Commodity

Spit in the face of everything that you tried to tell me and to stand for what they believe. And I know there comes a time where we need to justify if matter is more valuable than life itself. Where do we draw the line? We’re starved to feed the riches. Look what we’ve left for the young. Where do we draw the line? Disgrace is no commodity. What is left for the young? We can’t flee, we can’t run away. They will return, we have to stay. I will stand and fight for you, this is your life. We are strong in numbers. This is not goodbye. You hold your life in the palm of your own hand. We are strong in numbers, and I refuse to swallow lies or live my life on my knees. I will not fit a mold, I will reject all that I’m told. Life in my hands and I’m not letting go for anything short of death. Where do we draw the line? We’re starved to feed the riches. Look what we’ve left for the young. Where do we draw the line? Disgrace is no commodity. What is left for the young? We are strong in numbers. This is not goodbye. You hold your life in the palm of your own hand. Spit in their face. And I know there comes a time where we need to justify if matter is more valuable than life itself.

It's amazing how everything can change in the blink of an eye. A split second of what seemed like relief, only to bring on these moments of sadness and grief. Nothing stays the same. I don't know how to feel anymore. Everything happened just so fast. So mark my words that I hope this won’t last. I’m here, I’m strong, I see, believe. Don’t let this be what sets us apart. It's amazing how everything can change in the blink of an eye. Searching for something we felt was right. It's amazing how things change. Nothing ever stays the same. It's amazing how things change. Nothing was meant to stay the same. I don't know how to feel anymore. Everything happened just so fast. So mark my words that I hope this won’t last. I’m here, I’m strong, I see, believe. Don’t let this be what sets us apart.

Golden 02:57
This is the beginning of a new generation. This is the beginning for ourselves. We must be willing to give up who we are and who we've been, so we can become who we were meant to be. It doesn't mean we don't care. It doesn't mean we shut down. It doesn't mean we give up. It means we stop looking back into the past we cannot change. We need to make the most of ourselves. Remember to breathe and remind yourself that there's strength in letting go. This is the beginning of a new generation. This is the beginning for ourselves. It doesn't mean we don't care. It doesn't mean we shut down. It doesn't mean we give up. It means we stop looking back. I remember the days I was left feeling worthless, emptiness. Now I'm golden, I am golden. Set yourself free. Look into your heart, you have something inside. You have to let go and move on to the life that is waiting for you. There's a greater purpose for you. Set yourself free.

This is of course the beginning of something that we wanted, something that we needed, something that people call chasing the dream. But why can’t you make this your reality? I know that you want it, I know that you need it. Open up and see the world through different eyes. Just never mind it. You’re narrow-minded. You'll never bind me down. So nothing can stop the way you feel, or so that how it seems. But in your dreams I know that you are something greater. This is of course the beginning of something that I wanted, something that I needed, something that people call chasing the dream. But why can’t you make this your reality? I know that you want it, I know that you need it. Open up and see the world through different eyes. Bring forth your finest and I will turn it away for what my true passion brings. So nothing can stop the way you feel, or so that how it seems. But in your dreams I know that you are something greater. This is of course the beginning of something that I wanted, something that I needed, something that people call chasing the dream. But why can’t you make this your reality? Were you the one who told me that there was nothing greater than this? I told you that I’d become something greater, something greater than this.

You can take away all that was once my own, take away all that I've ever earned. At the end of this, I still have my self respect. At the end of this, I'll still have strength to spare to pick you up, and put you right back in your place. So when you call out my name, I'll have no choice but to point the blame, right back at you, it's coming right back to you. This was never my true intention. I've lost all control, I leant out my hand, and you pulled me in. You brought me down. I'll pick you up, and you will return to the person you once were. You will return to the person you once were. You can take away all that was once my own, take away all that I've ever earned. I was taken for granted. I was once the person you called for. This was never my true intention. I've lost all control, I leant out my hand, and you pulled me in. You brought me down. I'll pick you up, and you will become what you were meant to be. I will help you become what you were meant to be. I will help you return to the person you once were. You will return to the person you once were.

It's plain to see everything is a turning cycle, always searching for that picture, the picture perfect pattern. Because the grass is greener, it's always greener on the other side. Open your eyes, we're taking this one step at a time. Pick yourself up, get two feet on the ground. Pick yourself up, keep two feet on the ground. You lost it all, you waste away, the precious time, the time we had to start over. Welcome to your reality. Where does it stop? Where does the cycle begin again? This is not my way, this Is not my life. It's plain to see everything is a turning cycle, always searching for that picture, the picture perfect pattern. Because the grass is greener, it's always greener on the other side. Open your eyes, we're taking this one step at a time. I know that times get hard. I watch as life turns to black. I still stand beside you I've told you once, I've told you twice, I've told you a thousand times, I'm so done with everything you become.

Barricade 03:10
I am able, I am capable to make it through the day, facing decisions that I’ve made. And all the problems I’ve had along the way, have built a home, a barricade. And I have come to terms that you won’t always be where you said you would be, by my side. Now there are places between us that I dare to never see again, never to return, because I know that I have come so far. That I’ve become so much greater than you ever gave me credit for. Can you hear me? Can I say this more clearly? There's no turning back. I am able, I am capable to make it through the day, facing decisions that I’ve made. And all the problems I’ve had along the way, have built a home, a barricade. And I have come to terms that you won’t always be where you said you would be, by my side. And I know, I know that there's no turning back. You want to be a leader? You need an entourage? Can this be happening? I know you're never wrong. This whole game of glory, a sinking ship to storm, along with other lessons I know you’ll never learn. Can you hear me? Can I say this more clearly?

Relentless 03:45
I’ve found myself in this darkened place. I’ve got nothing in front of me, nothing inside of me, to keep my head help up high. Because I can’t bare my own thoughts, it’s only you inside my head. Brother, the things I’d give to have you at my fingertips. How can I pretend? How could I take you for granted? I can’t remember how to forget your face. It’s been years and it seems like yesterday. Your memories are relentless, giving me what I deserve. I swear I’m still picking up the pieces. You swore it wouldn’t end like this. I swear, I’ll become the better man. Someone to be proud of and call your own, to be the best for myself. So stay, and watch over me. You won’t want to miss one second. So stay, protect me. I swear I’m still picking up the pieces. You swore it wouldn’t end like this. I swear I would have done this differently. I swear, if only I had known. I swear.

This flawed foundation can be repaired. I’ll walk my last steps on solid ground. Rise together with your fellow man and bring forth brighter days to come. It’s too late to go back, I cannot retrace my footsteps. It’s too late to go back, I long to be where I once was. We must move on, progression of a kind. Closed eyes refuse to see forward, we will open their minds. We will never lose faith in what we believe. We will never stand down. The earth is crumbling beneath us, the skies are trembling overhead. This path was carved for us long ago, we are living in desperate times. As the oceans begin to boil, the setting sun is all we have we have left. We must move on, progression of a kind. Closed eyes refuse to see forward, we will open their minds. We will never lose faith in what we believe. We all harness the power within to change this world for ourselves This path was carved for us long ago, we are living in desperate times. As the sun sets, we come together as one.
