Counterparts : Prophets

Тексты песен

1. THE REFLEX TESTER.

Facing every morning sun with a sense of resentment
And a lack of admiration for everything and everyone
that I've come in contact with.
I can't hold back the truth when this
has become the extent of my existence.
I witnessed a change with my own eyes,
I did nothing to stop this.


2. ISOLATION.

The best news I've ever heard was when you said you wouldn't leave
Because I know the distance would tear us apart.
And all the things you said,
Wouldn't mean a thing if you weren't here with me.
So as you turn your back to me,
I just want to let you know that I could never do this to you.
This is where our roads divide and they split in two,
And I will never see you again.
But I respect your choice.
The familiar pain sets in again,
But I can't let this drag me down.
It's things like this that made me who I am today.
It's thing like this that helped to shape/make me who I am today,
It's every hardship that I've faced.
And I've lost hope in myself,
But I just want you to know:
As everyday goes by,
I must accept that you're now living your own life.


3. THE SANCTUARY.

We are now rooted in the ground that we were born into
And this is where we come from,
Where we will remain.
This place may have its' flaws,
But I can always call the pavement we now stand upon 'my home'.
This is our home.
Through both the areas of wealth and poverty,
I appreciate every inch of our city.
And I don't know if I could ever leave.
Our sanctuary,
Our stomping ground,
Our territory,
Our fucking home.
Love where you came from,
This is your home.
This is my home.


4. GOODBYE, MEGATON.

Our city lies in ruins and our livelihood is next
Left to build from decay with the whole world crashing down around you.
'How the fuck could we let this happen?'
And no answers come to mind.
We're caught in a steady decline and there's no deterrent.
Oh, the aftermath could bring you to your knees.
Guilt is starting to dissolve you from the inside out.
And you're grasping at your last chance for salvation,
And it's on its way.
This is our own world,
And its up to us to decide our own fate.
And even though change may be unavoidable,
It's up to us to emerge from the bottom of the barrel.
As a whole, we can impact mankind for the better.
And the earlier we realize this,
He sooner we can reassemble our lives.
Now is our chance to rebuild.


5. PROPHETS.

Others may tell you how to live
But I can assure that your life is in your own hands.
And you can mold it into any shape you want.
Though you must have faith while you're searching for the answers
That we're all longing for.
And we are left to salvage for our aspirations.
Be what you want to be,
And leave the rest behind you.
Anyone can follow blindly,
But it's up to you to rise above the masses,
And chase your dreams,
Because they will soon become reality.
You cannot lead us from our path,
As we are weighed down by our ambitions.
And all the force in the world cannot make us falter.
We are all prophets in the making,
And our legacies are beginning to unfold.
I will not go to my grave yearning for what "could have been."
I know exactly who I am,
And i know exactly what I will become.


6. A PLEA: A PROMISE.

We are quickly being led to an early grave
By the ones that were meant to nourish our growth.
And though their influence is the tallest barrier that we are left to face,
We can overcome this.
It's us against this fucking world.
But, we are armed with hope and heart,
And we're unbreakable. this is an uprising,
And we will be the ones left standing.
And if you answer this calling,
I promise you that we will remain true to ourselves,
And we can put this all behind us.
Confide in us, and we'll confide in you.
And together we are unstoppable.
We're taking back what belongs to us.
(We need to find a different way,
A way to stay true to who we are,
And and a way to overcome this.


7. CARPE DIEM.

To quote from Whitman
"O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring;
Of the endless trains of the faithless of cities fill'd with the foolish;
What good amid these, O me, O life?

Answer.

That you are here that life exists, and identity;
That the powerful play goes on, and you will contribute a verse.
That the powerful play goes on, and you will contribute a verse.
What will your verse be?


8.ONLY ANCHORS.

When you're reduced to living everyday
Carrying the weight of your conscience on your back,
Just know it can be lifted.
And you can be victorious in this war against yourself.
You've got the strength inside to turn this all around.
And I can only speak from experience,
The rest is up to you.
Whether you're stuck in the past,
Or lost in the future,
This is for you.
I'm standing my ground,
Living for right now.
And I'm finally free.
Only anchors can keep me from moving forward.


9. DARK AGES.

The sense of insignificance
It winds itself around your chest.
Surrender and submission have now become what it takes to be alive.
Just keep in mind this happens to the best of us at times,
And it's not going to get any easier.
You walk this road of desolation,
Only to end up on your knees,
But just know that you are not alone.
The only things holding you back are the lies that you refuse to challenge.
You're drowning in a sea of self destruction,
And your lungs are starting to cave in.
And when you feel that your words can only be heard in echoes,
They are more deafening than ever before.
Every day we face helps build the strength that makes us who we are.
I've lived through this,
And so can you.
Suffering in silence has become something thrown to our past.
And though the friendships that we've built are constantly falling apart,
The remaining few retain the most heart.
And I'll give you my heart.


10. STURDY WINGS.

Everything we are today stems from the marrow of our back bone
This is dedication at its finest,
And we owe everything that we have to you,
Our driving force,
Causing us to constantly better ourselves.
We are redefining the meaning of contentment.
And though the odds are against us,
We all know that we will prevail.
We will prevail.
Accepting all the negativity and turning it into fuel
For the flames that we keep burning on the inside.
Burning from the inside-out.
Consider this a thank you,
For helping us to mold our future selves.
And your words alone are not enough to destroy our commitment.
This is where i belong.
This where we belong.


11. DIGRESSION.

Our once-solid path is starting to diverge
And the space between us growing ever greater makes it hard for me to breathe.
But no amount of distance can change my feelings for you.
How can it be that a day I've always dreamed of,
Could also be a day that I wished would never come?
And we are slowly becoming two very different people,
But I won't give you up without a fight.
This is everything I've ever meant to say to you.
You could be thousands of miles away,
But I'll still see you when I close my eyes.
We've come too far to let our story end like this,
And we've come too far to let what we've built fall apart.
We both know this is love. I will never forget you.
