I am not a king, you're not a prophet
You're not a prophet
I hear all these words you speak
Why don't you steal their soul?
My body's breaking
From the hearts you've choked
You've choked
Now I'm left contemplating
All the things you said when you inspired me
Do you remember me?
Do you remember me?
Place your face on the edge of the throne
You'll never speak again
Place my hands beneath your soul
You'll never speak again
I was just like them
You'll never speak again
I am not a king
I am not a king
You are not a prophet
I believe that there's a king
There's a king, a throne out there
And we will see his face one of these days
I believe that there's a king
There's a king, a throne out there
And we will see his face one of these days
Do you see what you're doing?
You're taking hopes and dreams
You're taking hopes and dreams from these kids
You'll never speak again
I was just like them
You'll never speak again
Cause I am not taking this anymore
I believe that there's a king
There's a king, a throne out there
And we will see his face one of these days
I believe that there's a king
There's a king, a throne out there
And we will see his face one of these days
Your time will come if you don't wake up
When everyone and everything is gone
Where will you be?
Where will you be?
Where will you be?
Where will you be?
Your time will come
If you don't wake up
Your time will come
If you don't wake up
This table used to hold a “dinner”
This house used to home a “family”
Not anymore
Those days have come and gone
Those days have come and gone
Looking back now I don't remember much
I spent my whole life trying to prove my worth (I had no place)
I was sheltered from this world
I lost all hope, there was no God
Fight for what you're longing for
Hold tight, life has its funny ways
Follow your heart when you can't think straight
Life has its funny ways
I can only "Thank you"
You made me who I am today
Looking back now
I don't remember much
I've faced my fears
I've become a better man
I've faced my fears
But my heart's still bitter
I can only "Thank you"
You made me who I am
Fight for what you're longing for
Hold tight, life has its funny ways
Follow your heart when you can't think straight
Life has its funny ways
Fight for what you're longing for
Hold tight, life has its funny ways
Follow your heart when you can't think straight
Life has its funny ways
This table used to hold a dinner
This house used to home a family
Not anymore
Those days have come and gone
Those Days Have Come and Gone...
I built these roads
To find a new hope
A real home
I've been choked
I've felt the weight of a thousand thorns
To hit this stage when I want nothing more
I built these walls
To home the family of the broke and burned
We fell with the things we couldn't see
He picked us back up with his hands that bleed
I know it's hard
I know this pain...
When the ones you love kick you to the streets
We are the bruised and broken
And we refuse to be like you
We are the bruised and broken
And we refuse to be like you
We are the ones who are bruised and broken
We all refuse to be like you
Just open your eyes
There is not much to see
This world is full of hate
And it's the love we need
We won't run
This is our destiny
This is our destiny
God!
Won't you please help them?
Why won't you please help them?
Why won't you please fix this?
Please help them!
Why won't you please help them?
Why won't you please fix this?
We are the bruised and broken
And we refuse to be like you
We are the bruised and broken
And we refuse to be like you
We are the ones who are bruised and broken
We all refuse to be like you
Oh I can't seem to shake this sight (shake this sight)
The sky it burned
And it rained of ashes
We are the bruised and broken
We are the bruised and broken
We are the bruised and broken
And we refuse to be like you
[feat. Micah Kinard of Oh, Sleeper]
Can we take on the weight of the world?
This corrupt world
Can we take on the weight of the world?
This corrupt world
I know we fell short many times before
We can't do this all on our own
Our generation takes the task
Wake up we've gotta pick up the slack
Our generation takes the task
We will rise up
We will rise up
Put on the armor of God
We will rise up
We will rise up
If we shy away
How can we create change?
Fight for the one we believe in
Our generation takes the task
I'm not fighting with myself anymore
No longer wrestling with flesh and blood
Never stray from our faith
This is our call to duty
It's our destiny
The strong will triumph
We'll make strong the weak
Take me to the grave
You've gotta fight the dead that walks
Deep in your skin, for your veins they haunt
Crush their bones, blow the chaff out of your lungs
You'll set ablaze when the deed's been done
The deed's been done
I'm not fighting with myself anymore
If we shy away, how can we create change?
Fight for the one we believe in
Our generation takes the task
We will rise up!
