1. WAKE UP

How do you sleep when you're nothing but a fake
How do you pretend you're suddenly awake
When you're under a deep trance covering your face
Can't run from your demons, they're numbering your days

Fell asleep, you're in a dream you call reality
You've forgotten what is real
I don't believe that who you see is what you wanna be
But you can't change the way you feel

You're living in the darkness
Afraid to see the light

Wake up (wake up)
Just open your eyes, your eyes
Wake up (wake up)
You're living a lie
So just open, open, open your eyes

Open your eyelids to see what you've become
A person that's lying deceiving who you love
You'll be sitting in silence believing you're the one
But under the diamond you're a zero in the rough

Trapped inside this state of mind
How could you be so blind
You're living a mistake
The more you hide behind your lies, the more you realize
That there is no way to escape

You're living in the darkness
Afraid to see the light

Wake up (wake up)
Just open your eyes, your eyes
Wake up (wake up)
You're living a lie
So just open, open, open your eyes
Are closed and you're fooling no one with the lies you've told are the reason that you can't open your eyes
Are closed and you're fooling no one with the lies you've told are the reason that you're blind

Wake up (wake up)
Just open your eyes
Wake up (wake up)
You're living a lie
So just open, open, open
Open, open, open
Wake up (wake up)
You're living a lie
Open, open, open your eyes


2. CRAZY

Am I going crazy?
Yeah, I think you made me

I give, you take
You always push me away
I love, you hate
It's always, always the same

You're always taking, taking never giving back
To me it's in the past
But tell me how you live with that
You always love to hate with every single breath
But since the disconnect

You see the life you wish you had
Yeah, you see the life you wish you had

Am I going crazy?
Yeah, I think you made me
Cuz I hate the way that you make me feel
Am I going crazy?

I can't, I won't
Won't bend until I break
I do, you don't
It's always, always the same

All I wanted was for you to understand my mind
I'm over standing by your side
It isn't worth the time
All you wanted was to push me somewhere past the line
Push me somewhere out of sight
Push me somewhere out of mind

Am I going crazy?
Yeah, I think you made me
Cuz I hate the way that you make me feel
Am I going crazy?

Always the same

Am I going crazy?
Yeah, I think you made me
Cuz I hate the way that you make me feel
Am I going crazy?

Am I going crazy?
(I can't change the way that you make me feel)

Yeah, I think you made me
(Have you seen me lately? It's the way you made me)
Going crazy?
(I hate the way that you make me feel)
Yeah, I'm going crazy
Am I going crazy?
Yeah, I think you made me
Am I going crazy?


3. MY NAME

Almost all my life they told me that I couldn't
Dreaming every night they told me that I shouldn't
Told me that I should've quit that I'll never finish it
That I'll never reach the top and no one knows that I exist
But I kept climbing, kept grinding every day
And I kept writing everything I had to say
Now they wanna shut me up, shut me in, shut me out
Yeah I'd be mad to if someone made me shut my mouth
But it's different, when you never had a voice
When no one ever listened so you never had a choice
Never had a path only people in your way
Never had a mask or a reason to be fake
All you had was you and a reason to succeed
All you had to do was keep believing in the dream
All you ever knew was being weak and on your knees
But you're only gonna lose if you don't learn from your defeats

(Yeah, gotta make the world know my name)

I've got my head in the clouds
My feet on the ground
Yeah, I'm standing out and I am not afraid
With my head in the clouds
Never looking down
Yeah, I'll never stop
Until the world knows my name

I wish I could go back
Back when we were kids
When everything had passion
With everything we did
Everything was honest
Everything that we were promised
And the thought of what we wanted
Is what makes it so ironic that its different
Than the shit that we were told
How the rules were written how the story really goes
Everyone's your friend, give everyone a chance
So everyone pretends that they really give a damn
Man fuck that
Nothing's ever what it seems
People stepping over people, people praying on the weak
Cause its business and we're feeding the machine
Time is money, money's living so we live with the disease
What happened to the magic, what happened to the thrill
What happened to the passion, the way we used to feel
All we see is fashion, fame and dollar bills
And now I'm looking back I wish the world I saw was real

I've got my head in the clouds
My feet on the ground
Yeah, I'm standing out and I am not afraid
With my head in the clouds
Never looking down
Yeah, I'll never stop
Until the world knows my name

