We have all bought the lie
Somewhere along the way x2
The world wants you to believe
Your dreams are best left in the dust
Sitting up on a shelf
Forgotten and
Tossed to the side
We have all
been deceived
Filled with thoughts
Of malice and greed
It’s time to show our mettle
What we need now is...
Courage!
I have tried all my life
To be one
With my hopes and dreams
Letting the world
Get the best of me
I can no longer see
All of the forces corrupting me
No longer will they meddle
In my life
It’s time to start living for me
We will not be brought down
Into a shallow grave
We will rise above this
And bury our mistakes
OH
I have tried all my life
To be one
With my hopes and dreams
Letting the world
Get the best of me
I can no longer see
All of the forces corrupting me
No longer will they meddle
In my life
It’s time to start living for me
I am so tired of all these days
Passing me by
With nothing to say x2
I
Can try
Everyday
To be
So much better
I have tried all my life
To be one
With my hopes and dreams
Letting the world
Get the best of me
I can no longer see
All of the forces corrupting me
No longer will they meddle
In my life
It’s time to start living for me

Finisher
03:29

You can tell the strength of a person
By how they endure
Even when they've been knocked down
When every fiber is tested
And you have to hold your ground
We all suffer
and try to hide it away
We must finish what we've started
Never let that pain
Get in the way.
Build a new foundation
Built to last through Hell
Pain can shape you
But don't ever lose yourself
Unearth the real you that's been hidden away
Release your demons it's time to make them pay
Every word, that cuts like a knife
Can not be used, to end your life
Through every obstacle we will fight x2
Nothing can bring us down x2
We are all Finishers
We endure where others can not
We will see this life through
We will never be stopped by you
Through every obstacle we will fight x2
Nothing can bring us down x2
We are all Finishers

Gratitude

Being free
That flash of energy that validates
All that is worth pursuing
In this world
In this world
Living free
Comes at a cost
A price I'm willing to pay
Instead of just staying lost
When you take the time to learn from your mistakes
You make the world
A brighter place
Don’t let the dust of life
Choke out your dreams
Make something greater
Than this moment
I’ll rebuild everything that I am
Everything I can be
From the ground up
A new obstacle at every turn
Am I the man I claim to be?
Forcing me to apply everything I’ve learned
Leaving no lesson wasted
Is this the nightmare I’ve tasted?
You’re holding onto
Fragments of a replica
The original piece
Long since thrown away
Don’t let the muck of life
Drown out your dreams
Make something greater
Than this moment
I’ll rebuild everything
That I am
The person I can be
From the ground up
Life may be painful
The world may be hard
But through each other
We rise!
Don’t let the pain of life
Hollow out your dreams
Make something greater
Than this moment
I’ll rebuild everything
That I am
The person I'm becoming
From the ground up
Stay true
Be free
Fight through
Live free
OH!!!

Apathy
04:07

I won't let your apathy be the death of me
Oh subtle mediocrity, you won't get the best of me
Some days the only
Energy I can muster
Is pure malcontent
At the state of this world
Every day I see talking heads
Preaching profit but killing integrity
You can't touch greatness
If you're holding on to something less
Everyone wants to taste greatness
But we settle for lesser sweets
Bound by the lands of comfort, convenience, and complacency
You can break free of this darkness
You can shed these chains
You can break these bonds
You can break free of this darkness
You can show the world
What you really are
Our days are short and time is numbered
This world was built to keep you down
But you don't have to listen
Stand above the crowd
Scream it loud
This apathy
Will never keep us down
We all feel emotionless
Days of pure dissonance
But not today
Today we stand united
We stand together
Together and we fight
You can break free of this darkness
You can shed these chains
You can break these bonds
You can break free of this darkness
You can show the world
What you really are!
I am so sick of feeling alone, scared, tired, and angry
I know you stand with me
We are so much more
We are here
They can't stop us
I want you to show me
Show me, show me we are better
You can break free of this darkness
You can shed these chains
You can break these bonds
You can break free of this darkness
You can show the world
What you really are

Freedom
04:14
|
|||
Guilt still plagues me
With weighted memories
Of wrong steps I’ve taken
Some days I wish
I could erase all my thoughts
Letting my mistakes
Fade with the wind
But a forgotten mistake
Is doomed to repeat itself
I need to make good
On moments of clarity
Knowing that my past
Is just an inch away
Reaching for something more
Before I hit the floor
We all have the freedom to be
Better than we were before
Life has no meaning
When we cannot face
What we’ve done
We all have the freedom to be
Better than we were before
Life gives us meaning
When we discover
Who we are
Gratitude guides you
If you’re willing to be led
You can’t see freedom
When you’re stuck in your head
Waking up every day
In a world of polluted profusion
It’s easy to lose sight
Of what’s right in front of you
When it’s been taken away
What are you gonna do
It’s easy to curse the night
When black clouds have
Ruined your day
Bring light into this world x2
We all have the freedom to be
Better than we were before
Life has no meaning
When we cannot face
What we’ve done
We all have the freedom to be
Better than we were before
Life gives us meaning
When we discover
Who we are
In this life
There is pain and pleasure
Our chosen actions
Determine the measure
Freedom’s not always free
But my life
My life is chosen by me
Yeah!!!!
My life is free
I’m free to be my chosen me
I want you to see
We all have the freedom to be
Better than we were before
Life gives us meaning
When we discover
Who we are
