Who is there If you’re feeling square To throw you into the circle And tell you no one’s there? Life’s not fair Neither is the fact No one knows where or how We’ll ever find love again I’m slipping slowly fast Destroying the past Lies to the kids About who broke the path They think America’s great Were at war with terror All we are is scared That the truth will unravel We’re nothing but ants In a manmade hill Searching for a thrill Free will is being Choked on the ground The bodies pile up They’ve turned into a mound But that’s the norm The public doesn’t frown They just walk on by Without a memory What this town used to be Before this monstrosity Before they had to worry What they would see Walking at night In the wrong time or place Might land you a space In a steel barred cage We’re nothing but ants In a manmade hill Perfect candidates For a human landfill History repeats We don’t seem to care Corruption ensues Direct attention elsewhere We’re nothing but ants In a manmade hill Perfect candidates For a human landfill History repeats We don’t seem to care Corruption ensues Direct attention elsewhere We all lay here Struggling to survive Divided we fall But together we cry There’s no way out And I wish that was a lie But the math comes out true Time after time Time, time Time after time Time, time

If things go well You may tell yourself You must’ve got it down But when the sky turns black Your waves will crash What do I do now? It’s not a simple equation You must be diligent every single day and tend to your patience You’ve gotta savor the flavors Be enticing to strangers Your neighbors, the kids Anyone who ever made a name The ones who tell you what remains Now I’m not sure I’ll make it But I know I have to Hold onto this life closely You know it’s not gonna last I see you walk past me, so happy Hope you left room for the pain And all of the rain on your parade When you lose yourself out on the path I’m playing a game with Half the heart and twice the sweat So remember my name cause the next time you see me I won’t be off guard It’s not a simple equation You must be diligent every single day And tend to your patience Now I’m not sure I’ll make it But I know I have to Hold onto this life closely You know it’s not gonna last I see you walk past me, so happy Hope you left room for the pain And all of the rain on your parade When you lose yourself out on the path Hold onto this life closely You know it’s not gonna last I see you walk past me, so happy Hope you left room for the pain And all of the rain on your parade When you lose yourself out on the path

The weights have been lifted But the feeling is not gone So I try, oh I'd die without this cure The one I take for granted Is the one that gets me undone I want to seize my days at last But my past it pulls me back So I stray from my new ways And sail off in the distance What can I say? What if you miss the days? When I played and gave it away I made a mistake The time is now and then I pretend like I give in, remission To all these petty lies So I cry and I say goodbye ‘Cause it’s mine My way of playing this game I’m ashamed If I say that I want this truth Can I prove it? I gave this blood for myself I don’t wanna lose it. And what if I say, what if I say I don’t know who’s gonna use it? What if I don’t care, what if I don’t care What if I don’t care? And I just share It’s not my name Or what it is I have made It’s the train of thoughts I need to perpetrate The campaign cannot wait I must run today Or we may fray And fade away What if you miss the days?

Let’s play a game if you feel ok I’m arranging all the plays But that’s just for my way The goal is to find What you want so bad Without making suffer Those that you pass You may quit anytime And you won’t be fined If you feel motivated You can rejoin in The blink of an eye You can’t lose cause nobody survives So if you want to make the most of this life You’d better take this chance at a victory And be the player that you were meant to be Meant to be The game’s called life I hope you play it right Some players steal, cheat, and kill Just to win their prize Try this if you’d like but You might be surprised The result may lead to demise So be true and good and then Choose big or small A win is a win but You can’t win them all You can’t lose cause nobody survives So if you want to make the most of this life You’d better take this chance at a victory And be the player that you were meant to be Meant to be You can’t lose cause nobody survives So if you want to make the most of this life You’d better take this chance at a victory And be the player that you were meant to be Meant to be I think you see my analogy I’m recruiting a team that Wants to be free So join me, and be what you need to be. Let’s show the other players What it really means We have power in the age of know Gotta use it or lose it so let’s go

The band broke up But the band got back together The band broke up But the band is forever And we’re ready to attack I don’t see us being easily defeated But I won’t let my guard down Until I find a reason I think that you know we tried But what we never had still died Had to find a better way To get out of a stressful place Go, drink your poison now We don’t need you to bring us down It’s pretty sad you know To watch your friends collapse and grow Will I be pulled by the undertow? ‘Cause I’ve been fighting hard It just doesn’t show And will I see What these ventures are doing to me? Is what I’m barking up even close to a tree Or am I blinded by insanity? The band broke up But the band got back together The band broke up But the band is forever And we’re ready to attack I don’t see us being easily defeated But I won’t let my guard down Until I find a reason Oh I found one All these promises left undone Some to myself And some to others I’ve let down my own brothers Not again, not one more time I’m laying it out on the line ‘Cause the band broke up The band broke up But the band got back together The band broke up But the band is forever And we’re ready to attack I don’t see us being easily defeated But I won’t let my guard down Until I find a reason 8 months without a show This drought feels so impossible The drag of feet and energy deplete Determines what I feel is weak but We can’t stop, the fire grows Everyone knows each high Must meet its low That’s it folks, a big reveal The fruit ferments and our wounds heal It’s about time to build the beast The first few tries gave no release but When it does you’ll be informed Of a calming eye within the storm