I woke up one day with the world outside telling me I should walk away
But I can't, I won't break, that's how I know it everything will be okay
I woke up one day with the world outside telling me I should walk away
But I can't, I won't break, that's how I know that everything will be okay
I woke up one day with the world outside telling me I should walk away
But I can't, I won't break, I'll make the world know my name

I've got my head in the clouds
My feet on the ground
Yeah, I'm standing out and I am not afraid
With my head in the clouds
Never looking down
Yeah, I'll never stop
Until the world knows my name

I woke up one day with the world outside telling me I should walk away
But I can't, I won't break, I'll make the world know my name
I woke up one day with the world outside telling me I should walk away
But I can't, I won't break, I'll make the world know my name


4. GONE FOREVER

(With all we've been through
I know I'll never miss you
Because you're not who I remember
You're gone...)

It all seemed so perfect
I believed everything was worth it
But you changed, started turning
Into a monster, a different person
Now you keep and hide your demons
And give fake a brand new meaning
You gave me a million reasons to run
But one was all I needed

Now you're nothing but a memory
So R.I.P to who you used to be

With all we've been through
I know I'll never miss you
Because you're not who I remember
You're gone forever
What I've been through
Felt like it wasn't with you
Because you're not who I remember
You're gone forever

You played games, made excuses
I'm done with all your shit, and the truth is
You forced me to do this
Pushed me cause you knew I'd lose it
You bend me to where I'm breaking
I should've know you'd try to play me
Every breath is a step I'm taking
A step away from the pain you gave me

Now you're nothing but a memory
So R.I.P to who you used to be

With all we've been through
I know I'll never miss you
Because you're not who I remember
You're gone forever
What I've been through
Felt like it wasn't with you
Because you're not who I remember
You're gone forever

(Yeah, gone forever
No coming back
Listen...)

Everything we've been through
I didn't see it in you
With all your fuckin' issues I just can't continue
I wont defend you, I wont pretend to act like I believe
'Cause now I read you like a menu
So please just get out of my face
You just keep crowding my space
With every inch you take you push me in a thousand ways
So now I'm counting the days
That I've allowed you to stay here past your welcome
I'd say about an hour late

With all we've been through
I know I'll never miss you
Because you're not who I remember
You're gone forever
What I've been through
Felt like it wasn't with you
Because you're not who I remember
You're gone forever


5. BROKEN

I'm standing in the dark
I've been damaged from the start
But I know it in my heart
That I won't be, be broken

You pushed me off to that dark space
Between a rock and a hard place
You hoped you found what would slow me down
But there ain't no stopping my heart rate
It could've been easy to part ways
But now you just feed me this parfait
Of bullshit with your lies mixed
You can keep your games at the arcade

It's nothing new to me, what you do to me
I've seen it all time and time again
I had to fall for me to find my head
I'm staying true to me, yeah, I know who to be
It might be hard for you to comprehend
That where we are in life is not the end

I'm standing in the dark
I've been damaged from the start
But I know it in my heart
That I won't be, be broken

Be broken
Be broken

Who would I be if I gave in?
Didn't believe in my statements?
I dimmed the lights and I hid from life
And just buried the dreams that I'm chasing?
Who would I be if I wasted
Days and weeks in the basement?
If I up and quit and said fuck this shit
How would I reach amazing?

It's nothing new to me, what you do to me
I've seen it all time and time again
I had to fall for me to find my head
I'm staying true to me, yeah, I know who to be
It might be hard for you to comprehend
That where we are in life is not the end

I'm standing in the dark
I've been damaged from the start
But I know it in my heart
That I won't be, be broken

Be broken
Be broken

When the walls are closing in around me
When the walls are closing in around me
Can I escape from my surroundings?

I was standing in the dark
I was damaged from the start
But I knew it in my heart
That I won't be broken
I was standing in the dark
I was damaged from the start
But I knew it in my heart
That I won't be, be broken

Be broken
Be broken


6. FORGOTTEN

(Six feet from the bottom
I'm drowning in the water
Will I reach the air that keeps me here?
Or will I be forgotten?)

Will I sink or will I swim if I can't stand?
Drifting farther all alone in the ocean
I can see the end, will I breathe again
Or wash away like a footprint in the sand?
I'm still fighting but the current carries me away
I try to surface but I'm caught beneath the waves
I'm slipping further, I'm sinking under

I close my eyes, frozen inside of my mind
I know I swim and I live, I know I don't and I die
I'm hoping that I survive 'cause at this moment in life
I got the shiver within that's growing colder with time

Six feet from the bottom
I'm drowning in the water
Will I reach the air that keeps me here
Or will I be forgotten?

