Running out of time
03:14
|

The answer's hidden never seen
I found it in a bottle it was staring back at me
Lining up another faded dream
watching it decline because nothing is what it seems
when will it end can't comprehend
all of the things we try to mend
we try to fight and make it right
landing on the other side
I cant remember when it got to far out of reach
but you and me
are running out of time
one more promise one more lie
both living for the needle
that has left us dead inside
pleading for the detox that we need
the writing on the wall is not the painting that is seen
when will it end can't comprehend
all of the things we try to mend
we try to fight and make it right
landing on the other side
I cant remember when it got to far out of reach
but you and me
are running out of time

Daemons
03:13
|

Look in the mirror to see what I'm Fighting and
I can't tell the score
the thoughts and the fear it seems I've been hiding
as I succumb once more
I know all my anger and all my sorrow
is crushing all my dreams
the test that I'm failing the people I'm blaming
circle back to me
I need to get rid of all of these daemons
trapped inside my head(trapped inside your head)
Their pointing and laughing kicking and screaming
I'm better off dead(you're better off dead)
I need to get rid of all of these daemons
I cannot break free(you will not break free)
I'm lost and I'm tired beat up and broken
not much left of me(not much left to see)
No holding back on the false hope pretending
that I'm all ok
I wish I could give you a really good reason
Why I feel this way
Stuck with myself and no one else
the message that i read
crowded by friends that keep on pretending
that their there for me
And
I need to get rid of all of these daemons
trapped inside my head(trapped inside your head)
Their pointing and laughing kicking and screaming
I'm better off dead(you're better off dead)
I need to get rid of all of these daemons
I cannot break free(you will not break free)
I'm lost and I'm tired beat up and broken
there's not much left of me to try and be
anything but lost at sea or my own enemy
losing count of all those things I've left behind
running out of reasons why I cannot be free
I am losing to these daemons inside of me
I need to get rid of all of these daemons
trapped inside my head(trapped inside your head)
Their pointing and laughing kicking and screaming
I'm better off dead(you're better off dead)
I need to get rid of all of these daemons
I cannot break free(you will not break free)
I'm lost and I'm tired beat up and broken
not much left of me
Breaking free before they can break me

Welcome to the cool kids club
did you read the sign
you have to be this punk rock to ride this fucking ride
hey there where you going kid and what's your worthy cause
the new punk rock thing to do is point out all your flaws
the elitist attitude means nothing gonna change
the times have change and the scene just needs to rearrange
jusdging how you dress and what you listen to
because thinking for yourself is just strickly Taboo
what you see is what you get
with a mild crooked smile I'm and name the you'd forget
we're not cool enough for you
you can never pay your due wearing somebody else's shoes
so find your path and always be yourself
you must follow all those things they say
and never question anything they do
and if there is a problem they'll sweep it all away
but stand up for yourself and they'll have nothing left to say
what you see is what you get
with a mild crooked smile I'm and name the you'd forget
we're not cool enough for you
just be careful what you do
cause there's a side you'll have to choose
they don't care about anything that you have got to lose
the CKC is closing in and always judging you
what you see is what you get
with a mild crooked smile I'm and name the you'd forget
we're not cool enough for you
you can never pay your due wearing somebody else's shoes

Frolic in darkness
01:00
|

Running in circles
dancing in line
telling everybody that you're doing just fine
not really sure about how it all will end
just sit back and relax for a heel of a ride
nothing to talk about but everything to say
the frequecy is triggered but it rides a different wave
silence is golden you're just trying to reach out
ready to show everybody what you're all about
Frolic in darkness / grasping for light
hoping for something / just out of sight
guessing the moves from the cracks in the floor
follow the path still hoping for more
nothing to talk about but everything to say
the frequecy is triggered but it rides a different wave
silence is golden you're just trying to reach out
ready to show everybody what you're all about
Frolic in darkness / grasping for light
hoping for something / just out of sight
guessing the moves from the cracks in the floor
follow the path still hoping for more

