1. LEAPS & BOUNDS

Okay, so I'm not sure exactly where I should begin.
But I guess we could always start by
Turning off the television.
Struggling to justify what I find in the way we live our lives.

We're not afraid of the subtlety,
Within our dreams we'll speak the place we see.
I found my strength at an early age to free me from this cage.

So I refuse to be included,
Rather simply choose to elude it.
It seems I'm failing to connect...
With a system fundamentally and morally defect.

Their stories have since been written,
But what I question is, at who's decision?

It's hidden in the mystery of our adjusted history
Where we only find misery.
But I know it doesn't stop what we can be.
Our hope is exponential if we can reach our full potential.

Although our bodies grow stiffer with time
Let's not let the same thing happen to our minds.
To our minds...

As long as we are human we are bound
To make mistakes.
As long as the lessons that we learn
Are the ones that we'll take away.
As long as we are human,
We are bound to make mistakes
As long as the lessons that we learned
Are the ones that we'll take away.

Free thinking within free thought,
Holding back with our words unspoken.
I won't apologize for what I feel is right.
Still- something inside of me screams
And I feel it's weight on top of me...


2. WE, THE RESERVELESS

Needless to say, it is difficult
To hold a molded choice of the character you are
In a place that attempts a forceful persuasion of us all.

But we can hold out
We can refuse and resist.
All their efforts are seemingly relentless...

But I
Won't give up
My mind for evil men

Go!

Brothers, we are all the same.
It's what we need to see through this haze.
One mind is not enough.
Our mindful minds are all we need

If there is ever a moment where we are complacent,
To stop and see the way we've grown into hate.

Bound by a caged mind, free yourself
The basis of our being, a free will inside nobody can take.
Bound by a caged mind, think without restraint.
We have a choice, become the change we want to see in all.

Look to the people left and right,
We shouldn't look for a change in the sky.
It's a life we share, we must dispel that illusion here.

Your disguise is transparent to me.
I see right through your empty hands.
Your disguise is transparent to me.
I see right through your empty hands.

Confused and misinformed, but defined.
But where it counts, we're free,
The way it'll always be.


3. LESSONS LEARNT

I know if I never see the sun again, i'll learn to cast my own light.
Looking in, this world has never seemed so dark,
But I still hold the hope i've had from the start.

(when they come for me, i'll be long gone)
To cease what's keeping us apart.
(when they come for me, i'll be long gone)
Don't you think we should've learnt by now?
Don't you think we oughta know by now?

You let me down, you've let yourself down
Going back on all the changes you've made
Instills a sense of regret on all the time I spent trying to show you the way
I won't let you start this all over again.

The biggest step
And the hardest stretch
Is to find the peace
Within ourselves...

Because i've tried so many times,
Just to watch you fall,
The past means nothing now,
It makes no sense at all.

The biggest step
The hardest stretch
To find the peace
Within ourselves...

But it's the only option
That we have left.

I wonder if it's better off this way
Me on one side,
The world on the other
We can both be free forever.
Still, I wonder if it's better off this way,
Better off this way.


4. OFF THE WALL

Without a sense of fear, i'll try to walk this life.
Try to reflect what i feel on the inside.
You hold a blatent misinterpretation of a simpler day,
But the only thing they know about me is my name.
I accept that our perceptions on the same ideals will probably never be the same.

(throughout these trying days, my passion stays the same.
And i won't waste a chance to grow)
With everything i've ever learnt,
I'll ensure that every second here is a second earnt.
(everything i've learnt from these failures, light the road.)

I can feel assumptions cloud around us.
But what i've come to realize, is that it doesn't mean anything.
Despite this all, our goals remain the same.
It seems i'm cutting them out and it's to set them straight.

Intervention, a misdirection.
So we're all looking the other way.
But your sons are waking up, and they aren't afraid to have their say.
We can't arrive with reason if our irrational fears will block our way.