I feel the air leave my lungs as I sink below
Falling faster as I'm dragged into the undertow
I'm losing hope and I'm growing cold
Holding on when I feel like letting go
I keep pretending that someday I'm gonna make it out
Thinking heavy that's what always seems to pull me down
I'm slipping further, I'm sinking under

I see the sky, I'm freezing barely alive
I feel the cold in my bones, alone preparing goodbyes
I know the air in the night, I know it's stereotypes
I see it flowing like an ocean with my very own eyes

Six feet from the bottom
I'm drowning in the water
Will I reach the air that keeps me here
Or will I be forgotten?

Every inch is a battle
Every breath is a war
Every minute's a struggle
I can't fight this anymore

(Six feet from the bottom
I'm drowning in the water)

Six feet from the bottom
I'm drowning in the water
Will I reach the air that keeps me here
Or will I be forgotten?

Be forgotten
Will I be forgotten?
Will I reach the air that keeps me here
Or will I be forgotten?


7. ENEMY

(You are your own worst enemy)
(You are your own worst enemy)

You say what you want to me
And expect me to just decree
But when I tell you what I believe
You try to hate on my honesty
Cause lies are what you wanna see

How am I to blame?
(You are your own worst enemy)

Hate me for everything I'm saying
It is never changing
(And sometimes the truth hurts)
You hate me because you hate yourself

It's easy to stay the same
You think that everyone else should change
I know it's easy to look away
But when it's blowing up in your face
You point the finger to escape

How am I to blame?
(You are your own worst enemy)

Hate me for everything I'm saying
It is never changing
(And sometimes the truth hurts)
You hate me because you hate yourself

The truth behind the lies will always come to light
You're only gonna hurt yourself in time
You feel as if you need, you need an enemy
If only you could see it's you, not me

(You are your own worst enemy)
You, you are your own worst enemy
(You are your own worst enemy)

Hate me for everything I'm saying
It is never changing
(And sometimes the truth hurts)
You hate me because you hate yourself
It's you not me, you not me
Your own worst enemy
It's you not me


8. NOWHERE TO RUN

[Danny Case:]
I feel it coming on, something is changing us
And when the sun goes down, we've got nowhere to run

Into the night when the shadows in my head come out to play
Not gonna fight 'cause I know that there is nowhere to escape
Black out the sun, I've come undone, my thoughts are racing
They're out for blood, can't get enough, can't get enough

[Matt Brandyberry:]
I see what I'm becoming, as a part of me now pacing, I can't shape this
I tell myself it's nothing, but I know deep down
No matter what I do, it's gonna find a way out

[Danny Case:]
I feel it coming on, something is changing us
And when the sun goes down, we've got nowhere to run
I feel it coming on, the dark before the dawn
And when the sun goes down, we've got nowhere to run

There are lies by the creatures that I'm creeping in my mind
And I won't hide 'cause I know that gonna find me every time
Black out the sun, I've come undone, my thoughts are racing
They're out for blood, can't get enough, can't get enough

[Matt Brandyberry:]
I see what I'm becoming, as a part of me now caving, I can't take this
I'm trying not to hold it 'cause I know deep down
No matter what I do, it's gonna find a way out

[Danny Case:]
I feel it coming on, something is changing us
And when the sun goes down, we've got nowhere to run
I feel it coming on, the dark before the dawn
And when the sun goes down, we've got nowhere to run

[Matt Brandyberry:]
I tell myself it's nothing, but I know deep down
No matter what I do, it's gonna find a way out

[Danny Case:]
I feel it coming on, something is changing us
And when the sun goes down, we've got nowhere to run
I feel it coming on, the dark before the dawn
And when the sun goes down, we've got nowhere to run
We've got nowhere to run


9. LET GO

You're gone and all that's left are the pieces
You left me without any reason to put them together
Now that you're never coming back
All I have is the soul inside
Cause I never got to tell you goodbye
Well, I wanted to, to give all my life for you, for you

How can I survive (how can I survive)
Without you by my side?

I know I need to move on
Know, it all feels so wrong
I left you alone, I'm not ready to let go
Cause everyday I still see your face
I never thought it would be this way
I'm still holding on to the world I used to know
I'm not ready to let go

This pain will never go away
And I will never be the same
Can't you see this misery is killing me
Is there a way we can hit rewind
Turn back the pages, go back in time
Cause I couldn't save you
It's always on my mind, my mind

How can I survive (how can I survive)
Without you by my side?

