KINGDOM OF GIANTS LYRICS

1. My Compromise

Every wave of sound
Has been pointing me in the right direction
It's telling me to move on from this protection

I'm trading my life for this I'm giving everything

I never thought it would all come down to this
But I never said I would settle for any less
My compromise is the only thing left
From this life that they have put on a pedestal

They came from the rooftops
The evil ones and their tainted endeavors
Where is my muse?
My point of view is gone because of you

Before I go, I'll leave a trail to follow
A path to show you the way
For all I know, this life I lead is hollow
Can someone show me the way, home?

My life, my pride
Is on the line this time
And I know why
I'll put the past behind
We have been ignored, we have been betrayed

I found my cathexis
Filling empty spaces I always knew were there
Rewriting my maps and chart a new course
For open water

Before I go, I'll leave a trail to follow
A path to show you the way
For all I know, this life I lead is hollow
Can someone show me the way, home?

Every wave of sound
Every wave of...

2. Obstacles

We are the power in everyone.
We are the dance of the moon and the sun.
We are the hope that will never hide.
We are the turning of the tides.

Left in the dark with our lives in your hands.
We trusted your judgement, you promised us fans.
Month after month we wrote checks in your name.
With nothing to show it's all part of the game.

We are the power in everyone.
We are the dance of the moon and the sun.
We are the hope that will never hide.
We are the turning of the tides.

Left in the dark with our lives in your hands.
We trusted your judgement you promised us fans.
Month after month we wrote checks in your name.
With nothing to show it's all part of the game.

This is all that we know, and to see us for what we've become:
A burning creation that has grown on our own.
We stand, we fight, to break ourselves into the light.
Leaving nothing to chance, nothing to luck.
Your only intention to make a quick buck, you fuck.

They'll make you an offer you can't refuse,
and they'll promise your dreams will come true.
Just be careful who you trust, you won't amount to much,
if you let them walk all over you.

Make sure you let them know,
That all is to move and grow.

We are the power in everyone.
We are the dance of the moon and the sun.
We are the hope that will never hide.
We are the turning of the tides.
We are the power in everyone.
We are the dance of the moon and the sun.
We are the hope that will never hide.
We are the turning of the tides.

Our patience is wearing thin, and our composure as short as your walls.
I want to hear you admit you were wrong.
Say it to my face, you knew it all along.
Our patience is wearing thin, and our composure as short as your walls.
I want to hear you admit you were wrong.
Say it to my face, you knew it all along.

Fire Burns Brighter In The Dark (Burns brighter in the dark)

This is a wake up call To all those living underground,
we need you here we need you now.
To all those living in the dark,
don't be afraid to speak your mind before they buy your heart. (Buy your heart)

We are the power in everyone.
We are the dance of the moon and the sun.
We are the hope that will never hide.
We are the turning of the tides.
We are the power in everyone.
We are the dance of the moon and the sun.
We are the hope that will never hide.
We are the turning of the tides.
We are the power in everyone.
We are the dance of the moon and the sun.
We are the hope that will never hide.
We are the turning of the tides.

3. In Focus

This is a war of art.

How many times you've said,
"Do you remember when?"
Reliving memories to justify the choices you have made.

Seeking accomplishments, but I am not one of many hopes.
You live in a memory, your memory is but a ghost.
You can't keep learning, you can't be living.

You have no concern for your future or what you're meant to be.
How can we kill time without injuring eternity?

All it takes is one wasteful goodbye.
After that one you'll be wasting your time.
Why don't you stand up? Don't throw it away.
With your hands up you'll waste your life.

So tell me, what will be left when you've drained the light from every soul?
Content to walk inside the shadows of your dreams.

And I don't want to leave any moment uncaptured.
Any newborn discovery is welcome.
And I'm no longer chasing a dead dream, it's taken a part of me.

This is the moment you've been waiting for.

All it takes is one, wasteful goodbye.
After that one you'll be wasting your time.
Why don't you stand up? Don't throw it away.
With your hands up you'll waste your life.

Where is the passion? I used to see it in your eyes.
Your inspirations are setting with the sun.
There is no guide to tell you how to live your life.
But one thing is clear : You're only living to survive.
I'm waking up.

When it's all said and done, and they're digging your grave.
Looking back upon your life, what will they be able to say?

4. Delusionist

Every second I waste, every moment away
I've taken ever breath I think I can take
I'm done with all the games
You claim that you can change but it's over
It's over

Take back everything you ever gave to me
Absolve your surroundings

I've never met someone so distracting
With all your talk you'll never do a damn thing.

