Repercussions And who are you to even tell me what’s right You can’t keep up with your own life You’ve gotta’ face the facts Courtesy is what you lack You’ll never get far with that now will you You made the conscious decision To turn your back on what you loved You have to keep yourself in check ‘Cause you’re miserable and your life’s a wreck But there’s no one else to blame but you For all the hell you put me through And you’ll never know that you brought this on yourself Someday you’ll see That your actions affect me And that’s hardly what I deserve And you’ll never know that you brought this on yourself It’s all falling perfectly into place And you’ll never know that you brought this on yourself And I’ll be there to watch you melt To put this bluntly you’re acting like a child You can’t live your life being so reckless and wild And someday you’ll see that your actions affect me And that’s hardly what I deserve So put it down and get back up Cause only you could make this hurt so much It’s not too much for me to ask you to control your actions It’s not too much to ask for you to have some self-respect To put it down and get back up ‘Cause only you could make this hurt so much Put it down and get back up And you’ll never know that you brought this on yourself It’s all falling perfectly into place And you’ll never know that you brought this on yourself And I’ll be there to watch you melt

Levelheaded 04:09
You told me you wanted better for yourself But I have yet to see you try You have to harness the strength from within you You’re just recycling lies Recycling lies, always a game never the same You have to open your eyes just to see what you already know Never alone you’re not alone Even when you’re on your own I’m passing on what I’ve been told I’m telling you, you have to grow Don’t hold your breath there’s still something left Even when you’re on your own I’m passing on what I’ve been told I’m telling you, you have to Grow into a man become The person you were molded from The good the bad the in between Stares like a mirror back at me We drown in feelings that are not worth feeling But through the learning the pain and the healing You have to make your opinion known Find the roots you once lost and grow Never alone you’re not alone Even when you’re on your own I’m passing on what I’ve been told I’m telling you, you have to grow Don’t hold your breath there’s still something left Even when you’re on your own I’m passing on what I’ve been told I’m telling you, you have to grow (Not alone) Never alone (Hold Your Breath) There’s still something left

The words you say won’t bring me to my knees You do not have control of my head You’ll never make me change my mind I’ll always feel the same You will never get in my way I’ve got my brothers by my side And they will share my pain And then I think to myself Where would I be without them Probably nowhere Our way of thinking is rebellion Follow my voice and you’ll see That we’re resilient Resilience is the key if you wish to overcome Never backing down even when it’s tough (The words you say won’t bring me to my knees You don’t not have control of my head) I won’t take your… I won’t take your dignity I only wish to bring you peace And if you’re fast asleep just know that I won’t be So sleep with one eye open cause I won’t be And then I think to myself Where would I be without them Probably nowhere Our way of thinking is rebellion Follow my voice and you’ll see That we’re resilient, resilience The words you say won’t bring me to my knees You do not have control of my head

Know Better 03:39
Don’t try to take them all the long way You can create yourself even on the shortest road [x2] You have to think for yourself or you will always be held To the standards of those who make your choice for you Don’t be so afraid step up to the choice you made Don’t try to take them all the long way You can find yourself even on the shortest road The only thing you need to know is I will never let you go You’ve been clinging for too long and now it's time to let me go [x2] You have to find yourself there's no one else To calm this storm inside your head Don’t let this be the end you'll find your way Don’t let them sway your opinion The only thing you need to know is I will never let you go You’ve been clinging for too long and now its time to let me go [x2] Don’t try to hide it’s easier to let it go Don’t let the things they say be the person you know You’ve ‘gotta get up You know better Don’t let this be the end of you This heartache will not be the last stand If you get up and set yourself free The only thing you need to know is I will never let you go You’ve been clinging for too long and now its time to let me go [x2]

It’s bleeding out my throat It’s piercing through my skin This feeling from within It’s bleeding out my throat And forcing me to choke It’s like the devil on my shoulder Is speaking loud into my ears Yes I will walk the road less traveled But I won’t leave you all behind I’ll come back and make it right This isn’t a choice for me I just know what I was made to do But don’t you dare turn your back on me ‘Cause you don’t know what I’ve been going through Don’t carry this weight on your own It’s not fair to yourself to make you do it alone It’s an ongoing struggle I must overcome But I’ll take a step back so it’s not overdone We have to be strong we must carry on This life as you know it will someday be gone I can’t believe its real With all these things I feel

I have to find my home And if it’s not where it was back then Then I’ll set foot on the road To find myself to free my soul I’ll shout it loud so everybody knows I’m free I finally found me I’ve traveled for so long Just to be shot down and turned away But I won’t leave until I color in the grey I have to find my home And if it’s not where it was back then Then I’ll set foot on the road To find myself to free my soul I’ll shout it loud so everybody knows I’m free I finally found me I felt abandoned since you walked away I never told you I would be ashamed I swear I’ll never regret it But it’s still lingering in my mind I’ve still been searching since you told me You never listen to a word I said I swear I’ll never regret it But it’s still in my mind Was it over when you walked away I’m not afraid of what you told me It’s hard enough to keep my focus clear You think my confidence is folding I’ll over come the fear I’m not scared but I’d rather be anywhere but here I will take you there before we disappear I’m not scared but I’d rather be anywhere but here I will take you there before we disappear I have to find my home And if it’s not where it was back then I have to find my home And if it’s not where it was back then Then I’ll set foot on the road To find myself to free my soul I’ll shout it loud so everybody knows I’m free I finally found me I finally found me I finally found me