I used to think that things were exactly the way there were suppose to be
I used to to think another life was way to good for me
I look back on all that time wasted away
I used to think that there was nothing left for me to ever see
Time has come for me and I am so far away from home
So far away that you will never see
Let's not pretend that things will have a better tone
I have said all of the things I have to say
I m better off this way
I seen a ghost of all those things that you were suppose to be
Let's make a toast to the guide that you never were to me
I won't apologize for me drifting away
Let's all look back at the life that never ever was for me
Time has come for me and I am so far away from home
So far away that you will never see
Let's not pretend that things will have a better tone
I have said all of the things I have to say
I m better off this way
So cold so numb
Let's all turn up the fun
Let's talk about the ways I am your enemy
Things that you've shown and all you took away
Talk all you want and believe all your plays
So cold so numb
Is what you made of me
I'll keep moving on to be the best that I can be
Take your excuses and you can throw them all away
You can stop anytime because I don't feel anything
my time has come(My time has come)
So far away(So far away)
Let's not pretend that things will have a better tone
I have said all of the things I have to say
I m better off this way

Empty advice
02:44
|
|||
I see that you're looking at your broken life
And time is flying by so fast
Everyday seems to fade away
And you're asking yourself how long can this last
Yeah yeah yeah it all seems the same and
No no no it don't have to stay that way
Your mind won't allow you to ever be on the same page
All your disappointment leaves you flat foot on the ground
Waiting for somebody else to announce that you are found
come out swinging if your backs against the wall
there's so many people that want to watch you fall
sometimes you're right sometimes you're wrong
just stand your ground and write your own song
All this time that you've been spending stuck in your comfort zone
Your empty advice casts more shadows
As you keep preaching about the things you don't know
And no no no you don't have to take no more
Yeah yeah yeah you can raise up your score
Stand on your own and live a life that's yours
Holding your resentments that are driving you insane
Letting go not moving on can't seem to turn the page
come out swinging if your backs against the wall
there's so many people that want to watch you fall
sometimes you're right sometimes you're wrong
just stand your ground and write your own song
Everything can change
Stop pointing the blame
All those that you take for granted
Trying to push you out to do better things
You're still disillusioned that nothing will ever change
how can you live your life when you're stuck in the same Lane your lane it's all the fucking same
come out swinging if your backs against the wall
there's so many people that want to watch you fall
sometimes you're right sometimes you're wrong
just stand your ground and write your own song
come out swinging if your backs against the wall
there's so many people that want to watch you fall
sometimes you're right sometimes you're wrong
just stand your ground and write your own song

Open your eyes and hopefully you'll see
all the covers up for accountability
all the excuses they repeat the same
and there's always someone to blame
the solutions that can be seen for a mile
the response is so loud and clear
while tradgity and disasters taken it's toll
you can sit on your ass and send a prayer
you see
the problem with our society
is that no one really cares
your action speaks louder than your words
so please save you thoughts and your prayers
I don't care what you choose to believe
your faith is yours and yours alone to keep
but wasting your breath on more worthless words
that says everyone please look at me
you see
the problem with our society
is that no one really cares
your action speaks louder than your words
so please save you thoughts and your prayers
it seems that when somebody loses everything they hold dear
you pop up and say those words so everyone else can hear
look at me! look at me!
so try as you might to do the right thing
those empty words you say don't have the same ring
not to discredit your thought or intent
but the effort put forth says go get bent
you see
the problem with our society
is that no one really cares
your action speaks louder than your words
so please save you thoughts and your prayers
please save your thoughts and prayers for me
and show me that you care to see
something way more promising
so please save your thoughts
just save your thoughts and your prayers

Woke up today thinking here we go again
the hardest thing you'll do today is get out of bed
up on your feet walking out the door
hard times and crooked lines are coming back for more
how many time will look down all these roads until you go(Time to rise up)
and how many will keep trying to decide until you know(Time to wise up)
do as your told just rinse and repeat
you're spinning in your chair just wait for defeat
nothing worth having is ever handed out for free
so why are you just waiting for the answers that you seek
Standing at the edge and you're still trying to decide if you should go(time to rise up)
time is moving on and you're afraid of all those things that you don't know (time to wise up)
time to show the world what you got
Take what you need and throw the rest away
Time to show the world what your not
take the first steps it starts with today
time to show the world and prove to yourself
that you're ready for a change form this unfreezing hell
time to show the world that you're ready for this run
and sacrifice yourself ..... for who you will become
(time to rise you) stop looking back at the life that could have been
(time to wise up) stop drinking poison's from the voices in your head
time to show the world what you got
Take what you need and throw the rest away
Time to show the world what your not
take the first steps it starts with today
time to show the world and prove to yourself
that you're ready for a change form this unfreezing hell
time to show the world that you're ready for this run
and sacrifice yourself ..... for who you will become

