Along this journey
Alternatives have made appearances
Without knowing where I would end up
This is the road that I chose
Is there a motive to this life or am I just consuming time?
Choosing whats right between a dream and
reality is how you control your own destiny
I chose this road striving to achieve one goal at a time
Accomplishing each goal
I’ve captured moments
That make this dream worth living
Without this feeling
Running through my veins
I will never amount to my potential
Accomplishing each goal
I’ve captured moments
That make this dream worth living
The main purpose is to feel alive inside
Lets make this moment last forever
Is there a motive to this life or am I consuming time?
Never turn back
Leave the past in the past
Eyes on our opportunity

Animosity

In the midst of all this animosity
There isn’t anyone that I would rather be
I look around and see all these judging eyes
Development is paved straight through all their lies
Stand strong for what you believe in
Only if you have self control
It’s time to show you who I really am
Because I’m sick of what you have become
Be yourself
Stick to who you are
Stand up, step away from the fault line
Merge from the background
If you can manage to rise above hostility
Never seek to please the judge mental crowd
It takes strength to stand for what you believe
In the midst of all this animosity
There isn’t anyone that I would rather be
If all you ever done your whole life is try to pursue one goal
You are straining yourself
I chose a road taken for granted by others
Change yourself before you are changed by the people around you
Scream from the silence
Let your voice be heard
When we are standing together
We will never be alone

It’s time to set out
Make my life worth something
A leap of faith
Another grasp at whats mine
No more burning bridges
That lie ends now
Take one look back and see what you’ve caused
Strive for change
We all strive to change for others
When we should be changing for ourselves
I’ve given up everything for this one choice this one lifestyle
Nothing will ever come easy under my own will
I’ve taken the long road through pain and sacrifice
I gave this my life
Enough with the negativity
And the never ending doubt
I am not afraid
Open the doors and throw away the keys
Toss away those mistakes
They will leave you knee deep
Oh how I love this mansion
though it’s too many windows
to open halfway every morning
to close halfway each night
I need to leave
I still have the legs to take me
I need to receive
I need to learn so i can give
We are all insects trapped in amber, frozen in time
There’s a difference between wanting to kill and staying alive

Epoch

I was born to be great
Predestined by those before me
They will never settle for less
As long as I am under they’re control
I live a life of captivity
They say the right man in the wrong place
Can make all the difference in the world
Well I’m in the wrong place all the time
Where is the difference I was promised?
I will not be controlled
My destiny is in the fate of my hands
It’s time to prove every single one of you wrong
We have stood strong just long enough to get thrown back in the dirt again
With the weight of the world on our shoulders
We have poised ourselves
We reform, reabsorb so that finally one day we can free ourselves
From the constraints that tie us down each night
Never will I see the light of imagination
The torch was burnt out before my existence
Before my existence
I never wanted to be like you
I am not like you
We are successors, surpassers of the former generation

Strive To Change

We all strive to change
Night after night I ask myself
"How did I get here?"
Because where I'm headed just seems so out of reach
Strike down all who oppose you
Shut out their offenses.
Let them all turn their backs
While you have the last laugh.
It only takes one to spark a change
to turn your life around today.
Don't deceive yourself
Time is not up yet
With your sights set forward
It all begins with one step.
When the sun rises and the moon falls
Remember people who've helped you say
We all strive to change.
Make the most of all the lessons you have learned
And push through all of the challenges ahead
Step up to take the lead
Go forward and never look back again.
We all strive to change