Walking away, finally I can keep all of my feelings at bay
I can get this off of my chest
Your hearts filled with secrets and regrets
You never wanted more than a puppet and with my hands tied
You throw your blindfolds aside to the wind
I don't want to hear your words again
Speaking silently through the voices in my head

And now inside I'm feeling alive cause` it's over
It's over

These sidewalks have tested my endurance
And left my conscious mind in a state that I cant escape from

Fuck you and your negativity
Keep your shallow visions lacking empathy
Fuck you and your narrow minded ways
Always judging us before you know our name

Walking away, finally I can keep all of my feelings at bay
I can get this off of my chest
Your heart's filled with secrets and regrets
You never wanted more than a puppet and with my hands tied
You throw your blindfolds aside to the wind
I don't want to hear your words again
Speaking silently through the voices in my head

Walking away works for the best
Finally I can get this off of my chest
This has been building up in me
This has been building up
Walking away

5. Voltage

Now it's clear to see, our world is decaying.
And now I believe, it will take every one of us left to change a thing.
(Change a thing)

What are we waiting for? Tell me, what are we waiting for?
We've worked too hard and lived too long, to let this fail when we are gone.
When we are gone, what will be left to carry on the legacy
Of who we are and what we're meant to be?

They promised everything would be ok.
We trusted every word they ever said.
It's finally clear, we're better on our own.
On our own.

We've seen enough, we've heard enough, it's time the tables have turned.
This ends tonight, (this ends tonight).
We are the masons of our lives.
The architect, the guiding light. We are the masons of our life.

Our hope is dying, in the street. But no one seems to care.
They're just our fantasies, anyway.
Why should we settle for an unconscious mind and a restricted voice,
When we can rise up and gain?
Gain the power to embrace our triumphs, despite anything they may say.
Without reserve, this ends tonight, our hearts still burn.
Our hearts still burn.

And now that I've seen it, I know that you're giving up.
You must go on, (you must go on).
Reach the end, reach the end.
Our hearts still burn.

6. Hope

We lay under the starlight
Trying to find a way home
We live, we strive
To make our way through
This life between us and our hearts

And I won't be surprised
When looking to the sky
If you ever came back for me
I will be here waiting
And if it isn't true
And if these feelings grew
I will be here waiting
Whatever the future brings

7. Broken Ocean

You can see them for miles
You can count them for days
Overlooking the ground where the dead soldiers lay

There is a lesson to be learned from this
The gathering clouds of war can be extinguished

How far are you willing to take this
How far are you willing to go
Are you ready to go

Whether we win or lose
We've lost too much to compare the two
Whose side are you, whose side are you on?
Don't let the small smudges blur out the big picture
You fucking be the one to tell their mothers
Their sons are never coming home

You try to wash the blood off your hands
But the oil's too thick it won't come clean
It seems you've tried everything
From black water to gasoline

We are staring down the mother of all messes
This is so ridiculous
Do you have any idea what our children have in store?
They will be fighting our wars
Paying our debts
They will suffer the outcome of our own regrets
And it's a sad fact to face to know
That this is the truth

Their words stagger like a drunken man
Manipulative like the bottle in his hand
Is the the world I see in front of me
A world before
Is this the world I see in front of me
A world of war

This is a game of chess and we are all the pawns
It's just a pattern they expect us to follow
It's just a pill they give that's too big to swallow

You try to wash the blood off your hands
But the oil's too thick it won't come clean
It seems you've tried everything
From black water to gasoline

So tell their mothers their sons are never coming home
You fucking be the one to bring that news back home

Self righteous you stand on your hill at the top
It's a beautiful view but how much did it cost
You can see them for miles
You can count them for days
Over looking the ground where the dead soldiers lay
Some young and some old, a family a friend
These are women these are children
What will it take for an end.

8. Vice Versa

"Be brave, don't back down"
These words are an echo to an ending
Passive I may seem but anger brews beneath

I watched their loyalty drift away
While my heart just sinks like a stone

How dare you step on my feet
To make up for your insecurities
What lies behind us and what lies before us
Are tiny matters compared to what lies within

We build, everything that you destroy
The hands of time aren't on your side here anymore
It seems like you have nowhere left to turn
You've found your way out
Now go find a place to fucking burn

And I hope you're happy now
Living in a world where no one ever wants you around
Marked with an "x" you're now a silhouette
Once a mountain of a man but you're a little bitch

I've grown tired of being angry
It's starting to wear me down
I'm done waiting for you
To come around you never gave a shit anyhow
I've grown tired of being angry
It's starting to wear me down

Don't ever run from your fears

You put your name on the line and now it's written in stone
I put my world in your hands you left me out in the cold
Whatever helped you sleep? I hope you're up counting sheep.
You put your name on the line and now it's written in stone
I put my world in your hands
You left me in the cold
I hope you know

We build, everything that you destroy
The hands of time aren't on your side here anymore
It seems like you have nowhere left to turn
You've found your way out
Now go find a place to fucking burn

Don't ever run from your fears

9. Guns And Girls

This source of pain is all that's left of you.
This misery is all because of you.
End this life
Not that you would care.
Take these dreams
Watch your fucking step.
I won't be walked upon,
Watch your step and I'll watch mine
'Til the day we take our own paths.

