1. THE INTRODUCTION

Welcome,
You have activated all systems.
Deactivation is not an option.
You must find the truth.
Remember, not everything is what it seems.
If you don't stand for something, You might fall for anything.
....The End Is Where We Begin [2x]


2. WE ARE

I think I'm ready
I think I've got it
'Cause too much thinking is bad for my health
It's like a fire 'cause when I start it
I can't control it and I burn myself

But I can't just sit here and watch it
If we don't stop it no one will

We are the ones, we are the guns
And we will ride, we are the voice of a song unsung
We are the change, we are the chains that hold us
We are the choice, we are the strong
We are one

My heart is racing, just like a rocket
Victory looks like a distant dream
'Cause what we're fighting's not gonna stop it
But we can beat it if we just believe
I can't just sit here and watch it
If we don't stop it no one will

We are the ones, we are the guns
And we will ride, we are the voice of a song unsung
We are the change, we are the chains that hold us
We are the choice, we are the strong
We are one

We are the ones, we are the guns
And we will ride, we are the voice of a song unsung
We are the change, we are the chains that hold us
We are the choice, we are the strong
We are one

We are the ones, we are the guns
We are
We are the change, we are the chains
We are
But I can't just sit here and watch it

If we don't stop it no one will

We are the ones, we are the guns
And we will ride, we are the voice of a song unsung
We are the change, we are the chains that hold us
We are the choice, we are the strong
We are one

We are the ones, we are the guns
And we will ride, we are the voice of a song unsung
We are the change, we are the chains that hold us
We are the choice, we are the strong
We are one


3. LIGHT UP THE SKY

Watch me light the sky
Light up the sky
Watch me light the sky
Light up the sky

Hands held high sweat dripping off me
Light it softly, got these fakers trying to stop me
This ain't a hobby it's a way of life
Just like Holyfield and Tyson, gloves on fight night
Boom here comes the hurricane monsoon
Switched up, came to redecorate the room
My ears are ringing from hearing the same sound
So what now all of the walls just came down
I blaze a trail like the rays from taillights
Sound shaking the ground like earthquakes hail might
Someday I'll die but not tonight
Excuse me while I light up the sky

Light up the sky
Watch me light the sky
Light up the sky
Light up the sky

Game time ripping mint condition
Lights out stomping all competition
My upmost to it's highest it gets no flyer
Uh oh we set the mainframe on fire
Boom cold lead from the peddle I push to the metal
The dust never settles
F5 level kick up the bass in the tremble
Because faith that's rebel, I could show you the devil
I blaze a trail like the rays from taillights
Sound shaking the ground like earthquakes and hail might
Someday I'll die but not tonight
Excuse me while I light up the sky

Light up the sky
Watch me light the sky
Light up the sky
Light up the sky

Nowhere else have I seen such lions led by lambs
So if you're not afraid of us stand up and take my hand
We got a battle upfront but beyond that's the promise land
And when we all shout together then believe me they'll understand

Nowhere else have I seen such lions led by lambs
So if you're not afraid of us stand up and take my hand
We got a battle upfront but beyond that's the promise land
And when we all shout together then believe me they'll understand

I blaze a trail like the rays from taillights
Sound shaking the ground like earthquakes and hail might
Someday I'll die but not tonight
Excuse me while I light up the sky

Light up the sky
Watch me light the sky
Light up the sky
Light up the sky
Excuse me while I light up the sky


4. THE END IS WHERE WE BEGIN

[Verse 1:]
I'm an alien
Cuz I'm not of this world
I have a name
but I've been changed, and now I can't stay the same
and I'm a loser if that means I've been lost before
but now I found it, I'm surrounded
Cuz you can hear the way it sounded

[Pre-Chorus]
Like angels singing with a million voices

[Chorus:]
The end is where we begin
It's crawling back when
We run away, run away
cuz the end is where we begin
Where broken hearts mend
and start to beat again
The end is where we begin

[Verse 2:]
I'm a monster if that means I'm misunderstood
Cuz its alive and I can't hide it
The energy is rising
and I'm a traitor if that means I've turned on myself
I can't deny it, it's like a riot
and I can't keep it quiet

[Pre-Chorus]
Like angels singing with a million voices

[Chorus:]
The end is where we begin
It's crawling back when
We run away, run away
Cuz the end is where we begin
Where broken hearts mend
and start to beat again
The end is where we begin