I know I need to move on
Know, it all feels so wrong
I left you alone, I'm not ready to let go
Cause everyday I still see your face
I never thought it would be this way
I'm still holding on to the world I used to know
I'm not ready to let go

I would bring the heavens out to find you
I can't live another day without you
So many things I need to say
But now it's too late

I know I need to move on
Know, it all feels so wrong
I left you alone, I'm not ready to let go
Cause everyday I still see your face
I never thought it would be this way
I'm still holding on to the world I used to know
I'm not ready to let go

(I'm not ready to let go...)


10. ON MY OWN

If I believe I'm halfway there before I even try
You've seen me falling down, now watch me as I rise
Even the darkest nights will end
But like the sun, I'll rise again
These ups and downs that lie ahead
Can't touch me now as I ascend
Ever since this climb began
There's no one there to guide my hand
Out from the crowd, I try to stand
And I can make it

On my own, I can make it
On my own, I will face it
And I am never letting go
I can make it on my own, own
I can make it on my own, own
I can make it on my own

Silently the ghost of you is fading from my eyes
And these, these ties that bind are broken, now I rise
They try to bring me down 'cause they're below me
Acting like they even know me
Who I am and where I'm going
They're just mad they can't control me
My whole life I took things slowly
But now I know that they can't hold me
From my chance my one and only
'Cause I can make it

On my own, I can make it
On my own, I will face it
And I am never letting go
I can make it on my own

I had to fall a thousand times
To learn to live, to be alive
But the darkest paths can lead to light

If I believe I'm halfway there before I even try
You've seen me falling down now watch me rise

On my own, I can make it
On my own, I will face it
And I am never letting go
I can make it on my own, own
I can make it on my own, own
I can make it on my own


11. THE FUTURE

It's the last time that I ask why
I'm overlooked and I'm passed by
You can't grasp my shit, that's fine
Can't see the truth through glass eyes
You're half-blind; in fact, I'm
On my way to the back nine
I'm coming out swinging a man on a mission
And breaking new ground like a land mine
Can't stop my ambitions, can't stop my commitment
My very existence is winning the game
Every minute I'm given I'm thinking
Of living it different, you live it the same
A vivid display, what are you thinking?
I'm building a vision, you're digging a grave
I'm in a position to have an opinion
Don't need your permission to give it away
Give it a rest, this is the end
You cannot prevent what you're fighting against
We live in this shit, we didn't pretend
We're the percentage you'll never forget
Look at the math, look at what's left
You can't represent what you couldn't accept
Since the beginning, I knew you were ignorant
That is the difference you can't understand
What would you do with nothing to lose
Nothing to live for but something to prove?
You don't have a clue, you got it confused
You couldn't walk 20 steps in our shoes
Every minute you're ducking from view
Can't run from the truth that's coming for you
We are the many and you are the few

We are the future, we are the future
We're the future and we have just begun
We are the truth, the chosen ones
We are the new, the past is gone
We are the future and we have just begun
We are the future

It's a new day and a new way
The future brings a new game
A view change, a crusade
It's a journey to the new age
So you may want to take
This time to pack a suitcase
We're coming, you're going 'cause we are the chosen
Yeah, this is our moment, you're too late
That's it, I have spoken, I told you it's hopeless
You thought I was joking but when did I laugh
The smile you noticed was me overflowing
From joy and emotion from ending the past
Sending it back, like something was open
Like something was broken, it went in the trash
Day One is over, The Future's approaching
The embers are glowing, we're spreading the ash
We're flipping the script, spinning this shit
You've been evicted, six-six and a kick
You're finished, that's it, a swing and a miss
You're dead in the wind 'cause your wings have been clipped
We're giving it lift, you're wishing you did
You're stuck in the middle and sinking again
You are the end, we are where it begins

We are the future, we are the future
We're the future and we have just begun
We are the truth, the chosen ones
We are the new, the past is gone
We are the future and we have just begun

Time has come, ready or not, it's waiting for no one
Time has come, ready or not, we are the chosen
Time has come, ready or not, it's waiting for no one
Time has come, ready or not

We are the future, we are the future
We're the future and we have just begun
We are the truth, the chosen ones
We are the new, the past is gone
We are the future and we have just begun
We are the future
