V1

Everybody tries but makes mistakes in their lives,
I cannot reject them cause I've made them all,
Maybe once, probably twice,
Everytime I move forward I take 14 steps back,
How can I relax when attacks climax,
Whips crack, never seem to impact though,
Long ago,
I was told,
Never let go of your soul,
Never stop,
Let it roll,
People always take their toll,
Everyday I'm strugglin',
Chin's up but the thoughts are bubblin',
Boilin' over,
Burnin' bridges,
Invalid values,
Can't change the switches.

Chorus

I can't seem to let go
Take your time just take it slow

V2

Everything around me, just astounds me,
And surrounds me with walls,
I can never comprehend why and how,
Keeps me withdrawn,
Everybody else feels emotions,
From what they've been taught,
As I feel,
What nature intended,
Distraught....
How this world works,
Fuckin' travesty,
How can it be?
Money over everything,
Material suffering,
Diamonds and pearls valued over life,
Lil' boys and girls starve every night,
Keep lookin out,
Tryin to find the light,
I try so hard but never make it right.

Chorus

Bridge

What have we become
When we as a species
Regect nature for artificial
Neglect each other because it's beneficial
Murder children in the name of God
Imprison each other over plants
Is this what was intended
Or what we made it to be
Because I cannot see your ways
As we cause our own extinction
Can you say with honesty
That our laws are what make us safe
Or what tear us apart
Because in my heart
I feel the greed of mankind

What have we become,
Don't let us slip away,
I long for better days,
While happiness fades away,
But I won't let it bring me down,
Theres always a sweeter sound,
Find comfort in what's around,

V3
Now is our time,
Now it's our chance,
Don't just try to fan the flames,
Time to take a stand and march,
And rise against their games,
Paint our own future,
In our own frame,
With our own brush,
Make our own name,
Stand up and exclaim,
WE ARE NOT THE SAME

Individual,
Indivisable,
Unconditional,
Not Residuals,
Feed me to the wolves,
But I'll bounce back and attack,
Step the fuck back,
We're the key to society
We are everything,
Won't go silently,
Our own demise is our own lies,
Open your eyes
And we will rise

What about hope
What about peace
What about life
What about dreams
Not about you
Not about war
Not about greed
I am not yours
