HUNDREDTH LYRICS

1. Let Go

[Instrumental]

2. Weathered Town

Looking in the rear-view mirror at everything that I’m leaving behind.
I know this is right, I know it’s my time.
Now is my time to escape this weathered town and what this place is all about.

I’ve gotta get out of here, but the memories I’ll take with me.
Everywhere I go, to everyone I know. These memories will stay with me.
To escape this weathered town and what this place is all about.
These memories will stay with me... will stay... will stay with me.

And I don’t know... I don’t know if you’ll ever understand. You can say that it’s not worth it.
And you can say... you can say it’s a wasted life.
But the memories, I’ll take with me. These memories, they’ll stay with me.
The memories, I’ll take with me. These memories, they’ll stay with me.

Holding onto the past each day leaves me empty, wanting everything to be the way it was.
There are better days to come, I just have to... I have to let go... (let go, let go)
of the things that I have done and the ones who have moved on.

I’ve gotta get out of here, but the memories I’ll take with me.
Everywhere I go, to everyone I know. These memories will stay with me.
I’ll escape this weathered town and what this place is all about.
The memories, they’ll stay with me... they’ll stay... they’ll stay... they’ll stay... with me.

3. Live Today

I'm gonna live today, live to make a change.
There's comes a time in every life when it's time to move on.
and well hey, that what it is today, it's time to make a change.
I was never awake, just dreaming of the days
When things were said and never done.
But now this is the life I lead, living only to breathe
hope into humanity.
I made a promise to myself.
I promised I'd never go back
to thinking of this place as my wishing well.
It's the same ol' take, take, take
I gave up on the world and that's all I could give.
And I said I'll never go back to putting myself above the rest.
I held my chin up high, but that's all I could lift.
Inside of me was a void as empty as the sky without the sun.
I was never awake, just dreaming of the days
when things were said and never done.
But now this is the life I lead, living only to breathe
hope into humanity. I'm gonna live today.

4. We Can Take Them All

Is this the end of everything? It’s all falling down, it’s all crashing down.
Everyone’s telling me to focus on my dreams, but I can’t lift my head from the suffering below.
Sometimes I feel like there’s no hope for mankind.
Strapped down to tradition, chained to the lies we’ve been fed.
Has this gone too far? Can we sever the hand of power hanging over our heads?

We can take them all. Let them line up against our generation that says no.
We’re not standing for this. We’re bringing you to your knees. Turn your back on everything.
To expose the lies and greed that you beg us to buy into.

I know they’re all... I know they’re all... I know they’re all... I know they’re all... LIES.

Question everything, ’cause nothing’s what it seems.
And they gave fake a face, force-fed the American dream.
Shipped us overseas to be all we can be. We can’t justify murder with freedom isn’t free.

I challenge this generation to expand our minds and seek truth for ourselves.
I challenge this generation to not buy into the dreams set forth by man.
I challenge this generation to suffer without luxury and lend our greedy hands.
I challenge this generation to not... to not forsake the unseen.

5. Carry On

Carry on. Overcome.

The lies that floods our compromise. The day is getting darker.
Your past that fuels the pain inside. You can rise above it.
If you’ve fallen to your knees, don’t give up just yet.

We will overcome anything and everything standing in our way.
Let go of all the things that keep us from pressing on.

Lift your head from the soil, lift your head from the toil. Breathe in life and move forward.
Breathe in life and move forward. Breathe in life and move forward.

Set apart to succeed beyond what we can dream.
Watch us rise. Watch us rise! We will shatter negativity.
Watch us rise. Watch us rise! We will shatter negativity.

’Cause we were made for more.
I know that we were made to overcome anything and everything standing in our way.
Let go of all the things that keep us from pressing on.

Lift your head from the soil, lift your head from the toil.
Breathe in life and move forward. Breathe in life and move forward.

In the wake of the one’s we lost, we’ll let their legacy live through us.
We’ll carry on, while we watch everything go wrong (go wrong).

Carry on, I will overcome the world. Carry on, I will overcome the world. I will overcome...

6. Humane

We will bring fire to the empires. The imperial, they won’t prevail.
We will raise. Raise that banner above it all. While they weep and wail.
And we turn our heads and look away.

Redemptive violence, take a seat right where you stand.
Humanity, we are destroying ourselves again. (ourselves again)
Humanity, we are destroying ourselves. Humanity, we are destroying ourselves.
And I am no longer possessed by my possessions, that have costs behind my eyes.
Exploitation of innocence.

We spit in their faces, to keep ours looking prime.
We starve them of their freedom (freedom), to feed our lavish lives.
We put a price on their worth, to finance our greed.
And blindly pledge to a flag, when justice lies in a King.

We will bring fire to the empires. The imperial, they won’t prevail.
We will raise. Raise that banner above it all. While they weep and wail.
We will not... we will not be deceived (deceived).

We will raise the banner of love above all flags. Over any nation that vies our allegiance.
We will raise the banner of love above all flags. Over any nation that vies our allegiance.

7. Remain & Sustain

I can’t put back together all these pieces, if everything around me stays the same.
Why do I compromise the convictions that I have.
I am the only one to blame... to blame. I am the one to blame.

My life still gets lost behind these eyes of complacency.
Torn to shreds by monotony, but not today.
I need a change. I need a change. Let my pride come crashing down.

My dreams they will remain, my purpose it must sustain.
My dreams they will remain, my purpose it must sustain... sustain.

I’m putting back together all these pieces and everything around me’s not the same.
No longer do I compromise convictions that I have.
Everything now has changed... has changed. It’s all changed.

No longer am I lost behind these eyes of complacency.
I have control of everything... everything.
It had to change. It had to change. My pride came crashing down.

