These days all seem the same
A constant fight to find purpose in my name
And as each day just passes by
I find myself even more lost inside
It’s all a mess I got nothing left
It’s all a mess I got nothing left
Will this ever change (2x)
Every brick I’ve laid is another lesson learned
I’ve strayed from my road so will you
Make your own path
It’s alright
We still have time to fight
It’s all a mess I got nothing left
It’s all a mess I got nothing left
Will this ever change (2x)
From the day I was born I was a lost cause
Destined to live only to fail
With a fragile heart inside my chest
And no hope to prevail
Though I was born into adversity
I have come to know resiliency
In a world full of cruelty
I will forge my destiny
When you’re on your own
Back against the wall
Don’t give up get back on your feet
Dust it off and take another swing
I will make a change
And find the stregnth in my name
I’ll put my pen to life
The right to live is my birthright
Though I was born into adversity
I have come to know resiliency
In a world full of cruelty
I will forge my destiny

You said to lighten up
Let’s live for the here and now
Cause it’s easy to drown the pain
With a bottle for a few hours
One becomes two
And two becomes too many
As these drinks flow through you
It impairs your morality
Where is your control
Pray you wait for me
Cause I can’t live this life without you
My insight told me something was wrong
So why’d you have to go and leave that night
I told you that you couldn't drive
But I didn’t even try
I see the mask you wear
Smell the suppression of stress on your breath
I hear you slur your words
Yet you keep on drinking till there’s not a drop left
Enough is enough
Put the bottle down you’re clearly drunk
That’s when you took the keys
But I never thought it was this life you would leave
Pray you wait for me
Cause I can’t live this life without you
My insight told me something was wrong
So why’d you have to go and leave that night
I told you that you couldn’t drive
But I didn’t even try
You lost control (2x)
This broken glass reflects our lives
Just how fragile we are
And all the days we live can go in one night.
Pray you wait for me
Cause I can’t live this life without you
My insight told me something was wrong

We never knew it could happen to us
We never know who’s left to trust
And ever since that day i’ve been trying to make amends
Cause there’s one thing I learned is that things will never be the same
Again
Never knew no I never knew why
(Not victims, survivors)
All I know is I survived
(Not victims, survivors)
And we pray it’s not us
And we hope they would stop
We wish they would let us go
And we dream of a day
When we’re not to afraid
And scared to walk on home alone
I wear my broken heart asa backpack
Carrying this luggage i never asked for
And when i look into the mirror
It’s not my face I see, it’s yours
You stole my innocence away from me
You left me dead and buried
When I was finally brave to use my voice
They only heard the kid who cried wolf
Never knew no I never knew why
(Not victims, survivors)
All I know is I survived
(Not victims, survivors)
And we pray it’s not us
And we hope they would stop
We wish they would let us go
And we dream of a day
When we’re not to afraid
And scared to walk on home alone
So when you look tell me what do you see
A fragile soul or a used piece of property
So tell me why I’m the one getting looks of disgust and shame
And as they stare with their judging gaze
They let a thief just steal and get away
Why don’t we focus on the ones to blame
I never thought I lived in a world where my cry for help would go unattended
Like everyone else I was to naive to see so I believed the common misconceptions
It never happens a man can’t be sexually assaulted or be the victim of domestic violence
But the worst of these is silence
And that’s all I hear as you scream and you see in the world that’s around me
When behind closed doors my true colors bleed as you show yours
And from my knees I attempt to implore as you take more there’s nothing left and I’m breathless
And I can’t stress this enough I am not a victim
I’m a survivor
Each day that I have lived in
Has been spent on my rebuilding
Forgetting the shame
Denying this grave
My innocence has been put in
I’ve rescaped this landscape
I’ve bridged the gap in this divide
I’m not some victim
Cause I’ve learned to survive

False Profit

They say
You’ll achieve all of your dreams if you listen to us
But they forgot
About the likes of themselves reaching for these pockets of ours
Feeding off the youth
Fattening us up with false hope
We’re sick of the abuse
Looking out for themselves
They close the coffin on the art and we’re the nails
How long will we believe the lies
You’ve sold to us
When will we open up our eyes (you can’t control us)
Never wanted to give up on you
But after all of the loss you’ve put me through
We want the truth
To everyone who’s been taken advantage of
Say we’ve had enough (we’ve had enough)
To everyone who doesn’t know their worth
Say I am enough (I am enough)
False profit
Where did the love and the passion go now
False profit
Cause we’re sick of your gospel of vanity
How long will we believe the lies
You’ve sold to us
When will we open us our eyes (you can’t control us)
Never wanted to give up on you
But after all of the loss you put me through
We want the truth
*Gene asks crowd to 2 step*
You are not the savior of the scene
You’re just a weak man filled with
Greed
False profit
How long will we believe the lies
You’ve sold to us
When will we open us our eyes (you can’t control us)
Never wanted to give up on you
But after all of the loss you put me through
We want the truth
Now what they say doesn’t matter to us
We’ve had enough
We know our worth

People in Need

If I asked you to describe the nature of humanity
Could you look me in the eyes and say it’s built off of love and unity
Cause it seems like
We’ve all gone blind
To the notion of what is right
And our pleas for aid
Fall on deaf ears
And separate us further apart
I see
So many sinking further down
Hoping
That just one person would save them now
So why do we always run from
People in need
It’s selfish to think
That change could come
From stepping away from the hurt
And learning to live with the pain
It seems better to just walk away
When the problem isn’t yours
And you have bigger issues in your way
Take a step back
And look at the bigger goal
In this life we’re all connected
Like a piece to a puzzle
I hear
My people crying out
So why is it
That you pretend you don’t hear a sound
So why do we always run from
People in need
It’s selfish to think
That change could come
From stepping away from the hurt
And learning to live
From the pain
That we have to live in shame
My conscious was running away
From a life worth saving
And a heart worth mending
But it was too late
Too late
Are you telling me that this is
Our fate
To watch the ones in need waste away
So why do we always run from
People in need
It’s selfish to think
That change could come
From stepping away from the hurt
And learning to live
From the pain
That we have to live in shame
My conscious was running away
From a life worth saving
And a heart worth mending
But it was too late
