1. 40 DEEP

Crooked youth 2012
Crooked youth, check your health
Crooked youth, nothing to lose
This is crooked youth

We're a voice for the voiceless, a heart for the weak
Opinions through violence, this mould doesn't fit
Go home, they scream in the street
But home is where the heart is, the question is
Where's your head and does it match your heart?

When all else is fading, when all else is fading away

Go home, they scream in the streets
We're a voice for the voiceless, a heart for the weak
When all else is fading
Go home, they scream in the streets
We're a voice for the voiceless, a heart for the

I heard a story about a man
Who parted with his soul, the world to gain
Freedom, is what we aim to provide
At the edge of a knife, doesn't mean you're alive

Part with your soul, forgive me for losing it

They'll rally round the family with a pocket full of shells
And finish the night aimed at hitler himself

We're all prisoners of society, lets revolt

Tear up the mansions, break down the walls
Tear up the pages on societies rules


2. BLOOD KNUCKLES

Seems like every time I try to hide
You pull me up
And give me a reason to try
There's no one to fight for this truth

Rise and shine
To a new day
Overlooking the peril of power on the streets
But the pain won't be constant
No, the pain won't last
This power, a new philosophy
Once forgotten is now a commodity
No, the pain of this hatred won't last
(Will not last)

This is a new love rising
This is a new love rising

Now it seems like every time I try to hide
You pull me up
And give me a reason to try
There's no one to fight for this truth
So rise and shine

Bring in your squad of soldiers
To barricade the door
Afraid of the outcome
Afraid of the speakers of love

Break down the door
Break down the door

This is a new love rising
This is a new love rising
Praise the victor on a glorious day
One man is weak
But men bonded are strong

Now it seems like every time I try to hide
You pull me up
And give me a reason to try

(There's no one to fight for this truth)
What will I say to convince you?
(There's no one to fight for this truth)
That the strength of the wolf is the pack
(There's no one to fight for this truth)
And the strength of the wolf is the pack
(So rise and shine)
Yeah it is

Rise and shine, young victors
Rise and shine
Rise and shine


3. BIG TROUBLE

This is my quest
Once related now means nothing else to me
Fall, I have fallen by the ways of mediocrity
Leave, it's what my heart screams,
Never knowing what else [?]
God, when will the punishment end

This freedom took my being
Don't bite the hand that feeds
We're done being your puppets
Long live the master

So sick and tired, so sick and tired of not living our dreams

For as long as I can remember
For as long as I can recall
There's no one that's lived forever
'Cause the earth will bury us all

This is not my goodbye
I'll be back again
For the answer to mean something new to me
Dead, we'll be dead to the ways of mediocrity
Life, is what defines us you'll never know till it bites you
God, when will the punishment end

GO!

Check one
This is my only quest
Check two
Bring it on back, bring it on back, bring it on back
Check me
Ringing out the truth
Check yours
Leave your doubt at the door

So sick and tired, so sick and tired of not living our dreams

For as long as I can remember
For as long as I can recall
There's no one that's lived forever
'Cause the earth will bury us all

This is not my goodbye
I’ll be back again
So welcome my hand
I’ll be back, I’ll be back
And here I’ll stand

I hope that you find
The pieces of everything you've left behind
'Cause I know that you wanted
You wanted so much more
So much than you've settled for

There's so much, there’s much more for you
You've settled for less, you’ve settled for less than you

For as long as I can remember
For as long as I can recall
There's no one that's lived forever
'Cause the earth will bury us all
The earth will bury us all
The earth will bury us all

The earth will bury us all

Check one


4. LOST WORLD

This is a blank page, we have begun
Determination's my enemy
Push for the next creation
Once again the possibilities

So keep your mind clear
Deny the rush, deny the rush
So keep your mind clear
Don't follow, don't follow the world

Forced bonds from a reckless mind
You lived your life for this
Feeling trapped, limited mind
Leads to disbelief
Believe in love, it exists

This wilderness is just too dark, now let me go
Is this living in a fools paradise?
That someone can make it out alive
I've gotta find a way out somewhere, somehow
Just let me go

I've got to find a way out
Taking advice from the sheep
Never leads to success

Has someone turned out the lights?
It's getting harder to see

Stop living a lie, we never wanted this
We never wanted this
Start living your life, loves too good
It's too good

Forced bonds from a reckless mind
You lived your life for this
Feeling trapped, limited mind
Believe in love, it exists

This wilderness is just too dark, now let me go
Is this living in a fools paradise?
That someone can make it out alive
I've gotta find a way out somewhere, somehow
Just let me go

Why won't you let me go?


