It's never ending, just get better at pretending but the things once worth defending turned to dust Now more divided, used up all that was provided and now everyone relied upon lost trust Keep getting older, never learn from my mistakes Just seek forgiveness once there's nothing left to take Now there's nothing left to take Nothing left for you to take away Now there's nothing left to take Nothing left for you to take away chorus I'm pretending I've been hypnotized I'm dumbing down for my disguise Still wish that I could close my eyes And take my poison with a grain of salt Hate's going viral, there's no plausible denial we're undoing the survival of the smart Ignorance breeding yet elitists keep on leading, it's a system they've been cheating from the start We buy their lies to pay for bombs and acts of war Force-fed false truth til we can't take it anymore I can't take it anymore Shouldn't take it anymore from them Not gonna take it anymore Shouldn't take it anymore from them chorus I'm pretending I've been hypnotized I'm dumbing down for my disguise Still wish that I could close my eyes And take my poison with a grain of salt Keep lying to yourself, just keep it to yourself Keep lying to yourself, just keep it to yourself Not gonna take it anymore Shouldn't take it anymore from them Not gonna take it anymore Shouldn't take it anymore from them chorus I'm pretending I've been hypnotized I'm dumbing down for my disguise Still wish that I could close my eyes And take my poison with a grain of salt

Wish I knew just what to do Like every choice I make is wrong when it comes to me and you Sometimes you're dead inside I know, I feel it too Sitting watching all my nightmares as they come true Try so hard, I'm getting nowhere Give my all but you still don't care I'm only close enough to watch you fall Fifteen stories, climb the railing Put your trust in structures failing And watch you crumble to the ground with it all chorus It feels like everything is broken Mind and body, heart and soul Regrets and memories and nightmares take their toll But without you I'm less than whole There's so much left I wanna say I'd give all my tomorrows for one more yesterday Never felt closer while you're pushing me away Helplessly watch you kill yourself so much to my dismay Storm is coming, water rising See you drowning, not surprising Try to lift you up to higher ground Holding on now we're both sinking Keep on acting, never thinking You'll be lost at sea but I'll have drowned chorus It feels like everything is broken Mind and body, heart and soul Regrets and memories and nightmares take their toll But without you I'm less than whole I can't sleep but I'm sleepwalking now Fighting just to wake myself up somehow chorus It feels like everything is broken Mind and body, heart and soul Regrets and memories and nightmares take their toll But without you I'm less than whole

Reservoir's running dry this winter Riverbeds grow as hard as clay Staring up at a blue sky needing A taste of rain on a sunny day Cold as ice and creating a vortex Not a drop though the skies are gray January turned to September A taste of rain on a sunny day chorus But nothing lasts forever There's bound to be a change You talk about the weather But I'm the one who's strange Feelings change, learn to take for granted Always best left with things to say Stay ahead of the pack but you're losing It's not a race when you run away Off to look for your next distraction Growing better at the games you play Just learn to live with your own decisions And don't look back when you run away chorus Cuz nothing lasts forever There's bound to be a change You talk about the weather But I'm the one who's strange Once January's over the nights will slowly fade You'll be long forgotten, I'll be running for the shade Say goodbye to the last temptation As the days since the rain pass by Looking back on a fraction of time like A drop of rain from a sunny sky Not a cloud in the sky for a while now And the pressure is growing high Holding on to the memories of moments A drop of rain from a sunny sky chorus Cuz nothing lasts forever There's bound to be a change You talk about the weather But I'm the one who's strange Once January's over the nights will slowly fade I'll be long forgotten, you'll be running for the shade

Well we drink all night just to dull the pain And use chemicals to control our brains We use angry words to grow thicker skin But the day will come when the losers win Getting pushed around til we lose our minds And our weakness is just the fact we're kind Feet bloodied by miles in your shoes Some day we'll push back and we may not lose chorus The time is right for fighting When your back's against the wall When the losers start uniting Many palaces will fall While we suffer all of your consequence Stuck sitting on someone else's fence Now we're left behind with what you won't face And our mouths grow numb from the same bad taste You step on us til we break our backs Scarred and bruised by your tire tracks Now we've had enough, we'll bear no more weight Let the winners win and take back our fate chorus The time is right for fighting When your back's against the wall When the losers start uniting Many palaces will fall We're so tired of losing Our future's for our choosing chorus The time is right for fighting When your back's against the wall When the losers start uniting Many palaces will fall

Pulled in all directions, all that I can see is contradiction Misinform the masses, subtly sedate into submission Given champions for causes that distract us from the problems Instinctive loss American entitlement and self-aggrandizement set us apart While we preach of change we never seem to find the place to start Kind is weakness but compassion is the ultimate disguise Increasing cost chorus I think I'm running out of words Keep pushing back against the herd Pay attention in your classes, study hard and learn the rules Never stop to question, get a job, make sure to pay your taxes File all complaints in writing to your representative Be sure to vote for change Put yourself in debt in search of higher education and conform Abandon all ideals and dreams as hope can only slow you down Buy into the same dream-crushing philosophy Just the way it goes refrain Is it Illuminati? Or a conspiracy Is it coincidental? I'm just too sentimental chorus I think I'm running out of words Keep pushing back against the herd refrain Is it Illuminati? Or a conspiracy Is it coincidental? I'm just too sentimental Now I'm screaming at this page Soak my pen in ink of rage Try to keep it to myself I should keep it to myself refrain Is it Illuminati? Or a conspiracy Is it coincidental? I'm just too sentimental