(throughout these trying days, my passion stays the same.
And i won't waste a chance to grow.)
With everything i've ever learnt,
I'll ensure that every second here is a second earnt.
(everything i've learnt from these failures, light the road.)
Who else but i, will decide when my pride is to set alight.


5. EXPERIENCES

Why is it nobody ever wants to be alone?
An easy way, i feel, to be mislead.
But you'll find another way to cease the battle in your head.

Is this the absolute?
The final quest to hide a piece of your truth.
But your sincerity always seemed so out of reach.

You think your hating is a weapon,
But your hatred is a curved blade.
The harm we do, we do to ourselves.
An eye for an eye will leave this whole world blind.

(without a heart to feel, we're nothing but hollow bodies.)

When will we realize, that everything we search for is inside.

(without a heart to feel, we're nothing but hollow bodies.)

Stuck in a crowd of the steady indifferent,
So hopelessly blissful but blind.
All hope is for something greater than this.
And you'll take anything that is left in me.

Over and under the truth,
While you're still searching for proof.
That is not my reality, just leave me be.
While the absurd provide their clarity and reason,
The reality of your realization prevails.

By all means, your continuity is valued.
Life live, be free,
And let you become what you wish to see.


6. SO THEY SAY

so you'd say if i stayed within your lines,
i'd find an easier ride, within our time.
but what you failed to mention is you'd exploit us every step of the way.
i could feel our faith in you begin to stray,
but your word always meant nothing.

forced away for a dollar figure,
just to keep you out of reach.
a man once genuine, now turned to stone.
if we only knew the things we've come to know.
a fool holds a hardened heart, a blackened soul.

(not one to be confined, in this life,
the choice that i make are my own steps to take.
not one to be denied, in this life,
the choices that i make are my own steps to take,
and i won't take no for an answer. no i won't be confined.)

we'll take these steps and move on without you.
you're not the man we thought you were.
take these steps and be proud to move on without you.

a greedy hand, hidden behind.
consuming an innocence.
this is to put you in your place.
fraudulent ideals, the real ignored, make it easier to steal.
we never thought it could be real.

we can't change the past,
but we could always change our path.
we'll take our chances somewhere else,
and you'll see what comes next.

it's only about the view you hold,
when a situation gets out of your control.
this is only way once we look past the blind reasoning.

when you hold close,
a circumstance which binds your mind,
eventually it'll change your perspective in time.

(we all carry the burden of a promise unkept.
not more than yourself and the things you'll come to regret.)


7. Complexing the simple

I haven't yet accomplished everything i need.
Tell me your sanctity lives strong,
Knowing this protest grew.

I'm left wanting to believe,
That there is more to humanity than what i've seen.
You know it's done when these words mean nothing.
I'll take away your miseries and make them mine.
Filter your thoughts, and cease the cause.
We'll find the answers in ourselves,
If we can find a moment to at least see the travelled road.
Make a choice. Find your own.

All i can ask for is time,
To fix this mess we've helped create.
This world is small, and that is our saving grace.

(as long as i have warm blood beneath my skin,
As long as i have the breath to breathe again,
I'll strive for what's real 'till there's nowhere to turn.
As long as i have warm blood.)

The statement lacks but is it so hard to say?
I can see no reason why we can't reach each other.

Can you tell me what's the more important fact,
Our lives, or the times and trials within them?
However long your introspect will take.
Are you listening? Because this is the world i know.


8. ORPHAN

Tell me stories of your recent past.
And we'll try to make sense of it all.
I know you want to put it all behind you,
But it seems that its not so simple,
And we don't have the time.
To sit and figure out where we can go from here.
We can bring out the witnesses,
Rely on progress designed by intellect.

(we'll love like we're brothers, draw breath like we're drowning.
The strength to make it through is in you.
We'll love like we're brothers, draw breath like we're drowning.
The strength to make it through is in you. )

There are only two positions,
The wicked and the victim.
But that's what you get for buying into such a crooked system.

