From the beginning
I knew I was different.
I embraced it, but you didn't.
Your normal life, 9-5, it's just not for me.
I need to feel alive!
I won't fall like the rest of them,
They've come & gone with the wind.
I hear the doubt in the back of your mind

How can you just turn your back on everything you said you believe
It may not be real to you but it's real to me

Leave me out, I want no part of this
Open the gates and push me in
I'm not ashamed of who I have been
I'll never hesitate to say
I've seen what I have needed to see

From the beginning I knew I was different. I embraced it, but you didn't. Your normal life, 9-5, it's just not for me. I need to feel alive! I won't fall like the rest of them, they've come & gone with the wind. I hear the doubt in the back of your mind but still I'll see this through to the end. Maybe if you paid more attention, asked more questions & actually listened you would see this is not just a dream, but a path I've chosen that means everything to me. Don't you see the minds that have changed? Do you see the lives that have been saved? Don't you care to see the difference I've made? Listen closely, the highways call my name. Don't you see this is my everything? It may not seem right to you & you might not approve but it's real. This is the only thing that makes me feel. What more do I have to do to finally prove myself to you? What is it that you need to see to finally believe this is who I'm supposed to be? Most days I feel like your punching bag, but I will never let it hold me back. I just wish for once you knew how it felt to be brought down lower than everything else. Don't you care to see the difference I've made? Listen closely, the highways call my name. Don't you see this is my everything? It may not seem right to you & you might not approve but it's real. This is the only thing that makes me feel. This is who I am! This is my life. I come alive in the lights! I come alive in the lights. What will be written on your tombstone? You sat behind a desk. You had no backbone. What will be written on your tombstone? You sold your soul, grew old alone. Would you prefer that I become a lifeless, hollow shell such as yourself? Would you prefer that I give up my dreams & lose all hope just like everyone else? Don't you see the lives that have been saved? Listen closely, the highways call my name. Don't you see this is my everything? It may not seem right to you & you might not approve but it's real. This is the only thing that makes me feel.

Don't you see the minds that have changed?
Don't you see the lives that have been saved?
Don't you care to see the difference I've made?
Listen closely, the highways call my name.
Don't you see this is my everything?
It may not seem right to you and you might not approve but it's real.
This is the only thing that makes me feel.

Raise your glass to everything
You've accomplished on your own
I promise it wouldn't mean a thing tomorrow
We're all just headed straight for the ocean floor
On a ship without any captain aboard

This time you can't save yourself

Another day she sets foot in this prison,
Dreading what they'll say.
So much to give, but no one ever listens.
She dreams of running away.
Crippled by the way they make her feel,
She takes a look at her wrists and turns to the blade.
It's not a cry for attention if she just wants to feel anything other than the pain.
Everyone deserves to be loved,

If I've learned anything
It's that everybody's fake
No one means what they say
Just pick a side for heaven's sake
Yeah, yeah, you hate me
Go on and blame me
I know in your eyes I could never get it right
You want me dead but I'm alive

Talk of war, back and forth
All my god's goals, out the door
Set your sights on goals, and words, become obsessed, and watch success unfold
Decrease the morals, increase the funds. Don't be to preachy if you want to be loved
Forget conviction, just have some fun
Mindless words can take you to number one

Say I'm selfish, say I'm changed, say I abandoned what I set out to be

By the streets of that one bedroom apartment
We stood and watched the storm
Our eyes upon the blackened sky
As the rain began to fall
With a gentle sigh you took my hand and pulled me in
So close
Our pulses, beating a rhythm of passion as
The lightning split the sky

We are alive the last men standing from the fight
We are the chosen and we claim your life tonight
Breathe in the light that surrounds us
Can you fell it take the risk but know the consequence
Know the consequence

If we were made for this
Who are we to act any differently

Living in-between
What's real today
And what is possible
For tomorrow
Now I know
This is our call
We have been shown
The path we will follow

It's three o'clock in the morning,
you lie awake with a heavy heart.
You're thinking, "What is the meaning?
Was I a waste?
A mistake from the start?"
You just can't seem to remember
The last time anyone seemed to care.
All passion seems to wither

I am the air on your lungs
and the blood in your veins.
I am all the voices you hear,
and i will never go away.

The deafening sound you hear
is coming straight from your mouth.
Choke on your words your so shallow.

