With every breath I take
I'm forced to swallow pride with my mistakes
And I toe the line between honesty and regret
I'm forced to spend my time repressing what I wish I said
With every breath I take I'm forced to swallow pride with my mistakes
But here I stand, but here i stand
So tell me what it takes to be a man
Build a house in a bottle with your bare hands
Destroy the fabric of your home
The family divides and stands alone
Now I can't stand
Now I can't stand
Stand living in the shadow of my makers hand
With my hand to my heart
Even thou we're apart
With my hand to my heart
I swear you'll never leave me
I won't bow down to the men who've caused such injustice
I'ill arise in the eyes of those who have loved us
I will stay strong in the absence of danger
And rejoice in the fact that my fathers a stranger
A broken man in the mould of another
Resented his kids cause they resembled their mother
In trust we seek until the penance is paid
Until the eyes the loved turn to eyes of dismay
We are prisoners here we'll be till' we die
Til' we rot in the earth and wail our goodbyes
When I leave this place, I'll bear no regrets
Just a map a with an x, that leads to my chest
So tell me what it takes to be a man
I've lost my way, a broken man
In the eyes of dismay now I must stand
So tell me what it takes to be a man
I've lost my way, a broken man
In the eyes of dismay now I must stand
With every breath I take
I'm forced to swallow pride with my mistakes
I toe the line between honesty and regret
We are prisoners here, will be till' we die
Til' we rot in the earth, and wail our goodbyes
In the world I see
Its beauty doesn't comfort me
Knowing that I am lost
I lost my sense of self
I swear you'll never leave me
I swear you'll never leave
With my hand to my heart
Even though we are apart
I swear you'll never leave me

This is where it all begins
I feel the pressures sinking in
How did I get here
Where do I call home
They made me do it
They made me do it
I feel the pressure
I feel the pressure sinking in
How did I get here and where do I belong
I don't know where I'm going
But Im not looking back
Fearing the thought that a memory
Will make its way into my restless head
I just feel like I'm falling
Away from everything I knew
Falling far away from you
What's left inside
I find the truth
I find what's left in you
What's left inside, I find truth
I'm a prisoner by my own hands
And I
I just want you to know
I wish
I could find the words
And take back all the hurt
And never let you go
Take back every word
Never let you go
We'll be the voice of a new generation
This is the sound of unending frustration
But I will face myself now
This is where it all begins
I feel the pressures sinking in
How did I get here
Where do I call home
We'll be the voice of a new generation
This is the sound of unending frustration
What's left inside
I find truth
I am a prisoner
by my own hands
Where do I call home

Living (Til' Death)
04:05
|

So trust me enough to let me create
A space in your chest so I can hibernate
This winter holds no hope for my soul
So harbour my heart
Till' there's life in the soil
Is this what you call home
It's a house without you
You were my home
Since you've been gone
I feel alone
My heart lives with you
Coz I long to feel
I long to feel
Coz I long to feel
You said you'd never die
That even when your gone
You'll live on in my heart
But now that you've gone
It's like you were never here at all
And our hands formed a cup
and the shedded tears are filled with love
You said you didn't care for the other guys out there
It's you who makes me beautiful for it's your heart that I've shared
And I know that I've broken your heart
But I've been broken so long It was till death do us part
So now I live in the place where only fragments remain
That space in your chest where your heart was laid
When it was whole
There wasn't room for both of us
But now that it's gone
I've never felt so alone
So while I still occupy that vacant space
Piece by piece ill turn this cave
Back to our home where we lived in peace
Where the roof always flooded and the couch always creakes
Is this what you call home
It's a house without you
You were my home
Since you've been gone I feel alone
My heart lives with you

Raise The Dead
04:07
|

This is the only answer
Only one of us will walk away
We will raise the dead, we will raise the dead
We will raise the dead, we will raise the dead
I think I'm going under
I think I'm done with all the hurt
It's like a blinding curse
That has its hold on me
I'm scared they'll work this out
So paranoid I cant make a sound
So I will do all that I can
To bring you down
To stamp you out
It's a bitter sweet tragedy
It leaves a bad taste in my mouth
It's a bitter sweet tragedy
And I can't believe
This is what's becoming of me
I'm falling weak at the knees
These eyelids shield me from what I can't stand to see
We will raise the dead, we will raise the dead
We will raise the dead, we will raise the dead
We should have tore it down
But we stamped you out
Turn me back to lust
For she's the only one I've loved
Broken we stand together
Hopeful we'll fight forever
These words have cut so deep
and left me struggling to breath
Some people fear death so strongly they often forget to live
We all need a lighthouse to see through the darkness
We all need a reason to stay clean
So I'll take down this mirror from my living room wall
Coz without it I'm beautiful but within it I'm flawed
And i'll trace back my mind to when I was sixteen
And I wept for my shadow coz it got stuck with me
The world I see
Its beauty doesn't comfort me
Knowing that I'm lost
I lost my sense of self
But there is hope for us yet
As evolution races to its death
I will embrace this life
Until I draw my last breath

Show me truth
I can't go on reading others palms
Trying to get a grip on what this life means to me
I swear you'll see I won't be a slave to these insecurities
They won't determine me
Delve inside your mind
Realise it's not the only way to live
Don't be a slave t`o the way they control your every waking thought
And in my head I see through the mire
But in my heart I have dreamt again
We will never be alone
We are all brothers of a broken home
We'll never be alone, we'll never be alone
Cast off the shackles, get a grip
Realise it's not the only way to live
Live your life for yourself
And for your brothers
Have the heart to live
Can't you see that you have so much to give
Fuck
With every breath I take I'm moving in reverse
I've built walls that will never break or worse will never fall
I'm at a loss with my Inhibition
It's taken everything I've got
To turn these memories into moments I forgot
I'd rather live a lie than risk living with an empty chest
And making empty threats towards how unjust the world is
We will never be alone
We are all brothers of a broken home.
We'll never be alone, we'll never be alone.
Show me truth
I can't go on reading others palms
Trying to get a grip on what this life means to me
I swear you'll see I won't be a slave to these insecurities
They won't determine me
With every step I take
I've built walls that will never break
It's taken everything I've got
