ay down, take a rest Take a step, learn to walk again Pull the weight off your shoulders Give up the guilt and learn to walk again (Start again) She said ''I won't be long'' WHOA He spent a lifetime waiting He said ''I don't belong now'' WHOA She's still in line waiting...

Feel the flame of incomformity rising up Let's burn the world down to the ground and build up a better present than this, an ''always'' worth fighting for We see our own gazes fade in the distance We aren't speaking for ourselves. While waiting we're fading out Our actions buried beneath our silence We're fading out, while waiting As our screams give into violence. See the state of mediocrity take control and how much longer till we realize it's enough? How much can we take before every bridge is left to burn and we're drowning in the smoke and there's nowhere left to turn? While waiting we're fading out Our actions buried beneath our silence We're fading out, while waiting As our screams give into violence. WE'RE FADING OUT, WHILE WAITING Feel the weight of uncertainty but I won't give up.

All along we've just been trying to figure out what we are Ten thousand days have passed since Stuck in the same place. To make ourselves is to break ourselves In these desperate times we're living in. I know it's hard to see the clouds over the horizon We just haven't tried hard enough WE'RE STILL STUCK IN THE SAME PLACE. It's up to us to make a difference for ourselves WHOA Just need to close my eyes to think of a better day WHOA. To make yourself is to break yourself So close your eyes, think of a better place To make yourself To make yourself is to break yourself So break the line, conceive a better day Make yourself. It's up to us to make a difference and build ourselves WHOA We just need to walk and keep on towards a better day WHOA. To make ourselves is to break ourselves, So conceive a better day.

Wish there was something I could do to make this better but all I have are petty words and they amount to nothing. In yout eyes, I see the light is fading Driven into the hopeslessness of a thousand sleepless nights. This picture perfect still of the world I hold in my head Staring down from this stool with this noose tied around my neck I feel the weight of the world overbear my shoulders How many times must I try to run away before I realize that... There's no way that you can run away from the ghosts that haunt you It's better to just dive in and comfront all the bullshit life pust in front of you We need to try to realize that there must be something worth the hustle at the end of the line. All this time already wasted trying to find something to say. Wish there was something I could say to make this better But all I've got are these sore eyes from a thousand sleepless nights And a pat on the back for each time you get off the floor Until you find something worth living for. There's no way that you can run away from all your past mistakes The harm you've done and all the wrong turns in all the years to come We need to find a way to let go of guilt and the burdens we carry Until the sun sets in our eyes. There's no way that you can run away from the ghosts that haunt you It's better to just dive in and comfront all the bullshit life pust in front of you We need to try to realize that there must be something worth the hustle at the end of the line. We need to find a way We need to find our way out the water.

Written up on a chalkboard somewhere, where kids used to learn A message lost in time, we've forgot it, a lesson unlearned We now define ourselves by measure, not through wit and heart, it will tear us apart Left to wither in a schoolyard, somewhere, a place we now can't find. As our dreams and hopes lay shattered on the floor God, we beg for something more Tell me, is there something we've been missing? As our better selves forsake what we've become Our present day feels cracked and torn Please tell me, when did we stopped listening? Now we stare at books filled by hollow words and we become blank pages Our actions rendered innefectual by the current state, we turned to the dark ages Our modern-day religion based on ignorance, when did money become god? We drowned so deep in our virtual selves we can't hear our thoughts. When did warm turn to indiferent and prescription turned to illnesses? When did shrewd become so dreary? now there's a price to pay for caring. Written up on a chalkboard somewhere, where kids used to learn A message lost in time, we've forgot it, a lesson unlearned As our dreams and hopes lay shattered on the floor God, we beg for something more Tell me, is there something we've been missing? As our better selves forsake what we've become Our present day feels cracked and torn Please tell me, when did we stopped listening? As our dreams and hopes lay shattered on the floor Still we beg for something more There must be something we are missing.

Here I stand again My face buried in my hands Silence's become the soundtrack to these past few months And though your absence brought with it despair and grief Rest asured I'll keep the gold close to my heart. So here I stand again My chin buried in my chest I lay between the distress of loss and the hope new cycles are to come Here I'm hoping you find a safer way to brighter days Go your way, keep your pace, I know I'll see you again, someday, old friend. You showed me the path and helped me cross THROUGH MY FEARS You were support, a cane to help me walk when the way got rough Your memory is light so I can see THROUGH THESE DARK DAYS When fear is blinding, roads are winding, depression's inviting and my thoughts are colliding. La separaciÛn parece ser mejor opciÛn a mantenerte anclado a mi A perder algo que nunca te perteneciÛ NavegarÈ sin direcciÛn. So here I stand again Though I'm feeling like a leaf blown by the wind Uncertainty and November got the best of me I still find comfort in your words, they sound so clear I rest sure you keep the gold. You showed me the path and helped me cross THROUGH MY FEARS You were support, a cane to help me walk when the way got rough Your memory is light so I can see THROUGH THESE DARK DAYS When fear is blinding, roads are winding, depression's inviting and my thoughts are colliding.

