Foundation
This way of life is the foundation
Empowering my mind
Giving me the strength to stand on
My own to feet and say
Finding a new place to call home
Doesn't mean staying close to the start
I gotta keep, gotta keep on moving
Can't look back everybody's looking
I'll hold them close to my heart
At times like these I feel
So separated, from the herd
I've heard what they say
But it doesn't matter anyway
I will find a new place to call home
And I wont stay close to the start
I gotta keep, gotta keep on moving
Can't look back everybody's looking
I'll hold them close to my heart
I know that not everything comes easy
I believe, there is always a price to pay
I still see my
Best as enough, to see me through all this
Hardship frustration and pain
And bring me back alive
I patiently await the day
That you see me
Living my dreams
And wish that you
Stood by me

Ilogical Choices
Why can't you understand
These ties were meant to be broken
And I cant take these days much longer
It's not that fitting of me
I can't ignore these situations constantly
Misconstrued by your sick and fucked
Point of view
Not everyone can be your puppet
Not everything is going to turn out
Just exactly
How you planned it all inside your head
Maybe I wasn't meant to be by your side
But you wont change me like these ever changing tides
I could be right where, right where you need me
Not in love but in spite
And its all thanks to you
Congratulations
You aren't the winner
But what you've done still deserves applause
My ears are bleeding because of
Hearing your screaming its eating me alive
Your guidelines aren't mine to follow
So please don't swallow your own lies
Early warnings got to my ears to slow
Maybe I wasn't meant to be by your side
But you wont change me like these ever changing tides
I could be right where, right where you need me
Not in love but in spite
Go, get away, your company isn't wanted here(x2)
Remember
Nothing you say or do can change me
I am the one making this happen (x2)
Maybe I wasn't meant to be by your side
But you wont change me like these ever changing tides
I could be right where, right where you need me
Not in love but in spite
I guess this, is just the way it goes
For you, just give up the fight
Anything you say or do
Wont change my mind

This Ones for Opie
The life I built with all of you
No longer has anything left to offer
What was I running from for so long
I will live my life proper
I thought you were the ones I could call friends
Now you barely try, to keep up appearances
The further the distance between
The less you all remember
But I will never forget
Your memories I will always treasure
Why does it
Always seem like time is suffocating
The oxygen that I need
To keep the fire burning
I swear I'm wasting away
I'm wasting these days
Too focused on what keeps me down
And I'll always try
To keep my head up
I don't know if I've been doing fine
Noone taught me life would
Be so tough
Why does it
Always seem like time is suffocating
The oxygen that I need
To keep the fire burning
I hope you understand
What I'm leaving behind
The ones who denied
My outstretched hands
Is it possible to change from everything we've learnt
Can we ever not rely on what we learnt at first
Should I bother showing you
Share what i've found as the truth
What will it take to
Get through to you
I'll always try to keep my head up
Am I doing fine? I don't know but,
Noone taught me
Life would be so tough
Why does it
Always seem like time is suffocating
The oxygen that I need
To keep the fire burning
I hope you understand
What I'm leaving behind
The ones who denied
My outstretched hands

Have I ever told you
Im sorry
That I'll no longer
Give up my self worth
Just to hear you calling out
my name, even if you scream and shout
This is how I get back my crown
I'm no better then you but I'm no worse
and before I'm gone let me tell you first
Your ego's been in the drivers seat
for too long
Go ahead say this is petty
I believe its quite sick honestly
How I went out of my way
Just to make sure you weren't out of reach
While you think your royalty
While you blindly believe
This is as good as it gets
I hope you see that you deserve it
I hope its unnerving
Take whats yours and ill take mine
lets go our separate ways this time
no need to look back
sifting through old memories, never breaks truth
No longer will I doubt myself
I am stronger, than I was before
Im so much stronger than I was before
While you think your royalty
While you blindly believe
This is as good as it gets
I hope you see that you deserve it
I hope its unnerving
Don't ever let them take you down
Live with both feet in the air
Never let yourself touch the ground

