- Avalanche
I can’t stop screaming these words over again.
Until breath escapes and my chest caves in.
It doesn’t matter where I’ve been. Can’t give in, and shut down.
Just breathe in and breathe out and begin.
I shook the hand of doubt so I could sever the lines that he spits from his mouth.
And now it’s time to pull through. Something I must do with or without you.
I’ve been here one time, two times, now three times before.
- Between The Lines
But when the spotlight comes, where have the words gone?
The fall from grace is paved with your lies.
Stand strong behind your beliefs, if you can even manage to stand at all.
What happened to the blood pumping through your veins?
You’ve scattered the ashes of an iron faith.
The sun fades below the horizon, and you say goodbye to what used to be.
- Blank Pages
We're from a long line of people running from themselves.
Let's look alive. The sun is blocked out from sight. All days turn to night.
I'm done running from myself. I speak for no one else. No.
Everyday in succession. Until we come undone. Nah.
This is me. This is you.
Yeah, we're coming unglued.
Like a page pulled from the bind.
- Chrono
Time is a funny thing. You spend the first part of your life wanting it to just speed up, and the rest of your life wishing it would slow down. Chrono is about taking a step back, and making the most of the time you can control; right now.
"
Rushing in and out, and in and out of my mind (I'm out of my mind). We live and obey with some kind of hate. Dreading the time to come when we've got no time at all. I want to take the time to stop and think about doing this, and what it might mean to be. When I close my eyes, there's nothing but darkness revealed. It’s right there in front of me. Looking forward for a taste of things to come. I can't see familiar faces on anyone. Life is trying to pass me by, but not this time. I am not afraid. You're not getting older; you're just getting old. And your finish wears thin as your stories get told. Yet you've somehow impressed her; she's already sold. The one page in your book that's still shining in gold says, "Wishing for the years to flash by has left me blind. I’m waiting for the few fleeting moments where the world makes sense to me." My search continues for a taste of things to come. I can't see familiar faces on anyone. Life is trying its best to pass by, but not this time. I am not afraid.
- Dark Horse
True dedication most just do not posses
When push becomes shove, can you rise above the rest?
Waves of words, they fall short and crash at my feet
Such are the ways of the weak
"I'm not scared!" It's all that I know
Done nothing but travel without knowing where to go
I've been digging up bones
- Dear Youth
The second hand looks like a knife. As it’s counting down the rest of our lives.
So hard to swallow. No steps to follow. It became so hard to survive.
Dear youth, what was your one big plan?
You made us believe we had the world in our hands.
We left home with nowhere to go. Facing our fears as we brave the unknown.
All I have to keep are these jaded old memories from screams of how it used be.
- Destined
Making the choice of being here or there,
is the hardest thing I've had to do.
Its not as clear and concise as one would think. I'm following my hopes and dreams, and doing what's right for me.
A line was drawn, my choice was made
Given the chance, I'll make you proud of me
- Engine 45
Grab ahold of me, I've got my arms up.
Pull me out from this darkness.
It's so hard for me to see so light up the end of that tunnel.
If it's a war you came to see you will never see a waved white flag in front me.
I cant end up dead, I wont be misled.
I'll keep singing this song inside my head.
- Faith Or Forgiveness
Three years, and counting, a long time for any endeavors.
Just get us away from here
I have something you should know, that this will never end,
And our legs will forever hold these scars.
There's something you should know, there's more to this story,
We'll never fade, and our arms will forever have these scars.
- Mercy
For whom the bell tolls
There's a hurricane raging inside me
The second wave is right there behind me
Don't leave me alone, as this fire burns whole
Before there's nothing left to atone
Breathe new life into me
Send waves to crash right through me
- Move Me
I leave behind this sentiment to the man that I'll become.
Telling him not to be burdened by the things that I have done.
The longest days and endless nights have become the routine.
Far beyond frustration. It's the end to all my means.
Constantly incomplete.
With my back against the wall, I stack brick by brick.
- My Endnote
Consider this my endnote to be read when I’m gone.
I have always been looking for this, dying for this, but It seems I've lost track.
This is everything I believed in. This is what I'll take back.
We won’t compete. I won’t fight for a throne that doesn’t exist.
We won’t compete. Everything we have is lost through arrogance.