[Bridge:]
Hear me running
Hear me running, running
Hear me running, hear me running, ra-running
Hear me running, hear me

[Chorus:]
The end is where we begin
It's crawling back when
We run away, run away
Cuz the end is where we begin
Where broken hearts mend
and start to beat again

The end is where we begin
It's crawling back when
We run away, run away
Cuz the end is where we begin
Where broken hearts mend
and start to beat again
The end is where we begin


5. LET THE SPARKS FLY

Let the sparks fly

There's no such thing as maybe
Burn it like it's fading
No more hesitating
Let the sparks fly baby
Drive it like ya race it
You can call me crazy
I'm just tired of waiting
Let the sparks fly baby

Give me one if it's real
And two if you can feel it
Give me three signs that you're awake
It only takes one spark
For two to fall apart
And three more to blow it away

Give me one if it's real
And two if you can feel it
Give me three signs that you're awake
It only takes one spark
For two to fall apart
And three more to blow it away

Let me take you into the light
There's nowhere to hide
There's nothing but darkness left here
Shake it off and let's take a ride
'Cause heaven's not far away
And I'm not gonna leave you here

There's no such thing as maybe
Burn it like it's fading
No more hesitating
Let the sparks fly baby
Drive it like ya race it
You can call me crazy
I'm just tired of waiting
Let the sparks fly baby

Give me one good reason
Two more to believe in
And three shots at why I should wait
'Cause I got one more match
Two strikes left
You got to three to get out of my way

Give me one if it's real
And two if you can feel it
Give me three signs that you're awake
It only takes one spark
For two to fall apart
And three more to blow it away

Let me take you into the light
There's nowhere to hide
There's nothing but darkness left here
Shake it off and let's take a ride
'Cause heaven's not far away
And I'm not gonna leave you here

There's no such thing as maybe
Burn it like it's fading
No more hesitating
Let the sparks fly baby
Drive it like ya race it
You can call me crazy
I'm just tired of waiting
Let the sparks fly baby

Let the sparks fly baby

Let me take you into the light
There's nowhere to hide
There's nothing but darkness left here
Shake it off and let's take a ride
'Cause heaven's not far away
And I'm not gonna leave you here

Let me take you into the light
There's nowhere to hide
There's nothing but darkness left here
Shake it off and let's take a ride
'Cause heaven's not far away
And I'm not gonna leave you here

Let me take you into the light
There's nowhere to hide
There's nothing but darkness left here
Shake it off and let's take a ride
'Cause heaven's not far away
And I'm not gonna leave you here

There's no such thing as maybe
Burn it like it's fading
No more hesitating
Let the sparks fly baby
Drive it like ya race it
You can call me crazy
I'm just tired of waiting
Let the sparks fly baby


6. I GET WICKED

I can be nice but don't test me
I can get wicked
I get wicked, wicked
I get wicked
There's no escaping it
Wicked
You wanna kick it
Watch me get wicked
Step up and get it
'Cause I get wicked

I'm a beast came to rip this spot up
Stick to chords cause the devil wears prada
We want peace but we can make this rowdy, stop
We don't want to hurt nobody
You can't hate me cause my nature's nice
And my heart's for the people of the world tonight
If you got a problem with it take it up with life
Cause if you try to push me it ain't going to be nice

I get wicked, wicked
I get wicked
There's no escaping it
Wicked
You wanna kick it
Watch me get wicked
Step up and get it
'Cause I get wicked

I am not afraid of this mountain in my way
You can push me to my knees I believe
And I am now awake
Uncontrolled and not ashamed
When it washes over me I feel free

P.S. don't play me like a 3DS
These cats can't see us they checking the wrong mirrors
Cavaliers, don't mistake kindness for weakness
They never wanted to hear us blow speakers
Spittin the trinity hook, line, and sequence
In your brain like a G6 no secrets
My faith is my life it's rolling the dice
If you try to push me it ain't gonna be nice

I get wicked, wicked
I get wicked
There's no escaping it
Wicked
You wanna kick it
Watch me get wicked
Step up and get it
'Cause I get wicked

I am not afraid of this mountain in my way
You can push me to my knees I believe
And I am now awake
Uncontrolled and not ashamed
When it washes over me I feel free

