I refuse to sit back and watch the days go by Content with doing nothing, hands held by my side Now's the time to rise up and truly make a change We can make a difference can you say the same Look back in the end I can say we tried We chose a different path And kept the dreams alive The strength of my conviction Will never fade away Who knows about tomorrow At least we had today Will we really change, the shape of things to come Will we reach our goals when all is said and done I can't safely say what happens in the end But I'm strong in my belief I'm doing all I can Look back in the end I can say we tried We chose a different path And kept the dreams alive The strength of my conviction Will never fade away Who knows about tomorrow At least we had today... today Looking back at all we've done We haven't changed a thing But still we try so hard to bring about a change Maybe it's all for nothing Maybe we'll never win What I feel is just too strong, strong for giving in It's times like this I'm proud, to say I've done my part These days live on forever, I'll keep them in my heart In my heart

Foundation
Looking back in retrospect Would you have done it all the same All the ground you've broken, was it all in vain Your legacy came to an end, cut short before it's time Who will carry on the torch, That you have left behind Every time I hear your words I remember why I'm here Foundation that supported you, was crumbling to dust Tall and proud you stood determined, never giving up Hard work and dedication, helped to pave the way To let you know you're not forgotten, It's our turn to repay Every time I hear your words I remember why I'm here Standing up, not giving in You gave me reason to believe That just one voice on it's own Could help to make a change Standing up, not giving in A reason to believe That just one voice on it's own Had to make a change

Day By Day
I would always learn, I was never taught Fucked it up again, that's just my luck Always try to do, by myself Cause in the end, there's no one else Always try to do what I think is right Try to grab tomorrow Make it to the light In my heart I know, what I have to do Try and grab tomorrow Just try and make it through I would always learn, I was never taught Fucked it up again, that's just my luck Don't let the wrong choice, get in the way Always try to see Another day Stand, stand on my own You won't help mt, so I'll go it alone Day after day, as I find out the truth More and more just what I have to do Stand, stand on my own You won't help me, so I'll go it alone Day after day, as I find out the truth More and more I know what I have to do

Direction Of Things To Come
Now is the time for the kids to take a stand For what is right in our lives It's up to you and me To make a change, move forward We won't be left behind This is our life, our time It's time we set things right No excuses this time For what's been said and done Take control of your life Just stand your ground What will they say When we take up the fight No more mistakes It's up to you and I To ignore the labels, stpe out side the lies I know together, together we'll set things right No excuses this time For what's been said and done Take control of your life Just stand your ground You and me we can stand up Go against the grain This is our life and this is our time It's time we made a change You and me we can stand up Have a say This is our life and this is our time It's time we made a change

Blueprint
It may take some time to live up to all the things I said I told you I'd be on your side, no matter what you did Never thought that things would change, Just always stay the same Now we made a different choice, You choose to go away So many ways so many times I know it's all been said Don't look back and feel regret Over the choice you had to make So much left for us to do, so try to understand The hardest choice you ever made, Was even harder to accept So now you made your bed And I guess that's where you'll lie I'll do my best to help you out and never question why So many ways so many times I know it's all been said Don't look back and feel regret Over the choice you had to make We had so much, so much ahead of us But I know you made a choice And though it's hard for me to see you moving on You have your life to live It's not for me to say what's right, or what's wrong And though it's hard for me to see you break away We'll keep moving on

Furthest From The Middle
Hold me down, force me further and further away Make me focus, all of my strength on bringing this down This power structure, this symbol of hate and deceit Lies based on lies nothing more, it's all I've ever known From day one taught to exist, for selfish gain, For selfish reasons I have to find a way To escape the spiral system That pulls us down To destroy all that I was told was real I have to find a way Furthest from the middle Push me back when I take my first step to the light Ignore the questions that I have, just to keep me blind Blind from the truth that you lied, you always lied But now I'll rise to take control from you Your time is through And now the darkness starts to clear I have to find a way To escape the spiral system That pulls us down To destroy all that I was told was real I have to find a way Furthest from the middle Deception, the easiest way to keep me from asking why Kept on my knees for so long, hands tied behind my back Covered by the safety of remaining ignorant but something made me, you made me You made me, you made me take these steps away You made me, you made me, you made me take These steps away from you

