Our problems today are laughable compared to history We'll always be known for what we're worth It's a broken age, in time And years from now will you take pride in our story I fear that one day our knowledge will indulge In the fruit of corruption We've been misguided by the forceful hand of man Hypnotized into a race without a cause They thrive on the insufficient Who are being fed lies but only seek the truth I will lead you to your peace of mind It was never meant to be chosen by the few that lead this world Our fate is our decision Are these the memories that we want to leave behind This is a legacy that we must stand for Maybe life didn't have to be this way Or maybe we're pretending Let's break the curse break the curse Before time runs out When we've all been dispensed will there be justice for our actions We stood together, as one we fall When the time has come and passed and we've all been forgiven We'll wait and wait for the sun to rise again Relinquish a world of defeat, the sun will rise again Are these the memories that we want to leave behind This is a legacy that we must stand for Maybe life didn't have to be this way Or maybe we're pretending Let's break the curse break the curse Before time runs out The darkest hour is over If you wish to be complete We are completely free of conspiracy Lets see through brighter eyes They thrive on the insufficient who are being fed lies But only seek the truth

Break Away 03:35
I hope these winding roads will repave their paths to our needs What is deserving? Is it the value of oneself? Or the knowledge between us? We have a right to receive And give through wisdom We are not alone in the struggle Our lives are faced with What will we choose to abandon With expansion comes sacrificial needs This is where we chose to live We will rebuild our shattered dreams Wearing broken hearts on our sleeves We will follow the path to better days So let us break away This path laid before us, has come with direction To a place where harm is no factor The motives and quality of life And how we face them will decide where you go from here We're not alone sometimes I forget What I truly am, a better man I can't be the one to repair what you've lost We will rebuild We will rebuild our shattered dreams Wearing broken hearts on our sleeves We will follow the path to better days So let us break away Ashes to ashes, the buildings burn We watch them fall with no remorse Ashes to ashes, the buildings burn The buildings burn This is a celebration of what it means to me To defeat the fears of the falling We all follow the path to better days Break away, break away

Aggro 03:34
Hardly even breathing; let the air release from my lungs I will lead the life I was after This will be the day I'm set free From my weakness I am the honest traitor And it defeated me but I'm in rapture You cannot see what I have weathered With or without you the story continues Now I stand higher than my demons I'm in a place where no lie, no distraction, And no fear will enter my mind These thoughts may wander, I am held captive no more Enhance the senses that we have and find our way Your life will expedite this, you are not alone I'm an entity mistaken for an image And there is more to me than meets the eye This will not be taken from Me again I'd rather die than to see through your eyes To find a brighter way leave it to your fate To guide you through What's destined for your life Should be determined by a sacrifice I will be the one to terminate you I will never feel grief for eternity You shall feel the power I grant myself this life I live in reason To find a brighter way leave it to your fate To guide you through What's destined for your life Should be determined by a sacrifice I cannot bear to be what you have become This time; bring on the test now I will conceal my world

Let's take control of all the things you think you know One day you'll realize what your life could have been Silence discontinues at the thought of anger Breaking free from the boundaries around me I've had enough of the pain and misfortune I don't even think you notice Or you just don't even care Grant me the power to relieve myself of this imposed misery I stand here in hopes of remorse on the entirety of those who have will When everything has cleared you'll know that you have found it Your own peace of mind Remove the suffering at any cost Nothing is worth more than me Bring me the strength to replenish a world I have built You don't know what you're missing Get in control before you fall into the great unknown Build your future from the past Learning from mistakes is what makes the lesson last I built this world for me, built it to call our own When nothing else is worth it come forth to me the battle shall be won When everything has cleared you'll know that you have found it Your own peace of mind protect it with pride This worlds been buried This worlds been tortured This is my last chapter, to bring to my grave I will not fail the ones who still love me today This is my last chapter, to bring to my grave, I will not fail The ones who love me today, until today Until today (until today) I will not fail the ones who love me today Painting the image we saw in our nightmares We will destroy our silence Here is your time reclaim what is yours

The hours and days that I've spent just to find the answers I have conquered all of my fears Disappointed in a worthless existence I now know the way to live To find true happiness You must start from scratch I will surely be loved Day by day lie after lie You will go too far Now nobody's there what's the easy way out Ignore the substance that hides your true emotions The illness continues but I'm not sick My story will be heard Keep your body graceful, to the mountain peaks we climb The view is distorted but I have overcome it all I can finally breathe again My mind lies dormant removing the source now I know that I have been here before So full of indecision I bare the mark of a man who has failed I now bare the mark of a man who knows I know the way to live life, now I can showing you the meaning If you will follow me It's not easier said than done You can have it if your heart glows You can feel it in your dreams The new feeling will rid the nightmares If you truly want to live follow the ones that make life worth living Accept your mistakes and dream to the fullest Ignore the substance that hides your true emotions The illness continues but I'm not sick My story will be heard Keep your body graceful, to the mountain peaks we climb The view is distorted but I have overcome it all I now have everything it only takes one step Lets show the world me at my best

We're told when we're young We can be anything And everything is gonna be just fine So we laugh and play Fulfilling our days with nothing but happiness As we grow more obstacles get in the way We must abide by the rules made up by the fools Who've stricken society Cause the farther you go the harder you fall Our instincts are quickly fading away We're captive but free supposedly I'm sure we've all thought to ourselves There's more to life I'm feeling the pressure from every direction This daily routine is skewing perception As I lay awake, I'm pestered by thoughts that consume my integrity We always expect the worst I am speaking these words cause you're not alone If you feel the same Make the change with me Cause the father you go the harder you fall Our instincts are quickly fading away We're captive but free, supposedly I'm sure we've all thought, I'm sure we've all thought The farther you go the harder you fall our instincts are quickly fading away We're captive but free, supposedly I'm sure we've all thought to our selves, there's more to life