Behold this is my vision no less real for being unseen
Like a giant in a giant's world the I am proud of nothing
We try to be better from the outside in
But still we have no place to call home In the end

A wise man speaks when he has something to say
But fools just have to say something
A wise man speaks when he has something to say

I'm never slowing down
So I'm not where I should be
This is not the life I chose
It was chosen for me
It seems like everytime I turn my head
Someones got something to say
Well I... I am not listening
As I move forwards

Gathered together, the feared men
in the banquet-hall were put on a bench assigned,
all were strong until we sat them down,
to call them out. A henchman attended,
carried a cup in hand,
served the clear liquor to the forgotten men.
And these words were sang to me,

She's on the prowl.
She wants it all
And she'll stop at nothing!
Everyone knows
She's well aware of the fact
That her self respect
Was long lost on her
Search for something.

Chances to move mountains are few and far between,
But only unseen by those who choose them to be
Live every day like it's your last chance to be heard and seen,
Because the good die young and the great change the course of history.
Stop blending in
Start speaking out!
You'll never know what you can do if you don't try now.
Lift up your eyes discouraged one.

I pack my bags and say goodbye to my wife
For what seems like the millionth time.
They said it gets easier, but they lied.
She looks at me and says "Really baby, I will be just fine".
But then she looks away so I don't have to see her cry.
And that is when I ask myself

How am I supposed to be everything they expect me to be

With every letter I read,
I see their desperate cries to find the missing piece.
They just want to believe
someone can take away the burdens they carry.
Who am I to be here?
I am no different than them.
We are the same you see?
I wear my heart on my sleeve

I was abandoned last night without a way home
stuck in a desert with only you above me
I'm sorry I turned my back, back on you so many times
I'm standing right here asking you to accept my apology

Not everyone we know has faith in you
but we all know where they'll go in the end

Here I stand,
Nothing more than a broken man
Starring death in the face.
All my mistakes have got a hold on me again.

Here we go,
Another day, another fork in the road.
I never know who to trust,

Oh why do you try and pull me under?
Trust me I am already dead
I've been digging my own grave for far too long now,
And I don't mind waking up without in my bed.

Oh when the sun comes up you will realize that you were wrong,
And when your lungs collapse every breath that you take will feel like your last.

I take a deep breath into my lungs, let it out & move on.
I take a step back & look at all that I've done.
Why does it feel like I'm right back where I started from?
How can it be I need more when I've already won?
Just when I think I've got it all figured out you grab my hand & say not so fast,
Boy don't you see there is so much more!

I'm at the top of the world & I feel it,

Inside my body, I'm a stranger!
Stuck in a place that never changes!
The world around me, seems unaffected!
But here I am behind the bars in my own prison!
Behind the bars in my own prison!

All my worst memories on repeat!
It's like my mind is the stuck on rewind, it's a vicious cycle that I can't break free!

So caught up in our own day-to-day, we see lives in need & look the other way.
I'm not a pessimist, but I think it's safe to say this would be different if it was your family.
We can't fathom not having a place to rest our heads.
Can you imagine the pain of a newborn child that won't be fed?
It's so easy getting comfortable.
We ignore the empty hands in need, thinking someone else will see them.

Can you see the possibilities?

We put our lives in the hands
of the ones that claimed
They truly cared.
Come to find it's all just a lie
And when we needed them
No one was there.

I swear I'm not bitter.

I do not know the American Gentlemen.
God forgive me for putting such words together.
Undone you're no different than all the rest,
a life full of greed with no heart in your chest.

Full to your throats you cry out STARVATION!
Oh what a joke and waste of creation.
You are the only one to blame for all the choices you made.

It always ends the same.
I gave you all my heart just to watch it get thrown away,
thrown away!
It takes a toll on my soul
because I'm starting to believe
that love's just a game we play.
Is it all just a game?

I stare deep down into the eyes of my nightmares
As they come to life
I feel my heart beat right out of my chest
and I think I might be losing the fight
(I might be losing it)

I live inside my poisoned mind
It leaves me paralyzed (it leaves me paralyzed)

The city hides the secrets of the liars in the streets
The phone calls and assurances all for nothing (but looking good)
Every time the truth comes out its pushed away and pushed aside
But I won't stand and watch it all
It all go unsaid

How many times will I fall victim to this It's normal by now
No one helps each other up we push one another back down

Persevere persevere
It's time to test the limits of your heart
Make it clear this is not
A test of the system they want you to believe
Understanding the paths that we take
Relay's signals from our nerves to our brain
Don't get lost in the upside down ways
This world has a heavy hold on your heart

It's a mystery, too good to be true.
I find my purpose when I look at you.
I bleed transparent.
It's not the way I choose, but it's only when I'm vulnerable my true colors shine through.

