Open Minds 01:37
lyrics
I welcome change and endeavour to better myself by shedding the pretensions of a populous detached from the emotions that define us While I don't put faith in a god I respect anyone with an open mind and disagree that there isn't something more Reliance on the tangible and exile of the spiritual has led us to this
2.
Headlines 03:27
lyrics
There's more than one side to the story I'm tired of hearing the headlines repeated and accepted without question Events get twisted and lies get printed Read all about it; deceit for the masses Read between the lines, cast your own perspective Read between the lines, stray from the collective So will you blindly follow what everyone else thinks? Or will you take a step back, wait just a second before you react and question the facts We allow ourselves to be led by publications and politicians with there own agendas Well I'm asking you now to think for yourself I'm asking you now to think for yourself I've made many wrong decisions but at least I made them- no one else And I can say with certainty that I've retained my clarity And I can say with certainty my mind is mine My mind is mine

Silver and Gold 03:36
lyrics
We have been manipulated since day one "buy this buy that, you fucking need this" Our heads rewired to want more and more, materialistic sheep unaware of our fleece We are disconnected The world got too big for us to care Our hearts grew small and we discovered greed and now we fill our lives with objects we don't need So we take and we take and give nothing back to a world that can't withstand much more Herded into thinking that what we own defines who we are Chained down in gold and silver- luxuries with no purpose- but to keep us feeling incomplete I refuse to be repressed by what I possess I won't be We won't be defined by our wealth We won't be clouded by material gain We won't be coerced into indifference We won't be the ones to seek fortune over love

Strength of Heart 04:44
lyrics
I can't see what’s up ahead but I know what’s in my heart So many years to make our mark, to chose the least worn path and when the seasons change we'll see what we've become I wrote these words what seems like so long ago Winters and summers have passed and I’m not the same person I was The negatives I knew have failed to move on Still stuck in the past You wait to decay Short lived nothing worth to say You wait to decay Dead hearts won't keep me down When did your veins give in? Lifeless; no drive to live Dead hearts won't keep me down, beating alone void of sound Still finding my place I'm not alone in this race We found a pulse Running through us making way for a greater, a brighter day The path that we take- the journey we make- will define who we are in the end Moments may fade- faces may change- the drive in our hearts will stay the same We have the strength, we have the heart, to carve our own path We are the architects of our own actions

Mesmerized and Desensitized 03:22
lyrics
Mesmerized by the neon lights Desensitized by tonight’s prize fight It’s inane what some humans enjoy and insane the violence they crave Fists have no place here They're all condemning war but baying for blood I'm wading through a flood of hypocritical fucks Love and hate is in us all; it's up to you which one you choose to hold on to Which one will you choose Don't agree with all you see; if a mans down on his luck pick him back up Take your head out from the clouds Sightless and oblivious to violence Wipe the sludge that covers your eyes Break the stone encasing your heart Apathy is a disease that can be cured by simply allowing ourselves to care

Break Free 02:58
lyrics
Set me free Day to day, year to year, trapped here There’s so much that I hope to achieve but it feels like this straight line society has every wish to drag me to my knees Wake drain sleep repeat, a life I refuse to lead Born to conform; no choice Taught to accept; brainwashed These towns all look the same; same shit different day There’s a world I have to see I’m working up the strength to break free Break free There are worse states of life than death I’m not gunna be just another piece of an endless puzzle you call an existence I can't just sit here and fit in Wake drain sleep repeat a life I refuse to lead I’m working up the strength to break free Break Free I won't let my cycle continue Take a stand- yeah man- against wasting your days on a system that sees you only as a number Don't waste your days
8.
Pressure 03:59
lyrics
The airbrushed images of an artificial life screamed at her “you just aren't good enough” She just wanted to be like the stars She didn't get very far Disgusting men- after only one thing- stripped away her pride and fed her lies She had a pretty face and half a voice; enough to exploit No one should have to feel like they're not good enough With so much pressure it's harder said than done No one should have to feel like they're not good enough It's harder said than done The shit she puts in her veins to feel alive is the aesthetic her "managers" use to thrive Her skeletal figure features in the magazines; It's what she wanted but she’s too high to notice anything No one should have to feel like they're not good enough She'd tried so hard and couldn't feel anymore No one should have to feel like they're not good enough Pressure to be someone had destroyed who she was Just one more fix An hour before the show that needle hunts her vein The last overdose she'll ever take All her fans want to be just like her

The Old World 03:09
lyrics
We'd been searching the old cities for days looking for a shred of decency in its past Few relics remained of the sane; most cared for little more than themselves What could of been without animosity If they'd respected each others cultures and beliefs the constant wars would of ceased and we would not be picking through the remains of humanity The burnt pictures of the protesters read "stop the hate and reciprocate" The war orchestrators hid in their ivory towers Nobody escaped extinction in the end They learnt their lesson when the air turned black but they can't wish it back They saw it coming and did nothing Before the ash clouds blocked out the sky the predictions said it would end this way I guess nobody listened

Damages 05:10
lyrics
He was dead before he hit the floor That day more than one life collapsed A mother with an unborn son A father that was never coming home He left a whole lot of pieces to pick up You’re gone and we'll never hear your voice If you can hear we never forgot The deafening tones of those who spoke in hushed words filled the air They all had those scrunched up brows that said “we feel what your going through” Starting again wasn't easy but she would overcome tragedy She had to stay strong for more than just her She asks almost everyday why he was taken away Over 20 years have passed but sometimes on a bright march day she still feels that same pain like it was only yesterday Your gone and we'll never hear your voice If you can hear we never forgot You've held stronger for me than I have ever been We built new foundation We've moved on but we'll never forget