We will rise up
We will rise up
Put on the armor of God
If we shy away
How can we create change?
Fight for the one we believe in
Our generation takes the task
Bracing open my eyes with
a heart full of fear
This life fades with every blood, sweat and tear
When will we fall?
When will our existence crumble?
When will we crumble?
You spend your whole life looking for
The basic meaning of this world and so much more
Searching for a home full of love
And a life (and a life)
That many dying dreamed of
I'm screaming to you with a soul full of grief
Father they are preaching with a snake at their teeth
A snake at their teeth
And it repeats, it repeats
Oh this is me, I know this is me
You say I'm not worthy of this life we speak?
Oh this is me, I know this is me
I just can't follow all these lies you preach
You call yourself a man of god?
You can wear it
But can you defend it?
I'm trying to get closer
But the waves keeps smashing my fate
Now how I am supposed to follow this life
With the world crumbling down at the edge of my feet
I'm screaming to you with a soul full of grief
Father they are preaching with a snake at their teeth
A snake at their teeth
And it repeats, it repeats
You spend your whole life looking for
The basic meaning of this world and so much more
Searching for a home full of love
And a life (and a life)
That many dying dreamed of
You spend your whole life looking for
The basic meaning of this world and so much more
Searching for a home full of love
And a life (and a life)
That many dying dreamed of
[Instrumental]
We all found love in the wrong places
We're all living lies in our heads
Living in silence has taught me everything I know
We're all knights and pawns forced to fit the mold
This is such a sad, sad world
Our hands are calloused and we've got nothing to show
Our hands are calloused and we've got nothing to show
We're living in a perfect world
That we made into a sad, sad world
We're all living lies in our heads
We're all stuck
We're stuck in misery
We're fabricated
We're fabricated
We're living lies in our heads
We're living lies in our heads
I must admit that I feel a sense of rejuvenation
To know there's no relation
Between my irrational fears
And what's in store for us
We're all sinners
Bathing in our own self-pity
We're all sinners
Bathing in our own self-pity
Bathing in our own self-pity
This is such a perfect world
That we made into a sad, sad world
You got what you wanted
A heart full of pride and a soul full of pain
My actions speak louder than my words
I'm so fed up
I'm so sick and tired
I am not like them
I am not the same
I am not the one who gave you your beliefs
I am not the one who stripped you of your dreams
So who's to blame?
I am the same as you
We're raised in a world
That's black and blue
I've got a heart and a soul
So who's to blame?
We are the same
I've got a heart and a soul that guide my way
That does not make me any less than you
That does not make me any less than you
I am the same as you
I am not the one who gave you your beliefs
I am not the one who stripped you of your dreams
I am not the one who gave you your beliefs
I am not the one who stripped you of your dreams
Why Must I be Pushed Off for What I Believe?
What I believe
This is not right
This is not the right time or the right place
This is not right
This is not the right time or the right place
We saw God
I know you don't believe
This life I lead
I know you don't believe
This life I lead
I am the same as you
We're raised in a world
That's black and blue
I've got a heart and a soul
I am the same as you
We're raised in a world
That's black and blue
I've got a heart and a soul...
We stand here
Like we're all alone and there's no one else out there
We have come to believe
We are the one land
So selfish to think
We are the only ones
No one knows
We are not God
No one knows
We are not God
We are scared to find the truth
So we shy away
We dismiss the things that are different than our beliefs
We dismiss the things that are different
Than our beliefs
Than our beliefs
I want to be free
And not judged for what I believe
I want to stand up tall
I want to help who falls
I want to help who falls
I want to stand up tall
There's no right
There's no right in fighting our own
We are scared to find the truth
So we shy away
We dismiss the things that are different than our beliefs
We are trying to be something we are not
We are not God
We are trying to be something we are not
We are not God
Stop judging and open your eyes
Our souls have the same beauty inside
No two minds will ever think alike
So who's wrong if we don't know who's right?
We don't know who's right
Because we are not God
We don't know who's right
But we fight with fire inside
I want to be free
And not judged for what I believe
I want to stand up tall
I want to help who falls
I want to help who falls
I want to stand up tall
There's no right
There's no right in fighting our own
[In memory of Kathy Wisniewski]
We close our eyes
As the day turns to night
We forget what it's like to sleep
The memories sink in
When they were by our side
Every day and nightv
We're begging to you, asking you why
You took the closest thing to our life
Is it me?