Sing with me
03:17

There's something left of us
until they reach the last of us
there is still something burning
that is deep inside our hearts
pushing back at what is wrong
we're passing unity through a song
I think it's time to sound the gong
the ship is due to part
All aboard all aboard
this broken sinking ship
this ship that's heading straight to hell
there'll always be a fee
but together we are free
so grab a drink and sing along with me
invite to one and all
side by side we'll win or fall
we're signing songs of freedom at the top of our lungs
they'll try and keep us down
left divided and spun around
sing it loud and screaming proud
we always will be found
All aboard all aboard
this broken sinking ship
this ship that's heading straight to hell
there'll always be a fee
but together we are free
so grab a drink and sing along with me
just sing with me...
scream out loud and sing with me (all aboard all aboard)
stand together and sing together
salvation through unity
their plan's will break and
become unfurled so
let's go out an unfuck the world
All aboard all aboard
this broken sinking ship
this ship that's heading straight to hell
there'll always be a fee
but together we are free
so grab a drink and sing along with me

Change the frequency
02:37
|
|||
There is no way out from the doubt that consumes you
The poisons in your mind will very fear inside a head-on confrontation from your own mental state
seems to be the only way you leave it all behind
You have to change the frequency you have to change your mind
overcome the challenges killing you inside
Living everyday like you're running out of time
You have to change the frequency you have to change your mind
That static buildup has you dwelling in the past
And you're treading on the water with the legs that never last
Holding on to grudges not accounting for yourself
you forgot about the baggage that you left for someone else
You have to change the frequency you have to change your mind
overcome the challenges killing you inside
Living everyday like you're running out of time
You have to change the frequency have to change your mind
Right your mind and light your path
Reaching out of shadows cast
Live your life the best you can
Find your strength and will to stand
No looking back at the days that I've gone
There's so much to see if you keep moving on
you've done what you've done let the past be the past
Focus on the future because it's coming up fast
Clean your broken glass
Pick up what you can and
Walk away from the time that you have spent
You need to move on with no expense
It's okay to think about yourself and
Go be exactly what you want to be
If you want something else you got to do something else
you have to free your mind and be yourself
To change the way you live you have to change the way you think
in-turn you have to change the frequency
You have to change the frequency you have to change your mind
overcome the challenges killing you inside
Living everyday like you're running out of time
You have to change the frequency have to change your mind
Right your mind and light your path
Reaching out of shadows cast
Live your life the best you can
Find your strength and will to stand

Spy vs Spy

There was a time when we stood side by side
it was never ever you against me
but now that times have changed
and our lives are not the same
was it such a tragedy
As I'm flashing back to all the broken pieces that we've found
every time we set the table back up we must be tied and bound
Are we friends or enemies
half of what we're supposed to be
addicted to the games we play
the prizes won pushed us away
moving on this time without you
I can't read your ever changing story
I won't watch you spin it all around
these games are becoming old and boring
Time to move onto new ground
do you ever stop and think your way's just not the way
or do you ever think about the fire not the flame
remembering the time that you layed it on the line with the garbage we believed
I will never again be a friendship casualty
Are we friends or enemies
half of what we're supposed to be
addicted to the games we play
the prizes won pushed us away
I'm sorry but you cannot stay
your dahli clock melted away
things are very different now
and your bed has been made
moving on this time without you
I can't read your ever changing story
I won't watch you spin it all around
these games are becoming old and boring
I won't lift you off the ground

My resignation
03:15
|
|||
To a family that supported me by laughing in my face
To the ones that did abandon me do a dark, cold and empty space
my loss, their gain and a big smile across their face
failures that have grounded me a kept me in my place
This ones for the memories of being left behind
calling out the times we spent together in my mind
The visions of a family I made up in my thoughts
Sitting all alone I am the one that you forgot
Nothing you can say could make this right
Nothing your could do to right my mind
Everything you say is a waste of time
Cause it all means nothing
Hey there it's me again I hope this letter finds you well
This will be the last time that you hear from me.
There is no more resentment for you dragging me through hell
No more games left to play and nothing left to sell
this one's for the guilt I felt for everything I've done
the stories that were twisted when you were out there on the run
that time that walked passed me and never gave a thought
this is my last goodbye from the one that you forgot
Nothing you can say could make this right
Nothing your could do to right my mind
Everything you say is a waste of time
Cause it all means nothing
please accept this resignation spoken so sincere
the best thing you can do for me is let me disappear
the memories that have haunted me no matter where I'm at
my threshold has been broken and I'm never looking back
Nothing you can say could make this right
Nothing your could do to right my mind
Everything you say is a waste of time
Cause it all means nothing
