VERSE LYRICS

1. Weather To A Stone

The reasons that I live
The way that I live
Are building up
And they'll continue to grow
I will never run
From where I stand
Even if it means
I'm standing here alone
I've seen the best of 'em fall away
I've come to learn
That even words written in stone
Can be eroded with TIME

2. Hard To Breathe

I've spent my life questioning everything
Sometimes what is placed right in front of us
I find so hard to believe
It can crush us so hard
That it becomes difficult to breathe
"Give it some time"
Is just not enough
I've gotta dig deeper than that
To find so comfort
We sit and pretend
That we're content
But I feel we've covered up
Our rage that keeps us driven
SEARCHING FOR SOMETHING MORE
Living in a cold world
But it doesn't have to be that way
We're keeping ourselves down
We don't bite the oppressive hand
That's feeding us all lies
Yes denial feels so good
But we are marching ourselves
To an untimely grave
Simply by our actions
WE HAVE BECOME
OUR OWN WORST ENEMIES
And I feel we've covered up our rage
That keeps us driven
SEARCHING FOR SOMETHING MORE
The hand that feeds
Is the hand that's keeping you down

3. Start A Fire

I can't accept what's been done
I'll question the motives
Of all things under the sun
There's something wrong
When a man is kept down
By another man's hand with a gun
We need to start a fire
To act consciously
To save us from our own defeat
Because there is still a war
That we must eliminate
And save ourselves
From this conscious state
When you just can't take anymore
And you're being kept down
START A FIRE
We've gotta cut our ties
To a life lived in denial
I wish I could strike a match
And set fire to this fucked up empire
I'll never let myself become
Just another apathetic motherfucker
Who knows what we could do
If we would only try
If we turn our heads and walk away
This fire won't survive
START A FIRE

4. Standing In The Ashes

You left us all for dead
Standing in the ashes
Of a world you've destroyed
All we want is a chance to grow
A chance to be something more
CRUSHED
BLEEDING
Left to die
You can try to take us all
But we still survive
Fueled by our anger
And our strong minds
You can try to stop us
But we won't back down
We won't follow suit
AND FALL IN LINE

5. From Anger To Rage

Clenched fist I'm in a rage
I can't control my anger now
The more they lie to us
The more I want to bring them down
Everywhere we turn
We're being told how we should be
I feel like I'm being forced into a mold
That just doesn't fit me
FROM ANGER AND RAGE
Comes rebellion
These money hungry men
Control our sight
And distort the truth that we so desperately seek
Telling us that we're wrong
For the way we live our lives
I know there are far too many
Who feel just like us
From anger and rage
COMES REBELLION
Your billboard's temptation
Just a hangman's noose
A constant campaign
To sell us your "truth"
Can't live life on our knees
Or believe lies we're fed
Won't let them get to us
The movement's not dead

6. We Were Here

The season's changing
And I'm feeling left behind
It's getting so much colder now
But my heart's still stuck in that Summertime
Simple conversations
Running through my mind
Reminding me of how much this time meant
So I gotta let all of you know
That every moment we shared
And every helping hand
Meant so much more
Than any outsider could ever understand
Eleven kids in a van
Made me understand
Sacrifice and commitment to a movement
Based on reaching out your hand
We buried memories on 39th and Glisan
That said "WE WERE HERE"

7. Consume

I wish I could erase it all
The history
The memories
Every downfall
Now is the time to draw that line
Fuck the cutthroat man
Fuck the corporate media
And fuck anyone who tries to warp our minds
Fiction as fact
It's just more weight on our backs
Force us to sit down but we will not sit back
Again it all comes down to money...
Fuck the business man
Poisoning my mind with ad campaigns
Warping young minds to judge success
On money and fame
We can't let ourselves fall into this
We can't sit by
And be so complacent
Again it all comes down to money...
FUCK THE BUSINESS MAN

8. Lost

Everything is insane
Young man walked into the end of everything
Took a few out with him
He was never molded
Quite like the rest of those lucky ones
It was understood early on
That life was unforgiving
"It wasn't out of hate now was it son?"
"I'm not your fucking son"
Keep on searching for the answers motherfucker
Cus' I'm sure there will be another one just like him
It could have been me
It could have been you
Young man longing for that affection
Coming up short
And only receiving leftovers of his father's addictions
Tossed aside with nowhere to go
He falls flat on his face
In his quest for a place to call home
Live a lifetime in just 17 years
Tortured and neglected
He searches for solid ground
But still comes up short
Without his mother's affection
He walks an empty street of insanity
It could have been me
It could have been you

9. No Rest In Leavenworth

[Instrumental]

10. Stolen

You know my tongue bleeds sometimes
From biting down for a good reason
I just can't go silent any longer
When those great pretenders
Fake what they know
About my life
Or any trials I've been through
So quick to judge another
And never looking at yourselves
You just sit around
Open mouthed
While filler words
Are falling out of your faces
When the only thing
You truly know about me is my name
All of the words you've been chewing on for years
Are just a bunch of jealous lies
And if you chew too much
You could end up choking
You took what was mine
Straight fucking stole it from my hands
Twisted it and tried to ruin it
(Choked all of the life from it)
Put a bad fucking name on it
But what I hold in my heart
IS REAL
So I'm sticking to my guns
I NEVER SAID A FUCKING WORD

11. Follow Conform Repeat

Are we scared of progression?
Sometimes it seems we've lost our sense of direction
Too scared to take a stand
Too scared to be against
Follow anything
Or just stand on both sides of the fence
Sure we're all safe inside our neutral unions
But we're leaving the foundation of rebellion in a state of ruins
I say fuck the social norm
I won't conform
I'm not concerned with being safe
REVOLT
REBEL
RESIST
Fear of consequences
For speaking our minds
Is just another way of giving into
Forced censorship
And I'm never giving in
REVOLT REBEL RESIST RESIST
