Intro/Right and Wrong

Here’s to another couple years we lost while we were counting up the cost, and I don’t know if it is worth it anymore. Every time they try to deny the facts, as if they had better tacts. Why don’t we try to stop this bigotry?
Most times they get their way. We needed change yesterday. Cast doubts to the wayside. I swear I won’t abide. I wish we knew what to do.
I wish there was a cause to these effects that pushed us far past the test. Come on, haven’t we payed our own dues? I’m tired of wasting time when they were spreading lies. Chances are things will change long after I’m gone.
They lead by their belief. All I ask for is relief. Intentions far from known. As they still condone. Every night I want what’s right.
Taking back what was ours.
Who decides right and wrong?
For a brief moment, I found myself in clarity where I realized that was nothing saving us, there was no redemption, and there was no way out. Right and wrong is a two way street, but it would be foolish to think that things could ever be so black and white, but I guess that was just our naivety coming to the forefront and washing away any aspirations.

Break into this new existence. Where the walls don’t close
on me. Find the path of least resistance. This is our reality.
Chances are hard to come by, but now it’s time to concede. Is this but the final hour? I am done with greed.
Taking lessons from my failures. Don’t let yourself settle down. Take the time to burn all my past; leave nothing left.
Realizing my potential. Discarding disgracefulness. Trading bad habits for good to look competent.
Look towards the future with faith. Embrace all that life can give. Single out your weaknesses. And make them your strengths.
Taking lessons from my failures. Don’t let yourself settle down. Take the time to burn all my past; leave nothing left.
If I were to begin anew how would I try to prevent my history from repeating that I tried to forget?
Never will my will be broken. Never will I ever give in. I’ve fought too long to die now.
Taking lessons from my failures. Don’t let yourself settle down. Take the time to burn all my past; leave nothing left.
Leave nothing left.

Unlikely Story

These words can’t explain the things I’ve seen as this reckoning begins. You don’t understand the pain I’m in, like there’s time to dwell on this. All I know is that I can’t escape from mortal state of mind. Let the tension rise to a boiling point. So, this is how it burns.
Tell the messenger this time. Leave it all behind. This could be the end to let it go.
Your unlikely story like I told you before is all right. Like some indication that the look on your face gives away everything that goes on. Tell me before you go.
Between these lines of lies sits the truth of what’s inevitable. In the end it will reveal itself, absolutely nothing left. No point in trying to keep it from coming out to change what I’ve become. Soon it will consume all I am, but this is how it burns.
As I’m stuck in this bind. Put my life upon the line. This could be the last time to let it go.
Your unlikely story like I told you before is all right. Like some indication that the look on your face gives away everything that goes on. Tell me before you go.
How could we just let this burn?
Kill the messenger this time. Leave it all behind. This could be the end.
Your unlikely story like I told you before is all right. Like some indication that the look on your face gives away everything that goes on. Tell me before you go.
Tell me before you go.

React

All trust and admiration tossed to the side. A calamity of voices respond in due time. Rejected by the loyalist of followers who see through the lies that were covered by money and greed.
The hatred was felt. The venom was poured. If there is nothing left, just release the horde.
To decide what the fate of this country is now.
If there is a future, it will be found
Over time we will rise.
Over time.
We tried to believe in a time when wealth didn’t rule us. I thought there were some things left sacred. React to the souls crying out to stop the corruption. Find a way to recover from blatant temptation.
Point out the absurdities that plagued us before. We gained any hindsight that we could ignore. Fighting back to save what was thrown to the ground. All of the respect gone without a sound.
Never did we think that it would ever come to this. Giving up on a system we could not resist. A faculty with the intentions of starting a war will be brought to its knees and say no more.
Over time we will rise.
Over time.
We tried to believe in a time when wealth didn’t rule us. I thought there were some things left sacred. React to the souls crying out to stop the corruption. Find a way to recover from blatant temptation.

Iris Field

Glowing white, illuminating fingers reach out to absorb the life spreading through the earth.
As we forge a path, our haven is revealed. Atone for the sins, a new era begins.
All these years have passed fortified by nature. We shall keep it sealed, this iris field.
Leading on, forgetting all that was lost and now it’s clear in sight (in spite of what we do), and ready for the taking to gain new hope.
As we forge a path, our haven is revealed. Atone for the sins, a new era begins.
All these years have passed fortified by nature. We shall keep it sealed, this iris field.

