Wake Up Call

Landing on solid ground
The time approaching where we all fall down
With each new wave another wake up call
Deep in our minds
Where did it all go wrong?
Steadfast we hold our breath wishing it all away
Waiting for a sign to bring us back some day
We hold our breath and wish it all away
And wait for the day
To watch it all just wash right away
When will it all just make sense to me?
Is this some sort of wake up call?
Something I cant ignore?
Show me a sign of life
Just give me something more
I'm told to take a number like the others
To take a number and get back into line
Falling fast sure as the sun may rise
We're discovering all the things we hide
So much from ourselves
It's got me wondering
What's going on inside?
Have we been here before?
There's something so familiar about
this place
Can you tell me what for?
Still we keep holding our breath
So could you please lend me your ears
I've been far gone far far too long
As we masquerade, what is this game
And this constant charade?
When did your heart cease to beat anyway?
Steadfast we hold our breath

On Edge

You think I've gone to far this time?
Tossed to the wolves, for another feeding frenzy
If you could see what's going on inside
You'd probably second guess me my dark secret
So tell me what is this all about?
What is this call to arms?
To test me?
Take what you need from me
Discard the rest, but I wont go peacefully
I'm on the edge again
Of breaking down in a world gone crazy
I'm on the edge again
And it's a mystery how it does not phase me
So tell me how did you think I would react?
I'm a pawn in this game and it's far from over
This contradiction in terms makes it worse
Been pushed to the edge kicked down knocked over
Well here we stand again, and again, and again
How's it end? is this the best of it?
You've made it clear my friend
That this is the end when all ties are broken
Now taking a step back
It's not alright
What's been left behind
Now looking down a new avenue
Hoping to see the signs
Now taking a step back
What's not alright?
Taking it one step at a time

Courage

So you say you're on your own
And nothing's going right
Fist to fist and heart to heart
You get back up and fight

And now...
Your torn like a flag on a battleground
Stepped on and beaten down
But somehow, yeah somehow
You still manage, yeah you manage to survive
You manage to survive.

[Chorus:]
It's your courage
Take 'em on, take 'em out
Take a stand, take a bow
It's your courage
Take 'em on, take 'em out
Take a stand, take a bow

So...
So now you're thinking it's the end
You're stuck in your self doubt
And if a picture says 1000 words
Take 'em till your words run out
Well it's a new chapter in your life
In your broken soul, your broken bones
Your broken heart, your broken bonds
But you still fight to make it right
In your broken soul, your broken bones
Your broken heart, your broken bonds
But you still fight to make it right
to make it right

[Chorus:]
It's your courage
Take 'em on, take 'em out
Take a stand, take a bow
It's your courage
Take 'em on, take 'em out
Take a stand, take a bow

It's last call, last chance
Line 'em up and let's make it last
Why wait when the days go fast
Make the call don't let it pass
[x4]

[Chorus:]
It's your courage
Take 'em on, take 'em out
Take a stand, take a bow
It's your courage
Take 'em on, take 'em out
Take a stand, take a bow

It's your courage [x8]

No Regrets

I've lived through tragedies
Fuck up most every year
Another dead end
And another chance just to turn it around
Watching the rise and fall
Most each and every day
Any chance it's getting old
There's no way
No regrets
I know this is the way it had to go
No regrets
We go once again into the unknown
These scars tell a story
The calm right after the storm
That change of pace that's left you
Wondering what it was all for
Tearing you down again
The puzzle piece that broke
But through it all it seems
You've only grown strong
No regrets
I know this is the way it had to go
No regrets
We go once again into the unknown
(It shows me a new place in the end)

Talk Is Cheap

You talk and talk's so cheap
You're finally cashing in
With your words so sleek
The truth is wearing thin
You're coming to me
Please tell me this is a joke
I've heard you spitting lies
Since the first word you spoke
Ideas and stipulations put us right back again
Applauds ring out for your performance
As respect slowly draws
Your prominent passion for passing off
All the problems you've caused
While taking on all of the pages of all of
The truth as were robbed
Over and over again sewn for a quick fix
Over and over again resend recycle again
Struggle for something when you don't
Know the cause
Your prominent passion for passing of all
Of the truth that you've robbed
Well here I am
I'm that fire in your eyes
Here I am
The desire that you will not find
So baby tell me no more lies

The Bravery

We are the bravery that stands today
And paves our own way
These are my hopes
These are my dreams
This is the way that I'd like to think
That things could be
Out on my own taking the chances as i go
I'll never give in, I'll never give up
I'm going to fight this till then end of my days
And I'm turning blue in the face
Because my heart tells me not to take this
With every breath that i breathe today
I'm not giving up, fuck your expectations
These words I'll sing until my dying day
We are the bravery that stands today
And paves our own way
For now we go against the grain
And take the reigns for a better dat
I'm standing outside of the box
Trying to get a new point of view
Something we have never seen before
But keeping the faith in all I've known
True to myself to the day I die
All these things that keep me alive
This music, my love, my pain
What's paved the way
Because my heart tells me not to take this
With every breath that I breathe today
I'm not giving up, fuck your expectations
These words I'll sing until my dying day