For a moment, I'm a poet without words,
Speechless because you love me at my worst.
I don't deserve this.

Staring at the wall,
I never thought this would be so hard.
How could have I been so close and never known you?
I never knew, I never knew you at all!

You will always be my father but I hope you know,
It's your fault and I'll never know what that means.
You left a void that never could be replaced.

I hit the bottom of my lowest lows.
My darkest hours are the times I grow
& every time I am broken I know that it's only so I can be restored.

I never would have found my way if I didn't realize I was lost in the first place.
Amazing grace how sweet the sound.
I never could have picked myself up off the ground.

I felt the ground start to shake.
Oh God, oh God,
Everything's up in flames.
I prayed that it would have ended
Just as fast, just as fast as it came.

All I could hear was:
"March on, march on.

Maybe one day you'll see what you did to me,
But until then, I need you to know you make me sick!

I know that you think that you're changing,
I know that you think you're perfect.
But your yesterday is a joke
And everyone's heard it all before!

Dancing with the heart
From you ear against mine
Made me a victim to love
A love that was never divine

You were my first
I hated it all
Oh I hated it all

Here we go again
I brought us here on purpose
I knew we wouldn't make it out
You see it in my face
You and I were born to die in this place

All the walls you built to surround you
Crumble right before your eyes

These streets are crowded
With cowards
Disguised as men
They are
Paying no consequence
For their actions
Soon we'll all give in

Let go of everything,
Let go of everything!

What is it that you are holding on to?
What will it matter when every history book is consumed in the flames?
Soon it will be like you never existed,
Not a single soul will remember your name!

Swimming against the current, it's been this way from day one.
Always an uphill battle, we never got a single handout from anyone.
So tell me, if we were "damaged goods," then what does that make you?
As far as I'm concerned, you're nothing more than just a worthless suit.

We are the rose.
We are the rose that grew from the crack in the concrete.
I never doubted for a second even when you left us on our own.

Digging a hole that I can't get out of deeper and deeper
Below the surface to find that there's nothing there
Where do I go from here?
Give me something that I can feel.
Back and forth, here we go again.

What will it take,
To keep it together?

Say what you wanted to say,
Mean what you wanted to mean.
I'm listening, so be real with me.

I've never known you to be
One that refuses to speak.
You've never held anything back from me until now,
What were you thinking?

I think it's time
We paid a little closer attention to all of this
Your slight of hand is an old trick
And I see right through your wit

So I'll ask you
Can you keep your word?
Or is this where we go our separate ways?

She's got too many troubles on her mind. her father told her to leave this was too much trauma. For a poor widower's soul.
she was once happy, before she killed him and buried him beneath the sand
God cant save her now she's going to the guillotine
Her soul can now be forever torched but her body will remain here with me...
So I guess you can say I love a corpse but thats just insane

I awoke last night to hear the screaming of a child but it wasn't mine. I doubt this fairytale will put me back to sleep, but what the hell...

Say what you wanted to say,
Mean what you wanted to mean.
I'm listening, so be real with me...

I've never known you to be!
One that refuses to speak..
You've never held anything back from me until now,
What were you thinking?

You don't have to know me
To know that you're lost
Just know that i don't mind
I don't mind
And you don't have to see me
To know that I'm right by your side
Just know
I would never leave you my child

Drowning myself every night
Me versus me has always been my biggest fight
I've been so confused for so long
And the answers always seem so far out of sight
So I fill it up fill it up one more time
So when everything is wrong at least I still feel right
I'm in the tunnel but I can't see the light!

This is who we are!
These are the roads we paved,
The strength we found
And the mistakes we made along the way.

This is who we are!
These are the roads we paved,
The strength we found

I've got some things to say.
I believe this announcement is over due.
My days blended together seamlessly and who knew?

The error of my ways in this world becomes so severe.
The day she interrupted my life it all fell,
but she was so sincere.

I've seen your work, I'm not impressed
Devoted to you emptiness
You get so close to me
I know you're reaching for my throne

I feel you breathing to my neck
I hate this feeling in my chest
Bring your destruction
