To Whom It May Concern, 04:26
lyrics
buy track
To Whom It May Concern, Beaten up and bruised You left me for the wolves Just another victim On the path you chose Takes so long to find it Sometimes you never will Colorblind and struck down And it hurts like hell I tried so hard not to lose hope But with you it dies, with you it dies Deep inside my soul Deep inside my mind My thoughts are out don’t let them in There’s obviously something wrong I’m screaming my lungs out Don’t make me speak Don’t let me down I’m not fine now Nor was I fine when we last spoke But at least I tried, at least I tried And I wasn’t fine when we last spoke But at least I tried, at least I tried

New Generation 03:17
lyrics

New Generation Here’s a call to action With no reaction Change the times Or they’ll change you Keeping your mouth shut Won’t make things better Kick in the door Break on trough I feel backed up against the wall You’ve set me up to take the fall But there’s a loop-hole in your plot Didn’t you know I’m not alone? Not alone United we stand United under none There’s no tomorrow Unless we draw the gun No rationality, only lies and conspiracy Long forgotten better years, never thought we’d end up here. You can’t make me, you can’t change me, I remember how it was before You can’t make me, you can’t change me, I’m not your slave anymore United we stand United under none There’s no tomorrow Unless we draw the gun Say hello to the new generation

Hideaways 03:47
lyrics

Hideaways I wear my mask every day, can’t let anyone close to me Or let them see through the smile that I force People say they know me, call me a good man But with this disguise I wear, how can they tell Don’t know what’s buried inside Too afraid to find out, all I can do is hide Sometimes I lose control, let them see through me Can’t let this happen anymore Have to keep this buckled up and locked down Away from the world to see I know this will eat at me But there’s no one out there who can help me I keep everyone away, knowing they won’t like what they see Just turn your back, and run from me You can’t save me, you can’t save me Have to keep this buckled up and locked down Away from the world to see I know this will eat at me But there’s no one out there who can help me This burden I carry Why is it so heavy? It became a part of me I am left with no sanity Have to keep this buckled up and locked down Away from the world to see I know this will eat at me But there’s no one out there who can help me

We Are Here 04:09
lyrics
buy track
We Are Here We are here, we are now, But still not good enough somehow, "Only young", you'll hear them say "We were better in our day" The scene is dead the scene is dead For whoever cared and bled It died with cynics, jealous ones It died right here before our eyes A shout out to the back rows We know you're there Judging every move we make Laughing at every step we take No one cares what we say To you it only matters where we play Without us, think you’re better off that way? But I’ll tell you we are here to stay We are here, we are now, But still not good enough somehow, "Only young", you'll hear them say "We were better in our day" It's too much to pay the price No support, you don’t show up But still we suck We are here, we are now, But still not good enough somehow, "Only young", you'll hear them say "We were better in our day"

57 03:10
lyrics
57 I’m on a twelve step program and every step leads to your door And I swear I’d follow you down bottles and rabbit holes Cause all my riches fit into cigarette packs And all my wishes lost in years I can’t get back So down, down I go, down this yellow brick road Paved with 24 carat gold, and the best of intentions I painted towns red and set them ablaze, I ended up broken in so many ways I painted towns red and set them ablaze, I ended up broken in so many ways I’ll be stronger I’ll be bolder, I won’t look over my shoulder I’ll count my sins when I'm older And if my fingertips should harden and my breath just turns to ash We’ll find some deeper pockets and some memories to stash We’ll find some deeper pockets and some memories to stash It feels like Armageddon, it tastes like blood between your teeth I'd say it feels like dying, baby, dying is relief I left a trail of gin and poison, so we know how to get back Home is far and non-existent, it's easy to lose track Pick me (apart), pick me (apart), Pick me (apart), pick me (apart) Pick me (apart), pick me

Don't Cry 04:42
lyrics
Don't Cry I cry for this world, for the ignorant walking around like sheep They follow blindly, no questions asked, with promise of safety and security I cry for the enlightened ones, who see this world for what it really is All the corruption, all the immorality, those who are not ready for conformity They walk their own path, often alone They have to struggle through life, and run their head through stone Mostly they bounce back, not able to break the wall Give up on their efforts, a burden they can’t carry on their own But you can’t just give up on your right You can’t just give up on your pride You can’t just give up on your heart You can’t just give up on your life. You have to know, you were never here alone And hope it will be better for us all You have to follow your path For a better world Not let anyone take this from you You mustn’t let them draw you into the herd And become one of their brainless buffoons You have to know, you were never here alone And hope it will be better for us all Don’t cry Don’t cry Don’t cry Don’t cry Don’t cry for this world, for you are not alone, we will stand together Against the oppression, we will teach them a vital lesson

Drive 04:02
lyrics
Drive So many times I’ve dreamed of going away Driving away to that far off place A distant state of mind, no worries and no cries But a place in my heart with a wide road ahead All hope abandoned, all systems down tonight They say that it’s all over, but the sirens keep on howling It doesn’t get much better than this I keep hoping for the best But those moments never last, those moments never last All hope abandoned, all systems down tonight They say that it’s all over, but the sirens keep on howling And I feel like I’m driving A 100 miles an hour and I cannot seem to stop There’s nothing else to do Just keep my head up straight and eyes on the road All hope abandoned, all systems down tonight The highway’s all I can think of, where all roads lead to hell All hope abandoned, all systems down tonight The highway’s all I can think of, where all roads lead to hell

Let Friends Be Friends 03:51
lyrics
Let Friends Be Friends Smile for the picture Show off your perfect teeth The way you are The way you used to be You kiss the bottle That’s all you do A cure for reality A symbol of your amity This time it’s not the end of me This life, I’m not afraid of it You broke us down, drove us apart But now, let friends be friends again Where are my friends Where are my enemies Can’t tell no more And I don’t miss it though Society changes We’re all mad here I shoot to kill And I’m appalled by it This time it’s not the end of me This life, I’m not afraid of it You broke us down, drove us apart But now, let friends be friends again Empty bottle in my hands I’ve slipped again, lost in flames Minutes cut the fears away One more sip I’m in a fray Thought I’d have the strength to carry on Turns out I’m barely holding on Turns out I really do miss it I’m not the only one This time it’s not the end of me This life, I’m not afraid of it You broke us down, drove us apart But now, let friends be friends again Let friends be friends, let friends be friends again

Best Regards 03:43
lyrics
Best Regards Sorry I haven’t spoken in far too many days I've been upside down for so long now I can’t even count the years, can’t even count the years Once again I’m in a loss for words I’m stuck in my own head still fighting losing battles that I brought up on to myself And I won’t be fine, but thanks for asking I’m finished with this game I feel like I’ve lost my mind and I never know what to say I can’t write a love song cause I’m too afraid to say I’m too afraid to write these words I’m scared of what they’ll say I bang my head against the wall still afraid of falling down can’t carry the weight like I used to but that’s what everyone expects I can’t write a love song cause I’m too afraid to say I’m too afraid to write these words I’m scared of what they’ll say Sorry I’m still talking lately I haven’t been myself I’ll figure it out, I always do you just caught me off my guard
