What are you doing with your life? How you justify your actions?
With every pill you take and every promise you break, what do you tell yourself to get by?
How do you sleep at night? I wonder, are you sober, or are you high?
You're not living your life. You're just waiting to die.
Please tell me, is this really what you wanted all your life?
I hope you get what you are searching for.
Because you're fading away from me, and now I don't know who to be.
So what happens you don't wake up?
It's whatever, at least you got that rush.
Was it the one you were searching for?
You waste it all for nothing in return.
game of risk.
You should know you always lose with this
You face the consequences of your actions every day.
You're numb to the pain
You are a shell.

Divide

Get back, are you black or white?
Nobody seems to care about the things inside.
This is by design, nobody sees beyond what they've been given to see.
Bite me. Turn away your gaze.
There are things much more important than the words I say.
Fight me on a Facebook page, when you don't even know why you think that way.
Divided we all fall down. We can't stand til we stand together.
I'm fighting for my own, I can't bear this weight alone.
Divided we all fall down, but no one wants to break the silence.
If we could just come together, we could make this hell our home.
Why, of all the demons of our days, do we choose to fight our battles over skin we cannot change?
I would rather everyone go blind than have to suffer for the ignorance of pointless chosen sides.
We cannot walk the path paved by the ones before us.
We cannot walk the way or talk the way we did before.
We cannot dedicate. We cannot consecrate. We cannot hallow this ground.

What's become of me? My whole life on a tabletop, laid out in front of me.
I don't need, don't want to be saved.
When everything is bittersweet, it's hard to tell if my mind is with or against me.
I don't need, don't want to be saved.
You always get the best of me, nowhere to turn to now.
I can't come down, I won't come
You always take the breath from me, nowhere that I can turn.
I need you now, I need you now.
I never wanted to be the reason my mother doesn't sleep at night.
I couldn't even fathom the fear that grips her when she shuts her eyes.
Listen closely, because this time I want it bad.
But each step that I take forward is met with two steps back.

The Outside

I'm watching from the outside, and I can no longer see.
Everything I thought I knew is crashing down on me.
Two facing, replacing everyone who needed you.
Look back, you'll remember: you needed me too.
What about our family values? Do you want to drive us out?
What are we to do without you? How can you just move on?
You chose yourself before the people next to you.
Who's inside? We're outside. Will you forget us too?
Holding on to hope we'll find the best in you.
Who's inside, we're outside. Right there in front of you.
I'd never close my door. I'd never run from my mistakes.
And all I want, is a place to call my own.
You watched your son move out.
You drove your family away, and when I look back now, I would never do the same.
What about our family values? Did you want to drive us out?
What are we to do without you? You never stopped to hear us out.
The walls fall back. The ground shakes, the structure cracks.
There's still time to drop your bags. We will always have you back.

Stockholm Syndrome

Is it the way he flows between the words he sows deceit in every stitch?
Is it the way he grants you just enough attention to scratch that itch?
The way that you pretend the poison you defend isn't killing you.
The way that you protect the rope around your neck, I can't believe you do.
I tried, but I can't take it anymore. I've done all I can.
You're drowning now, and I would pull you out but you would never let me in.
And it's a lonely life when you spend your time living for someone else.
You could have had the world but you chose to live in hell.
You've made your bed, I've done all I can but I can't save you from yourself.
How many times have I picked you up for you to let him to push you down?
I tried to save you from the rising tide but you'd rather sit there and drown.
I tried and tried to make you see the light, but you're too far gone to save.
I tried to help you but I couldn't bail you out while I watched you dig your grave.
I see you standing at his feet where you left your dreams upon the shelf
When will you learn that you can't stand by and live your life for someone else?
You could have had the world but he pulled you down to hell.
You've made your bed, I can't bring you back. I can't save you from yourself.

To Silence We Turn

We are not afraid, though soon comes the day our voices to silence turn.
We are Godless today... gutless today.
But make no mistake, we are not afraid.
Divided we fell, but here at the bottom there's nowhere to go but up.
We are not discouraged, though our opinion determines our worth.
We are not forsaken, we are the face of unwavering hope.
We are not afraid, though soon comes the day our voices to silence turn.
We are not dismayed, for maybe someday we might from our failures learn.
Hold fast, we are Godless today.
Hold fast, we are hopeless, but not for long.
We have nothing to fear, for we will find our serenity here.
To hope, hold fast; because in our generation, faith doesn't last.