Held down by these things you've created,
They pierce the flesh and poison the mind.
Poison the mind!

Pray now for the life that you think that you deserve.
There is more to life than living with regret.
Life is a gift.

You held the syndicate but gave into lies.
Forget the times I spent captured by your eyes,
I cannot believe I wasted my time.
Forget the lies, the pain is all in your mind.
I let this go.
Your turn to fucking move on.
Forget the lies, the pain is all in your mind.
Now let this go home.

And I'm still working on the fact
That this is just a symptom and I'm going through phases.
When this world fades to black like all the universe is now
I'll be calling your name.
And if your heart should judge me for the little work I've done,
Where will you go?

There is more to life than living with regret.
Life is a gift.
Life is a gift.
Even with all of these flaws, promise not to change.

I'm still working on the fact that this is just a symptom and I'm going through phases.
But when your heart should judge me for what little work I've done,
Where will you go?
You've been holding on forever and I just don't understand
Everything that I remember, I will soon enough forget
And what did you teach me?
To never miss a note, no, no, no, no,
Where did you go?

10. Griever

I never used to dream like this.
Sifting through the sand.
Searching for something worth keeping.
Something to believe in.
I never lie awake at night.
Staring at the ceiling.
For the answers I'm seeking.
Is anybody listening?

I hear you knocking at my door, but I'm not ready. (Not Ready)
I sense you glaring down my back. I feel the hairs are standing on my neck.
I'm not afraid of you, is that all you've got?

I've, been through it all.
You've taken my father and brother and left my whole family alone.
Stronger we grow.
Closer together yet so far apart.

Standing face to face with darkness.
I can see it in your eyes.
And as much as you hate to admit it.
I will live another night.

If it weren't for the mistakes I've made along the way.
I wouldn't be where I am today.
I look to the decisions set in place.
To shape the character of the future me.
While others put theirs hopes on a shelf,
and let their lives be controlled by someone else.
I stand tall.
And I believe in myself.

You know me well enough by now.
(I believe in myself)
Look at what yo've started, over my dead body,
will I ever let you haunt me again.

I know that I am far from perfect.
But this pain should prove I'm worth it.
With all these choices, what brought you here to me?
I've learned so much, and I have lived to little.
What makes you think that you will take this from me.

I never used to dream like this.
Sifting through the sand.
Searching for something worth keeping.
Something to believe in.
I never lie awake at night.
Staring at the ceiling.
For the answers I'm seeking.
Is anybody listening?

I'm done waiting in line for my life to fall in place.
Afraid to close my eyes.
So death will have no chance to show his face.
He'll have no chance to show his face.
I'll be the one to dig my grave.
But only when I'm ready.
I'll be the one to dig my grave.

So come at me now.
With everything that you've got.
I'll be waiting here.
With one arm behind my back.

11. MJ Returns

[feat. Stephen Rezza]

Too long, too long, too long we've been waiting on.
Too long we've been waiting on the sun to fall so we can live it up.
Too long we've been waiting on the sun to fall so we can live it up.

These are more than good intentions, I've given everything I have,
This is more than a positive message, you'll never catch me looking back.
Now walk that narrow path and never go astray, your's has gotten you nowhere,
But look where mine has taken me.

There's way too many of us, struggling through everyday,
This is a home where troubles are withered away,
This is my one chance, I live it day by day,
There's nothing stopping us now, there's not a thing in our way.

What, can I say, where can I go.
This, road, feels like home. Oh.

Too long we've been waiting on the sun to fall so we can live it up,
Too long we've been waiting on the sun to fall so we can live it up.

While you're dreaming, I'll be living,
While you wait for what you think you deserve,
I will appreciate every move my body gives me to make,
Until the day I lay still.

I have seen the world but you have only heard my screams,
I have shared my words and you have looked into my dreams.
I know you fear the worst, and I know that you have a choice,
All I ask is one thing, put your trust in my voice.

And I know you fear the worst,
And I know that you have a choice,
So put your trust in my voice.

Too long we've been waiting on the sun to fall so we can live it up.

Too long, too long, too long we've been waiting on.

Too Long we've been waiting on the sun to fall so we can live it up.
