- Brightest Light
We swore we’d get it done. So turn the page, keep moving on. Speed it up and dumb it down. We’re edging out towards it. Another day, another deal. And I know we’re just real as just is. How could I say? How could I say enough? When there’s just shadows left of our friends, you know we can join them too. Times taking everything. The brightest light is fading fast when the stains aren’t coming out. I can’t help stop the thinking these weary eyes aren’t holding yours. And you can’t forgive, the last time I let it in. And if I was to say enough, would it be there? How could I say enough?
- Empires
When social currency is the friendships that you keep, I guess I’m as rich as I could ever be. We draw our cues from mistakes we’ve been shown. The strongest undertow you’ve ever known. One reason, ten thousand days. No excuse for the progress we have made. One difference, ten thousand strong. One man can keep the fires burning on. I see the empires you been building tall. From strength to strength, you know you’ve proved them wrong. One thousand mistakes, and none of them could keep you from becoming the strength that I see.
- Lost Souls
I gravitate to what speaks to me; free thought, kind hearts and music to my ears. But still it seems things you can’t escape; boys clubs and adolescent ideals. No one needs their rules and judgments. Outcasts, loners and to all the lost souls stay true to yourself. Even those words of incite you recite blindly, it seems. I’m still surprised you continue to keep on thinkin what others say. In one ear and out the other. Just look around, it’s about time to self reflect. As for lost souls, outcasts and loners stay true to yourself again and again. There’s hope for us.
- One in a Thousand
Said all we have are these beliefs and truths but can we question how free are our thoughts? Kin and institution played a part shaping us. We grow from our mistakes or we never understand what we’ve all got. Learn silence from the talkative. Tolerance from the intolerant. Kindness from the unkind and more from you. Maybe we learn to stand opposed doesn’t mean we have to be hate-filled and spiteful. Maybe we learn to speak our minds with words of truth and heartfelt compassion. To far to the left can end up far right. Culture and tradition don’t excuse us for intolerance, prejudice or for ridicule. One in a thousand fighting for those rising tall. Don’t tow the line. Question everything you can. We trip and fall. Dust yourself off and stand tall.
- Solitary
Can’t hope a solitary act could let us start again. My youth taught me there’s nothing to be learnt. This world is older than us. Give me something to remember. Now it’s sold, and they couldn’t help when they found you here. Give me something good to die for. Another way, no they couldn’t help when they found you here. Father told me not to hope and live my life in fear. But now that sinking hell came back around. And mother said that something told me not to trust my life with him. Would that be something to believe? Not a solitary act, or your words. Just remember you’re the one who holds the rope. And if I promise to be you, I’ll find myself involuntary. I’m finally sinking, fighting to hold. This time around.
- Tidal Wave
There’s hope, every moment changing them from inside a tidal wave. Guess I’ll see you at the worlds, just outside rivalry. Now try and forget the dead, and how’d you go trying to fight someone else? Just follow where you are lead, and next time they will set their sights on you. Won’t let them take what’s owed from me.The sense to stay awake. Don’t let them take from you. The sense to rise against. Won’t let them take what’s owed from me. The sense to stay awake. Don’t let them take from you. We don’t see out of view. We don’t see you. If I stand by what I said, don’t let them chose me. Paint target on my chest, don’t let them chose me.
