Revival 02:38
I can’t change the road I walk Cause this is where I’m meant to be External acceptance Is something I could never seek I won’t surrender what I’ve worked so hard to achieve One day I’ll be nothing, but words inside an obituary I’d be lying if I told you This was a perfect path to take But I know, that sacrifice will be worth the price I can’t promise financial success But I’ll promise no regrets When my frail lungs take in the air of my dying breath How is it frowned upon? Pursuing my aspirations You are fucking dead Long before your heart beat stops I can’t change the road I walk Cause this is where I’m meant to be External acceptance Is something I could never seek I won’t surrender what I’ve worked so hard to achieve One day I’ll be nothing, but words inside an obituary There’s something special in the air When graced by the note of song It sits and lingers, it feels like hope Without it I’d be hanging from a rope Dig the barrel into my fucking skull I swear I’d feel nothing How is it frowned upon? Pursuing my aspirations You are fucking dead Long before your heart beat stops I’m running out of time and it’s all or nothing Closed minds will never understand

Realist 03:52
I pretend that the words aren’t trapped within my thoughts But to be truthful, they’re slowly ripping me apart Been told I’m depressed, called fucking hopeless, and all the rest I say I’m not a pessimist, but a realist But that’s a lie I tell myself, when I drown in negligence To briefly become a person that I don’t resent Letting every dawn just burn away I’m seeing weeks as numbers Instead of opportunities to change This didn’t happen overnight Yet you expect me to change in a day Like it’s so easy to part from your ways This isn’t a conscious decision It’s something that’s hard to fight Until you walk in my shoes you won’t understand Don’t say a word until through my eyes you see The pain, the stress, the difficulty The strain my own thoughts put on me I’ve accepted that I am the only one to blame I’m done with excuses, I’m done with the bullshit I’m done with my own flawed reasoning Constantly searching For reasons to be miserable Living in fear and trepidation Waiting for my world to crumble Tearing apart what I wish to achieve Living like this, makes goals forever just stay dreams I don’t want your sympathy I just want some damn consistency

Tunisia 01:44
Your indoctrination Is fucking disgusting Your religion preaches peace and well-being And you defy your own god Been brainwashed from day one And you’re ingrained with one purpose A distorted view of ancient beliefs Inflicted on Innocents A once tranquil beach Now haunted with blood-stained sand And the screams forever echo off the waves 38 people gone Oh No they aren’t just targets They are people with loved ones and hopes and dreams They’re not just numbers and casualties They’re human beings Your senseless barbarism killed mothers and fathers friends sons and daughters Was it worth it to bring it to this? Martyrdom for a god that doesn't even exist.

Downpour 03:19
These years have only felt a few months long Even through the painful dry spells When I was just running in place All progress has felt so foreign And regression too familiar Too prideful yet ashamed to learn from mistakes I let the things I love slip right through the cracks I shut my loved ones out, I tore my world down If I lived these days again Would I suffer from my faults? Or by chance could I overcome These stubborn fears I still pray for the rain to pour, harder than ever before Even though I know it washes the dirt from my weathered face, but not my past Come clouds, come gray skies Give me downpour, wash me away I’m in a drought and I’d rather drown I long for inundation I’m trapped in an absence of substance They tell me “think about the future” But I’m just digging my own grave Have you ever felt so fucking helpless I know I cannot change They tell me “think about the future” But I’m just digging my own grave See at this point any effort is worthless I can’t change I’ve struggled to accept this realization That I’ve spent my whole life reminiscing On the brighter days, from which I used to run But when I finally cherish the moments, they’re already gone

Burdened 02:37
With every single minute The distance between us grows While we both put on an act Every single difference shows There is a canyon between us Every time I cross, you bring a flood Then blame me, cause I can’t overcome the current Just leave me alone for once You’re nothing but a burden, holding me back You are tearing holes in the sails, when I need all the wind I can get I promised I would stay the same And to this day I think I’ve stayed true But the question that eats away at me Is what about all of you? They may have strength in numbers But they can’t stand up, for anything Everything I believe in Won’t be stricken down Take my life Before you take what I hold inside I’d rather be dead Than put their shit in my head Just leave me alone for once You’re nothing but a burden, holding me back You are tearing holes in the sails, when I need all the wind I can get I promised I would stay the same And to this day I think I’ve stayed true But the question that eats away at me Is what about all of you? Leave me be I know who I am, and I’ll fight off the change Til the light, of my very last day If two years ago, you looked at yourself now Would you be proud? Look me in the eyes Say it with conviction
