(Man)Kind 04:04
Looking towards the future There's not a hint of what we want So let's sing it loud Held at the point of war, our empire is falling And the nations are being torn Granted it speaks for itself, and the lies collide Do we know what's at stake? We need to decide Where's the brand new start? Every ounce of property they gain In the name of whom? Their malicious intent is callusing We can turn this around We need your voices Where did it go? To come together to fall apart (Speak for the spoken for) Pull the broken pieces To what we think is just the answer (Speak for the spoken for) Is there any way to run? I've got this unbalanced feeling Tiptoe to the edges It's time to speak up for yourself It's time to take the jump Just show the world Show them what you have Just show the world Show them what you have Where did it go? (To come together to fall apart) (Speak for the spoken for) Pull the broken pieces (To what we think is just the answer) (Speak for the spoken for) And spell the future With what our hearts believe

Reel Estate 02:38
My better judgment has got a gripping hold But this is a buyer that won't be sold I've torn down the wires for a chance to look in So this is where I tell you to begin The middleman will pay his dues this time He's got a fine, he's got, he's got, no time We all have our dues in life to pay Shed some light on what I've seen (what I've seen) The liar in the bedsheets will get his this time He's got a fine, he's got, he's got, no time It pays to be a fool I can't stand where I've been (where I've been) The worst in me, my arrogant pride He came locked and loaded and dressed to the nines I'll push you back, kick out your knees And hang you by the wrists with these nylon strings The killer in the courtroom has got no fight this time He's got no fight, he's got, he's got, no fight And I'm seceding from the state that broke down your own Propaganda, propaganda It's shameless and sick and we've got to do something My better judgment has got a gripping hold But this is a buyer that won't be sold I've torn down the wires for a chance to look in So this is where I tell you how this ends We all have our dues in life to pay Shed some light on what I've seen (what I've seen)

Fractionista 03:16
Does the world being taken for granted scare you? The clouds could still part for us I'm terrified, I'm terrified, of the consequences I still have hope in us But we are so under-minded Liquid courage, so they call it We've all had enough to justify it I like to think we all still have spines Just fighting to stand up straight Why have we lived like this? (Bless the fame you got) We won't end like this (What a waste of time) And in case you feel regret Remember what you're fighting for In case you do forget This is for us Hang them high We're stacked to the branches of the trees So call up the locksmith, hand over the keys Don't live like this, they call it an art On the way to the house they tore us apart I still have hope in us But for this to work We can't all be the debris in the sea We have to be the beacon Why have we lived like this? (Bless the fame you got) We won't end like this (What a waste of time) Frame your past in the house you lived in (Set it aflame, and start anew) Start everything anew

One Act Play 05:19
They say we're just ghosts of who we really are So I'll float through the walls and inch towards my own in-formalities Don't keep me from fading I've ached so long, for a chance to hold on Don't keep me waiting There's no excuse for what we are now My line of sight it blurs, it bends in the middle and the dream I had, it now starts to spill "Press on" is what they've said But how can the edges be clear with such an abrupt end? The stage we stand on can't stand to collapse So we better act now, so we better act fast Don't keep me from fading This is all that I want now, all that I need Don't keep me waiting We can grow past what we are now My line of sight it blurs, it bends in the middle and the dream that I had, it now starts to spill "Press on" is what they've said But how can the edges be clear with such an abrupt end? The stage we stand on can't stand to collapse So we better act now, so we better act fast This one act play is not yet at its end We still have much left to defend And we stand up tall But I know that we haven't lost sight of it all

What are you so afraid of, if the dark can't see me? Is my mind playing tricks on me? Is it true? Did it crush you? Did it make you weak? Speak up and redeem yourself It's all worth reaching for Even if this may be all that we know Will you rust? What will you be? Will you shine with the rest of the machines? I have to fight off these demons and regrets, and these contradictions My regrets, they won't plague me, but they will fucking escape me I've deconstructed my crucifixes I've broken them down to dust They blew away, and that weight Went to someone else's shoulders Treat yourself like a blueprint And start over Start over This is where I let you go If my story makes sense to you Then turn it into something you couldn't before Speak up, It's all worth reaching for It's all worth reaching for I won't be a failure anymore