I can't seem to think
Why must we suffer
Why must we suffer
I'm begging you, please
I'm begging you
To tell me why
I've faded away (away)
I've faded away (away)
I've faded away (away)
I've faded away (away)
And I fear I'm not coming back
And I fear I'm not coming back
It's ashes to ashes and dust to dust
But we still pray they are coming back
It's ashes to ashes and dust to dust
If we are just a cancer
Please tell me what we live for
What's the meaning of our life?
Are you with me on this?
God!
Why won't you tell me you're with me on this?
Why won't you please just reach down
I've been praying and praying to you
Just to come and take away the pain
God, where are you?
Because, it's been one year
I forget what it's like to sleep
The memories sink in
When you were by my side
Every day and night
I'm begging to you asking you why
You took the closest thing to my life
We are the light
We are the fire
We are the setting sun
So sick, so sick of living with no purpose
So sick of greed, of pigs, of everyone's complacency
You built these walls to hold us down
Why don't you come down from your throne?
Watch them fall to the ground
We will claim victory
You can't defeat us
You can't defeat us
Brick by brick, piece by piece
We'll arm ourselves with the walls that you've made
Brick by brick, piece by piece
We will claim victory
We are the light
We are the fire
We are the setting sun
You built these walls to hold us down
Why don't you come down from your throne?
Watch them fall to the ground
We will rise
Take the throne
You will fall to your knees
You will fall to your knees
Born in the land of the heartless
Bound by the chains of the soulless
Our years as slaves, behind us victorious
Brick by brick, piece by piece
We will claim victory
We are the light
We are the fire
We are the setting sun
We will claim victory
You can't defeat us
You can't defeat us
This is not right
Thinking everything's OK when it's not
This has got to end
We fell so many times
How much longer can we fake it?
This has got to end
This has got to end
We're rotting in filth
With no one to blame
We're not machines
This is such a shame
(Such a shame)
We can't fake what we never had
Follow the road and never look back
"Search for a better life," they said
We're all searching for a better life, a better life
Will it be alright? We wanna know
When will it end? When will it end?
Constantly on the run, what have we become?
Will it be alright?
We wanna know:
When will it end? When will it end?
I will find hope, I will kill pain
I will kill the thought of loneliness
We will find a home, we will kill the hate
We will kill the heartless
Will we get it right?
Thinking everything's OK when it's not
This has got to end
We fell so many times
How much longer can we fake it?
This has got to end
We can't fake what we never had
Follow the road and never look back
"Search for a better life," they said
We're all searching for a better life, a better life
Will it be alright? We wanna know
When will it end? When will it end?
Constantly on the run, what have we become?
Will it be alright? We wanna know
When will it end? When will it end?
I will fight for you, if you will fight for me
I will die for you, if you will die for me
This blood is true you see
The only thing we have left is our family
We will rise, overcome
Now is our time
We will rise and conquer
Everything this world ever stood for
I will fight for you, if you will fight for me (fight for me)
This blood is true you see
I will die for you, if you will die for me (die for me)
We will rise, overcome
Now is our time
We will rise and conquer
Everything this world ever stood for
Don't you go and leave me here
All alone in this sick dark world
I've got these demons to fight
They make we weak and I can't do this all alone
I've fallen oh so far
But if you leave me right now
I won't, I won't, I won't make it out
This isn't all about you
This isn't, this isn't all about you
Despite what you think or what you've been through
This isn't all about you
Don't you go and leave me here
Don't you, don't you go!
You blame yourself, you get depressed
You pull yourself down till no one's around
But you stay right here, you cling to the past
You could sit and wait forever but we need you back
And in a moment time stood still
In one single moment time stands still
You take the edge, hold it against your veins
Time stands still
Think about your actions, everyone's reactions
There's so many others that love you
If you were gone
Would time stand still?
If this were me and you were in my place
Would time stand still for you?
