Lift Me Up
Well, it slipped through my fingers
It wasn’t meant to last
All I did was pour my heart out
So it won’t happen to us
Not a chance
Never again – hypocrite
Never again – seen through it
Never again – dealt with it
Never again
Well, it’s time to move forward
There’s no use to rebuilt
All I did was scream my lungs out
There was nothing but guilt
Not a chance
Never again
I stand no chance
Never again
I need someone
Lift me up

Desperate Times
I’m afraid there will never be peace
Raised in hell like a spreading disease
We all know who’s the first casualty
Will I have the strength?
There’s no subtlety
I’ll remember – desperate times
Remember – don’t lose your mind
Remember – desperate times
Deception or lies let you reap
It keeps people awake until one can sleep
I won’t argue cause behind that façade
I can’t tell if you’re honest of if you are fake
The world is suffering
Two jobs won’t pay the rent
The poor still feed the rich
No trust in politics
Vivid depiction in my head of an
Empire in the face of pain and power abuse
There is hope in places, not much else to be found
It gets drowned
I’ll remember

Like No Tomorrow
Things rarely change in the thick of it
Transforming challenge, you don’t give a shit
I don’t want to waste any more time
Cause you are not a friend of mine
You live your life like there’s no tomorrow
At the corner, a light in the dark
Everyday saga, we all play our part
There’s violence in the street
So many struggle to make ends meet
Some people just can’t leave it alone
Chances are that life is an endless slide
Missed another due date
Asked for another advance
Life’s spiraling out of control
Like a drill to the chest
Big head, big mouth
Perceptions change

Make No Mistake
I don’t know what you’re looking at
Trapped in your thoughts like yesterday
Live for today, hope for tomorrow
Self-respect, but make no mistake
Make no mistake
Understand sometimes it feels like
Everything grinds to a hold
Unless you overcome the shadow
Your former self, stay strong and bold
Make no mistake
First steps and you’ve started somewhere
If somehow you need a friend
Let me help you through the valley
Till the end, make no mistake

Facing The Facts

Facing the Facts
The news I see, they drive me insane
It feels like we might end up losing again
What can we do? It’s time to start
Or will it keep breaking my heart?
And I will face the facts – no regrets
I will face the facts
Floodgates open, deception at large
It seems like we might lose to those left in charge
What’s left to do? I’m not here to play
Times flies, keeps on ticking away
Facing the facts – no regrets
World’s torn apart, torn apart

Willpower
Manifest your future, it will all come true
I’m not sure it’s working
You set your mind to it and act on it
I know that I’m not alone
Many strong we can move the world
I don’t have all the answers
If in need just do the deed
All I need is willpower
All I need is willpower
All I need is willpower
All I need is willpower
When time’s moved on and I’m missing my cue, it’s too late
Dedication and passion, getting in on the action is key
My mind is set and I’m physically where I want to be
My heart goes out to everyone who’s with me
Willpower is all I need

Face-Off

Face-off
It was enough to take when you came around
Swept me off my feet, the way you knocked me out
We’re at a face-off
We’re at a face-off
We’re at a face-off
We’re at a face-off
Confidence undefeated
I move up, you move down
We’ve come a long way my friend
Trouble’s always ahead
We’ve come a long way my friend
Won’t have to be afraid
We no longer stray too far from home
Taking our time, it’s taking a toll
Once and for all I will settle the score
Not killing my mood, not killing my drive
And I try, I try, I try, I try and I try
I’m not giving up, not an option now
It is time

Spirit
It happened all a long time ago
We were young, went to every show
We had our backs when the fun turned violent
Are you with me or in denial?
Some call it dance floor justice
I call it lame
It ain’t a new religion, but my spirit remains
The more the merrier, that’s what they say
All it did was make me stay away
The dogs got old, the fight is gone
Stage dives, high fives and sing-a-longs
My spirit remains
It keeps me alive
Putting differences aside
No one needs to get hurt
Be on their toes and alert
We’re here to have a good time
It’s a state of mind
The spirit remains

Injustice System

Injustice System
Born into and raised by an
Injustice system
How long can we close our eyes to an
Injustice system?
What keeps us from questioning this
Injustice system?
Who will pay the price? I’m fed up
Injustice system – no restrictions
No
How dare you speak for us?
You just don’t speak for us
How come you speak for us?
Don’t ask why none of the answers apply
Injustice system
Consume and buy your shit to keep alive an
Injustice system
Full of lies, there’s a new royalty
Injustice system
See who pays the price, I’m fed up
Rise up
I can’t let go the thought of inner struggle
Day by day no say – suffer
No bullshit, no oppression, no power
There’s silence
Speak up for change, not gain
Fight back
Injustice system – no restrictions
Injustice system

Broke
Don’t go broke – no
You’re living in a state out of mind
You try to live amongst the people, but out of sight
Living like your life’s behind
I know the absence of light
Step it up or break apart
And I pledged my last shirt off for you
You lost all your credit, now I refuse
It’s time to get this straight
I won’t look the other way
What it might even be like
I’m not waiting for another strike

Not For Sale
I’m sorry, I can’t help you
You didn’t listen
There’s only so much I can do
I’m sorry, I can’t help you
You didn’t stop
You just did the things you do
I tried my best, but failed the test
It’s not a one-way street, I guessed
You give and you earn
You live and you learn
With love and strong hands I reached out
You were the one lost in the crowd
Not for sale
All good things are wild and free
You chose to live your life in misery
You closed the shades and it all turned black
But for you there was no coming back
Not for sale
I’m sorry
