1. WHERE THE SUN NEVER SLEEPS

I live in the valley by the sea
Lined with the scent of orange trees.
This is the place that's always loved me.
I wake where the sun never sleeps,
In-between the mountains and where the water and sky meet.

This is the place I was raised,
My family and my friends.
This is my everything.
This is the place I was saved,
My beginning and end,
I wouldn't trade it for anything.

And Just because I leave you doesn't mean you leave my mind.
I think about you all the time.
This is my solid ground, this sun isn't going down, down, never going down.
And I have seen a lot of amazing things,
But there's no feeling like coming home brings.
Now nothing can bring me down, down, down, never bring me down.

Just look at the view,
If this is wrong then I don't wanna be true.
If you're not here then I don't wanna be you.
Even if I tried I couldn't forget,
It only makes sense that my heart belongs where the sun sets.
And when I start to smell the salt from the sea,
I know I'm close,
I'm coming home.

And Just because I leave you doesn't mean you leave my mind.
I think about you all the time.
This is my solid ground, this sun isn't going down, down, never going down.
And I have seen a lot of amazing things,
But there's no feeling like coming home brings.
Now nothing can bring me down, down, down, never bring me down.

Orange County, this one's for you!

And Just because I leave you doesn't mean you leave my mind.
I think about you all the time.
This is my solid ground, this sun isn't going down, down, never going down.
And I have seen a lot of amazing things,
But there's no feeling like coming home brings.
Now nothing can bring me down, down, down, never bring me down.

I think about you all the time.
Down, down, never bring me down.
Down, down, never bring me down.


2. WHAT GOES AROUND

You're fed up
It never shuts up
You're seeing red
Once again you've had more than enough
Patience wearing thin
Your thoughts all turn to a blur
Your head and your heart turn to lightning and thunder
All you want is five minutes of peace
So you raise your fist and let loose the beast

What goes around
What goes around
What goes around goes around and around
What goes around
What goes around
What goes around goes around and around and around

We are your children raised with the back of a hand
Go!
And I know that we've done wrong but we're not stupid
We've learned and we wont make the same mistakes that you did


3. FAITH IN THE UNTAMED

From the soul of the unnamed
To the devastating depths of the heads and the hearts of the shamed
With the patience like the fury of a freight train
I’ll always have faith in the untamed
I have faith in the untamed

No room to think when digression is fought
Progression of thought dies and goes right out the door
It’s hard to move on when tradition is the whore
That keeps your feet nailed to the frozen floor
Now it weighs down your mind
And once again left you deaf, dumb and blind
But I have faith that one day
We’ll have the strength to rip our every single page
I have faith

You’ll find no peace from this
You’ll still be empty
It will never end
This tradition is a downfall
It’s hard to let go when you’re still holding on
You’ll find no peace
You’ll still be empty
You better believe we’re breaking boundaries

A routine for the uninspired
For the hearts that lack any fire

You’ll find no peace from this
You’ll still be empty
It will never end
This tradition is a downfall
It’s hard to let go when you’re still holding on
You’ll find no peace
You’ll still be empty
You better believe we’re breaking boundaries

You put your thoughts in dying hands
While you wade through the quicksand

You put your thoughts in dying hands
While you wade through the quicksand
You put your thoughts in dying hands
While you wade through the quicksand


4. AMBER

Her name is amber
She has eyes like her mother
She's beautiful and bright the whole worlds in front of her
She has a smile that could end a war
Yet no one wants her and she has nothing to care for
Shes only 14 and she thinks
Why is the weight of the world crashing down on me
Cause as of late the sun doesn't seem to shine so bright
And the place where my heart once was has lost its fight

She's on her own
And as she's braves her storm
All alone

She screams oh
I've had enough please make this go
This sea is rough and I'm drowning slow
Her mind numbing pain has her lost in the undertow
I just wish she knew she didn't have to be alone

You don't have to be alone
You're not alone
You're not alone

Her arms are locked in the devils chains
And her heart, broken and trapped in a steel cage.
She can't catch her breath as she chokes on the pain
So she brings her pain to the surface of her skin.

Your frozen agony burns you. Can't even begin to know
The nightmare that you've been through.
Only you can break the cycle that plagues you
There is a light you just have to see it through.

She's on her own
And as she's braves her storm
All alone

She screams oh
I've had enough please make this go
This sea is rough and I'm drowning slow
Her mind numbing pain has her lost in the undertow
I just wish she knew she didn't have to be alone

She screams oh
I've had enough please make this go
This sea is rough and I'm drowning slow
Her mind numbing pain has her lost in the undertow
But braves her storm
You are not alone


5. WOLVES AT THE DOOR

Our heroes left to die. We push our young ones to the side
And hung bright minds out to dry
In the downpour, we'll drown if we dont find some truth
This is our nation without a roof

The fire of this hopelessness ignites

The fury of misfortune strikes
The fury of misfortune strikes

Supreme isolation reigns

The wolves are at the door
We walk on common ground
It's in our hearts to help those that have been shut out
And if just one, we are all the tired and the poor
So lift your lamp before we break down the door

New colossus, they fall on blind eyes
And your teeming shores, they multiply
Naked as the birth of a new day
Amazing grace please show your sick and hungry a new fate

The wolves are at the door
We walk on common ground
It's in our hearts to help those that have been shut out
And if just one, we are all the tired and the poor
So lift your lamp before we break down the door

It is the obligation of those who have everything
To help those who have nothing
Nothing !