I know this world is such a dark, dark place
(Dark, dark place)
But if you leave right now, you'll never find your peace
I know this world is such a dark, dark place
(Dark, dark place)
But if you leave right now, you'll never find your peace
You blame yourself, you get depressed
You pull yourself down till no one's around
But you stay right here, you cling to the past
You could sit and wait forever but we need you back
You blame yourself, you get depressed
You pull yourself down till no one's around
But you stay right here, you cling to the past
You could sit and wait forever but we need you back
We need you back!
Don't you go
You're tearing us apart when you blame yourself
Don't you go
You stay right here, we need you here
Don't you go
You're tearing us apart when you blame yourself
Don't you go
You will stay right here, we need you here
We need you!
I'm here to put you in your place
I will bury you
I will bury you
Forgive? Forget?
I laugh at the thought of that
Yeah, you better run
You will regret the day you betrayed me and your "family"
If the world could see who you are
Would you run, would you run?
You've lost your heart, you've gone too far
Look what you've become, you've become
I saw the glimpse in your eyes (a killer in disguise)
I saw the smirk on your face (you love the pain you create)
I saw the aftermath (aftermath) of your "blood bath"
Six feet underneath, a bloody history
Six feet underneath, destroy your legacy
If the world could see who you are
Would you run, would you run?
You've lost your heart, you've gone too far
Look what you've become, you've become
I could turn this all around
'Cause I don't want to be like you (be like you)
But I know this is something I have to do
I will take you and all the things that you've done
Make you wish you never saw another "setting sun"
With your neck under my knee
And my arm raised high
Someone's gonna die
Forgive? Forget?
I laugh at the thought of that
Yeah, you better run
You will regret the day you betrayed me and your "family"
Six feet underneath, a bloody history
Six feet underneath, you never cared for forgiveness
With these thoughts on my mind,
I'll never sleep
With this pain so deep, I'll be dead before they find me
Devil, devil, devil
I'll be dead before they find me
You held the thoughts in the back of your spine
Feeding me hope for something I would never find
You know they say "the strong survive"? (The strong survive)
I won't stop at anything, for you to have a painful ending
I'm "pathetic" (pathetic)
You're the "heartless" (the heartless)
I'm a "trainwreck" (a trainwreck)
You're the "heartless"
When you look into the eyes
Does the rain fall through the deep blue skies?
Are you too blind to see, you're just a devil?
With these thoughts on my mind, I'll never sleep
With this pain so deep, I'll be dead before they find me
Devil, devil, devil
I'll be dead before they find me
I'll never sleep, with this pain so deep
There is no place to shake this agony
No way to break these chains
It's in my heart you see
There is no way to save my life
When I'm sleeping next to the devil at night
I'm "pathetic" (pathetic)
You're the "heartless" (the heartless)
I'm a "trainwreck" (a trainwreck)
You're the "heartless"
When you look into your eyes
Does the rain fall through the deep blue skies?
Are you too blind to see, you're just a devil?
With these thoughts on my mind, I'll never sleep
With this pain so deep, I'll be dead before they find me
Devil, I'm sleeping next to the devil at night
Devil, I'm sleeping next to the devil at night
Devil, I'm sleeping next to the devil at night
Devil, I'm sleeping next to the devil at night
[feat. Ricky Armellino of This Or The Apocalypse]
Open your eyes
You claim to be the one with the perfect life
Playing the role of a perfect child
You're just a pig
A pig dressed like a sheep
How do you sleep?
If I'm on my way, I'm taking you to hell
Pray for mercy
Pray, pray for me
You really think you're a king
You're just a pig dressed like a sheep
You really think you'll get away with this?
The role you're playing doesn't end with forgiveness
First step: dealing with the guilt
You can't be the intellectual cowards that just needed your ten percent
I said it: never trust anyone who's not a skeptic
Your face can't hide it, I'm so misguided
Yeah, you claim to be the one with the perfect life
Playing the pig with the constant smile
You're just a pig
Haha, a pig dressed like a sheep
A pig just like a sheep
I'm taking you to hell
Pray for mercy
Pray, pray for me
You really think you're a king?
You're just a pig dressed like a sheep
You really think you'll get away with this?