I can be nice but don't test me
I get wicked, wicked
I get wicked
There's no escaping it
Wicked
You wanna kick it
Watch me get wicked
Step up and get it
'Cause I get wicked

I get wicked when you come against me
So quit it stop trying to push me around
Let's kick it if you really want to touch fire
Come get it step up I'll bring you down
Step up and get it because I get wicked


7. BE SOMEBODY

I'm just the boy inside the man
Not exactly who you think I am
Trying to trace my steps back here again
So many times
I'm just a speck inside your hand
You came and made me who I am
I remember where it all began
So clearly

I feel a million miles away
Still you connect me in your way
And you create in me
Something I would've never seen
When I could only see the floor
You made my window a door
So when they say they don't believe
I hope that they see you in me

After all the lights go down
I'm just the words you are the sound
A strange type of chemistry
How you've become a part of me
And when I sit alone at night
Your thoughts burn through me like a fire
You're the only one who knows
Who I really am

We all wanna be somebody
We just need a taste of who we are
We all wanna be somebody
We're willing to go, but not that far

And we're all see through, just like glass
And we can shatter just as fast
That light's been burned out for a while
I still see it every time I pass
It was lost in the corners of my mind
Behind a box of reasons why
I never doubted it was there
It just took a little time to find
And even when

I feel a million miles away
Still you connect me in your way
And you create in me
Something I would've never seen
When I could only see the floor
You made my window a door
So when they say they don't believe
I hope that they see you in me

After all the lights go down
I'm just the words you are the sound
A strange type of chemistry
How you've become a part of me
And when I sit alone at night
Your thoughts burn through me like a fire
You're the only one who knows
Who I really am

We all wanna be somebody
We just need a taste of who we are
We all wanna be somebody
We're willing to go but not that far

We all wanna be somebody
We just need a taste of who we are
We all wanna be somebody
We're willing to go but not that far

I'm just the boy inside the man
Not exactly who you think I am
Trying to trace my steps back here again
So many times

When I could only see the floor
You made my window a door
So when they say they don't believe
I hope that they see you in me


8. THIS IS A WARNING

(Instrumental)


9. COURTESY CALL

Hey-o, here comes the danger up in this club
When we get started man, we ain't gonna stop
We gonna turn it out, 'till it gets too hot
Everybody sing, hey-o
Tell 'em turn it up 'till they can't no more
Let's get this thing shakin' like a disco ball
This is your last warning, a courtesy call

Hey-o, here comes the danger up in this club
When we get started man, we ain't gonna stop
We gonna turn it out, 'till it gets too hot
Everybody sing, hey-o
Tell 'em turn it up 'till they can't no more
Let's get this thing shakin' like a disco ball
This is your last warning, a courtesy call

I am not afraid of the storm that comes my way
When it hits, it shakes me to the core
And makes me stronger than before
It's not a question about trust
But will you stand with us?
Can you feel it?
Make it real and

I think it might wash away tonight
Awakened from this never ending fight
It takes more than meets the eye
This war we're fighting is not just writing

Hey-o, here comes the danger up in this club
When we get started man, we ain't gonna stop
We gonna turn it out, 'till it gets too hot
Everybody sing, hey-o
Tell 'em turn it up 'till they can't no more
Let's get this thing shakin' like a disco ball
This is your last warning, a courtesy call

There's a rumble in the floor
So get prepared for war
When it hits, it'll knock you to the ground
While it shakes up everything around
But survival is a must
So will you stand with us?
Can you feel it?
Make it real and
Make me feel it

I think it might wash away tonight
Awakened from this never ending fight
It takes more than meets the eye
This war we're fighting is not just writing

Hey-o, here comes the danger up in this club
When we get started man, we ain't gonna stop
We gonna turn it out, 'till it gets too hot
Everybody sing, hey-o
Tell 'em turn it up 'till they can't no more
Let's get this thing shakin' like a disco ball
This is your last warning, a courtesy call

Hey-o, here comes the danger up in this club
When we get started man, we ain't gonna stop
We gonna turn it out, 'till it gets too hot
Everybody sing, hey-o
Tell 'em turn it up 'till they can't no more
Let's get this thing shakin' like a disco ball
This is your last warning, a courtesy call


10. WAR OF CHANGE

[Intro:]
It's a truth that in love and war,
World's collide and hearts get broken,
I want to live like I know I'm dying,
Take up my cross, not be afraid

[Chorus:]
Is it true what they say, that words are weapons?
And if it is, then everybody best stop steppin',
Cause I got ten in my pocket that'll bend ya locket,
I'm tired of all these rockers sayin' come with me,
Wait, it's just about to break, its more than I can take,
Everything's about to change,
I feel it in my veins, its not going away,
Everything's about to change.

