Break Free 01:56
Break free from what you know, release your mind from the conformity that surrounds you. Make this life yours, I’ll make it mine.

Conformity 03:23
When will we realize that the only ones we’ve lost to the selfish minds is ourselves. How will we set ourselves apart from the careless crowds that destroy our kind. History will repeat itself as long you let it. What to do, brainwashed by the mainstream view, clouded eyes, wandering minds. Trying to fight, trying to run away from something you know that is here to stay. Move on, move on. You’ve gotta move on. I know that we are able to overcome. There’s just something that I cannot change, an inner motive that’s kept its place all these years. Sometimes I feel like just hanging it up, right here right now. All I know is that I know nothing.

I’m beginning to see how this is taking shape. Everything I work for seems to turn into nothing. It’s clear to me that no matter how much I give, it will never be enough. There will always be something standing in my way. I know that I can push through this, I always will (I always will) with the support of my brothers. This is a constant fight we’ve never lost, we never will (we never will) with the support of my brothers. We will carry on and let go of everything. We need to remove ourselves from what brings us down. With one step forward we may come to find what this is and what this is all about. So take one step back and say what you want. I was made to overcome the threat of being alone. Even if I was abandoned I won’t turn them away. I might fall on my knees but I will carry us through a war. Who really cares what you think? I’m gonna do this for me. You try to shoot me down and I’ll never stop whether you like it or not. It’s plain to see how this is unfolding. This is a constant fight that will never end, I can crumble but I won’t quit. I’ve got my brothers’ back and they’ve got mine. We can crumble, but we won’t quit.

Spread Thin 03:10
You can’t live a positive life with a negative mind. Let’s tape together some of these broken hearts. You expect me to live a life like this, when all you do is put me down. There’s no point in living spread thin. You’re giving me false support and it’s only pushing me harder. With a view of no future for me, I take my life in my hands and make my destiny. You’ll never understand, I’ve bit my tongue for too long. Step back. Live and let go, there’s a lesson to learn everywhere you go with everything you know. I keep it together despite the circumstances you put me in, I am a dreamer that chases one thing and you’re in my way. I am a calm man, a gentle dreamer. Spread Thin.
5.
Suspects 03:39
Each and every day continues to stay the same, nothing’s changing. I will not stand by and watch my life fade away. I am moving on, and there’s only so much I can do for everyone around me. I’m not accusing any of you of being suspects, but I need to be alone. All of this injustice no matter where I go, I will continue to stand on my own. How can I feel like I’m living with a purpose, when trust I held is falling from me. I can never go back to where I was, or where I’m from. Follow the signs ahead, it’s time to move on. Looking at everything I’m going to leave behind, is this the end of everything I’ve known? Trying to stay in the limelight of my life, this is my time. Buried in the soil of this place I once called home. I must dig myself out with my own two hands; it’s time to change things up. I must clear my mind and open myself to new surroundings. New beginnings that will define who I am. This is what I’m made for, I will make a change. I will stand where no one has stood before, and you will remember my name.

Sleepwalker controlled by the heartless. Unknowing, betrayed and abandoned (abused and neglected). When taken for granted, the mind is a terrible thing. Abused and neglected (betrayed and abandoned), degrading work for those who have nothing. In the darkness, in the temple, in the city streets. These tragedies serve as a painful reminder, a reflection in the mirror of iniquity. I will not stand by and admit defeat, enough with the violence. All this time I’ve been examining our kind. Heartbroken, pitiful, with Narrow Hearts. Heartbroken, miserable, with narrow minds. And eventually they will come to see that they’re exactly like you and me.

Pvt. White 05:08
You are the reason that I am up here. Three years passed by and not a word was spoken. Now tell me soldier what have I done for you? You’ve done so much for me, and I’m trying to see this through. Because you taught me that in all of us there is a way that we can lead (we can lead). Music is easy, but people are another breed. You gave everything for me and we all know that freedom isn’t free (freedom isn’t free). If I could instill some hope in you, then I know that I’ve done my part. I’ve realized that this is what I’m doing for you. There’s so much to live for and we’ll find it. We will find it no matter what. I will find a way to make things better, you are the reason that my heart beats. What my blood is to you is why I am the way I am. You are the reason that I am here, you are the reason that there is hope, you are the reason that I can lead, you are the reason that there is freedom. You are the reason. Now Pvt. White, keep your head up son (Jake White keep your head up son). There is always hope (always hope).