The role you're playing doesn't end with forgiveness
I just wanted to be good enough
Don't you ever tell me what I am
I've tried to be the best I can be
I am free to fall short
I've got an illness and no matter what I do
I'm a ghost to you
From this point on, you're a ghost to me
You'll always be a ghost to me
My mind's wandering lately
Tossing, turning in a daze instead of sleeping
These endless nights are getting scary
Losing sense of reality
When I tell you what you want to hear
Do you ever fear me?
When I lie next to you in fear
Do you ever hear me?
These nights are getting worse (getting worse)
Sleepwalking into my own hearse
My God, have I lost my voice?
I'm screaming but no one can hear me
Have I lost my mind?
I'm dying and no one can save me
I try running but my legs are still
I try gasping for air, my longs are desperate to fill
There is a demon creeping down my spine
Is it really in my mind or am I gonna die?
These nights are getting worse (getting worse)
Sleepwalking into my own hearse
My God, have I lost my voice?
I'm screaming but no one can hear me
Have I lost my mind?
I'm dying and no one can save me
My thoughts, they burn so deep
I think too much and it eats away at me
I'm just a tragedy but that's OK with me
I'll give the world what they're asking for
Sleep paralysis
I can't escape this
My only fear is not knowing who I am anymore
My only fear is inside me
Have I lost my voice?
I'm screaming but no one can hear me
Have I lost my mind?
I'm dying and no one can save me
My thoughts, they burn so deep
I think too much and it eats away at me
I'm just a tragedy but that's OK with me
I'll give the world what they're asking for
They keep asking where I've gone
And if I'll ever come back home
Give it up!
They say, "He wandered down a broken road
Lost the heart that he once knew
Thought she was the angel to his hope"
She was the devil that stole my soul
I've given up
Please forgive me, for I am not who I used to be (used to be)
Please forgive me, death was my heart's destiny
Destiny!
(If all you see, if all you see)
If all you see is the bad in me then please walk away, walk away
If all you see is the broken man in me then please stay and help me
She looked like angel, was a devil at heart
Left me broken, beaten, had me fooled from the start
Please forgive me, for I am not who I used to be (used to be)
Please forgive me, death was my heart's destiny
Destiny!
I keep telling myself that I'll find a home
This whole world isn't cold, I won't die alone
I try and try, but these demons on the inside
They know the dirty truth and so do I
If all you see is the bad in me then please walk away, walk away
If all you see is the broken man in me then please stay and help me
I'm broken, beaten, left to die on the inside
Please forgive me!
We are revolution
We are revolution
Get up, get off your back
We're at war, fighting for respect
I am not afraid to die for my family
They lit the fire, destroyed our lives
Kick rocks
They go around, chin up high
We'll make them kick rocks
Bound by chains
Day and night, that won't stop us
Bound by chains
We will overcome this
They killed our brothers, took our wives to die slow
They fill our minds with the sickest lies
We'll make them die slow
We'll bury the thought of you
When you die alone
We'll bury the thought of you
You will die slow
Get up, get off your back
We're at war, fighting for respect
I just want to be free
Bound by chains
Day and night, that won't stop us
Bound by chains
We will overcome this
We'll bury the thought of you
When you die alone
We'll bury the thought of you
You will die slow
You better listen up
And you better not get it wrong
I've got a story to tell about a man damned for hell
One face, two lives
Struggling to fight the beast inside
I used to win but lately all I've been is Mr. Hyde
You wanted a story?
Hahaha, well you got one...
No doctor, no medicine
Not the devil I hate, I hear he loves me
No pastor, no saving
Not the God I love, they say He hates me
Get inside my head, nothing but arguments
They say that "I'm a good guy, with a promising life"
I'm such a dark soul, destroying everything I love
I've got some issues, I've got a short fuse
I've learned to love being used, I am my own downfall
My own downfall
No doctor, no medicine
Not the devil I hate, I hear he loves me
No pastor, no saving
Not the God I love, they say He hates me
Nothing will put this curse to an end
I've tried to kill, I've tried to kill
I've tried to kill these voices inside my head
Put this curse to an end, put this curse to an end
You wanted a disaster
You think I'm on the verge, I'm very clever
I am so sorry but this world can't save me
I am my own downfall
My own downfall!