[Solo:]
It creeps in like a thief in the night,
Without a sign, without a warning,
But we are ready and prepared to fight,
Raise up your swords, don't be afraid,

[Chorus:]
Is it true what they say, that words are weapons?
And if it is, then everybody best stop steppin',
Cause I got ten in my pocket that'll bend ya locket,
I'm tired of all these rockers sayin' come with me,
Wait, it's just about to break, its more than I can take,
Everything's about to change,
I feel it in my veins, its not going away,
Everything's about to change.

[Solo:]
This is a warning, like it or not,
I break down, like a record spinning,
Gotta get up,
So back off,
This is a warning, like it or not,
I'm tired of listenin', I'm warning you, don't try to get up,

[Bridge:]
There's a war going on inside of me tonight,
(Don't be afraid) [x2]
There's a war going on inside of me tonight.

[Outro:]
Wait, it's just about to break, its more than I can take,
Everything's about to change,
I feel it in my veins, its not going away,
Everything's about to change,
It's just about to break, its more than I can take,
Everything's about to change,
I feel it in my veins, its not going away,
Everything's about to change.


11. DOWN

I don't want to maintain, insane, get it up
You always play the blame game, no shame, had enough
I don't wanna maintain, insane, get it up
You always play the blame game, no shame, had enough

[VERSE 1]
Fresher,
Like it's the 1st semester
Rock it like Queen when I'm under pressure
While the rest of these cats, all siesta
Get loose like change when its on your dresser
BOOM
Here comes the real volume
Had enough to wake up and shake this tomb
I can act like skate decks in concrete rooms
We're about to face what makes this move

[Pre-Chorus]
People used to tell me that I'm on my own
They said I'd never make a difference on this microphone
'Cause there's a million other people who can sing this song
I said "Well, thanks for the push" 'cause you all were wrong

Let's Go

[Chorus]
You wanna try to take me under
I'll never bow till I'm six feet under
Listen to the sound of rolling thunder
You can't break me
You'll never take me down

[VERSE 2]
Explosion
Take it like rust corrosion
When it goes in GOOSH like you bust a nose in
Competitors
I was born to set it off
They wrapped me in cloth
I grabbed a mic and went on tour
Smash it
Back in school I was a hazard
Cause I never saw the glass,
Man, I just looked past it
Had a passion that burned like battery acid
Peter Parker, bit by some radioactive
(Shake this place in)

[Pre-Chorus]
People used to tell me that I'm on my own
They said I'd never make a difference on this microphone
'Cause there's a million other people who can sing this song
I said "Well, thanks for the push" 'cause you all were wrong

Let's Go

[Chorus]
You wanna try to take me under
I'll never bow till I'm six feet under
Listen to the sound of rolling thunder
You can't break me
You'll never take me down

[BRIDGE]
If you wanna rise up start with me
If you wanna stand up here's one for free
If you wanna rise up start with me
If you wanna stand up here's one for free
If you wanna rise up start with me
If you wanna stand up here's one for free
(Feel the movement, feel the pressure)
If you wanna rise up start with me
If you wanna stand up here's one for free
(Feel the movement, feel the pressure)
(Feel the movement, feel the pressure)

[Chorus]
You wanna try to take me under
I'll never bow till I'm six feet under
Listen to the sound of rolling thunder
You can't break me
You'll never take me down

You wanna try to take me under
I'll never bow till I'm six feet under
Listen to the sound of rolling thunder
You can't break me
You'll never take me down


12. ALL I NEED TO KNOW

[Verse 1:]
You could read a million pages, know the words and all the phrases.
You could try to turn a lie into the truth.
You can live to be a hundred, memorizin' every number.
You could even put a man on the moon.
And the science of the heart is sometimes lost on me.
But I'm following this feeling!