I was only holding myself back, from being all that I can.
I was only holding myself back, from being all that I can.

I was only holding myself back, from being all that I can.
I was only holding myself back, from being all that I can. (all that I can)

I was holding myself back... holding myself back... from being all I can... all I can.

8. Monumental Pt. 1

[includes an original audio sample of C.S. Lewis giving a broadcasted sermon]

"Give up yourself and you will find your real self. Lose your life and you will save it."

"Give up yourself and you will find your real self. Lose your life and you will save it."

"Even in literature or art no man who cares about originality will ever be original. It’s the man who’s only thinking about doing a good job or telling the truth who becomes really original, but doesn’t notice it. Even in social life, you never make a good impression on other people until you stop thinking what sort of impression you make. That principle runs all through life from the top to the bottom. Give up yourself and you will find your real self. Lose your life and you will save it. Submit to death, submit with every fibre of your being and you will find eternal life." - C.S. Lewis

It’s monumental for us to rise to the surface, just to breathe in some reality.
We’ve been drowning in uncertainty.

"Give up yourself and you will find your real self. Lose your life and you will save it."

9. Monumental Pt. 2

The world is in pieces, it’s falling apart. Our lives are being shut down.
Years gone by. When will we try not living for ourselves, not living for man.

The world... the world I see in front of me is full of things that should not be. (that should not be)

When will we change? When will we see who we are living for?
Are you living for yourself or something greater? It’s in your hands, be the creator.

For the dead and the living we must all bear witness.
The lives we lead are filled with uncertainty, but no hope means no reality.
Get it, hope is a reality.
The lives we lead are filled with uncertainty. Open your eyes, see the dark, find the light.

I opened the black blinds, and when I look:
the world... the world I see in front of me is full of things that should not be.

When will we see... when will we see... see change?
Remember, hope is a reality. Hope is a reality. Hope is a reality. Remember, hope is a reality.

10. I Hold The Key

I’m fed up... I’m fed up with the constant flow. Getting lost in the rhythm.
Cadences of disdain, melodies without satisfaction.
But the only thing... the only thing I have is time.

Risk lays the foundation of my destiny... destiny.
Risk lays the foundation of my destiny.

And if it crumbles, at least I know I tried. I can stand on that. Instead of questioning why...
Instead of questioning why I never chased down the man I want to be.
Buried deep inside of me is the door to what I’m meant to be.
And I... I hold the key... I hold the key. I hold the key. I hold the key.

I met myself in a dream. Innocent, adamant, adolescent me.
Don’t turn your back on me. Don’t turn your back on me.
This regret won’t tear through me (tear through me).
I’d rather fail... I’d rather fail than fail to be... myself.
This regret won’t tear through me (tear through me).
I’d rather fail... I’d rather fail than fail to be... myself.

11. Restless

[feat. guest vocals by Cody Bonnette of As Cities Burn / Hawkboy]

I’m not okay. I can’t find stability. I’m not okay. I can’t find stability.

Threading through my faith with a needle named doubt.
Putting it all together and then tearing it apart.
Throwing away the scraps and trying to restart.
Go back to the days when it was sunny and clean.
My soul stormed until it stopped trying to shine.
It settled for hazy messages from a black sky.
I still don’t know why (know why).
No question I threw up, came back, and I don’t know why.

Is this what I wanted to be? A restless soul wrestling with what I believe.
Or just a selfish soul blind to problems that tower over me (over me)... that tower over me.

[Cody Bonnette:]
Slow fade out. Sun burn and stay out. Clouds close like a mouth. ’Round last light and sound.
Don’t bother, save your breath. Could be the last you get.
Don’t bother, save your breath. Could be the last you get.

Am I jaded to the point where I can’t see
all of the beauty Your hands made, the world surrounding me.
I’m scared of what has come and what is to be. My heavy heart. The Earth will cover me.

12. Soul

If I had a fist for every time I’ve been trapped, I’d fight my way out and I’d never look back.
I’m lying down in the darkest places. I’m losing touch. I can’t see faces.
I feel like I’m alone, am I alone?

Dreams never come when I feel this way. I am a victim to everything around me.
They present deceit, packaged with lies, and try to unravel my demise.

I have to drive them out of my life. Pull the trigger on oppression. I’m ready to fight.
I’m rising up reminding myself: dark is the absence of light.

If you saw the depths of my soul, the sights they could never escape you.
My broken soul will try and haunt me, to the day that I die... to the day that I die.
My broken soul.

I’m cheatin’ on the sun... cheatin’ on the sun...
Cheatin’ on the sun... cheatin’ on the sun... cheatin’ on the sun with the moon.
Cheatin’ on the sun... cheatin’ on the sun... cheatin’ on the sun with the moon.
Soul... My broken soul.

13. Hurt

[Hidden Track]

[cover of Johnny Cash’s legendary adaptation of the Nine Inch Nails song]

I hurt myself today to see if I still feel. I focus on the pain, the only thing that’s real.
The needle tears a hole, the old familiar sting. Try to kill it all away, but I remember everything.

What have I become my sweetest friend? Everyone I know goes away in the end.
And you could have it all. My empire of dirt. I will let you down. I will make you hurt.

I wear this crown of thorns upon my liar’s chair. Full of broken thoughts that I cannot repair.
Beneath the stains of time the feelings disappear. You are someone else. I am still right here.

What have I become my sweetest friend? Everyone I know goes away in the end.
And you could have it all. My empire of dirt. I will let you down. I will make you hurt.

If I could start again, a million miles away, I would keep myself. I would find a way.

I will let you down. I will make you hurt. I will let you down. I will make you... I will make you hurt.
