Despite the things I have worked so hard for I've let my jealousy get the best of me, time and time again Can't flip this hourglass and erase the past Just need to get these awful thoughts out of my head. But I have come a long way I have battled through obstacles everyday And things seem to get easier. All these failed attempts Will wash upon the shore We will acknowledge them But still go back We will all keep searching And I am caught inside a constant struggle Between the man i want to be And the boy that I'm trying to leave behind Its time to muster up the courage Let go. This is goodbye To all the hated ones in my life It's time to realize I have not always been right I've been ungrateful as they come Broken bonds with so many i loved instead of stand among the masses which allows me to fall I will face this worlds worst, and i will fight through it all.

An Heirloom 03:05
We will walk Til our feet our callousing We will scream till our lungs are collapsing We will fight Till all ears are listening. The voices are pleading Follow me, Follow me Hearts are pounding One two three, One two three Mother on the ground is Begging him, Leave me be. All before the door is slammed In front of me.

Listen to every word you speak I think its about time You practiced what you preach. Lines are always being drawn and crossed by you Words mean nothing when they are spoken Through lips with no integrity. And now that I see, That I'll never be a part of this world Its easier to let go. You can ask what your purpose is Or you can do what makes you feel alive We can fight for what our world wants Or we can do whats right. You can let them be our voices Or you can continue to scream Over and over again You have laid waste to our every dream Swearing us one thing As you sneak in our back door To steal another. We are not your property You call this opportunity? We will break the chains and we will storm your gates. You keep your filthy hands off of me. Why have we always been told, haven't you always been told? That when we grow old they will release their hold, on what makes you happy. I think i made a mistake. I must have made a mistake. Cause where i come from these songs are rarely sung, and i think its time you hear me Somethings got to be done, something has got to be done. We will never run unless its towards the sun, you were always blocking. I wont be asking again. I'll never ask you again, we will band together, raise our fists And we'll tear their house down. We are judged by empires As we sit silent in broken homes No longer will i keep my mouth shut No longer will i keep my eyes closed You are what we must defend against. Silent generations wont exist.

Endeavors 04:02
I've stepped across these lines so many times over I can't remember all the wrongs that I've done While others boast about the mountains they've climbed Reality is stuck in a rut. I want to feel the sun across my back again I want to hear the sound of rain as it falls on the ground I know things may be hard But our hardship brings us home We have all asked to much, and this is true For the emptiness inside of you To disappear without work or reason Without purpose Things have all come and gone, its give and take Homes have been washed away, the earth has quaked But together i promise we can see this through We are all built upon endeavors Efforts to determine, Where we belong. So where do i belong? Hardship is where we belong Hardship is where we came from. And all these mysteries push us farther away The few and far between are what we've become This mysteries push us farther away.

Patience 03:35
I know it's wrong but it's true. All the things I blamed on you. I've been selfish, and I've lied, but karma caught me every time. Moving mountains won happen overnight. The waves of hate i feel have washed my every sight. Again i ask myself why i had felt such pride, when looking back at things i never realized. I have been asked more than once to be an honest man, I have been asked more than once to lend a helping hand. I will not live another day, In fear of myself. I will not let another suffer over the pain i have felt And I will love as much as i've hated, i will trust as much as i doubt, i will descend to the depths I've created, each day till vie pulled myself out. I'm not saying its perfect, but it'll much better than this. I'm not sorry for mistakes I've made, They're just the dirt i stomped through that got me where i needed to be. And I've walked away from bitterness to place my life in better hands. The wrongs that I've done have made me who i am. And I know that sometimes it seems like they hold no purpose, But these days are long and our hearts are strong, we will become all that we can. Mistakes bring me where i need to be. No Hatred. No greed, Anything we need. Mistakes will bring us where we need to be No hatred, No greed, Anything we need.

I've become unsure time and time again Cause I walked the path of an empty man And I have seen things that test my strength, every day The hardest part, is the fear of becoming something that i hate I just hope i can find my call and walk it straight. I'm trying so hard to focus on the positives But this world just tries so hard To stomp us down. Tearing apart the walls we have built up To find nothing but gray skies and hollow clouds And I know this isn't the end, the war's not over yet I will not stop till my muscles burn and i rid my mind I rid my mind of its regret I have always been used up and thrown away. I'm done playing this game. Forfeit. And just walk away. Forfeit. And quit playing these games. We are all trying to cover our misfortune We all need to stop being ashamed We're all misled. We're all misled. We are misled. We are misled by a society that cares more about the brand of their shoes, the make of their car, or the price of their possessions, than the heart of its children We are misled by a nation that recognizes the complications, but does nothing to alleviate them. And we are told to hide away, to cover up our problems with material things. And to stand blind to the mysteries of the world. I wont stand blind to the mysteries of the world.
