Take a deep breath, breathe it all in.
You’ll never live this moment twice, you’ll never live your life again.
Crawling to find a way to pull yourself from the gutters of your mind.
Dragging your feet through life, with no end in sight.
Finding the centre of the maze is how to free your mind.
The start and the end are one in the same.
It’s always been inside you, waiting to be set free.
The strength to end your suffering, the strength to fight for your life.
Finding the centre
Nothing is holding you down except your own mind.
Always remember this.
Nothing is keeping you from making your life worthwhile.
While you sleep, this life keeps passing you by
and nothing's making sense the way it did before.
Free your mind. I know in dreams you can fly.
but I know it's make believe. So see the world for what it is.
Push through the darkness, reach for the light.
Break through the bars in the cage of your mind.
Crawling to find a way to pull yourself from the gutters of your mind.
Dragging your feet through life, with no end in sight.
Finding the centre of the maze is how to free your mind.
The start and the end are one in the same.
It’s always been inside you, waiting to be set free.
The strength to end your suffering, the strength to fight for your life.
Finding the centre.
Nothing is holding you down except your own mind.
Always remember this.
Nothing is keeping you from making your life worthwhile.
Making your life worthwhile.
Finding the centre.

Up The Guts and Into 'em

Our sisters, our brother sleeping there right in the gutter.
Keep building your towers. Over-inflated sense of power.
Keep building for progress. Over-inflated sense of purpose.
Keep pushing for progress until it makes us sick.
I will not stand alone.
For every bridge that's burned, another lesson's learned.
Keep pushing through the pain.
Don't say you're better on your own I know I can't do this alone.
I know I'm speaking in cliches, blue skies were once a shade of grey.
I swear just keep on holding tight, I know we'll make it through the night.
So just keep holding onto me and I'll keep holding onto you.
Oh, there's always something new to learn.
There's always something new to teach.
There's always something that'll take you to a place that's hard to reach.
I know you never felt at home, I know it wasn't all your fault.
and now you're looking for a place to settle down and plant some roots.
Be the change you want to see.
I know you never felt at home, I know it wasn't all your fault.
Keep pushing through the pain.
Don't say you're better on your own I know I can't do this alone.
I know I'm speaking in cliches, blue skies were once a shade of grey.
I swear just keep on holding tight, I know we'll make it through the night.
So just keep holding onto me and I'll keep holding onto you.
I'll keep holding onto you.
You worship a conglomerate. For those of us less fortunate,
you're a burden on society and if you died that would be fine with me.
With me.

Waltzing to kill her

The sun sets, you feel it setting in.
This uneasy tension in your chest.
I know the streets seem different.
It’s not easy, believe me.
Too many times we see the news, unsettling turn of events.
So easy to ignore, from the other side of the fence.
How could you forget? Not an object, but a person.
How could you forget? It’s not about you, change your mindset.
How can we pretend? They're standing right in front of you.
It’s time to take a stand, to cure this social disease.
He’s closing in on you now, watching, waiting.
Hide in the shadows from the light, it will be over soon.
He’s closing in on you now, watching, waiting.
You’ll never see it coming and it should never happen.
I know what happens next, judge, jury, executioner.
I know you didn’t picture this, it’s not something you plan for.
I know he sees the truth, a monster, vile piece of garbage.
I know you will not meet your end, without putting up a fight.
Is this what we want? A generation born of fear.
Is this what we choose? Will this be our legacy?
Raise your sons not to hate, Raise your daughters free of blame.
Raise your children to respect, the consequences of their actions.
Raise your sons not to hate, Raise your daughters free of blame.
Raise your children better than you, the future could be our last hope.
Raise your sons not to hate, Raise your daughters free of blame.
Raise your children with compassion, or be left with something heartless.

The time has come to set the record straight.
We've spent too long in a world controlled by hate.
Too blind to see, the great hypocrisy.
Seperate the church and state, for the dawning of new days.
History will define the way you feel inside as unjustified, blind and stupid.
This is not a test, this is life and death, suicide attempts, all for your pride.
There's a choice today, make another way, you've a choice to make, make the right one.
This is not a test, this is life and death, suicide attempts, all for your pride.
Does it have to be this way? What does it matter if a person's gay?
Nobody chooses to be born. Nobody chooses what makes them feel alive.
What makes them feel alive.
And I shouldn't have to justify living life between the lines.
It's not a topic for debate, doesn't matter that I'm straight.
The time has come to set the record straight.
We've spent too long in a world controlled by hate.
Too blind to see, the great hypocrisy.
Seperate the church and state, for the dawning of new days.
Just because the way you live is different,
doesn't make you less of a person.
Does it have to be this way? What does it matter if a person's gay?
Nobody chooses to be born. Nobody chooses what makes them feel alive.

No Hero

High above the city streets, I sit and bide my time.
I know there’s evil afoot. You'll never win tonight.
Patrolling every night to keep you safe from harm.
I know it’s hard to believe me when I say.
That I'll be watching you.
Just have faith. Have faith that I'll be there.
Trust me I know, it’s hard to stay strong.
The answers you seek, words you’ll never know.
I know I said I'd never let you down.
Remind yourself that I am only a man.
With the strength to fight for those who can’t.
Pay for your sins let the innocent live free.
You’ve lost your right to choose the ending.
Oh, I’m holding all the kings.
The time has come to cash your chips in.
I’m always thirty moves ahead
There’s no world in which you win this fight
I will not rest 'til the city sleeps safe again.
I wasn’t born into this life, I choose it every single day.
I’ve lost so much to reach this point and now there’s nothing left to take.
Now there’s nothing left to take.
I will not rest 'til the city sleeps safe again.
'til the city sleeps.