Ready and Willing
True friends don't run from the first sign of change
Way to kid, you've shown your true colors again
Don't get me wrong this is not a tale of the sadness
You caused me
Truth be told I'm a little pissed at the near three years worth
Of thievery
I wasn't one of your best
Was just someone simple
Someone kept neither here nor there
Your all about appearances
So a piece of your heart your unwilling, to share
Let it be known
That I am ready and willing
You are not just some ghost
The timing was slightly off
Words over exaggerated
Know now, the place I held for you
Will never be the same
The choice is yours
Make your move
You hold yourself in such high regard
Like you don't think you bleed the same as we do
Quit lying to yourself
And play your part
I truly believe there is no longer
Anything to say about me
Me and you
I won't hide the fact that everything you've told me means
Nothing anymore
Let it be known
That I am ready and willing
You are not just some ghost
The timing was slightly off
Words over exaggerated
Know now, the place I held for you
Will never be the same
Do your blacked out windows
make you feel safe
Cause they only make things darker
never stronger
(Follow my lead, and find your way)
Around what keeps you hidden
I can't be held down
For I see straight through the lies
I see you barely on top of your
sea of shame
One day it'll drown you
Drain it while you can

Desperation
Fuck everything, every bit of responsibility
Just give me one more night
Without this negativity
We don't want to, think about the day
Is there any way for me
To really feel free
I don't need second chances
This moments good enough for me
So everybody raise your glass for
This toast to what the nightlife brings our way
To all the good times we'll forget
Our inhibitions we choose to shed
You'd best believe me when I say
I could do this every day
I will have nothing to show for myself
Not even half the night worth of memories
Just broken glass where that 40 of jack
Used to be
My head will be hurting
And my mind destroyed
I've got a crazed look in my eyes
That says
Time to start again
So everybody raise your glass for
This toast to what the nightlife brings our way
To all the good times we'll forget
Our inhibitions we choose to shed
You'd best believe me when I say
I could do this every day
So everybody raise your glass for
This toast to what the nightlife brings our way
To all the good times we'll forget
Our inhibitions we choose to shed

Last Song
I try to make my dreams reality
Can't stop for nothing because this is
All I've got
These past five years
Im at my wits end
Time is running out
(Im giving it, one more shot)
This last chance I've got a plan
A one way ticket out of this
Frozen hell I've been burning in
For so long
It's never mattered how much time I dedicate
To achieve this pipe dream I've got no backup plan lets say
I'll leave it all behind
Just so I can find
My way
I won't let it consume my soul
This sick city won't take its toll on me
Because I'm fighting for a chance to see
Who I really am
I am greater than giants
Why cant you just believe in me
Im so certain about it
Can't you see it in my eyes
I don't need your worthless opinions
Decisions have been made
It's never mattered how much time I dedicate
To achieve this pipe dream I've got no backup plan lets say
I'll leave it all behind
Just so I can find
My way
You will never know what this means to me
This ain't no game goddamn this is me
It's time I prove my worth to you
It's never mattered how much time I dedicate
To achieve this pipe dream I've got no backup plan lets say
I'll leave it all behind
Just so I can find
My way

Everything was perfect until the bitter end
We fought it hard, we fought it all, we fought it all
Have yet to achieve so many things
so many challenges
we will have to overcome
we don't need anything
or anyone
besides ourselves
we'll do this all on our own
even though we stand alone
we will not lose sight of our goals
we will push through
so take whats yours and walk away
you never mattered anyway
and ill remember everyday
the way things were back then
we both know that
these things were too
good to stay the
same forever
so take whats yours and walk away
you never mattered anyway
and ill remember everyday
the way things were back then
its nothing personal but i feel like
your not really here
to bring out the best in me
so take whats yours and walk away
ill remember everyday
the way things were back then
we both know that
these things were too
good to stay the
same forever
so take whats yours and walk away
you never mattered anyway
and ill remember everyday
the way things were back then

Time Will Tell
I really can't believe
how you judged my character
as a human being
taking your own mistakes
shifting theblame on to me
when you try this again
you will see
the person you used to know
was left in the past
along with any chance of being sucked in by you
and your priceless act
overtime im reminded of the thief
you whole heartedly became
now admit it
your the one to blame
did you really think
i would just give up
everything
turn away from what i've built so far
since back then
time and time again you lured me
into a false sense of security
you used to hold the key
now you fill me with uncertainty
false existence of a life within
trying to save yourself through such sin
failed to protect your crumbling realm
how far you fall only time will tell
this is long awaited and well deserved
and these words will ring true from someone you once knew
they must be heard
what you reap is what you sow
my faith in you
i've none left to show
been held back for way to long
after this im done
this course of action
i never preferred
time and time again you lured me
into a false sense of security
you used to hold the key
now you fill me with uncertainty
what you reap is what you sow
my faith in you
i've none left to show
false existence of a life within
trying to save yourself through such sin
failed to protect your crumbling realm
how far you fall only time will tell
