1. 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,
And we might not be here tomorrow.
We have to make the best of every second we have.
This could be the last time I breathe in.

That I breathe in.
That I breathe in.
That I breathe in.

Because there are things upon this earth
we as human beings are not meant to endure,
like being subject to an overall judgmental society.
It makes me sick to know that my life will be
represented by the world we are in now.

Get me out. Just get me out of this world.
This is something that I fear time cannot heal for me.
Everyday it's getting harder to find the energy.
Get me out. Just get me out of this world.
This is something that I fear time cannot heal for me.
Everyday it's getting harder to find the energy.

Today is yesterday's tomorrow,
And we might not be here tomorrow.
We have to make the best of every second we have.
This could be the last time I(we) breathe in.

It makes us sick to know that our lives will be
represented by this world that we are existing in now.
(Get me out, get me out, get me out.)
It makes us sick to know that our lives will be
represented by this world that we are existing in now.
(Get me out, get me out, get me out.)

2. 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?
Like time has shown me, so many times before.
How much longer can my will last me throughout this lifetime?
I struggle to find who I am anymore.

I know now that who I am is better than who I used to be.
If this is all I am, then so be it, this is all I can be.
I know now that who I am is better than who I used to be.
If this is all I am, then so be it, this is all I can be.
All I can be.

I am the author of my life.
And I'm writing in pen, and I can't rub out my mistakes.

There are many things that aren't what they seem in this world,
Friendship is the best example of these.
I find myself questioning more and more every single day.
How much longer can we hold our brothers to these flames?
And the people who have meant so much to us?

I know now that who I am is better than who I used to be.
If this is all I am, then so be it, this is all I can be.
I know now that who I am is better than who I used to be.
If this is all I am, then so be it, this is all I can be.

3. Refusing To Live Under The Tyranny Of Others

I'm reaching out, for the first time.
This is my call to the world,
this is my call to the world.
I'm reaching out.
There will never be a last time.
Go and learn, because there's things in me
that I've seen, inside us all.
Now you will learn that its day to day,
that's how I've learned these things.
I'm reaching out.
And there will never be a last time.
This is my call to the world.
Seeing as your the giant and I'm just little me
I will just stand here in complacency
and not say a Fucking thing.
This is my life, my voice is to be heard.
This is a world that we all share,
I refuse to stand here,
towered with fear, any longer.
You are you and I am me.
That will always and forever be.
I refuse to live under your tyranny.
We're all here to live our lives,
I won't live in fear any longer.
It's the steps in life we take
that make us who we are.

4. 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,
and change hearts, and change time.
You would never see us more fulfilled, then we are now.
Waking up to the same scenery leaves me empty.
Doorways becoming heavier, hourly.
And I know, its just apart of getting older.
I remember when you sat me down, arm around my shoulder.
And you said "The greatest reward is of sacrifice"
Waking up to the open road, everyday, keeps me yearning.
Doorways becoming lighter, hourly.
This is who we are, the ones of sacrifice.
This is who we are the ones of sacrifice.

5. Trial And Tribulation

Strength, comes in time.
The strength to push me through these days,
the strength to find an epiphany.
I have learned these things from barriers,
trial and tribulation.
And running from, the crumbling edges
that present themselves on our paths in life.
I will survive.
I know that everything I have in my life
is from those who truly care or resent me.
Life, is so eventful, and the things we learn.
This is sadly something some may never (some however), know.
I am thankful for everything that I have (to give).
It gets so frustrating when people build walls,
can we tear them down?
We can tear them down.
We need to find the strength inside ourselves and open up.
We need to find the strength in side ourselves to tear these Walls down.

6. 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.
Will I see? When the things change in this world,
we can't always change with them.
But look ahead, and find those things
that are brighter than our hearts, only at this time.
You and I understand, that what the future may bear
can never wear thin the callouses and what we have become.
Few are radiant in this world while most are fading.
I can see it in your eyes your captivated.
There comes a moment in each others lives,
where we must face the facts,
that the people we love, and the things we do,
can't always be the things that we strive for.

7. 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,
it's hard not to run away.
But we must capture and embrace.
It's how we truly live our lives.

We will be everything we have been dreaming of.

When I look in the mirror what I see,
is the only thing that I can be.
I come to you now, defenses down.
Defenseless now.
When you look at me I want to be,
everything you want to see.
I come to you now defenses down.
Defenseless now.

8. 11:11

Forced to wake everyday, but never really waking up.
Like a cross I must bear, accepting this, is the hardest part.
White towers fill my mouth. Breathe in, in mere moments,
this will pass, and things will change.
Waiting. Embracing calm before the storm.
Wondering what the future may have in store.
As I ponder these things, what's happening to me?
My breathing is normal, my eyes are open,
but nothings in front of me.
I have been here before
but I can't seem to find my way out this time.
I'm staring out the window and I'm seeing my ideal life
but I can't seem to find the latch to open it up.
Will I be Back? Can we make our way back?
I knew these things, happened often,
but what happened to me?
It's reality now because,
this must mean that I've lost everything.
Can we make our way back?
Times like these I feel so vulnerable and mass-less.
I know that this shield from the sun will lift.
We will walk the brittle lines
and our name will stand the test of time.
This will bring everything to light.
11:11. Haunts me. And now I'm wondering, will I be back?

9. 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.
I have my life to live. The standards that I have are my own.
I won't, I can't join in. This is for me.
Few have tried so hard to reignite the blaze
we've held in our hearts for so long.
But those days are all long gone.
We will live our lives, because the one this world
has been living for us makes us sick inside.
Now I push these stones to you.
Take them from my chest and let the sight return to my eyes.
Let the air return to my lungs.
Take these things, that I carry, and let them push onto you.
Now you can feel the weight that I've carried, for years.

10. 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,
I find these are my darkest days.
In heart and mind I find it hard to remain myself
when everything is collapsing around me.
Can we remain awake long enough to feel again?
Can we retain enough thought to feel brand new again?
Can we remain? Awake enough to truly feel again?
Can we embrace? Will I ever know how many steps to climb?
And what it will take for me to wake and embrace this path.
And isn't it enough that every breath I give
falls short of what this life demands.
So here I stand, to capture and embrace
everything that will come my way.