I’m chasing myself Trying to have a conversation Regarding my wealth If I were to lose all motivation It’s not going well I’m too quick for my wits So I just keep on Running, running With nowhere to go It’s harder to tell now If I’m really above or I’m just going under I’d like to proceed but my body stops me Tells me to stay on the path I can’t say what will go down It seems that we’re burning ourselves to stay bright The fire it has to run out But my flame can’t extinguish I’m going under, yes I’m going under Please make it stop, the pollution and the cops I can’t take all the hate and the grief And the names we call others, our sisters and brothers What will we do if the hand really comes down? Divided by choice in our pushed away voices We’re on the way out, yes I see it now There’s an open road that no one will go down I’m scared for my health Because of all this contamination It’s all that they sell They’ve got a lot of determination It’s not going well We just keep telling ourselves to keep on Running, running As if there’s somewhere to go It’s easy to see now That we have no say in the corporate ways They want to proceed so they do it with ease Without a care for the world I can’t say what will go down It seems that we’re burning ourselves to stay bright The fire it has to run out But my flame can’t extinguish We’re all going under, we’re all going under Please make it stop, there’s no water for the crops I can’t see past ignorant bliss Their criminal ways have all amounted to this The air that we breathe and the compassion that we need The blood that I bleed, you’re not so different from me We’re all suffering the consequence of business Isn’t this what the books are all about? A grey landscape that we can’t live without? Manufactured lies come from all the suits and ties People who are so very clearly evil but Talk about this and you’re quickly dismissed It’s all just a theory cause boy if that came out Well then I’d be pretty leary well I’m telling you to hear me Our time is running out, we’re in the midst of a drought And the ice is melting down, I’m afraid for us now Chase your dreams while you still can Embrace your friends while they’re still there Our way of life is fading so fast I don’t know how long I’ll last

Sweet summertime come find me Find me with the trees or running in the breeze I feel your warmth on my cold back I feel attacked by the long winter bath All this time I’m grinding While I’m inside I know I’ll feel alive Pick up a stick and start to hit Remember what I miss so that’s what I’m gonna get I found it I’ve got what I need Unrestricted love that I can get more of I’m never stopping now until I get enough I’ve been at it like a bad habit If you do you may as well abuse I can’t stop just like the Red Hots I spun too fast and now I’m off track But nevermind a decline It’s on the line but I know I don’t have time I’ll keep it steady and heavy, I’m ready I’ve stayed the path so I know I’ve gotta last I found it I’ve got what I need Unrestricted love that I can get more of I’m never stopping now until I get enough When you know you’ve found your calling Don’t let it go you’ve got to carry on I can’t allow the world to pass me by So I took the other ride to the frontlines And I’m pushing through

I spend my days rolling along Until the day I’ll be soaring slowly I won’t ever slow my roll As I work I feel my worth modifying But I’m trying til I cry I just keep lying to myself then I stop And I grab a cup and then suck it up and get back in the shop My head spins until sleep wins Then I wake again to try and make amends For the failure that was yesterday I know I have to think that way Who am I to tell you how to live? After all I am just a kid But you rarely see the elderly Revolutionize our way of thinking Put the status quo into a tailspin Enough times and a wave will begin To form into the norm There will be a storm And the loss will be great I can’t wait for the pain I know we need change I spend my days rolling along Until the day I’ll be soaring slowly I won’t ever slow my roll Slowly Slowly I roll Slowly I’ll never slow my roll Slowly Slowly I roll Slowly Gain momentum as I go I’m not going without a fight and I’m done throwing in the towel every night And I won’t put out out the light Until I’m done with the work, alright yeah Can’t you save me from my own safe place? I wanna finish first in the big rat race That space may mean a big sacrifice I’m not sure I wanna leave such a nice life All my friends have gone their own ways But I got these lines and I got my *** We’re doing well but we’re not satisfied And that’s not gonna change but that is a lie Yeah we’re gonna turn it around It won’t be forever we’re stuck underground Someday the world will bow to their knees When they realize what they wanted was to be free

Come with me we’re being chased We might as well go together ‘cause we’re headed to the same place I’m not sure how they found me and I’m sorry to implicate You in my painful grace, I know there’s other ways But I don’t care, I can’t stay here Once they have you it’s the end of tears It’s the end of fears and that may sound nice But we need to feel I remember when it was revealed That what we’re told may not be real and If you don’t fight you’ll be absorbed And reformed over the years In the end what you’ve known is lost I’m afraid I can’t afford that cost So from here on out it’s not that far, we must push on It’s been a long journey now I made sacrifices and they got me down But I can’t look back it’s too far gone It’s been three years, now I’m up on a hill I can see my old house from here It’s just a pile of bricks since the accident I know I was right to leave because shortly after came the disease They must’ve been mistaken, people began shaking No one knows the cause, it could’ve been their diet or lack of pollution laws I had family there but there’s no life left just the love I lost Now I’m on my own, my companion is gone Since they dropped that bomb The sun don’t shine and the crops die young It’s been real cold and I’ve just burnt the last log I walk all day, I even tried to pray I may be the one life left and it’s all because I took a few right steps I’m not happy now but who’s to say the dead can tell?
