This may seem so hurried won't you hear me out? These overwhelming things I feel seem so very real when I'm with you I know I could let go of the past and these doubts You've inspired this change in me so now won't you tell me this can be? You just might be the very death of me but who's to say that wasn't what I needed We just might be exactly where we're meant to be to see what we need to see When the heart don’t get its way the lessons that it takes away will make it beat so strong again This old me could not see the possibility of having what I want and getting what I need from the same being Self-imposed limits only I could see were never really helping me now you've come to finally set me free. You just might be the very death of me but who's to say that isn't what I need We just might be exactly where we're meant to be to see what we need to see When the heart don’t get its way the lessons that it takes away will make it beat so strong again

Nation 04:17
This nation that you speak of when you reminisce is just a twisted memory of a time you couldn’t see the wrong all along Rewritten… an entire people’s history replete with pretty pictures guaranteed to keep you in your seats while it all repeats The truth of everything you needed to see could make you disbelieve what they're trying to feed You’ve taken the words you claim to hold so dear and twisted them around until they betray the ones they’re mean to heal and to shield Mistaken for a criminal when just a child then judged and executed all before the blue eyes of the law the heart’s left raw And the truth is everything that they're saying can't be so question everything find the truth that you seek All nations sit on either side or in between of lines drawn up by people unable to see what draws us near out of fear Complacent… it's the perfect state to keep us in how long will we all let them oh where will we finally draw the line or is this fine?

Comeback Kid 04:25
Slipping the rope we will Bob and weave maybe land one Before he hits me No corner-man I’m overmatched swinging wild nearly off my feet Another round while he pummels me sound of the crowd is so deafening I hit the floor they’re screaming “more!” up again can’t accept defeat And I can bring you back again once you’ve had a taste the sting will not erase no matter what you believe Holding out hope for a brief reprieve fighting the reflex to retreat I never saw that old south paw laid out flat blinking at his feet Beyond the ring where my guard remains behaving as I was trained Would I pass it on if I had a son? would I struggle to refrain? And I can bring you back again once you’ve had a taste the sting will not erase no matter what you believe

Down the long white hall into the common room you ask for cigarettes and the clothes I brought for you you say "I don't mind the uniforms, but they're not the same.” and I know you think I'm busy placing blame They never asked for your surrender but white flag’s flying high Oh how I wish I could defend you from all the demons inside Off from group at six sneak a quick smoke break contemplate you day see how much you can take No they can't prescribe just what you need to take back your life and reclaim the day from the grip of night No you can't escape thoughts you think at night scratch away the skin knuckles turning white You say you only do this for a bit of control over what is left of this tattered soul They never asked for your surrender but white flag's flying high Oh how I wish I could defend you from the demons inside I accept of me the faults and complexity that make me who I am And someday you will see this world so differently now please take my hand. I think you know that we’ll survive this tragedy just like we always do Because so far as I can see you are a part of me and i'm a part of you.

Four weeks in town she would never expect pushed to the ground with dirty hands around her neck something she never thought she’d see a part of her history I started to call warn you to stay inside in your part of town there’d been this violent crime but I stopped short of dialing you because of something that I hold true You shouldn't have to hide yourself so you can walk alone at night and a smile by itself isn't always an invite I cannot imagine myself ever having to worry What would this life be like if neither side saw these lines as blurry? What do you say we behave as equals starting today? Would it play in a world where we can barely communicate? To see the world through those eyes for a moment to see a world full of eyes scanning over me What do you say? What do you say? Is the world finally ready to make a change? Watching the news it’s everything you’d expect words that they choose the images they select paint a picture of someone who may have deserved it… sad but true We’ve a long way to go as society course-corrects may these times give us pause temper our base reflex so we’ll finally learn to see…

Take it Over 03:15
I don't know why I didn't say what I was thinking that day no I can't lie I was afraid what you might say Let’s all take it over again maybe say the right thing and then we’d never let that evening end that way You won't believe how hard I tried I'd have never found my softer side if not for you I don't know what I could say to take these feelings away these haven't been our finest days now you’re begging me to stay Let’s all take it over again maybe say the right thing and then we’d never let that evening end that way You'll never know how hard I cried believing that this love had died but not for you I don’t know why people say when they are feeling this way they'll live to fight another day Who lives for fighting anyway? Let’s all take it over again maybe say the right thing and then we’d never have to let that evening end that way Let's both forgive those stupid lies and see this through each other’s eyes I'm all for you
