Now Is The Time

All these words I said before
Promises I made fly out the door
It's just too hard to stop the urge
Once I'm clear, I slip up some more
Boredom's not a friend to me
History my destiny
A careless thought can be my last
My will to date is unsurpassed
Now is the time
Follow the signs, decide what is right
All up to me, I won't give it away
Holding my head high
A call to remind it's mine to define
All lies on me and I won't give this away
Halfway in and halfway out
Stuck inside this sea of doubt
Mind astray it wants that high
Taking back this life of mine
Blowing away in the breeze
Foolish moves become reality
Try so hard to stay on track
Relief will come when I look back
Now is the time
Follow the signs, decide what is right
All up to me, I won't give it away
Holding my head high
A call to remind it's mine to define
All lies on me and I won't give this away
No way!
I won't give this away!

Breakdown

Your heroes never worked a day in their lives
Role models because of their family ties
Born on third base, entitled and snide
They’ll brainwash the masses on cable tonight
The rich & the privileged are rigging the game
Tipping the scales, rule without shame
The only way in is pay to play
Hold up a mirror that’s how it got this way
Terrify
with every lie
vilify
Finger point
then deny it every time
And they want to break us down
Breakdown
Society in breakdown
Breakdown
We don’t even notice as things start to change
Little by little, the grip starts to take
Distracted by tech, it acts as our eyes
When it falls apart, we act so surprised
Everyone says that it can’t happen here
We will not succumb to hatred and fear
History proves itself again right
The torches are marching down your street tonight
Terrify
with every lie
vilify
Finger point
then deny it every time
The whole world shits and calls it gold
Breakdown
Society in breakdown
Breakdown
Right now

Draw Our Lines
03:06

Divided sides
We’re quick to decide
It's hard to tell what's real
when all you've known is a lie
So stick to your tribe
We don't compromise
Have you ever seen the world
Through someone else's eyes?
Souls confined
Socially online
Manipulation grabs you and it magnifies
Are we this blind and preoccupied?
Marginalized and polarized
Now nationalized & hypnotized
It's okay for me, but not for you
These rules define our lives
It's ok for me, but not for you
Where do we draw our lines?
Freedom for me (DRAW)
But not for thee (OUR)
Double standards fuel (LINES)
Resentment, guilt and pain
These lines define us (DRAW)
The lies divide us (OUR)
The clock is ticking (LINES)
And the truth is slipping away
It's okay for me, but not for you
These rules define our lives
It's ok for me, but not for you
Where do we draw our lines?
It's okay for me, but how dare you?
We've become what we despise
It's ok for me, but not for you
Where do we draw our lines?

By Hook Or Crook

There was a time
Not so long ago
We would bust through walls
In basements and halls
The kids with attitude
Would like the spark
The songs we loved
And the scene we shared
Could shape the world
and now is there
anything left of individuality?
Voices on high
Reclaim their right
To forge a blueprint for a better way of life
By hook or crook
Be the change!
It was getting old
The general malaise of society
The valley owns
the foundation of your identity
Without dissent
there’s no hope for humanity
And I’m glad to see us
step up to authority
Voices on high
Reclaim their right
To forge a blueprint for a better way of life
This is your time
Demand what’s right
By hook or crook
Be the change!

On And On

Tread on everyone but me, sir
Disinform me with every word
The fear of what I hate
How much proof can I ignore?
Insidious culture war
Can we get past our...
Pride?
it comes before the fall
Humility is gone
Ignorance turns to outrage
and the logic is withdrawn
Pretending you’re appalled
Got the base enthralled
No more lessons learned as we go on
We go on and on
We go on and on
We go on and on
Where did we go so wrong?
All that we want
is what we want to hear
Can’t judge the devil by his deeds
Face first with catastrophe
Thieves think all men steal
You think they care about you or me?
The leaders of these regimes?
Just can’t get past our...
Pride
It comes before the fall
Humility is gone
Ignorance turns to outrage
and the logic is withdrawn
Pretend that you’re appalled
Got the base enthralled
No more lessons learned as we go on
We go on and on
We go on and on
We go on and on
Where did we go so wrong?
There’s more than one way to die
Each time you turn a blind eye
Mentally rotting day by day
The worst is yet to come they always say
We go on and on
We go on and on
We go on and on
Where did it all go wrong?
All that we want
is what we want to hear