5. MOONSHINE

Time ticks by and I spend it wondering
When where how and why, amongst other things
My thoughts are everything, that trouble me
And in trouble all I fear I'll ever be

The sun will speak your name to the moon
And the stars will shine
Don't you let that go
Don't deny yourself

The sun will speak your name to the moon
And the stars will shine
Don't you ever let that go
Just hold out till the stars align

With a future so short why hold back from love?
Why waste time on the things that mean nothing

You're worth more than that
Don't deny me, don't deny yourself

The sun will speak your name to the moon
And the stars will shine
Don't you let that go
Don't deny yourself anymore


6. HEAD COLD

So this is not a question of remorse
Who are you to know that there's more to this story
That the inside are often misinformed
This is not a question of remorse
Just one of satisfaction

You know nothing of sleepless nights
Try to sleep with a box on your head
Teased, battered, and broken and cold
You know nothing of sleepless nights

Once a successful man
Now a believing in violence man
Through his youth, an offended man
Played with fire, a risky man

Now nothing matters (I followed my dreams, took my chances)
Not a question of remorse (Just one of satisfaction)

As far as I can see, there's nothing here for me
Nothing that I can be shown (Nothing that I can be shown)
These days I feel like I'm just running out of time
'Cause I can't do this all alone

Let me say one more time
I've never seen anything but guilt in your eyes
Why not ask for help, this is all you need
But then again, who am I to judge someone else
I've been dealing on my own for years

Once a successful man
Now a believing in violence man
Through his youth, an offended man

Play with fire, you will get burnt
My, the tables have turned

As far as I can see, there's nothing here for me
Nothing that I can be shown (Nothing that I can be shown)
These days I feel like I'm just running out of time
'Cause I can't do this all alone

All Alone
Fight the power, you believe in violence
I believe in freedom
Fight the power, you believe in silence
I believe in freedom
Fight the power, you believe in violence
I believe in freedom
Fight power, you believe in freedom


7. ALL WE NEED

Bust free, the weight of this burden (The weight of this burden)
So many preachers in the street, try to deceive

I've got love, that's all me, recall, the things I've seen
Not like a wolf in sheep's clothing
Deceiving game, that's all me
Let go of following lies (Let go)
This world will pass you by
Let go of following blind (Let go)
Blind leading blind let go of that

I've got love, that's all that I need
I've found peace, to put this feeble heart at ease
'Coz this love is all we need
This love is we need

That's all me and that's all

We've been held for so long
That the motives now boiling inside
Loves all we need yeah it's all we need
So bust free the burden

So you've listened to the world
But advice not experienced, is a waste of time (Is a waste of time)
So you've listened to the world
Love is all that I can give, take freely (Take freely)

I've got love, that's all that I need
I've found peace, to put this feeble heart at ease

'Coz this love is all we need
This love is all we need


8. DEAD LIZARD

Repetition's a game
Once again visions failing and
Doctors are coming my way
Queues of big ideas hit the street
Yet still nothing's changed
Oh, I've never thought that the peril of man
Lies in the beholder
Yet still the blind lead the blind
Is there something in the water?

Live your life like a dreamer
Experience the world
Live your life like a dreamer
Let the sand man guide your thoughts
Live your life like a dreamer
Chase all your loves
Live your life like a dreamer
The revolt has begun


9. GET WRECKED

GET WRECKED!
Forever waiting on these crooked streets
Forever waiting for the second chance that we need
Forever waiting, forever waiting

Picture this
An unarmed portrait of a boy who cried wolf
A difference between a weirdo and a revolution, is all it is
No matter who you are, or where you've been
You can't tell me something without crooked teeth
This is your chance to fight for the macs and rejects and the pigs

This is your chance to fight
This is your chance to fight

No matter what your circumstances
No matter who you are
Everyone deserves second chances
Think twice before you say goodbye
We've all had our chance to see the light (Our chance to see the light)
Think twice before you say goodbye

So I will not be afraid, to break the norm
Held in high regard by a leper's wife
No class for the heroes
In the arms of death, not a gracious role
No class for the heroes

Who's hard when it's easy?!
No one, but the weak and the sleazy (THE SLEAZY)
Who's hard when it's easy?!
Gotta trade your comfort for a life full of good

SHOW ME YOUR TEETH
GET WRECKED


10. HATERS GONNA HATE

Who cares if they laugh out loud
I'd wear a badge of a cat saying happy birthday to you all
Still stable enough to provide the story of a crazy man
What have you done but sit around and wish for a dream
When nothing else could be said for your hostility

You know, I'm not like the others
And I can't be taken by your actions of false belief
You know, I'm not like the others
Too cold to face the truth and now
You've turned your back

Hold in your feelings, let cool just rest in
It's ok, feeling what you want is overrated anyway
You've sat there for days and never once felt yourself
Intimidation disguises the truth
But what's the point of ever living
if you don't live for you

HATERS GONNA HATE

I believe in a world where peace is
Not a slogan but a reality
Where the basis of our existence does not rely
On the trends set by those before us
I believe in a world where people are not judged
By the clothes they wear or the music they listen to
But by the content of their characters

Part with your hate, return to your youth
When all else fails, return to your youth


11. BARE BONES

Who is this boy that stands before me
No colour in his face, his eyes stare right at me
It's almost as if I knew him once
As if he were a fiend of mine

This is my confession
I bear my soul tonight
The things I wish I could rewrite

Lost in a cloud of my own doubt
I know I'll lose what I can't live without
It's in this black haze I find myself
I'm short of living and just short of death

This is my confession
I bear my soul tonight
The things I wish I could rewrite
These are my transgressions
I hold them to the light
Just give me a chance to make them right

His head cast down, his shoulders slumped
I need to see him clearer
But to my dismay, I find myself
Looking in the mirror
