By Any Means 02:20
So lit and so sick of shots of faith. You know a cancer better than a bad day. Weighed down, living out the hard way. Bedding down where machines know your name.You’ve got the sand to combat a wall. You’ve got the heart to laugh it all off. You’ve got the love and the rock of a family. I’d say odds are on you anyway. Keep your goals and strength will grow to take on anything by any means. It may be a thorn in your side but it’s gonna be alright. True grit with the hits your fighting off. Give up the room, not the battle at the hospital. Hold the marks on the books to rip it up cause it ain’t living if we don’t live it up. Keep your goals and strength will grow to take on anything by any means. Don’t slow your roll and get on home to take on anything by any means. And so it goes... you’ve held on. Still holding on. And so it shows... nothing is final until you stop shining. Take on anything by any means.

I want to see that smile radiate for miles. Wake up and hold that light to shake up the shadows right. I know the madness has all become the normal. I’d hate to regress. Degenerations futile. Some reek of power while I seek not to wither. My will’s gone sour. Fermented failures sifted. I want to see that smile radiate for miles. Wake up and hold that light to shake up the shadows right. I’d love to trade all the old foundations rusted. My tongue is twisted. My recollection’s busted. No point in holding on to pressure boiling over. No point in holding on to whats insane. I’ll say long to the high of innocence and reminiscing. I’m holding on to the shine that saved me and the time that you gave and the time I stripped away. I want to see that smile radiate for miles. Wake up and hold that light to shake up the shadows right.

Denatured 03:03
I get along fine, but I just don’t ever get enough. I see it all right, but it just don’t ever measure up.And I know this don’t make no sense, But I can’t sleep right. Just like everybody else. Displaced and overgrown. Divided later on. Denatured all along the vine, And raised to roam. I never let my little rough steps settle in the mud. I leave it all right in the dust and kill it with the sun. And I keep building my defense, Cause I can’t sleep right. Just like everybody else. Displaced and overgrown. Divided later on. Denatured all along the vine, And raised to roam.

A day will come when the fire dies with light shimmering less at night. The reflection you have known may not be what you want. Still you carry on the best you can. Muster up a little pride and then shut your mouth and keep your feet moving for a change. Would you do for a blaze of glory in a young rebellion story? It’s easy to get bitter growing old. A little jaded, angry and cold. Losing touch with the ones you love whether you know it or not. But when you wake and find yourself alone with a broken mast and a shattered hull, you’ll recall who was steering the ship when it all went down. Would you do for a blaze of glory in a young rebellion story? Would you trade it all to begin? There’s always something that you can’t remiss. There’s always something that you can’t dismiss. You better hold tight, the storm will try to break you. There’s always something that you can’t ignore. The reality will settle scores. You better hold tight if you are looking for war. Would you do for a blaze of glory in a young rebellion story?

Time has told an overdose of dragging out the old fiend and choking on a pipe dream will lay to waste and lay to fade away. Yet here we go to overdose on dragging out the old fiend to rally round a right dream to rise and take and rise to push a wake. Are you tired? Are you broken? Are you dreaming that you’re choking? We all know the old road. We all know the result. Here we go on rules of old cutting down the heartbeat and degrading all we can’t see to lay to waste and lay to fade away. Are you tired? Are you broken? Are you dreaming that you’re choking? We all know the old road. We all know the result. What happened to peace? Let’s contemplate alone. We chose a hateful way shot to hell and wrong. What happened to peace? Let’s contemplate alone. Don’t spit on a grave whether we know or not the soul gone. Are you tired? re you broken? Are you dreaming that you’re choking? We all know the old road. We all know the result.
