Toxic 02:51
I'm standing so close that it pulls me in the world I love isn't all it used to be so what the fuck would it take to be free? I dunno when every word we fight for we never wrote and there are beasts out there that dont want you to dream there are vampires that take your heart from everything now you're a weight on the world that fears sympathy I'm fucking scared man, that we are never going to grow who would you call insane a man with nothing, that knows the gift of today or the man with everything, that hopes tomorrow will go his way all I know is a heavy heart will ground the biggest wings what do we know of happiness we're told to want it but never give I've gotta bear it like I'm brave I'm not all the years I built a burden on my soul I will tear into my inside and stitch the wound in me where I forgot to live I'm standing so close that it pulls me in the world I love isnt all it used to be so what the fuck would it take to be free? I dunno when every word we fight for we never wrote and there are beasts out there that dont want you to dream there are vampires that take your heart from everything dont let them turn the world without your own beliefs you could be the heart that changes everything

I only wonder everything that we could be when all it takes to hold us back is this god damn world do you lie awake faced with delusional decay? or do you concede it all to fate? to the conditionally blind we're all basking in the light 'but we're just beasts in denial' argues the animal inside so as you lie awake battle this wretched place ask whose the holder of your faith you couldn't tame it once you've had a taste it's the savagery that outlives confine an ego stapled to the mind, the misfortunate divide another cripple, a product of our time cause you're the owner of your mind cause you're the owner of your time theres no life where you can elude the paralytic consume that no ones controlling you you're just a submissive fool if we sharpen our teeth we'll survive till the sunrise if we sharpen our teeth we'll be here for the sunrise

Fodder 02:06
Little man with his open eyes little man with his empty mind taught to believe all that he's told now a man with some tired eyes now a man with a jaded mind that's been broken, twisted, lied to, cheated by every other little man we're all burning under the same sun well I'm done hold your dreams they will burden the dark (they will carry me) loose your fears into giants arms (they will carry me) we're all burning under the same sun well I'm done oh little man, there's a fear that I bleed where a life that we've lived is never loved by me

Cause I've been waiting I've been waiting on the world to deliver me with every single turn but when you're holding onto things for far to long your letting go of everything you learned well I was always I was always open armed and blind to every demon that I met but with this reflection that I unwind I must find myself as tireless as time we're all waiting the world to come crashing down empty souls with lifeless dreams but that's a side of this life that you dont need to see hang your sorrows onto me there's a numbness inside that's sinking in clarity its all that I have to keep me from giving in and I will be your brightest its the heartache that waits for us in the dark chasing lives that fell apart its desire that waits for us to fall apart clinging to igniting hearts inside the sun? I know I'm not the only one and I will be your brightest inside the sun? I know I'm not the only one

Climbers 02:06
Stuck in the ground in the undershadow of a tree there was a seed with the rest of the world underneath 'why cant I see all the things up there you get to see?' I'm Guilty Although I'm tall I am nothing to the feathers 'if I stay here then I'll never see the weather and I believe that the view up there can be for me now I've seen you were once hidden like me' I never saw my feet become the ground thanks to the ones I kept around our deadbeat minds cross border lines chasing the good life all the makeshift beds cradle thumping heads this ain't fantasy this is family when the days get to heavy they are the ones that carry me this ain't fantasy this is family it's a love you couldn't sever we stand together when I carry a torch deep down in memory lane back to when life was fading away I was a destructive kid who heard tales of ambition we weren't getting off that midnight street where I prophecised freedom I thought I'd wait for the end 'its just death, it will one day save me' where would I stand now if all your lives were gone all I fear is the end this ain't fantasy this is my family they are the ones that carry me this ain't fantasy this is my family and we'll always be brothers for the days you gave me

Boneshaker 02:07
What can I fear? I survived everything that tried to take me every thought thrown my way that tried to miss shape me Without the ones in there that tried to break me where's the will to set my mind higher than the sky? what if what if what if I stay hungry we'll make a man that wont look down can we can we rebuild our frame of mind we fear a heart that beats to loud can I thank the things that did sink me only from the bottom could I strive to be greater can I thank the ones that tried to save me these feet are wings for chasing things that I've only seen in dreams if I followed the footsteps you laid me put my faith in a world of complacency oh the best days are never behind me cause I'll chase everything that I love if I followed the footsteps you laid me would we make a man that wont look down? all the best days are never behind me cause my heart is one that beats so loud don't shed a tear for me I'll find a life for every dream and the greatest dream I've found is standing alone in every crowd

Dreamchaser 03:52
Let it all out cause you've bottled up an empty self with false reflections benefiting a stunted growth let this life in why breathe if you do not love but I know inside, inside its cold it's always so fucking cold you're just a boy in this big wide world whose waiting to crawl back to nothing insanity without clarity is just another day your head says no a wasted youth left to dilute with the other aimless you're just a boy in this big wide world whose waiting to crawl back to nothing you're just a boy in this big wide world whose waiting to crawl back to nothing oh greatness become me so nows your chance happiness is in letting go directionless doesn't matter if you're still taking steps so lift your head up before your eyes is a chance to grow you'll outlive life if you never fear yourself just be an open mind when the world says no an open arm when the world says no an open ear when the world says no stop listening when the world says no its alright to feel broken you will see better days still the world moves on and it could slip through your fingers if you wait for it to come still the world moves on and it could slip through your fingers if your facing it alone