6. SOME KIND OF HOPE

In a world that can't, we can
In a world that hates, we understand
We are some kind of love
We're at the end of our rope
We are some kind of hate
We are some kind of hope

In a world that cant, we can
In a world that hates, we understand
In a world that wont
Well, we've got the world by the throat
We are some kind of hope

I'll see through every inch of doubt
I am the moon when the sun goes down
And ill reflect its shine its my life
I will define

"I woke up today and felt my age for the first time
In both my mind and body
And my thoughts are less of fitting in
And more, more of being a better man."

I just want to be a better man

A wrecking ball of warmth is beating in my chest
And my head is buried in the depths of its gentleness
Oh god
I am alive
Keeping warm in a cold world


7. SCARECROW

Black dynasty. you've defined true tragedy
And this world bleeds
But i have found peace. as your enemy
As your betrayer. I am the traitor

Erida, I pray (that the same hate that kills and rapes)
Doesn't give way in my head, if it does I'm as good as dead

You spread your mind plague to anyone who listens
I can't believe your hate has so much ambition
The infection you bleed of your own volition
It's not enough to make your own decisions
No more malice, watch us break it
We want progress so we'll make it
This is a new kind of justice
We just have to take it

Erida, I pray (that the same hate that kills and rapes)
Doesn't give way in my head, if it does I'm as good as dead

My mind is poised and the strike will be deadly
And you better believe I'm bringing all Hell with me


8. ERIDA

9. LIFE THROUGH WESTER EYES

Out of style out of date quick
You better start clearing out some closet space
Such a waist but TV has it justified
Life through western eyes
Homicidal kids, the drugs and the queer
They have us all living in a culture of fear
And you better forget about trusting your peers
Life through western eyes

"What color is my safety today?"
"I drank water from the sink, do you think that's okay?"
"I really dont think it's safe to go outside today."
"This is what happens when we don't pray"

Increase the insanity
Increase the insanity

They have us right where they want us
By our heads and by our wallets
Another day in locked in paradise
There's nothing to see here so just close your eyes

Substance abuse declines while the war on drugs intensifies
You don't have to agree. This is called better safe than sorry
Life through western eyes
Too fat too ugly
You will amount to nothing
You better pick the pace
Or you'll be stuck on the side lines
Life through western eyes

This is life through western eyes
Life through western eyes
This is life through western eyes
Life through western eyes

So you better not think just sit back and take another drink
Why swim when we can sink?
Increase the insanity


10. 3/60

Broken salvation, complete devastation
The blood on your hands (to) satisfy your fixation
Now you live with the weight of regret
Crushing your chest, you will never forget
The life that you take, forever you pay
For your mistake oh the hearts that you break
You took someone's mother. You took someone's father
You took someone's son. You took someone's daughter
Now dwell as you burn in your own personal Hell

Broken salvation, complete devastation
The blood on your hands (to) satisfy your fixation

Mother, this eats me
It's so hard to reject the hate that this feeds me
Father, do you remember when your life changed forever?
The day the life with your father was severed?
Someone took someone dear to you
Someone dear to me, someone who will never have the chance to meet
And all I can be is angry, your selfishness astounds me
A horror that feeds off warmth surrounds me
I'm drowning, I'm drowning
This has made a mess of me and frankly I have no more energy
So all I'll be is angry


11. NO COVER

The perversion of life through Gaia's eyes
As good as dead in the jaws of spite
I cant sit back as the apathy amplifies
In the darkest corners of their nightmare
I'll be a light

Count our blessings (no cover)
Showered in life's warmth (the rest to suffer)
We are fortunate enough to make a choice
Count our blessings (no cover)
Showered in life's warmth (the rest to suffer)
We are fortunate enough to make a choice
I'll be a voice

They rest their eyes in a bed of filth
And we suffer slow in a vice of guilt
I refuse to add to this violent design
In the darkest corners of their nightmare
I'll be a light

Count our blessings (no cover)
Showered in life's warmth (the rest to suffer)
We are fortunate enough to make a choice
Count our blessings (no cover)
Showered in life's warmth (the rest to suffer)
We are fortunate enough to make a choice
I'll be a voice

Cast out. forsaken. desperate. ill fated.
Everyday the value of life spreads thinner
But in this chaos I'll be a hopebringer

Their trials are mine and I stand for every single walk of life (I'll fight)
I'll fight for both human and non human rights
because I know that things are much brighter on the other side


12. SUFFERER/LA PODEROSA

Somewhere I lost it walking the fence between my anger and it's bitterness
Do I call it quits? Does my sanity have what it takes to afford the damage?
Fighting with everything I am to hold it together
Looking back in shame and regret at all the ties I've severed
I'm spinning out of control
I'm one half of a whole
I've lost faith in myself

Nowhere to go as I dismiss responsibility, avoid opportunity
Just to achieve my temporary relief
With death and hate as far as my eyes can see and every anchor of pain
And self-deat chained to me
I laugh in failures face and I throw it away
Throw it away !

Throw it away !

The Hell that I've paid is nothing compared to the monster that I face
And sometimes it seems I haven't learned anything
But I'll die before I let this world bury me
Bury me

I'm breaking away from pain and self-defiance
I've found my way in faith and self-reliance
And I can say I stood to face the giant
But if I die, at least I'll die a lion.