This is the story of your procrastination And all the things you fear This is a figment of your imagination Your thoughts are never clear When will these thoughts go away There’s never been a day of peaceful thinking in my life When will my heart lead the way And speak the words I want to say Don’t let this control you You have to speak up for yourself Don’t let it destroy you You have to let your voice be heard Don’t let yourself be persuaded By desires you don’t need Your thoughts are all so jaded with all this greed Don’t be so afraid this could be a good thing You’ve carried the weight all this time But now you’re dragging You don’t know where to go Don’t be so afraid This could be a good thing Don’t let your life slip away Don’t let this control you You have to speak up for yourself Don’t let it destroy you You have to let your voice be hear Don’t let yourself be persuaded By desires you don’t need Your thoughts are all so jaded with all this greed Jealousy can lead to worse things than greed But the worst part is you do not know what you need But imagination isn’t always a bad thing Just think of all the possibilities you bring Don’t second-guess but know your answer isn’t always yes [x2] It’s hard to see past your selfish mind When all the world can sit and watch it unwind

Undaunted 03:58
They always told me be afraid of the dark Always shouting I was cursed with a mark It looked at me and said “is it alive or dead?” With grey cloaked eyes Is it dead or is it alive I should’ve never fell asleep My restless soul can’t even weep It creeps around the corner it sleeps under your bed There’s no escaping things that live inside your head It creeps around the corner it sleeps under your bed There’s no escaping things that live inside your head I should’ve never fell asleep I should’ve never fell asleep My restless soul can’t even weep I should’ve never fell asleep My restless soul can’t even weep It creeps around the corner it sleeps under your bed There’s no escaping things that live inside your head I should’ve never fell asleep I should’ve never fell asleep

Lionhearted 03:36
I will stay level-headed I will hold on to my pride I’ll remain the accolade I will light the way and hold my head up high You are the accolade and you were chosen to light the way Just be strong and know before long Your heart will be golden your sin will be gone Learn to speak for yourself But don’t forget my friend that knowledge is wealth You may remember this day looking back Remember the courage you lacked So ask yourself what do you have to lose You are the accolade and you were chosen to light the way You are the accolade and you were chosen to light the way Just be strong and know before long Your heart will be golden your sin will be gone The wind was slowly shifting with silence over head The weight was surely lifting Accolade light the way Don’t let your heart be caged Don’t live in rage This life is not a choice or a burden And why we do this you may never be certain But know we will never give up on the hope This life is not a choice or a burden And why we do this you may never be certain But know we will never give up on the hope You are the accolade and you were chosen to light the way Just be strong and know before long Your heart will be golden your sin will be gone You are the accolade and you were chosen to light the way Just be strong and know before long Your heart will be golden your sin will be gone Light the way

ou are the barrier that blocked the light from your path You are the carrier and you will find your way When all you do is quit you call it trying You’ve got to tell the truth instead of lying Pick up your confidence and let it push you through The only one who sees this through is you And soon you’ll have to learn You’ll have to learn to walk away And soon you’ll learn You’ll have to learn to walk away You, you have to hold yourself Accountable for everything you’ve done Instead of running from yourself Run away You can never turn your back again You have to tell yourself you want to change Make yourself the person you want to be Only you can set your mind free Don’t let this begging you be the death of me Only you can open up and see You, you have to hold yourself Accountable for everything you’ve done Instead of running from yourself Run away

I will be your voice Illuminate the way I can get there if you stay It’s clear that I need you to be Who I’ve always aimed to be Now is the time to take a step back and realize This isn’t just a way of thinking its what keeps us all from sinking You’ve gotta' keep your head on straight Illuminate the way I can get there if you stay It’s clear that I need you to be Who I’ve always aimed to be As sure as the night was cold I knew I had to stand out and be bold And as the wind cracks against my face I’m reminded that I do this for the roots I trace You gave me my voice I know what I have to do And now it’s no choice I have to give it to you I have to repay Patience was never enough no it was never enough It’s the only way Illuminate the way I can get there if you stay It’s clear that I need you to be Who I’ve always aimed to be But it can’t just be all for me Everyone deserves a chance to just be free I have to share I have to let them know

He saw the signs but he refused to look behind She said “My son what have you done You’ll never know what you’ve become My son you hold the gun But the trigger is your tongue So take away all the fallacy of fantasy Stick to what you’ve known all your life My son you’re the gun But the trigger is your tongue So take away all the fallacy and the fantasy Stick to what you’ve known all your life” The moon had surely melted once he gained the strength to try But don’t let it fool you he came out the other side He came out the other side This journey is not hopeless I will not settle for less The meaning of my life Was not a choice of mine I’m in a rift I just need some time That’s when he knew he was the only one to prove He looked inside himself and saw For all this time he has been so wrong His only wish was to see clear But it had stricken him with fear It left his mind completely paralyzed But soon he’d open up his eyes He said I refuse to close my eyes I will not be blind I will open up my mind It’s not make believe It’s what it seems This journey is not hopeless I will not settle for less The meaning of my life Was not a choice of mine I’m in a rift I just need some time He said I won't close my eyes I will not be blind I will open up my mind