She's not going back again For far too long it kept her in her place Trapped and abused by it Convinced her that without it she's a Waste of a human being, it kept her locked away inside a Cage of manipulation, fed only by depression pre-chorus Can't escape the gravity Of these tiny black holes pulling on me Lose myself more every day What's left of her can't break away chorus So dark inside that light cannot escape Every atom is absorbed completely She's almost gone and there's no coming back All that matter is absorbed, here and gone so briefly I'm not gonna play that game This time I forfeit, you can have the win For years you've come and gone Now we're right back where we started from and Again I'm wondering if everything will end up just the Same kind of broken-hearted, right back where all this started pre-chorus Can't escape the gravity Of these tiny black holes pulling on me Lose myself more every day What's left of me can't break away chorus So dark inside that light cannot escape Every atom is absorbed completely I'm almost gone and there's no coming back All that matter is absorbed, here and gone so briefly

You told me you just need some space And we could have a future in a different time and place So I'll become an astronaut Hook a rocket to a net and bring you everything I caught You told me you just need some time How was I to know you had already made up your mind I built a time machine for you Got stuck repeating the past, never knowing the right thing to do pre-chorus I'll probably lose my mind Keep bending space and time chorus Can't find a singularity A space and time where there's still you and me Across dimensions I will seek To find our relativity You disappear without a trace Then reappear but I have trouble recognizing your face The ghost of someone I once loved Oddly familiar but from where I'm not exactly sure of I'm reaching for the farthest star Across dimensions just to catch a glimpse of where you are In this space so dark and cold I just can't seem to free myself from your gravitational hold pre-chorus I'll probably lose my mind Keep bending space and time chorus Can't find a singularity A space and time where there's still you and me Across dimensions I will seek To find our relativity

Make the same mistakes Re-live a thousand yesterdays Keep doing the wrong things and call it deja vu Take the blame, pass the buck Keep on pressing my bad luck And give control to you But what did I expect? Court's adjourned before I could stand to object It's like breaking down my world as it's crashing down on me chorus Victim of my own circumstance Repeat mistakes at every chance When you came back for more I let you right back in my door Insanity so comforting, it's all I've known Play the game, you'll forget Everything that you regret Looks like your cover's blown But what did you expect? Court's adjourned before you could stand to object It's like breaking down your world as it's crashing down on you chorus Victim of your own circumstance Repeat mistakes at every chance And once again we find We're losing our collective minds Ignoring past mistakes, continue playing roles Wag the dog, ring the bell Keep us happy in our cells And let them take control But what did we expect? Court's adjourned before we could stand to object It's like breaking down our world as it's crashing down on us chorus Victim of our own circumstance Repeat the past at every chance

Asphyxiation 04:10
refrain We're suffering from asphyxiation Now I can't breathe in this racist nation They're using fear and intimidation Our basic rights are in violation From Staten Island down to Ferguson Missouri The biggest cities to the smallest towns Determined threat by your state of pigmentation Police man come and shoot you down chorus Hands up, don't shoot A broken system guards the truth Now I can't breathe again no Hands up, don't shoot A broken system guards the truth Now I can't breathe again no refrain We're suffering from asphyxiation Now I can't breathe in this racist nation They're using fear and intimidation Our basic rights are in violation Every single day we get more and more frustration Blood on the hands of the man in blue Riot police with their tear gas come and shut down the protest Better keep it down or they're coming for you chorus Hands up, don't shoot A broken system guards the truth Now I can't breathe again no Hands up, don't shoot A broken system guards the truth Now I can't breathe again no He'll never breathe again no I can't breathe This is not free

Stay Strong 05:01
Believe in a fate I don't pretend to understand And I can't justify the means I've watched the world fall apart and rebuild but Things aren't always as they seem Some times it feels as though the point is growing dull Like there's no reason left to try We're trained to question the cause and effect but There's not always a reason why pre-chorus I won't give up on you even when I give up on me Each day more reasons why I should give up on humanity Then it hits me, just like a train, the faintest glimmer of hope A new horizon, the sun is rising, the slightest reason to cope chorus Fall back on you falling back on me Somehow we'll both stay on our feet If the earth crumbles from beneath With you is where I wanna be The chips are down and the light's growing dim But there's a warmth to this night And though it seems there's no hope to be found Somehow we'll stay in this fight When all is said and done you're still in my corner For you I'm not gonna quit And though I'm knocked down I'm never knocked out, no No matter how hard I get hit pre-chorus I won't give up on you even when I give up on me Each day more reasons why I should give up on humanity Then it hits me, just like a train, the faintest glimmer of hope A new horizon, the sun is rising, the slightest reason to cope chorus Fall back on you falling back on me Somehow we'll both stay on our feet If the earth crumbles from beneath With you is where I wanna be Just breathe, chin up, always stay strong Never give up, keep holding on
