- A Martyr's Journey
Forever, is the focus, we've put on these dreams.
Sometimes we have to ask ourselves, is it worth it?
Is all this worth it? I can't be put to blame, for any of this.
It feels too good to runaway. I can't just runaway.
In desolation, I pick myself up everyday.
How the hell am I standing here?
And who had the say to spit me from the womb into this world?
I know I'm a martyr, I'm not asking for sympathy.
- About Failing
Oh how cruel can'this world be?
Can we grow? Can we learn? Can we breathe?
If I must lay myself to sleep, am I guaranteed?
Will I see? Another day upon this beautiful, pristine earth...
I have lived my life, my choices, exact. To a tee.
And no one can take that away from me.
Life. My life was comfortable.
Blind pride. The time has come for me.
- At Least Understand
I only hope you understand the invigoration that has filled me within these past coming years
I have felt more than any other living being on this earth,
I was born with a resentment only few can understand
But to capture everything I'm yearning for within this moment,
Is a feat most men can't comprehend within their lifetime
I have fallen from grace in your eyes
Only to ache, from the will to return to the place in your heart
- Blanket the World
I never thought pushing the things I never wanted away would be such a
Trial and test of who I am.
I never knew how clear it was on the other side of what I used to be. Now I
Stand,
Where I am. Above every single judgement that's been pressed upon me.
You try and blanket the world, with time. How happy we felt,"All because
You hold."
All because you've held on for far too long. All because you never learned
- Break Away
Living in a world of tradition, I'll break myself away.
We all need to go our own way and chase all the horizons.
You need to feel for yourself and break paths with those that will blind you.
A man that tells you how to feel is a man that will tear you down.
They're only depriving from themselves the experience that could define who they are.
But we will find ours. We will find it.
We will accept from the world all that it has to offer. We're not blinded.
We carry the fire inside ourselves, and we will burn the tyrant beside us.
- Brothers to the Flames
I am the author of my life.
And I'm writing in pen, and I can't rub out my mistakes.
If I could start again in life, I would repeat all my mistakes.
They make us who we are in this world.
Making changes everyday, but it seems so empty,
I try so hard, but I am only a man.
How much longer can my brow damn these beads of sweat
before they sting my eyes?
- Cage With Gold Bars
Knowing this life is up to you is something you have to hold onto.
There's no textbook for this life. No saying what's right for me. I'm not settling. I'm still listening. Just not buying in.
Your wealth and possessions don't impress me. Or your life. You can call it what you will but your paradise is still a cage with gold bars.
I want to know what it feels like to hold it in my hands and heart. And let the warmth bask over me. The feeling of being alive; hold it. You never know when its leaving. Let the course that's supposed to be, happen.

- Capture And Embrace
The fragility of a days time, is never enough to capture,
the essence of our most sought after lives.
Now, we sleep. Why are we so tired?
Exhaustion just blurs everything.
Now we must wake and seize.
Invigorate once again and embrace everything.
Everything. Everything.
And there are times when my mind won't receive anything,
- Defenses Down
All the times we have shared and all the memories I have,
brought me back to square one.
Now I'm running on empty.
Only you could pick me up,
without thinking twice,
you wrapped your arms around me.
When we find truth inside ourselves,
- Glimpse
Tearing at the foundation of who I am and what I've come to be.
It's always been a constant war between the world and me.
Putting thought into my every step. Keeping positive thoughts in mind.
To no avail, the constant tests of my will are relentless.
My life has passed me by. I must re obtain it.
It seems so impossible. But I will take the steps to have it again.
- Holes
I will never see the outside again. From this hole that I fell into back
Then.
So many people with closed minds. Who need to see things from the outside.
At least one time.
I feel alive. But there's something missing always.
Change is something I need to see constantly within myself. My friends and
The world.
We are lifetimes away from this. And I'm just starting to see it.
- It Starts Today
Demons have always made a home in my head Lately they've found a place in friends instead, Demons have always found a place in my head Lately they've found a place in friends instead. x2 Dark days, time to dig graves Put them to rest before they do the same. Dark days, x2 Put them to rest before they do the same. Last call, sick of it all With this backbone, you won't find me so small.
- Placed In My Hands
I can truly feel the abandon, standing in this world that you've left me in.
I can see you staring back through the doorway, your eyes look brighter
than the day that the light of the world first touched them.
Without love we
live for what? We live for nothing. And you, reached out to me. But you were
reaching for anything. Or anyone. At any given point in time. Pieces of you,
- Something More
Looking in your eyes I knew you were the one who would hold me close,
the one that wouldn't let go.
I have an open heart to change,
the ones I love sometimes do say things
and turn and walk away from me.
But thats okay the hardest part about leaving you, man,
is learning to let go and pick your battles.
- The Greatest Reward
This is who we'are, the ones of sacrifice.
We will not be judged, for we have lost so much.
So let's go, to the deepest' place in your heart
and find the one thing that you want most,
would you give everything that you have just to taste it?
It begins to become something so much more than just a dream,
are you capable enough to capture it?
Even if you could take our world and take our lives,
- Thirst for a Better End
I cannot walk alone, and as I walk I must make the pledge that I will march ahead, and not look back with anger
But with a resolution
Extend your hand what's there to lose? What I stand for won't be abused by your words this time
Embrace what we have
This is a moment that we'll never forget
This is for me, and for you, and for us
Step inside a world of difference, you love to hate so much it fuels my thirst for a better end
Instead of a knife in my back, I'll pull it through with my own hands
- Today Is yesterday's Tomorrow
Though hard times seem to be pressed against us,
I see a light ahead now,
And the time has come for each of us to go,
And learn,
And become what we have been dreaming of.
Just get me out.
Today is yesterday's tomorrow,
