Days Go By 03:13
I’m finally okay with getting older 
if I’m getting closer to you
cause 30’s not so bad, 
when holding onto your hand
you wipe away all worry, 
I’m happy just to share this day with you

The days go by…

I’m finally coming clean, I will not make concessions
the world could take or leave me,
(But) I’m depending on YOU now
to keep me level headed, feet on solid ground
I cant believe how quick these years have passed

As these days go by
I never question your love
salvation lies, in the hearts of those who know me
These days go by 
things are getting better
I’ll always be by your side
as these days go
as these days go
as these days go by

I swear that I’m okay, things are finally better
I’m happy just to share this day with you.

When you’re young and dumb 
you don’t see the future for what it could be 
instead you get caught up in your own sense of fear and uncertainty 
I’m sorry that I left

 tangled entwined together 
we got separated and now we lie alone 
tangled bound forever 
never unite complete for without you, love is gone

 At times I often wonder 
where we would be right now, if I had stayed
 give you the love I promised in the letters I wrote you every day 
suppose it’s only natural to question a life we could have made. 

tangled entwined together 
we got separated and now we lie alone 
tangled bound forever 
never unite complete for without you, love is gone

The Drifting 03:18
I’m scared to death as I’m paddling out to find peace now 
in need of a moment to think
 gripping the oars, I cant stop from shaking
 praying my vessel wont sink 

CAPSIZED! Can you hear my cries?
 CAPSIZED! I have been betrayed by that which promised, at birth, to save my life
 BREATH IN, feel the water rise
 CAPSIZED! Can you hear my cries? 

I’m treading water, as panic begins to set in now 
I cant seem to right this ship
 time drags on, these minutes feel like hours
 Solo on this uncharted trip 
will I survive this night
 have a chance to turn these wrongs to right
 this was a humble ship to set sail in 
it appears I’m ill equipped
 over time I lose my grip and I fall back into the abyss
 have I been drifting too far out? Have I? 
have I been drifting too far out?

how many bodies down? 
22 left above the ground
 and I can’t see what sense this killing makes 

been trapped behind those doors 
no one knows what, why or for 
but we know we’re sick of living with this pain 

 she screams, why cant you just let me be 
 she’s sick of living with this hate
 and after all of this, what’s left to be afraid of 

keep it inside, there’s no where to hide
 that’s where it lies, just waiting to be free
 keep it inside, there’s no where to hide 
bet you thought you’d never see, this monster inside of me

 how many bodies down? 30 more left above the ground 
and I can’ t see what sense this killing makes 

how many lies were told
 your silver tongue has taken hold
 and there’s no way to cover up this mess you’ve made 

he screams, where’s God when all that we see 
is death upon our streets
 and after all of this, what’s left to be afraid of

5.
Take it Back 02:48
yes its green on the other side, that’s how it seen
 through the jaded eyes of envy 
The sun went down long ago on those days
 you turned your back on everything
 now you’ve decided that you want to say, those words to me 

take it back take it back 
it wasn’t yours to give 
take it back take it back 
I’m not the one 

you always want what you cant have and I was always proud to be, the martyr for your cause
 But this will be the last time and I wont double back, on that path that leads to nowhere 
If you’re planning to light that flame, you can burn alone.


this is a promise to change 
cant believe how foolish I have been 
traded my heart for a string 
but now I am severing these ties
6.
they deal in algorithmic scripts and double speak 
vampires with a smile and a pen 
building their castles on graveyards 
and feeding off the children being strangled by the hands that feed them This is ours today 
and let it be known we’ve built this 
and it is not for sale, we are not for sale 

this is ours today 
to have is to give
 You cant take it away 
can’ t be taken away 

camera shy 
Let the light just steal your soul
 (I thought this was what you wanted)
 dotted lines, sign your life away 
I thought this was what you wanted, 
boy smarten up, what are you 
camera shy, are you camera shy? 

we deal in labors of love 
True to ourselves, true to those who have healed us when we were ailing 
yes there are the liars and thieves and turncoats in our midst 
but we refuse them in our ranks, we are counted as voices not dollars, now hear us .
I thought this was what you wanted 
to fight with a sword and not a pen 
but we’re saving a hundred souls a day 
thought this was what you wanted 
to let the light just steal your soul
 but who’s going to show you all your worth
