sights
and not walk away
with our tails between our legs
But still our struggles made us strong
gave us a sense of where we belong
and when things turn to shit
we'll get right over it
no we're never gonna quit
cause our music is fucking lit
don't ever try to change us
cause we'll spit in the faces that tried to faze us
perhaps adversity was the key
to help till the soil and plant the seed
of our dreams
or so it seems
the end to the means
but we won't flee
anymore
Always, (always)
We rise and fall
and through it all
We thrive
we won't bow to their creed,
or bend at the knee,
we just want us to be free
Always (always)
we'll turn the page
we'll twist our fate
and soar,
every nation we reach,
the crowds will all scream for,
bodies under siege,
The past three years we've come so far,
our time unraveled, comes apart
but that's not who we are
music is our fresh start
we play what's in our hearts
not abuse, too late
though the road unwinds
i'm sure we'll find a better way
Though good times end and moments fade
we still refuse to dissipate
though our minds are frayed
we won't be dismayed
we'll spread our wings to say
that we're not their slaves
and when things fall apart
we'll come back together to mend it all
The future looms, the sun will set.
our storied past we can't forget
but now they'll hear our cries
our hope you can't deny
like the phoenix we rise
to set fire to the skies
again
Always, (always)
We rise and fall
and through it all
We thrive
we won't bow to their creed,
or bend at the knee,
we just want us to be free
Always (always)
we'll turn the page
we'll twist our fate
and soar,
every nation we reach,
the crowds will all scream for,
bodies under siege,

Your time is all gone, it's wasted,
I caught on through memories you faked and,
Collided through false hope created,
By your words that I thought were sacred,
Tick tock, your heart starts to wander,
I get the feeling that we're going under,
If only I could count the distance,
I now begin to feel your resistance.
You've fallen again,
You're not getting up,
You stagger in pain,
The spotlight is on,
The girl and the gun,
Have merged into one,
And our, time is up,
You've fallen again,
You're not getting up,
You stagger in pain,
The spot light is on,
The girl and the gun,
Have merged into one,
And our, time is up,
I see you have started retreating,
An end to our new beginning,
Different feelings surprise my being,
You have awaken a new feeling,
Find your victim walking the streets at night,
Your hearts dried up and ice filled,
Everything that I would've thought was right,
Is all gone but only hatred and kill
You've fallen again,
You're not getting up,
You stagger in pain,
The spotlight is on,
The girl and the gun,
Have merged into one,
And our, time is up,
(Ending)
It's all gone,
Whatever we had,
It's all on the news,
The victim was you,
And I can't believe,
I've fallen for your lies,
A mix up of words and the culprit was you.

The time it takes to heal the wounds,
Red coloured lips your scars are sewn,
You look in the mirror and collapsed from all the tragedy,
Suffering again,
Foul mouthed post traumatic friends,
Who are nothing without you,
This promise is so true,
Living in the shadows doesn't make the pain go away,
Put away the knife tonight,
The sins the blade your arms are tied,
Stop the pain take back your life,
Seize the day and own the night
Now that you start to gasp for air,
You gotta break from these thoughts that they don't care,
and listen to reason that,
That you've waste your life away to another day,
Lingering thoughts of what your life could've been,
Put em away my friend,
Your life's worth more than you seem to forget,
Put away the knife tonight,
The sins the blade your arms are tied,
Stop the pain take back your life,
Now that you've found just who you are,
Time to let go of all those painful scars,
With no more bleeding, there is only room for strength,
Put away the knife tonight,
The sins the blade your arms are tied,
Stop the pain take back your life,
Seize the day and own the night

Separation by Degrees
02:36
|

|
You slowly slip into my subconscious,
The promises we made,
I fear the path that lies beyond us,
A future doomed to fade,
I see the suffering the tragedy, and it's killing me,
Feels like I've been away for far too long, this time,
Whatcha say seems to separate my heart your hands the memories,
The last leaf falls in the end the words were written for all to see,
A shadow of our hearts remain burnt to ashes by deceit,
Only the truth will make you real as the ground beneath your feet,
With wounded knees on winding roads,
The world's betrayed us,
My once soft heart now turned to stone,
Contagious,
The whispers in your eyes say it's not to late, that we have to try,
One second there and now you're gone,
This time,
Whatcha say seems to separate my heart your hands the memories,
The last leaf falls in the end the words were written for all to see,
A shadow of our hearts remain burnt to ashes by deceit,
Only the truth will make you real as the ground beneath your feet,
Go!

