We Killed the Scene

I'd walk a thousand miles to free myself from the pain of your silence
I've strained to hear myself scream out to you time after time
I know all too well that good things come
Not to those who wait, but to the ones who refuse
To be beat down and shattered
This is my emancipation
From this empty life
I will prevail over the apathy
At least within my mind
To assail your precious thoughts
To put my words in your head
To believe my words will carry on
After I am dead
I will refuse to be
A footnote in history
I will not allow myself to drown in the violent storm
This is my emancipation
From this empty life
I will prevail over the apathy
At least within my mind
To assail your precious thoughts
To put my words in your head
To believe my words will carry on
After I am dead
I will not be held under the waves
of shame and mediocrity
and in this life, when I'm given the choice
I'll be damned if I don't choose to swim

Heart of America
04:16
|

One nation under our insolence
We refuse to open our eyes
We live in the Heart of America
Where we are always right
A banner of misplaced devotion
To thee I pledge my life
We are the Heart of America
and we will never die
The republic of gratification
Will fall at the hands of its denizens
The blistered hands of the new generation
Will be the death of common sense
The fire is rising
and everyone else ignited the flames
We are the key to releasing the water
As every faction claims
One nation under our insolence
We refuse to open our eyes
We live in the Heart of America
Where we are always right
A banner of misplaced devotion
To thee I pledge my life
We are the Heart of America
and we will never die
Condemn like you breathe
Before you have to compromise, don't sleep
Go forth, spread your hateful words
Diversity is a disease that will not be tolerated
God bless America
Our greatest enemies are within our borders
Our greatest enemies are within ourselves
One nation under our insolence
We refuse to open our eyes
We live in the Heart of America
Where we are always right
A banner of misplaced devotion
To thee I pledge my life
We are the Heart of America
and we will never die
Such evil done with these hands
We'll destroy all our brothers, they'll fight us no more
Such lies spoken with this tongue
To deceive all the people, think freely no more
We beg the frauds to lead us
A nation ruled by masochists
We live our lives
Lie to lie
God bless the land of hypocrites
One nation under our insolence
We refuse to open our eyes
We live in the Heart of America
Where we are always right
A banner of misplaced devotion
To thee I pledge my life
We are the Heart of America
and we will never die

Secret for the Soil

In the cold autumn night
A thousand times we've been the players in this twisted scene and
The stage is set
and the script will be followed down to the word
But stop the tape
Our little actress has yet to discover
Just how the movie ends
and here our movie ends
Let's keep this our little secret
This is the time
Cover up your tracks, revise your lines
Lay on your back, time after time
Put your faith in every lie
Was this not what you wanted?
Or does the pain come with the sun
When you lie awake inside your bed, but you're the only one
Oh, don't feel bad you gentle curse
Life is preparing for the worst
But you won't face this on your own
Loose girls like you don't die alone
You never go to bed alone
Oh, the taste of the lies that drip from the tongue of daddy's little girl
Your god sees all, and father knows the truth within your world
So shed your tears
How could you not see how this story ends?
I've left without a care
You're left without a friend
We'll see you in church

Such a finite time
Chipping away at the days in our lives
Seconds press on
Waging a war that is already won
and we live our lives
Imminent endings stuck in the back of our minds
We are told to look the other way
Through each passing day
We are taught to waste away
As the ever present clock ticks on
We are forced to ignore it
We will pick up our feet and we will trudge on
With newfound importance
and one day we'll fade
One by one our atoms fall away
and when I finally close my eyes
I will know pride in my life
It's always pressing
Every moment ends abruptly
The darkness threatens
and reduces us to nothing
As time crawls on
We will wait in fear for the end to come
Inevitable
We will say goodbye to the sun
Oh god, all we have is not enough
Hold on to everything you've ever loved
As the ever present clock ticks on
We are forced to ignore it
We will pick up our feet and we will trudge on
With newfound importance
and one day we'll fade
One by one our atoms fall away
and when I finally close my eyes
I will know pride in my life

Governmental Case
03:34
|

As I walk these streets
Surrounded by others
Who can't seem to notice the world outside of their vision
I scream to the silence
Of millions of people
Refusing to listen
But that's how it goes
We only pay time ti the people who deal in the trade
Of the words we want to hear
So this is where we draw the line
Is this where we reach the end?
We'll kick our brothers why they're down
So they'll never stand up again
Is this how we live our lives?
Is this our line in the sand?
Have we all been drafted in
The war against our fellow man?
This is not the life I choose
I refuse to live my life in opposition of
The people around me
My words will carry out through the air
In the hopes that they'll find
An ear willing to accept them
I will scream it loud
So this is my ear
I will not stand for the endless dismissal of common existence
So call me a communist
Call me an idealist
It's insane to believe that these lines in the sand can control our opinions
Yet it happens every day
We'll destroy til we decay
So as we watch our world burn
Do we fill ourselves with pride
As everything outside our comfort zone
Finally goes to die?
I won't go on with my head under sand
Though I've watched it die before
I know the light will shine again
This broken world is in our hands
We've turned our backs on fellow man

