What's the Point
01:58
|

Live to work
Work til you die
That’s not for me
What’s the point of life?
Bigger numbers,
growing your portfolio?
What will it change?
Collect, Collect,
For what?
What is it for?
Who will it help?
Does it bring you joy?
Money, Money, Money
You’ll never have enough
By the time you realize it
You’ve given it all up

All Talk
01:51
|
|||
|
All you do is talk, talk, talk, talk, talk
But nothing is accomplished
All you do is talk, talk, talk, talk, talk
Your words mean nothing
You spend all day complaining about your life, complaining about the world
Spewing your opinions to anyone with ears, It’s just fucking noise
You have all the answers to all the world’s problems, Yet you sit there
You have been there, done that? But you haven't, Stop lying
Sitting on your throne, you expect the world to revolve around you
Judging everyone, comparing to yourself
No one cares, no one is fooled
Why do I even care?

Rebuild
01:18
|
|||
|
This morning I woke up
The world had changed.
The anger, the greed, the hate
Prevailed
Does what we did mean nothing?
We made so much progress
But now we slip back down
100 years
We will rebuild
We must start again
Let’s bring us back together
United, strong,
together For once
We will rebuild
The division will not hold up
We’re human, we’re flesh,
We’re one, isn't that clear?
We will rebuild

Moving On
01:57
|
|||
|
Seduced by the promise
To grow, help, succeed
These faces are masked
These buildings are gilded
I put in the time
Going above and beyond
I made the changes
Saw the results
But nothing happened
I was forgotten
A part
of the machine
Confined to the shadows
Fighting to see the light of day
I’ve awoken from the mirage
I’ve been wasting away
There can be so much more
I am so much more
Forgotten no more
I'm making my stand
Standing up for myself
Moving up, moving on
You can’t limit my goals
Cause I won’t give up on my dreams
You have no idea
How high I can fly
There can be so much more
I am so much more
Ten years of my life
this is all I have to show
Busted my ass
for way too long
I know what I want
And it sure isn’t this
used to caring for others
had good intentions
Don't want to burn bridges
Set a flame to the past
But I
am moving on
Confined to the shadows
Fighting to see the light of day
I’ve awoken from the mirage
I’ve been wasting away
There can be so much more
I am so much more
Fuck it I’m out
I can’t take it anymore
I’m losing my mind
Still staring at the floor
I’ll start from the bottom
whatever it takes
Anything is better
Than this mistake
It’s not me
it’s definitely you
I quit

Hypocrisy
01:56
|
|||
|
Everything you said
Was some kind of fantasy
The lessons the values
That you instilled in us
It all meant nothing
Because what you did
Was turn one hundred eighty
On everything you said
Was it all a lie
When you said be kind to others
Say please and thank you
You know the golden rule
A generation
Thrown under the bus
False threat and nostalgia
That never existed
I’m nostalgic too
but for a different time
You were loving and caring
Grooming me into the man
That I am now
Who can see throw the shit
you’ve turned your back
On what mattered to you
What changed

Here to Stay
01:05
|
|||
|
We might be new, but we’re not going away
Don’t look like you or dress like you, but it doesn’t fucking matter
I don’t care about fitting in, conforming to what’s expected
Fuck the norms, I don’t care, I’m staying anyway
We might have different ideas of what this all means
We come from different places with different points of view
I’m not trying to get fucked up or get into a fight
But I’m here for the music, it means just as much to me

Set Up For Failure
02:23
|
|||
|
Big expectations
Without the tools we really need
Thrown into this new world
expected to succeed
This isn’t 1980
When things seemed much more certain
Can’t expect anything
Even if you put the work in
Grow up, Move out
Get on with your life
Go to school, get a job
Make something of yourself
200 for a book
FAFSA loans for years on out
Coming out already behind
Your greed is what it's about
It’s not just an investment
It could be a home for someone now
The middle class dream you preach
Is getting out of our reach
Pay tuition, buy a house
It’s the right way
All cash, no debt
It’s the only way
Set up for failure
We never had a chance
Set up for failure
We never had a chance

InstaGratification
01:38
|
|||
|
Anxiously awaiting
the flicker of the screen
A notification:
approval or rejection
It’s make or break
Hanging in the balance
Your sanity
Your self-worth
Whatever it takes
to get another like
Selling yourself out
For the instant gratification
All you ever want
Is another like
All you ever want
Is another like
All you ever want
Is another like
All you ever want…..
Likes and comments
Inflates your ego
You think it’s about you
It’s about what you’ve got
You don’t matter to them
And never will
All they care about
Is that last ass shot
Whatever it takes
to get another like
Selling yourself out
For the instant gratification
All you ever want
Is another like
All you ever want
Is another like
All you ever want
Is another like
All you ever want…

Four Years
01:58
|

Trapped in this system, you don’t wanna be a part of
Going through the motions, trying to act the part
Asking yourself: what’s this all for?
It’s for them, not me!
At sixteen, do you really have all the answers?
You have it all figured out?
You’re ready?
Good luck!
It’s four years
Just a flash before your eyes
The lessons you'll learn, the relationships you'll build
You'll be left behind, because the world’s not waiting for you
It's time to take action and responsibility for yourself
You rather stay home, smoke pot, play video games
Is that all there is to life?
Is the bar really that low?
It’s hard to think about the future when there is so much angst
When you look back,
you'll wonder, “what was I
thinking”?
It’s four years
Just a flash before your eyes
The lessons you'll learn, the relationships you'll build
You'll be left behind, because the world’s not waiting for you
It's time to take action and responsibility for yourself

Things were good for so long
Then you came back and you changed all that
I wanted to leave it all behind
I tried to forget, I want to forget
But now it’s all back
Right in my face, I can’t run away
Forget me
Forget you
It took so long to get to this point
I’ve reflected and matured
I don’t want to go through all that again
The wounds have healed but they’re still fresh
Just leave it alone
It’s over, I don’t want it anymore
Forget me
Forget you
We’ve grown up, and moved on
Let the past die while we move on to the next
I’m sorry to hear that you made a mistake
But it was for the best, give it a rest
Things are different, I've grown up
You should to, stop being a mess

Lies
01:34
|
|||
|
Lies - everything that you claim
Lies - we know it’s all bullshit
Lies - filling up my fucking feed
Why - just live your own life
Who are you trying to fool, what do you need to prove
But I know who you are, and you have nothing to lose
Ashamed of who you are? ashamed of your life?
It’s a stupid competition with people you'll never meet
Everything is fake, nothing is genuine
Quit lying to your friends and quit lying to yourself

Lost
03:05

Just a few steps away
I could see it, I was right there
Everything was in reach
All I had to do was just care
I let it slip away, (I failed)
I tried to take the easy path,
I didn’t have it in me
I got in my own fucking way.
30,000 in debt with nothing to show for it
Just a lot of guilt, a lot of shame
The opportunity was there
I had to accept the blame
Week long binges of netflix and distractions
Acting like nothing really mattered
I thought I was immune to my actions
I was hiding the fact that I wasn’t
Admitting to failure
It was in my hands
Faced with the consequences
Of losing out on my goal in life
I couldn’t let it happen
I had to turn it around
Gain focus, find purpose
Nothing will keep me down
