… Read More Destroy everything

Cleanse wipe away the filth

Set fire to your waste

Burn everything back into dirt

Burn everything

Flood, drown the earth

Flood, drown the earth

It's what we deserve

Rehash the poisons

You breathe in the air

Tear down what you say your father created

Constructing buildings over buildings

Conceal history like a shameful scar

This world has lived for a million years with more to come

It's only a matter of time until you choke on your indifference

Struggling to breathe as the water fills your lungs

Trying hard to scream as it rises into your throat

The reckless, the careless, will reign until the oceans rise

Flood, drown the earth

Flood, drown the earth

It's what we deserve

It's what we deserve

It's what we deserve

It's what we deserve

It's what we deserve

 

 

This world has lived for a million years with more to come

It's only a matter of time until you choke on your indifference

Struggling to breathe as the water fills your lungs

Trying hard to scream as it rises into your throat

 

Wake up and save yourself

The sea will reclaim what it worked to create

Wake up, save yourself

Pick up the pieces

Ask for forgiveness

[Intro]

This place isn't meant for people like you

Spouting ideals for your fans to consume

You're insignificant, like an ant in the midst of elephants

You're all the same

You know you won't last forever

You're all the same

A flavor of the weak, is how you'll be remembered

You're all the same

 

[Verse]

Pulling your so-called burdens up off of your back

Throwing them overboard along with the rest, the rest

Ignoring the pioneers, insulting your peers

Did it feel good to get that off your chest?

Dragging us miles and miles, through the mud

Our faces, battered and bruised

We'll pick ourselves up out of the hole that you dug

Reaching and crawling to pull you under

 

[Interlude]

The tides will turn, tides will turn

And justice will be served, will be served

 

[Breakdown]

"Self-righteous" isn't a term, saved for the religious!

The tides will turn

Justice will be served

While I carve you to pieces with my words!

You're all the same

You know you won't last forever

You're all the same

A flavor of the weak is how you'll be remembered

You're all the same

 

 

[Outro]

Your legend will fade

No one will remember your name

You're all the same

No one will remember your name

No one! Will remember your name!

[Intro]

These windy streets tell of a different time

What got us here, won't get us there

It's time for the upright to have insight

Don't forget what's important in life

 

[Verse 1]

This place is like a cage that will imprison you

It's comfort only found without adversity

Anyone anywhere in history

Has confronted these realities

 

[Interlude]

What got us here won't get us there

I'll be there soon, that's why I care

 

[Verse 2]

Everyone you love will one day fade away

Everything you have will rot and decay

Everything around us will burn

Burn up in the death of the sun

 

[Pre-Chorus]

It's in the pain, that we see, our true selves change

In the sea of difficulty, we are defined

When we're blind, we will feel, our true selves change

In the sea of difficulty, we leave our comfort behind

 

 

[Chorus]

We are found, found in far away places

When all seems lost

We are found, found in far away places

Not all is lost

 

[Post-Chorus]

We must be strong

(And cling onto hope!), cling onto hope

We must be strong

When the ground is shaking out from under our feet

[Bridge]

 

[Chorus]

We are found in far away places

When all seems lost

We are found in far away places

Not all is lost

 

[Bridge]

Stop majoring in the minors

It's when you get inside that it widens

Stay true tempered (Stay true tempered!)

You're not the first to find life is tough

 

 

[Outro]

Circumstantial hope, isn't really hope at all

It's just a watered down distraction

From what stands in our way

Hope gives us, the ability to face reality

The ability to see through it all

[Guitar Solo]

 

Ordinary men don't find their own way, find their own way

It's in the struggle that we can finally see

I'll never forget how I felt so far away

When fear waged war and wore down on me

 

Bravery will find you, when your head is hung low

Bravery will find you, when your head is hung low

Your fear is like a fever

It too will go

 

Bravery will find you, when your head is hung low

Bravery will find you, when your head is hung low

Your fear is like a fever

It too will go

[Intro]

Do you know how it feels to hide?

With thoughts repressed deep down inside?

I guess you just loved the lie

Truth is, you can’t decide where my heart resides

 

[Verse 1]

You want to cure me of this epidemic

You call me sick, I wish I had said it

The words to admit to you who I am

My entire life, I was dealt the wrong hand

And cast aside (Cast aside) from the man that I am!

 

[Hook]

I’ve never felt so free

And it kills me, to hear you say; "you choose to love me”

I was hoping that would be a given, given our history

I’ve never felt so free (So free)

You think I’m wrong, you think I’m wrong

But I never felt better

 

[Chorus]

Stop living in denial. Stop loving the lie

I thought blood was thicker than water

You think I’m wrong but I never felt better

Stop living in denial

Stop loving the lie

I thought blood was thicker than water

You think I’m wrong but I never felt better

 

 

[Breakdown]

I know I disappointed you

But I’ve got nothing to prove

 

[Verse 2]

You want to cure me of this epidemic

You call me sick, I wish I had said it

The words to admit to you who I am

My entire life, I was dealt the wrong hand

Now I’ve realized this is who I am, I am

I’ve made my decision

You’re either with or against me

You’re either with or against me

You’re either with or against me!

 

[Bridge / Chorus]

Stop living in denial. Stop loving the lie

I thought blood was thicker than water

You think I’m wrong but I never felt better

Stop living in denial. Stop loving the lie

 

[Outro]

I’m standing firm, It’s who I am, who I am

You can’t keep me, you can't keep me down!

Iʼm moving on, I’m living free, living free

You canʼt stop me, you can't stop me now!

I’m standing firm, it’s who I am, who I am

You can’t keep me, you can't keep me down!

Iʼm moving on, I’m living free, living free

You canʼt stop me, you can't stop me now!