The only faith i hold,
That a new consciousness will be born.
And we will be held accountable for all we've done.
We'll look back and wonder how we ever let it be this way.

(unless we begin at the start, then we can do nothing.)
We'll live like we're alive,
With the love we hold in our hearts.
(unless we begin at the start, then we can do nothing.)

(with my eyes tight shut, in a time like then,
I wonder if you'd ever feel this way again.
Because i know that i'd feel the same.
What are we waiting for today? What will we ever take away.
I don't know why i lie awake. What are we waiting for today?)

(unless we begin at the start, then we can do nothing.)
We'll live like we're alive,
With the love we hold in our hearts.
(unless we begin at the start, then we can do nothing.)
We can start to push all else aside.


9. POSITIVELY SHIFTED

Sometimes i wonder must this all stay the same?
There must be a consensus amongst us by now.
I'm hoping that you feel the same,
Cause now i'm looking at this world revolutionarly.

Throw out their hypocrisy,
And get what's better for you and me.
Push it aside, but bear in mind.
You'll find your anger wasted time.

And for those who feel the same,
We look around this place,
And see so many things i wish we could erase.
Just take a look at our history,
And know that our history will repeat.
Unless we make a change, take a hold our reins.
Before we fade away,
And everything we know becomes the same.

We'll make our pass out to a getaway,
To live the lives we're sought for ever since we were young,
Sometimes it feels like conversation with the sun.

(if only we were one, and it meant that all out angers were undone.
We'd brave the greatest storms and carry on,
It if meant that all our angers were undone.
Find the will to become one.)

How are we to keep the wolves at bay,
Unless we know that everybody here has a heart that not empty.
Everybody here deserves to have their say,
Once we reach that place, we will know.
The dawn of a new sun will bring us all a brighter day.
But your actions speak volumes on the person you've become,
And the company you keep reflects the lessons you've betrayed.

At the end of the day,
Tell a friend and let them know,
That our cause, is a struggle worth engaging in.
Finding positivity within yourself,
Is more than finding solace in their easy words, when we're surrounded by their apathy,
You'll find a strength you've never known, to survive their warped reality.


10. I. SINISTER, IN MANY FORMS

When it comes, i'm not afraid to face the day my time is up.
I only find myself within.
Don't be afraid by the uncertainties of what we can't be shown.
Because we both know what they think they know,
We'll come to learn in time.

There's still a primal fear that resides in us,
Without distinguishing that it's the very thing that's dividing us.
But that just scratches the surface of what we face.

Influence induced from every side,
Telling you how to live and what to buy.
Don't you realize?
It's the same thing told in a million different ways.
(i won't be held down by anyone.)
It's just a bold assumption at how we spend our days.
If you leave their ideals behind, it's your life to define.

You've see them all, blame the men that hide within a cave.
And then create boundaries to change how we behave.
The beauty of truth is there can be no dispute.

Open up our eyes and see it's staring us in the face.
Knowledge is power, and you've gotta learn the rules to play the game.
We've been blindsided by a corporate herd,
Only serves the wealthy's need.

They've had an infinite amount of time,
But what they've created is only a state of mind.


11. II. SOFTLIGHT

(Instrumental)


12. III. NEVERMORE

While we're abused, our intentions are misconstrued.
When in fact we're in the middle of a sickening story.
Simply lead to play the fool.

There is defeat in sight, with every word that i write.
Creating nothing but a miserable cycle.

So what's left to say? My friends maintain that everything is fine.
(skeptical of all that surrounds us, misdirected by the walking blind.)
Could you not consider, they couldn't even matter in this world?
(after all the battles within ourselves, the battles within ourselves.)
I don't understand it.
But a resolution lies in sight,
If we reject it from our heart and mind.
Hope that somehow you find your way.

(everything begins with the resolves to take the first step.
Waiting on a sign to tell you when wont help you to forget.)

(everything begins. Without action, nothing changes. We remain the same.)
Without our change, this place won't be what we see in our dreams.
We'll remain. We will stay, we will change.