STAY ON THE PATH, the tide is rising You don't want to get caught by the spirits that haunt these waters Dragging our shipwreck-dreams to the ocean floor Stay on the path, the ever-sailing vessel will come for us As the crow flies we need to find our way ashore. It's best we wait, we must think straight before we're three sheets to the wind and forever loose our north The wind on our sails, it's all that's left to save us from getting our hope gone overboard. The water that's breaking the levee Is preying on our souls We must find the wind, we will not be safe Until we reach the shore. STAY ON THE PATH, the tide is rising You don't want to get caught by the spirits that haunt these waters When we get hauled into the deep blue sea we'll lose our souls Stay on the path, We need to find our quay A place to lay our heads, before we're washed away As the crow flies, squandered time, our wasted life are taking the wind from our sails. We're drowning into this sea of despair The blaze of our wreck burst to flares Adrift for a thousand nights, astray in broad moonlight Drift into nothing like an unheard prayer. It's best we wait, we need to be set straight before we're candles in the wind and forever loose our light We need to set sail, towards a new direction before we become another shipwreck lost at sea. It's best we wait, we must think straight before we're three sheets to the wind and forever loose our north The wind on our sails, it's all that's left to save us from getting our hope GONE OVERBOARD.

If I had swallowed up my pride I would have a chance to get my life back If I could mend all my mistakes I might find the strength at least to say goodbye. Well I'm here at the side of the road Right where you left me I dare not take a step Just in case I miss you if you come and get me I swear I've never felt this lost Please come back home. An endless stream of mistakes turned warm smiles into fragile handshakes The brightest days into the coldest of nights I can't remember the last time that I actually saw you I can't remember the last time I saw you through the mirror. But I'm still at the side of the road Right where you left me I'm taking my first step Cause I'm tired of waiting for you to come get me God, I'm so tired of being wrong I'm coming home.

WHAT DID WE DO TO DESERVE THIS? We are victims of our failure We are witness to our own demise We flap our wings in hope the wind will change to our favor But the world won't turn by our social-media cries. We are the ones to say what echoes in our head Forever hear us scream, over and over. Feel the weight of the world over your head The dire need to rip a whole across your chest We're drowning in distress We're in over our heads. And we will learn to live, with nothing but hope The feeling of losing, soon will be gone And iíll carry the weight of the world Iíll do it again and again and again i need to know we can do this i need to know we can. The world we could conceive will burn inside our heads. We are the ones to say what echoes in our head Forever hear us scream, over and over. Feel the weight of the world over your head The dire need to rip a whole across your chest We're drowning in distress We're in over our heads.

So this is where our freedom lies? It sleeps besides the wolves in sheep disguise All this time wasted always looking for something and when we found it turned out to be nothing. So this is where our freedoms ends Forever stuck in the past tense? We are the road we, ourselves, pave. We need to realize we need to question why We need to trace the line, before we bleed ourselves dry. And start anew scratching what's been feeding This state of discontent before we all regret Finding that our freedom rests At the end of a gun held by cold hands(below money's worth and cold intent) We are the road we, ourselves, pave We need to realize we need to question why WHOA Before we bleed ourselves dry We need to trace the line before we're out of time WHOA Or we'll find ourselves in the dark. Wasted years Forgotten past the point of no return Wasted youth Pretending our self-fullfilling dreams came true. So this is where our freedom lies? It Sleeps besides the wolves in sheep disguise All this time wasted always looking for something and when we found it turned out to be nothing. We need to realize we need to question why WHOA Before we bleed ourselves dry We need to trace the line before we're out of time WHOA or soon we'll find ourselves in the dark We need to realize we need to question why WHOA Before we let the last trace of ourselves die We need to draw the line before we're out of time WHOA or soon we'll find ourselves back in the dark

Wish there was something I could say to make this easier But saying goodbye is never simple I've got a bouquet of all the wrong shit I've done in my hand And a bucket full of ''fuck you''s waiting for me back at home. And I sing to myself for all those times I buried my face in my hands Wish they're all worth something. I got up today ready to paint myself a brand new shade of gray I'm out my door and ready to walk the same old road Where warm smiles turn to fragile handshakes The very road you left me at Again and again and again. And I sing to myself for all those times I buried my face in my hands Wish they're all worth something. Wish there was something I could do to make this simpler But all I got are petty words I've been sailing my days away on this cold bed November came again to take what's left of me. And I sing to myself for all those times I buried my face in my hands Wish they're all worth something. (I'm coming home, I'm coming home)

Mi mundo atrapado en la tirania El tiempo consume lentamente Èsta vida Atados al borde de una maldiciÛn. Hemos abandonado toda ilusion Perdieron sentido nuestras esperanzas Recibiendo la ausencia de su propia desdicha La apatia no logra borrar el dolor. Somos las consecuencias de la indiferencia Creemos en almas perdidas por la autoridad. Mi mundo atrapado en la tirania El tiempo consume lentamente Èsta vida Me niego a ser una sombra de la sociedad.