Where Did We Go Wrong?
Is there something more to this than slogans on a shirt Following the trend with that X drawn on your hand Trapped by your actions I've seen it so many times The past keeps repeating as we run out of time Where did we go wrong Are you blindly following the doctrine of others Without ever knowing what's right for yourself Living your life by outdated standards We can't change the world until we change ourselves Where did we go wrong Where did we go fucking wrong I tried to forget what happened in the past I try to walk away, but it keeps coming back Have we come so close to breaking down these walls Did we build this up, just to watch it fall I tried to forget what happened in the past I try to walk away, but it keeps coming back Have we come so close to breaking down these walls Do you care at all

Revolution's End
Every word you said Meant so much to me Not afraid to speak your mind Or go against the crowd I heard all the things you said Not a gang opinion Just what you believed Sometimes words spoke loudest And actions fall short I heard all the things you said Words, speak louder than actions with no thought You, you made the difference What you said came from the heart Every word you said Meant so much to me

Tomorrow's Shadow
Time flies by, day to day I start to question decisions made I see old friends don't understand What lies ahead already planned Apprehensive insecurity Torn between two realities Stuck in a rut 9 to 5 Scared to death if I'll survive Can I continue to chase my dreams Or will it catch up to me Problems I don't want to face To disappear without a trace Is there a way for us to see What lies ahead, where we will be Is there a way for us to know Do we have a choice, do we have control Feel the heat it's on back Concerned of what it is I lack Pressure mounts it's at my heels Sometimes I think this can't be real Will I let this drag me down Am I the only one around Unable to figure for myself Which cards to keep from which I'm dealt Do I stay or should I fold This game we play is getting old There comes a time for letting go Of all the truths you think you know I want to do what's right for me But sometimes it's so hard to see Which path to take, which bond to break I can't forget my own mistakes I won't accept mediocrity I can't go on unless I'm truly being me And if that means, you don't approve Too fucking bad my mind is set and I won't move

Tourniquet
So far from where I started So many different paths to take And I never said I'm sorry For all the promises I didn't break Where did it go, the bond between us Something changed, and I took the blame Played the fool, found out the hard way I run it back, it's all the same I have no reason to fear tomorrow I don't regret what I did today This void between us it grows deeper And I can't find the words to say What did I get, for all the trying So much effort and wasted time It's said and done, I shed the blame I'm on my own and I still feel the fucking same The same I stayed true to what we said Did you think I'd turn away I reach to you with an outstretched hand Just to see you turn away

First, Last, Only
So much has been given and I don't expect it back You can only take for so long, until there's nothing left Burned and forgotten, it's hard to hide the scars How much more can I take until I'm pushed, Pushed too far Another day goes by and I still feel the same I want to open up but you just drift away Anyone but me and you might make a change Right here, no more you've taken everything Why do I come here, time and time again When everything I ever gave has never been returned I know I've set myself up to take another fall One more drop of blood, but there's nothing left Nothing left at all Another day goes by and I still feel the same I want to open up but you just drift away Anyone but me and you might make a change right here, no more you've taken everything Don't talk to me about sincerity When you don't know the word You used the friends who helped you out You crossed the bridge than burned it For the last time For the last time For the last time For the last time

Hold
These beliefs that I hold as true You once, believed them too Now the fire's gone from your eyes And you've become what you once despised But I, I still believe In that simple guideline In which, I take pride And I, I find it hard to understand How you could turn your back and walk away A common bond that we once shared Now it tears us apart Uncommon ground is where we stand And you, you don't even care But I, I still believe In that simple guideline In which, I take pride And I, I find it hard to understand How you could turn your back and walk away You just walked away And I'm standing here all by myself With these tears in my eyes And I feel like I lost a brother And I don't know why Do you remember The promise that you made And now I watch Another friend just fade away

Speak out, but you don't say a thing Just words without the courage to back them up Can't you feel it something deep inside Are you content to just sit back Just sit back and watch Did you ever live your life Did you ever try To see, to be Something more Did you ever live your life Did you ever try To see, to be Something more Speak out, but you don't say a thing Just words without the courage to back them up Can't you feel it something deep inside Are you content to just sit back Just sit back and watch Did you ever live your life Did you ever try To see, to be Something more Did you ever live your life Did you ever try To see, to be Something more Someday you might find yourself alone, Look inside Someday you might find yourself alone, Look inside Left alone, look inside You don't even know who you are Left alone, look inside You don't even know yourself Left alone, look inside You don't even know who you are Left alone, look inside You'll never know who you are