My love
I hate you more than you'll ever know
My heart
Beats for what I despise the most
I pledge my endless devotion
To the shadows of your hallowed past
I fell in love with a mirage
I fell in love with a mask
We all spend so much time destroying each other
We all live our lives against one another
We've all been beat down and broken
We should be in this together
So my love, I'm begging you to change
Or you'll find yourself gasping for air
I can't bear to see you this way
But I know that you'd never care
I'll walk away
I'll say goodbye
To you, my life
Oh darling I can not just watch you die
I know that I can't save you
I still have to try
I'll burn down anyone who strikes against you
I can not let you die
After all we've been through
So my love, I'm begging you to change
Or you'll find yourself gasping for air
I can't bear to see you this way
But I know that you'd never care
I'll walk away
I'll say goodbye
To you, my life
My love
So all the scene kids who have nothing to prove, let me see you move

Left Behind

Oh
A lonely cry in the night
Shouting "Somebody save me"
She can't force herself to go on
and we all know tonight
We all feel her pain
Now the time for a savior has passed
But others like her can be saved
We'll lend out our hand to a friend
So that they might live another day
She put her faith in a new chance at life
She put her thoughts to a life in the sky
She left our own cold world only to find
That there is no kingdom up in the sky
We scream "How could she feel so alone?"
Then we cut others down to the bone
Cause its too hard to make ourselves change
and help the others to hold on til May
Oh
Tell me, why are you sorry?
When we were the ones in the wrong
We were the ones who were blind
We let you suffer so long
Please rest easy
Free from the pain of your life
and know that you will find love
In the people that you left behind
She put her faith in a new chance at life
She put her thoughts to a life in the sky
She left our own cold world only to find
That there is no kingdom up in the sky
We scream "How could she feel so alone?"
Then we cut others down to the bone
Cause its too hard to make ourselves change
and help the others to hold on til May
It's all our fault
She put her faith in a new chance at life
She put her thoughts to a life in the sky
She left our own cold world only to find
That there is no kingdom up in the sky
We scream "How could she feel so alone?"
Then we cut others down to the bone
Cause its too hard to make ourselves change
and help the others to hold on til May

I've waited so many days
So patiently
For the words to come and
As days turn to weeks
These nights without sleep
There's nowhere to hide
I've no strength to run
I've sat here waiting
Only to find
Moments replaying over again in my mind
I see them so vividly
Torturing me every time
I still remember
Every day is burned in my mind
The words that you said are etched in my head
These scars will fade with the passing of time
and I remember the long nights
Little white lies of a future that I couldn't see
The nights when you saw the stars and thought
Their light could shine in me
As I struggle through each day without purpose
I hope you know every pain in my bones was worth it
My mind has written the words that hit me the hardest
My body houses a lie where you think my heart is
Every word in my heart is a weight on my tongue
Each passing moment
I am a serpent
I feel so hopeless
I feel so worthless
The worst has only just begun
You've already won
I guess it's funny how the years pass
and come to mean nothing
The moments spent laughing in the dark
To shake off the fear of what we couldn't see
So the days will crawl on
Burying history
You were right to be afraid
I was wrong to believe

So It May Live
09:59

The words in my head are inside of my gut
I will scream them out loud until my body rots
I have written them down
These words are my crutch
I'll shout them to you cause its all that I've got
These words are my essence
But lately I fear
That as loud as I shout
These are words that nobody will hear
No one uncovers their ears
No one is listening
Is this really worth it
Or am I just screaming out to no one?
This is not my purpose
I was not meant to dwell in the silence
I will scream my lungs out
I will break the chains that hold me down
I will rise above this all
Or keep on going till the day I die
Until we die
I will not be defeated
By the uncaring minds of my fellow man
I am far beyond my failures
I will fight til I reach the end
I will live until I deserve more
Than to die in obscurity
There is nothing on earth with the power
To bring me down to my knees
Am I doomed to go unanswered
Or live my life alone?
I can feel the fear infecting me
It seeps into my bones
So I'll fight the pain
and scream out loud until I hear a sound
These words will be my weapon
This scene is a battleground
And everyday I'm told
That I'd be better off if I would sink
Let the water crash down over me
Lay to rest these broken things
But I stay treading water
Head above, through thick and thin
I will turn my back on you and I will
Force myself to swim
Am I doomed to go unanswered
Or live my life alone?
I can feel the fear infecting me
It seeps into my bones
So I'll fight the pain
and scream out loud until I hear a sound
These words will be my weapon
This scene is a battleground