We won’t compete. I won’t fight for a throne that doesn’t exist.
We won’t compete. It’s only us who feel the consequence.
- Out Of Control
It appears that we can’t rely on common sense.
Let’s act our age and turn the page on this intolerance.
Because we’re not meant to live like this. By-products of ignorance.
This is out of control, it’s out of control, it’s gotta go. You’re scared of what you don’t know.
I’ll say this over again, and over again, until it ends. A house divided will never stand.
Always failing to be accepting cause hatred stems from uncertainty.
- Outlive
We're so disconnected but not misdirected.
They think that we are nothing, but I believe in something more.
You watch the clock wind down and let the days go by.
You justify the time you've spent, but all you do is make the rent.
We'll be buried with our memories, and you'll just be dead.
I'll live forever, and you'll just die in vain.
- Phoenix Flame
Breathe in, breathe out, breathe
I'll never be what you think I should be
No, not today
I'll never say all the things I should say
I'm only human
More often than not, you're gonna feel alone
- Shiner
Pages past and pointed to, lost along the way, never knowing infinity. And only one thing is certain, tragedy.
The swell and storm, tides rise and wash away remembrance. Syphon through the sand, force felt through time. Radiate.
Shine on, Shine on, from the inside out.
Shine on, Shine on, don't ever dim.
Settle down and waste away. Deafened. Muted. And Blind.
- Slipping Away
My youth is getting older. It got left out in the bitter cold.
Now I put it on the back burner where it doesn’t belong.
Where did I go wrong?
Let me stop to ask the question, “Will I ever get the chance to repeat?”
I feel this more and more everyday. Take me back to when I used to believe.
Nothing could prepare you, but we try our best.
- Test The Limits
I could tell you what you want to hear to hold you off another year.
But I hope the truth finds you well.
A common praise. A passing phase.
Moving forward? Not today!
The limit's in the sky, but will you be reaching it tonight?
Tonight you got to test the limits and tell yourself that.
"I'm alive!" Just make that choice and draw that line tonight.
- The Conflict
Let's put an end to this once and for all.
We've found strength in numbers.
And when your time runs out, what will you believe?
I'm in no search for salvation or sanity.
Your words are bringing me down.
Just leave me be.
A sinking ship, escape from these shackles at home.
Now I'm led to your bleeding heart, and I'm standing alone.
- The Great Unknown
Sometimes we get so low
Downsides are all we see
Your world is swallowed whole
And now you're all alone waiting for me
I put my faith in the ones
I trust to stick it out
Who never tuck their tail and run
That's what friendship's all about
- The Other Half
We believe in a system that has long been broken.
We turn the other cheek without a glimpse of emotion.
Always looking out for number one. Why do you need more while others have none?
Measure my worth by what I’ve done, not what I’ve become.
I spanned the oceans. I’ve seen the skies. That’s all I’m ever gonna need to get by.
My favorite things in life, aren’t even things at all.
- Thirty Three
I was lead to believe, but now I know for sure.
When the wind's knocked out of me.
Only one thing that can be cure and bring me to my feet.
When all the words just relate.
I just hit play, and when the record comes to an end.
I'll listen all over again.
Truth is, I'm taking a step back and taking some time to think.
- Through The Cracks
Pride and pity play no part of the process.
Like allegiance lost in hellfire, I've lost it all.
Tell the maker of my grave that I'm not dead.
There's far too many things in life I left unsaid.
Any face and any place to tell me none of this was in vain.
I'd live this all again, if you'd do the same.
So to the shadows I disappear.
- Unspoken
I've got something here worth fighting for. (Give it all)
Give me everything that you've got.
Its all for one, or its none for all.
You're giving me the reason to keep coming back again and again. (Give it all)
Not a single voice unheard or unspoken.
I'm not passing time, not along for the ride.
You're the fuel to my fire, now watch me burn.
Who needs fame, and who needs fortune?
- Wide Eyed
This is not a dream cause I am not asleep.
I’ll need more than a metaphor if I want to earn my keep.
My head is in clouds. My feet are on the ground. Even if I fall I’ll always stand proud.
I'll carry my weight where brave dare go.
Through sleet, through rain, I'll trail courses unknown.
I'll carry my weight making sand out of stone.
I'll blaze this trail alone and take the long road.