Living life free of worry. Everything seems to fall into place. Nothing ever happens ‘round here. Don’t care that I’m not home.
When I go back the time was right. Nostalgic feelings of instant fright of not being able to see the best of what I had way back when.
Everyone’s gone or just lost. Changing tides came and washed them away. Going forward kills me inside. But i’ll take it day by day.
As i begin to get accustomed to this new style of existing, I can’t shake these thoughts that ache me; that there is something missing. (Something missing).
When I go back the time was right. Nostalgic feelings of instant fright of not being able to see the best of what I had way back when.
Here’s to better days back when we could see through the lies that kept us in blissful ignorance throughout most of the time.
Here’s to better days back when we tried to get past all of these spurious claims of who we are.
Living life free of worry. Everything seems to fall into place. Nothing ever happens ‘round here. Don’t care that I’m not home.
(Everything seems to fall in place).
When I go back the time was right. Nostalgic feelings of instant fright of not being able to see the best of what I had way back when.
Here’s to better days back when we thought something new would come around every corner that we saw with awe in our eyes.
Here’s to better days back when we still held some form of curious perspective about the life we were forced into on Emerson’s Avenue.

Dual Form

Blank in the face of this scum. Loss of all restraint, broken down. Tear apart the status quo. Rip the flesh from its vacant bone.
In your last breath I’ll be reborn. Left to fend by myself. I don’t mind so inclined too redefined to make it out of this okay.
Every chance I get to go away, I take to another extreme, but the time isn’t right to make this traverse.
Life for life and it’s taken everything to just find the strength to cast away my wants and desires to be free from.
Free from the grip of this shell. Erase the past and form a new way. I won’t give in to its call. It’s time to lay waste to the land.
Screams fill the air to split the sky. Run from what you fear the most. Done by day, let me say, I won’t obey (I won't obey) any regulations.
Every chance I get to go away, I take to another extreme, but the time isn’t right to make this traverse.
Life for life and it’s taken everything to just find the strength to cast away my wants and desires to be free from.
Sealing a fate that was never known to us while we try to, try to get with the program, the structure, all time lackluster way we got by on our own.
A capsized conflict of what we used to indulge with at that time and place where memories may lie through progress and shifting perspective.

Face Your Reality
04:28

Wearing a false body to fight against the world that embodies everything I hate. I will lead the way to the future for these lost souls.
As they celebrate my demise I will finally realize that it is never too late to seal one’s own fate.
So like we’ve seen with tragedy it all comes down to self-esteem as we go a little further and further everyday.
I know it’s time to face the truth, release the past, give up the youth I’ve stored in my heart for far too long.
Left behind by the walking shells of men fighting to retain who I am, but nothing ever was the same. Time to take this moment and live on.
When the world goes and passes by I’m standing still by no surprise of who I have become; less than no one.
So like we’ve seen with tragedy it all comes down to self-esteem as we go a little further and further everyday.
I know it’s time to face the truth, release the past, give up the youth I’ve stored in my heart for far too long.
Letting my own pride suck out the air of this existence stuck in my head. Left with shame meant only to tear away a sense of dignity.
Selling out my own demons to find a sense of opportunity left in mind
to fulfill what I once had thought (was my path before).
Simulated past times to see what’s surrounding the space ‘round me at the end credits to find out what’s left to talk about.
So like we’ve seen with tragedy it all comes down to self-esteem as we go a little further and further everyday.
I know it’s time to face the truth, release the past, give up the youth I’ve stored in my heart for far too long.
Face your reality.
Face your reality.
One punch!

Soulful Surrender
07:00

Held in my hands a dying light, but nothing is there. None of this can be real. Knowing it will all go away, tomorrow I laugh and move on.
Seething with rage, reaching the point where I might burst. With all eyes staring at the scene I may try to create. Trying to contain any sanity.
(All through the tired nights).
Deny all that has happened to me.
Filled with wrath at the world that I see.
Bargain with my soul.
Surrender to the void.
Taking time to accept what brings new life.
Finding myself pleading for a rewind to take back what I lost. "This chapter is far from over" is what I wish I could say.
No words spoken for what seems like forever. A sinking feeling upon me at the thought of what I once had.
(Thrown straight into the fray).
Deny all that has happened to me.
Filled with wrath at the world that I see.
Bargain with my soul.
Surrender to the void.
Taking time to accept what brings new life.
Deny all that has happened to me.
Filled with wrath at the world that I see.
Dusk to dusk. Edge to edge.
I will reach there till the end.
When I can finally accept this.