[Chorus:]
I don't know why, it's so hard to swallow our pride!
And I don't know how many wrongs make a right.
I don't know the reason.
Sometimes it just feels so good to cry!
And I don't know which way the wind will blow.
But you're here with me.
And that's all I need to know!

[Verse 2:]
There's a moment in the morning, when I feel the most alone
But then I hear your voice, whispering my name.
It's like a wave of understanding and I never could have planned it
Where the questions, and doubts all fade away.

[Chorus]

That's all I need to know

[Bridge:]
I figured it out, you turned me around at the speed of light.
All that I ever needed to know was in your eyes.

[Ending/Chorus:]
I don't know why, it's so hard to swallow our pride.
And I never count all the stars in the sky.
I don't know the reason.
Sometimes it just feels so good to cry!
And I don't know which way the wind will blow.
But you're here with me.
And that's all I need to know!

That's all I need to know!
That's all I need to know.
All I need to know!


13. FLY ON THE WALL

The other night
I had a dream
It was a world full of kings and queens
But it was cold
Dark as the night
We were the fire on the moonlit skies

We weren't divided
We were the same
And we were free
But we all wore chains
We couldn't see it
But we created
A place between truth and overrated

If I could just see it all
Just like a fly on the wall
Would I be able to accept what I can't control?
And would I share what I saw?
Or just sit back and ignore
Like nothing never happened
I haven't seen you before?

I'm on the run from a thief
I let into my head
I know, I hold the keys, so don't be scared
When I turn and shout

I don't think I need you anymore
Take your words, and your lies and just beat it
I don't think I need you anymore
Take the hurt and the pain, I don't need it

I wanna live, I wanna be the change
We can all be kings and queens
If we can just learn to believe
If we can just learn to believe

We had a plan to build a wall
A great divide that would never fall
To separate us
From all the pain
And keep our skeletons locked away

And brick by brick
We built it so thick
That it blacked out the sky and all the sunlight
And one by one
We all became numb
We were making the bullets to a broken gun

If I could just see it all
Just like a fly on the wall
Would I be able to accept what I can't control?
And would I share what I saw?
Or just sit back and ignore
Like nothing never happened
And I haven't seen you before?

I'm on the run from a thief
I let into my head
I know, I hold the keys, so don't be scared
When I turn and shout

I don't think I need you anymore
Take your words, and your lies and just beat it
I don't think I need you anymore
Take the hurt and the pain, I don't need it

I wanna live, I wanna be the change
We can all be kings and queens
If we can just learn to believe
If we can just learn to believe

I don't think I need you anymore
Take your words, and your lies and just beat it
I don't think I need you anymore
Take the hurt and the pain, I don't need it

I wanna live, I wanna be the change
We can all be kings and queens
If we can just learn to believe
If we can just learn to believe


14. SO FAR GONE

I know they say that the space between
Can make it stronger than we’ve ever seen
They might be right but I disagree
Cause I’ve never felt stronger than when you’re with me

Sometimes I wonder why you even care
Cause even when I leave you’re always there with me
And like a candle makes a brighter place
This mark you’ve made on me can’t be erased.

I wanna be so far gone in you
So far nothing else will ever do
I wanna be so far gone in you
In you..

I’ve stood alone and I’ve fallen down
Your hands were there to pick me off the ground
Sometimes I cry cause I can’t believe
Your love is big enough to cover me

Sometimes I’ve wondered if you’re even there
But when I feel far away you meet me there
And like a candle makes a brighter place
This mark you’ve made on me can’t be erased
Yeah..

I wanna be so far gone in you
So far nothing else will ever do
I wanna be so far gone in you
In you..

I wanna be so far gone in you
So far nothing else will ever do
I wanna be so far gone in you
In you..I wanna be lost

I wanna be lost in you
Like a ship in the night
I wanna get lost in you
Underneath your sky

I wanna be lost in you
Like a ship in the night
So far gone tonight

I wanna be so far gone in you
So far nothing else will ever do
I wanna be so far gone in you
In you…

So far gone in you
In you
In you
So far gone in you


15. OUTRODUCTION

This is the main frame
From here survival is up to you
Choose your decisions wisely
Change starts with us
Remember if you don't stand for something you might fall for anything because...
The End Is Where We Begin
