Weary
00:54
|

We're always waiting for the train to pass us by
Standing side by side, with empty people filled with empty lies
Take a look at my face, I'm a desperate man
Am I being punished on this platform where I stand?
We were just kids back then
You can't blame us for that
We were just kids back then

Helping Hand
03:10

The sacrifices that I've made will build me up
A stronger man would have no problem saying what he felt,
but I'm the weakest boy that ever bit off more than he can chew
The weakest boy who ever threw away more than he knew
I feel lost within this crowd
Help me to find the strength to scream the words that we all felt
I fear all the whispers I hear will fall victim to the silence
You said "Take those words that were dead, give them life and they will listen," and I know you always speak the truth
Against all odds I find myself down and out,
and you won't lend a helping hand
I'll grow and I will see the end of this
Long live my therapy
Life is my therapy
You will never wreck everything I've worked to gain
I will never break promises I've ever made
I've lost my faith in you
I'll gain my faith in you back

Letters Home
01:52
|

I look through muddy lenses and I've got clearer eyes
I know what I know and that's enough for this guy
Old man, listen when I say "You have nowhere to go"
Children, without sin you will find your way back home
Rebuild every bridge you thought you burned
make amends to everyone you hurt
Old man, listen when I say "You have nowhere to go"
Children, without sin you will find your way back home
All the sand falls through my fingers
I don't wanna believe that we could be so much greater
We'll find what we're looking for, I know
I swear, listen when I say "You have nowhere to go"
Rebuild every bridge you thought you burned by writing letters home

Mother's Face
02:07
|

The boy you used to be was a fool
We were the worst mistake that you've ever made
Sometimes I feel like I've lost my focus, so focused
We all felt better once, before we gave ourselves to greed
I will never let you shape or mold me, you're a fucking thief
She played the cards that she was dealt
I'm my father's son
I've got my mother's face with the eyes of gambling man
You don't owe me anything
You're every word on every page and the paper is stacking up
Don't let it block out the sun
A father who blocked out his son
And these are the words that I'll scream in your face:
I will never let you hold me down
The path you chose was bad
The choice you made was wrong,
and everything that I have learned,
I've learned from you and I know nothing

Crooked Tongue
02:23
|
|||
We all have met the man in the darkness
Heard the words that he has spoke
He talked of the hungry
He told of the tired and broke
Beggars die on sidewalks with pennies in their pockets
You'll pay no attention when you find yourself on the top
We're falling through the cracks
I once hear a wise man say,
"Beware the boys with the crooked bite who said we're not falling"
I can tell by the dirt on your knees
that you sold you soul to the devil himself
I'll never be like you
Your crooked tongue has me feelings useless
Like I am just a pawn inside your scheme
And I am held by strings
Your fingers dance to control my every move
I fucking hate you
We will no longer sit back and watch
It's time for us to be heard
We will pawn their shiny badges and bullets while we are here
To ease and comfort the pain in their stomachs, while we are here
And our footsteps were washed away by the rising tide

Elders
01:26
|

An old man wakes and shakes the cobwebs from his hair
But today is much different than any other day
He has the confidence to leave his crooked house
and we just all sit back and stare
He has the confidence to tell us how he felt
when we were all too fucking scared
They built the road that we all walk
Without their passion and perseverance we would all be stuck
And we'll just point and stare
Mother forgive me
And we'll just point and stare
What makes us better than you?

Only If We Survive
02:30
|

I used to wear a cross around my neck
Because I hadn't seen the real world yet
When will I see?
I've never been one to fall down to my knees,
Ask something from anyone that I know is never listening
I've made mistakes, but I can live with them
I'm trying hard to figure out who the hell I really am
This is what I believe
I live for moments, hopes and dreams
I'm awake even as I sleep
I'd rather be dead than stuck right here where there is no progression
Every minute of every day, I try my best to learn a lesson
Taking something from every situation that I'm in
I'm never perfect, i live my life with sin
Sometimes I hope someone can prove me wrong
I wish to find the truth before we're all gone
I will pay for what I've done
I would rather be dead
Pay for what you've done
Realize I was the boy with the crooked tongue
