1.) REVOLT
Can you tell me, why this doesn’t add up?
I can’t live like this if it does

It’s one thing to be told about the past wrongs
But to see the blood
You’re the one
That needs to make sure

It gets told right

The king is great and deserves royalty
But the way the warriors act really holds the key
There’s no revolution without revolt

People are filling into the city streets
They are fighting
For what they call freedom

Buildings in flames as the children are screaming
Canine’s tear flesh as the king is dreaming
People thrown against gates as they’re praying
But the people’s hope is not fading

The king is great and deserves royalty
But the way the warriors act really holds the key
There’s no revolution without revolt

The ones who fight are the bad ones
But are the things they did really all that wrong?
And the violence gives us hope
There’s no revolution without revolt



2.) OBSTACLES
We’re all in and so were you
Our brotherhood was certainly strong
But when you’re not around
We’re all missing something

This is not what we had planned and no one knows what the future holds
I thought you were going to be part of it, but now I’m not so sure

So we hear the same old thing again
But we’re not waiting for you now
It’s sad but that’s the way it is
When you repeatedly say you’re sorry
We know you’re sorry

You got one foot in the door but we’re about to slam it shut
You better take it out before you bleed all over your pretty clothes

What we had
Was so good for us
It’s so sad
We couldn’t do more before you gave up

(It’s so sad, We couldn’t do more before you gave up)

This is not what we had planned and no one knows what the future holds
I thought you were going to be part of it, but now I’m not so sure

So we hear the same old thing again
But we’re not waiting for you now
It’s sad but that’s the way it is
When you repeatedly say you’re sorry
We know you’re sorry

I won’t let this ever bring me down
This is a part of us till we’re all in the ground

This is not what we had planned
And no one knows what the future holds
I thought you were going to be part of it
But now I’m not so sure

So we hear the same old thing again
But we’re not waiting for you now
It’s sad but that’s the way it is
When you repeatedly say you’re sorry

We know you’re sorry.



3.) UNDER CONTROL
It looks like this is a new path for us
And I’ll miss you every day
That we’re not together

You say it won’t take much
And you’re okay with it
It’s going to be like starting over
Something new and fresh

But I’m afraid the city lights will distract you
And time will wear us down
And I’m afraid that I will need you
While I’m stuck in this town

It will work out is what you say to me
You’re under control; will I stay the same way?

And I’m trying
But when you’re not around
I’m dying trying to figure it out
And I’m left here torn

So now when I go out
And slip away a bit
You know I’ll be thinking about you
No matter where I am

Now I’m missing your beautiful laughter
As we hung with our friends,
It seems like such a disaster
And you’re still okay with it.

It will work out is what you say to me
You’re under control; will I stay the same way?

And I’m trying
but when you’re not around
I’m dying trying to figure it out
And I’m left here torn

(I’m trying to see this through)

I’m trying to see this trough for us,
Because there’s so much promise in us

It will work out is what you say to me
You’re under control; will I stay the same way?

And I’m trying
But when you’re not around
I’m dying trying to figure it out
And I’m left here torn



4.) BACK TO SLEEP
I’m on the edge of this moment
Sifting through the potential of this fire that we had
And it keeps growing
But it will burn out.

I have this notion that there’s more to this
I won’t live a lie and just sit here with it
Because it seems this thing you want, is this happy ending
But I’m afraid that it may just only bore me

Make me wake up from this dreaming
I’m not like this with anybody
Calibrate me to your heart’s speed
Lead me to where I can just be free
Show me something that I’ve not seen
Show me the world through your beauty
Then just leave me here to wonder
Just put me back to sleep so I can dream

I have this notion that there’s more to this
I won’t live a lie and just sit here with it
Because it seems this thing you want, is this happy ending
But I’m afraid that it may just only bore me

Put me back to sleep (I said)

And now I’m left here in this moment
Looking for something to stoke this fire

I have this notion that there’s more to this
I won’t live a lie and just sit here with it
Because it seems this thing you want, is this happy ending
But I’m afraid that it may just bore me


5.) NO SHAME
There’s no holding back
And with a smile on my face
The breaking point has passed
And the night holds chaos

Just look at me now
Eyes wide with a clinched fist
As people surround
And they’re all for violence
And I know you’re proud
But I’m gonna take you down a notch
As I feel crowd and my face feels the first hit

You threw the first hit, you better be ready for this

I’m another you
And you’re another me
But if you’re going to disrespect
Then there’s no holding back

If you’ve got something to prove
Then the streets are where we’re at
You’re going to end up on the ground
With your face covered in blood

You know I’m down
And since you asked for it
Now I’m allowed
To make you wish you hadn’t

This ain’t my style
And there’s no need for this
But since you’re down
We’ll handle this like gentlemen

I’m gonna put you in your place
And for that I have no shame

I’m another you
And you’re another me
But if you’re going to disrespect
Then there’s no holding back

If you’ve got something to prove
Then the streets are where we’re at
You’re going to end up on the ground
With your face covered in blood

Forget it son
I warned you but I’m done
I’m going to make you wish
That you were dead



6.) RESISTANCE
An awkward flinch of the face reporting nonsense
And now another war over resources
So there’s call for a change a new zeitgeist
And the policies change so you’ll think twice

Another waking moment I will not waste.
Another waking moment without resistance

Changing colors up, creating static
So channels change dissolving progress
Hiding all of the flames but not masking black smoke
Now what’s said when it’s once again brought up

So I won’t waste time standing by
Because the guillotine can’t away this idea

Another turn of the bend, switching off the eyes
Taking comfort in consumer demise
Making news laws to take the trash out
But the way the patriots act is what their all about

Another waking moment I will not waste
Another waking moment without resistance

When the shots are heard it creates new bliss,
for the corporations and their wallets
So take a step back from this illusion
Then maybe you’ll see the actions that we chose

So I won’t waste time standing by
Because the guillotine can’t away this idea

When the shots are heard it creates new bliss
And they’re making new laws up to take the trash out
But the way the patriots act is what they’re about
Another waking moment I will not waste, without…



7.) #OVERIT
You jump at the idea
when I’m around
You’re going out of your way
to see me out

I’m trying my own thing
it doesn’t involve you around
And it makes you crazy
don’t know what to do now

And so you say, I’m making a mistake.

So why am I still running through your head?
I’m over you, get over me
The feelings that you have for me are better off dead
I’m over you, get over me

You’re losing sleep and losing ground
When I say; “You bring me down”
And it’s getting harder to convince you now
And it makes me crazy when you’re still around

But you still say I’m making a mistake

So why am I still running through your head?
I’m over you, get over me
The feelings that you have for me are better off dead
I’m over you, get over me

So why are you still running through my head?
I’m over you, get over me
The memories that I have of you are better off dead.
I’m over you, get over me