Wreckless

Why are we so wreckless in our ways,
When we all have one foot in the grave,
We all have regrets, leaving us dismayed,
We gotta stand for something and make it through this day,
I walk among this travesty,
Upon this calling of the earth,
And I cannot take, the end,
I wished away the sins I made,
To remedy this last crusade,
The love we shared the lives we slain,
A promise made from blood that stained,
Falling into a place that I call a home,
That I don't own,
Is it possible to feel so alone,
and cold as stone,
Feeling I'm losing time,
And I don't mind,
No I don't mind,
Starting new and fleeing the crime,
Again,
I walk among this travesty,
Upon this calling of the earth,
And I cannot take, the end,
I wished away the sins I made,
To remedy this last crusade,
The love we shared the lives we slain,
A promise made from blood that stained
And it feels like home,

Leaving Home
04:10

(Verse 1)
In this world, I'm alone,
Painting pictures of my own home,
Wondering when and how the pages turned,
Didn't think that I'd lose a turn,
I guess it's just my luck,
I never had at all,
Filled my mind with bullshit stories, woah,
No that's never gonna change,
I coexist reality with memories and fallacy,
So mark the calendar and count the days that I've returned,
Cause I'm sure by mid December I'll have lost all I've had to earn,
So let it burn,
(Chorus)
I'm not opposed to fading away,
I'm on the next stop going,
Scream, "well I will follow your misery"
Well you can hop on stowing away,
Don't look back running,
See, I'm not to blame as you fall and lose your sanity,
Has slowly slipped away
(Verse 2 )
Deep inside my state of mind,
A fool whose goals are cast aside,
They watch as I begin again,
To fall back to the shadows den,
I guess,
It never mattered much to me to crawl,
With one eye open, I'll take this rope and,
Find a way,
To leave the past behind,
To try to live is a fight to fail,
I've made my peace, said my farewell,
To the old me that I've left behind,
This road is not a path defined for me,
but I know now without a doubt that
(Chorus 2)
I'm not opposed to fading away,
I'm on the next stop going,
Scream, "well I will follow your misery"
Well you can hop on stowing away,
Don't look back running,
See, I'm not to blame as you fall and lose your sanity,
Has slowly slipped away
(Break)
(Ending)
Will my reasons to live be the reason I die,
Am I only to suffer while I'm losing my mind,
You'll see a pitch broken man,
Yes I'm leaving this home, yes I'm leaving behind,
Everything that I loved, everything that was mine,
Don't you see, I'm only human
My sanity, Has slipped away!

(Verse)
I can see through your facade,
Ever growing pain I know,
But for now it will be fine,
Take my hand,
In times things will unfold,
You will know where you stand,
Within your own heart,
Secrets will reveal themselves,
Soon, you will understand,
(Chorus)
Deep inside,
A torn tattered soul resides,
Within this darkness,
I walk alone,
Hoping for brighter days,
No more dark skies,
No more faded stars,
No more cursed lies,
(Verse 2)
You need to find the words,
That define who you are,
What makes you smile and tick,
Help you when you are sick,
What has gotten you this far,
I know the remedy,
To all of your scars,
It's called a family filled with friends,
We are the cures to your heart,
(Chorus)
But Deep inside,
A torn tattered soul resides,
Within this darkness,
You've walked alone,
Hoping for brighter days,
No more dark skies,
No more faded stars,
No more cursed lies,
Don't let this become a part of you,
Your Breathing in, while bleeding out,
It's just a memory,
What you've lost you will regain,
Not a shard of you will be,
Left alone in derivative,