Carpe Diem

Never planned on all these mistakes
Always took it as it came with vengeance
Feeling that you felt was fake
As it takes control and takes you down relentless
Taking all that you know you feel
Another falicy brought attention
To all that you had laid to rest
But now its got you thinking I don't care
Like I don't care?
Folding at the crucial point
Backing off when you could almost taste it
Close yet so far away
Now wondering what has slowed your pace
Its taking all you know that you feel
fuck it all I'm starting over
These walls were meant to break
These days wont hesitate
Like I don't care?
This is the breaking point
We're like water and oil
Somethings just weren't meant to mix
Keep buried in the soil
Dream as if you'll live forever
live as if you'll die today
If these are my last words
Let them be seize the day
Not time to freeze, not another word
Not another chance, no other day
Deep down inside you hear the screams
Can barley breathe and suffocate
Now taking it for what its worth
Your hesitation leaves no patience
No time to freeze, not another word
No other chance
Here today
It's time to seize the day

Sirens

Sirens in the streets under pressure, woah! [x8]

Take a step outside of my front door
It's about 110
And once again my shoes become concrete

Everybody says "now J, it's just a headtrip
Everything is alright."
But don't you know that I know something I must say
And it's on through the night
and I know deep inside
that something evil stands in the way
Sing it all through the night
Through these hot summer streets
And take no for an answer?
no I'll never walk away

Sirens in the streets under pressure, woah! [x4]

Over the airwaves
Through the static
from the top of the tower
Sirens echo out across the land
throughout the world a ruckus forms down
through the backalley streets
let's break the silence
sirens sound as we stand
And it's on through the night
through these hot summer streets
on and on and nothing stands in the way
Sing it all through the night
Through these hot summer streets
and not for no good reason
it's for something we must say

Sirens in the streets under pressure, woah! [x4]

Sirens in the streets...
Sirens in the streets...
Sirens in the streets...
And they're coming for you!
Under pressure

Sirens in the streets under pressure, woah! [x8]
Sirens

12:34

Still pending
And wishing now on every star in the sky
That everything would be alright
Falling down to your knees
With promises that you'd intended to keep
What good are the words we speak
Perhaps some other time when everything's in place
When all the stars align reveling all the answers that we seek
That place where violence will not fix everything
Does it fix anything?can you tell me?
What you waiting for?
Sinking in the sand a revelation that you had
So long it goes, away now clouded by the smoke
That place were happiness and broken dreams align
And become the life that you seek
It was all that you needed
Perched in the corner with your hand on your ears
To stop the dribbling of words
That keep on pouring out in fear
Finding yourself at the end of the race
Or merely falling behind
Can you tell me?
What you waiting for?

Memory Lane

Restless days, sleepless nights
Our own world
Future pipe-dreams of making it out alive
Crank up the music,live the lyrics cuz it feels so right
Roll up to the party to get it started
We'd all lose control
40 oz. of Mickey's and a Hornet
Passed out by the bowl
Picked up where we left off the night before
From show to show
Giving just once chance you know we'd take it and we'd lose control
Let's take a walk down memory lane
Let's talk a ride and try to see where we've all been
Its been so long and everything's changed
Here's to the days, let's take em' back and live again
Band kids, skaters, punks, stoners, mods, and skins
Out by the flagpole, smokers lot, tying up your friends again
Skipping class, living fast, dying just to live
There's nothing that could stop us we we're
Dying just to live through these
Sleepless days, restless nights
Our own world
Future pipe-dreams of making it out alive
Crank up the music and watch it roll as we'd all lose control

Drunken Sailor

What do you do with a drunken sailor early in the morning?
Woah! Ho!
Up she rises!
We've been on the deck tippin' 'em back since morning
Take another down another drop take warning
Take another down and over board we're drowning
Early in the morning
My crew is full of whiskey
You'll find em' at the show
Bottle, maybe ten, and away we go
This ship docks in Mexico
Early in the morning

Broken Dreams

You lose, but does that mean you don't try?
Does everything just fall apart and leave you
Stranded standing on the side?
Now questioning whats right in front of your eyes
A chance to make a choice to try and change your life
You say it won't be alright
That everything is a waste
I can't believe my eyes
Just tell me what to say

If I could change the past I never would
Some call them mistakes, I call them lessons learned
Like the thorn that's in my side
And where can I turn?
These feelings are so real
To take away what may have been
And start to really feel
I've carried on too long
Just tell me what's gone wrong
To face the day this time I've got to make it right
With nothing to lose
Now take away the veil that's been covering your eyes
Just tell me what to say

So can you tell me what's left
When everything you've cared for carries on
When broken dreams are built to make you strong
When the memories of yesterday fall through
These broken dreams are going to help you pull on through
When everything you've cared for carries on
When broken dreams are built to make you strong
When the memories of yesterday fall through
These broken dreams pick up the pieces that are you

So can you tell me what's left
When everything you've cared for carries on
When broken dreams are built to make you strong
When the memories of yesterday fall through
These broken dreams are built to help you, through
When everything you've cared for carries on
When broken dreams are built to make you strong
When the memories of yesterday fall through
These broken dreams pick up the pieces that are you

Break Free

In times of war,peace please
In times of hunger, feeding
We try and take it slow and easy
I guess that's how it goes
Break free....
Break free!
Worries stay away from me
In times of pain, healing
In times of suffering, giving
In times of war, peace pleas
Before tomorrow will never be
These are the days that we live in
