Listen 02:02
Spend all our lives drifting day by day With no real thoughts and not a thing to say Taught ourselves just to blindly obey But I'm not listening Taught to consume beings that cannot fight All the while downplaying their plight You tell yourself out of mind out of sight But I'm not listening anymore I'm not listening We have to make it right We have to be their voice For the picture of innocence who never had a choice Forced into slavery prosperity lost to a voice You're not listening Thats why we're screaming and taking a stand You call it reckless we call it a plan Forced revolution so they understand That you're not listening Accept your guilt, accept your conscious Guilty for years, it has slowly rotted We must make this fucking right
2.
I'll never understand what draws you To something so perverse The power that you crave Is power to enforce You call it honor, you call it service Your intentions are to save Well load that gun and shine that badge They're objects to enslave All you've done and all you do Is pin us into corners Beaten, broken, bullied, battered With no issue or a warning It's no surprise another dead cop Sends no one into mourning When all we're guilty of Is trying to make a living You say your only human A uniform is no division Cut the shit This job was your decision
3.
Deserved 01:41
Nothing gives you the right to draw that line into the sand How you play God with your compassion I'll never understand You've figured out a way to not just care about yourself But only if it's domesticated, what about everyone else? Which ones garner favor and which ones get your praise? How long do we care for those that only bright up our days? The ones inside our homes seem to be the ones deserving of our rage Because most are raped and tortured spending all their lives inside a cage If we keep acting like they're just inventory There's no way we'll change the story Don't let your fucking outrage end Right where your convenience begins
4.
Choices 00:39
You really think I give a shit About the choices that you make? Of course I don't, it's your fucking life But theres one thing I can't take It's fucking assholes pretending not to care Belonged for the wrong reasons Insincere, making light of the one thing I believe in I don't give a fuck So when I say it, know it's true If I was a different man I'd still be nothing like you You say you've changed That you moved on You're "growing up" I say, You fucking sold out
5.
Solid Unity 01:42
There's a dark cloud ahead of me, Eyes in the sky and grey is all I see This fucking weight it won't let me be It's gotta break before it puts me on my knees It feels like there's nothing I can do Every day has become such a struggle Just making it by has become such a bother I walk the streets feeling only isolation Become so numb it's dulling all of my senses Don't shake my hand just to stab me in the back Inspiring change can't start with all these attacks Dog eat dog it can't be all that we're feeling I'll lift you up that's exactly how we'll start the healing I look to you, you look to me We work together in solid unity There's a hand i'll always lend I'm by your side, we'll see this through the end We'll see this through
6.
My wheels keep spinning I can't move a fucking inch I keep screaming I can't make sense of this All those punches I take on the fucking chin Strength on my side X's always win And as things change I still carry the fucking name While everything fades This one thing stays the same We are the wolves in hiding Amongst the broken and lying Although we've never belonged Straight edge still standing strong
7.
The View In 02:01
There you lied with nothing left Nothing more to give, nothing but regrets You were a ghost to the world and to yourself When you needed me most I only thought of myself You were hurting, broken, with nothing left to lose I was young, selfish, I honestly had no fucking clue All alone every fucking day And visits felt like such a pain You were the strongest woman I had ever met I'd give it all up just for one more day The strongest woman I've ever met I'd give it all up just to see you again I could have been more I should have been more With every breath I take you in These memories never seen again I held you once, I held you close I'm left searching when I need you most Again and again and again and again I held you once, I held you close Again and again and again and again These memories never seen again
