BYO Split Series, Volume I

2 ContributorsCaught Up LyricsHow do we get back away from the grind that gives no slack to the frames the ones we filtered first which widened our eyes through their colors shapes and designs with everything so brand new and everthing so pure and true when saving the world could be done in a day with a cape and an imagination ready to play on our hands and knees we crawled and watched as our elders walked we soaked up all we could clung to what we knew was good and glazed amazed at what unfolded before our face to find out we'd forget it all by being caught up in a race that isn't for fun at all with hands frustrated to do instead of willing to try living by the clock and slowly wasting away in tie on my hands and knees i plead to see the way that a child does see and waltz around aware not drowned not buried down or cornered slammed a fresh start entity an easy way to be unless you're past the age

2 ContributorsWrong and Righteous LyricsI've been told where i should stand just this side of the line that says that is wrong and this is righteous don't cross that line and keep your voice down because no one wants to hear of other ways cause we all need to be saved from mistakes we've made but not me i'll live out my life the way i see and i'll sink my faith in what's in me and in truth and where freedom lives where we choose not damnation not lines that split us up and no i don't want to be saved from this world cause i believe it's beautiful and worth fighting for

2 ContributorsTake It as It Comes LyricsThere are roads

That lead to the unknown

With tools that do nothing less than tax you to the bone

I find hope

When there are wills to carry on

And push to continue their songs

Those souls stand out

With presence noticed

Those souls speak loud

While their voices carry over and over while shining light

In humble aura of honest right

Show me how show me now

How to recognize the coming of a breakdown

Show me now show me how how to recognize a breakdown

Because i want to take it as it comes

Deal with what goes wrong

With my chin always up

And my feet planted sure in the ground

2 ContributorsThe Bitter End LyricsWhen the day stops

Do you

Still believe

You were right

On and rising?

If you let your

Hate endure

More prominent

Than your love or your trust

You let it push us away

But you can't make me come down

Anchored something fierce locked in set straight

I won't change where i stand now

On leaving hate and keeping warmth

And I won't take to your cold

Because I believe

That there is more to life

Than just living

And i don't see

How you can stay

So covered with cold

I wish you

Would open up

And shine the light that I knew

But you can't make me come down

Anchored something fierce locked in set straight

I won't change where i stand now

On leaving hate and keeping warmth

But you can't make me come down

Anchored something fierce locked in set straight

I won't change where i stand now

On leaving hate and keeping warmth
