1.
here I find myself again walking with the dead a story that seems to repeat itself again secluded from what counts constantly beating my fists against these fucking walls ‘cause I’m surrounded by demons with prying eyes pushing forward, away from the shadows of the dead ‘cause when it’s all said and done there should be no regrets
2.
Leech 01:37
a strife of tongues about the things that you want but you forget about what it takes to set sail on a sinking ship doing things the hard way I dare you to walk a mile in my shoes, going in for the kill but instead you prey on every chance to leech that’s how it’s always been how it’s always been separate facts from fiction abstract the lies from the truth vultures in disguise I see you lurking to benefit from other’s gains but true individual dignity only gets reached by doing things yourself
3.
Inner Demons 01:49
my whole life I felt haunted by adversity condemned to a lifetime of despair until one day I saw this world for what it really is and not for what you taught me it would be I was never destined for great dreams ‘cause your inner demons dragged me down now I have worn the dust of many streets I’m not what happened to me I am what I choose to become life does not get better by chance it gets better by change every man dies not every man really lives exorcise your inner demons take control reap what you sow reap what you sow you got to take control you got to reap what you sow your time of fortune will come and then it’s harvest day
4.
sometimes I felt I was not alive worn down and numb from this constant strife living each day trapped under the weight I cleared my mind there’s so much time I’ve spent living a life based on other’s demands so I chose a way going against the grain I am the disregarded searching for something more isolated from where the truth’s withhold I live this life until my heart stops beating Don’t want to be a dead man breathing I like to dwell on the possibility of obscurity I live by my own set of rules I am the disregarded searching for something more isolated from where the truth’s withhold
5.
let’s pack our bags and throw ourselves into another great adventure across seas and through forgotten streets we can’t allow ourselves to go halfway every single moment is ours to take we can’t change the direction of the wind but we can adjust our sails together we are one love and hate it’s unconditional wherever we go it’s with all our heart we take each day just as it comes we roam these endless roads it’s about the journey not the destination
6.
in desperate times we live by desperate means in an insane world this is the sanest way to be many are losing faith in this unequal struggle it only gets worse with every passing day fight with different weapons gun VS dagger is it always going to be this way? decay not what they’d promised the world looked brighter in the innocence of childhood dreams we are the sons of the privileged we are the ones who are stuck with the wreckage of our ancestors the wreckage of our ancestors they paved the path that leads the way and we’re all destined to deal with all that’s left they ruined this world it’s gone to waste and they embraced it in our name we are the sons of the privileged we are the ones who are stuck with the wreckage of our ancestors
7.
keep writing your name in the sand this act of perseverance is called resilience PMA is the bridge between setting goals and achieving them and it's determined by you and not by others keep pushing forward pursue dreams with actions, do not wait for things to happen stick tight to inner strength it all takes place inside the heart actions speak louder than words they say while talk is cheap and easily stated put your money where your mouth is never bow down towards where the ground is keep fighting for every inch when enough is enough you are halfway there rise up against the odds 'cause even rivers wash dams away someday great danger doesn't lie in setting aims to high never settle for less life is a song so fucking sing it even when things go wrong and you feel defeated 'cause that what does not kill us only makes us stronger turn things around light up the darkness keep pushing forward
8.
Confined 01:38
don’t explain to me the way this world works because I’ve walked its surface for long enough every day I see people searching for redemption they lay their fate in the hands of the powerful few who are playing god over a world that’s engulfed by defeat I’d rather walk my own steady pace apart from the masses I am a wandering soul aspiring for more so many different stories of defeat so many faces of death but I have always kept my fate by trying to reach beyond what keeps us confined seeking for different ways the chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken never give in or settle for less than what you are worth strife for something more
9.
what’s the point of effort ‘cause it only gets a glimpse of what it really deserves all things are being produced with greater ease and quantity overshadows quality it overshadows quality I wish that you could see the downside of this this should always be us against that world just find the strength inside and turn it all around the easier things are to get the more that we neglect consumerism took away all its meaning there is not enough content the surface is burning and it’s making its way to the underground
10.
it lies in man’s nature to blend in uniformity clouds our eyes when outcasts are looked upon with a closed mind a lonely flower doesn’t envy the thorns who are numerous stand up and fight even when standing for what you believe means standing alone most of us will be forgotten having no one know their names but no legacy is as great as sincerity true spirit I see a weakness in your urge for glory you keep changing face but real recognize real so many have come and gone another day another face but real recognize real
