1. THE DECLINE

I was reliving all those times we shared
And it's hard, because there's nothing left of you
And I can see you're not the same
You used to be so strong, but time has changed you
You turned away

I keep on trying and trying to escape from the past
Because those days used to mean so much
We stood side by side and nothing else mattered
We were Straight Edge and at least I still am

Did you forget about what we said?
Or did it just not mean that much?
Sitting with my head in my hands
Wondering what happened to us

Now only a whisper remains of the person I once knew
We came, we conquered those days
But now, now you're gone

Don't tell me you're the same
Because you gave your heart away
And in return you got nothing


2. FOURTH OF JULY

It's a new day.
I woke up feeling wiser than I did yesterday.
I've cleaned a slate I never thought I would.
Thinking about the good times between me and you.
And I've been thinking about those time.
And how I let hatred tear me down.
And I know it's gotten us nowhere.
So it's time I let go, break free, and live my life.
Now it's time to let it go.
Because tomorrow may not come.
And I need to let you know that there's something here That we can save.
Before it's too I don't want to say these words to your Grave.
And I've been thinking about those times and how I let Hatred tear me down.
And how it's gotten us nowhere.
So this time I want to know what you're thinking.
Can we learn? Can we try?
Can we learn to forgive and forget and leave the past Behind.
And begin to live our lives without any regrets.
Yea I guess I have grown up but I am still learning.
Yea I guess I have grown up but I'm still learning Everyday.
And today I'm learning to let go.


3. TIME SLIPS AWAY

Four year of my life that I'm never getting back and it Hurts so much to realize.
The days, the years I cant never live again.
Painstaking, heart broken, and filled with regret.
Yea it's like the time is slipping through the cracks.
But now, now I wish that I could take it back but it's Never coming back.
And I thought I knew a better way.
I'd lose myself in anything that could take away the pain.
Years spent running and I never knew the cost.
But shattered mirrors and broken hearts finally showed me What I'd lose.
Yea it's like the time is slipping through the cracks.
But now, now I wish that I could take it back.
We've all been lost before we've all been knocked to the Ground.
Let go of our regrets and find the strength to turn it Around.
I know it might seem far too late
But we're just about to break these chains that have always held us back.
We've made our own mistakes but now it's time to set it Straight.
And live our lives.
Be who we need to be and let our hearts be free.
Now we live our lives.
Be who we need to be and let our hearts be free.


4. MONUMENT

When I walk through these doors.
I see the face from thousands of nights before.
And the light in their eyes makes it more than it's ever Been before.
Our blood our sweat, and all of the tears that are shed.
Our blood, our sweat, and all the words we've said.
And the promises we've kept.
I see two paths that we can take and there's a choice.
Now we have to make it.
Now we have to face it.
Can you cut your heart out and walk away from all that you Believe?
Well this world can't steal your dreams.
So join the voices building in this room.
These days save us from growing old to soon.
Every word of every song the past has wrote has become our Anthem.
And when our pens meet paper we add to it ourselves.
When I look around I see something, something we can build On.
And it's only getting closer to everything we've ever Hoped it could be.
Join the voices building in this room.
The only person that will kill it for you is you.
If you deny al the passion in this room.
So take a breath and try to see that the beauty of these Days
And the freedom they can bring can carry through our lives.
If we just take that chance and we believe.
Believe.


5. ONE SIXTEEN

And the rain keeps coming.
I haven't see the sun in days.
I remember the kids that were there for me when I needed Them the most.
Because of them I'd never leave this place.
My heart dropped anchor, this is where I'll stay.
This is the one place I'll never be alone, and the only Place I can call my home.
Coming from where my love gets it's start.
These gray clouds more then tattooed on my arm.
From 15 kids screaming out loud that we want more.
We won't back down.
We want more.
I look at you and see how we fill these rooms.
Can't you see that it's ours?
Count the numbers, count the hearts.
Can't you see that it's ours?


6. IS ANYBODY THERE (ALONE IN A CROWD)

Is anybody there?
Does anybody care?
Does anybody see what I see?
Do you remember when we used to hang out?
And we knew what we were all about
Different bands with different ideas
And I'm not talking back more than two years
But now all that's finished, gone down the drain
No more scene, no more unity schism reigns
What the fuck happened to what we said?
Was it some idiotic game we fucking played?

Is anybody there?
Does anybody care?
Does anybody see what I see?

We used to work together, band helped band
But now it's different, it's out of hand
It can't be true that I'm the only one who's proud
Of the way it used to be, am I alone in the crowd?
Gotta get back to what it was before
'Cause we forgot what we were fighting for
Let's end the bullshit, end it soon
So we can beat a path back
To our fucking roots!
