Track Name: Violence: Everything I see are shades of grey
No more red, white and blue
I’ve always felt safe here
But they feed off of our fear
Always growing, never knowing
Why we keep going to die
Always growing, never knowing
They don’t even hide
What are they marching for
Just to get some more in your stores
The world can still get by
Without all these soldiers
Flexing our strength and warping a culture
Always growing, never knowing why
Always growing, never knowing
Why we keep going to die
They raise their guns
And they turn and run
Why are they there
When we’re over here
Let’s change the gear
Cause there’s problems right here
Put them away, we’re not here to stay
Track Name: Faith: I understand faith but I have no faith
In anyone but me
We’re all just put here
We all just die here
And that’s one thing I’m sure
But I can smile, feel no denial
Without you watching over me
And feel emotion
And real devotion
To the people that I see
I understand faith but I have no faith
In anyone but me
And I don’t get what it is you’re looking for
This is life, why does there have to be something more
But I can smile, feel no denial
Without you watching over me
And feel emotion, and real devotion
To the people that I see
If you were the one who left me here
To live my life so full of fear
Then everything I’ve ever done
Wasn’t for me, but for no one
Everything I’ve ever done
Wasn’t for me
For no one
Track Name: Pride: We were raised
With a certain set of beliefs
That we we're the best
That we we're right
But at some point you have to wake up
No we’re not alright
Why are our heads held high
When our culture’s so ready to die
And all we do is move away
From where we were
In our best days
We weren’t lost in our selfish ways
No, we’re not alright
Wake up, we’re not alright
Why are our heads held high
Why, when we still send our kids off to die
When there’s no one real for us to look up to
That’s why we fucking hate you
I was deceived
We’re not right
But I’m not wrong
Track Name: Ego: This burden that we feel
Knowing we can’t be perfect for everyone
Knowing that feeling inside of you
Is just your ego clawing it’s way through
This is what we needed
This is what I wanted
I hate this stupid flaw in all of us
And sometimes time can’t move fast enough
Why can’t I get by
Knowing that feeling inside of you
Is just your ego clawing it’s way through
This is what we needed
This is what I wanted
And as I turn away
I’m not sure what to say
Except maybe one day
You’ll find your way
