Stuck in a world that doesn't make sense You search for the truth but the lies never end Pushed past the point of "forgive and forget" You can run for your life or live in regret Search for more Stuck in a rut and losing control You feel your grip loosen and try grab a hold Misguided and lied to without a light Now is the time to search for what's right Search for more When all the efforts you have made fall through There's only one thing you can do Set your sights on a brand new day and break through Search for more

What we built was so quickly torn down I watched it grow and then fall to the ground A bond of trust became a mess of betrayal We talked of friendship but our words failed I can't stand and watch another friendship fall apart So I'm telling you these words are true These words are from the bottom of my heart Reaching through to grab a hold but all I felt was a bitter cold Reaching through to let you know I'm reaching Reaching If we search then we will find A friendship of a stronger kind We have to learn to believe There's so much more that we can be If we search then we will find A friendship of a stronger kind We have to learn to believe So we can watch this grow We have to learn to believe in each other I watched this file now I want to watch it grow

Think Deep 01:40
I feel the pain of uncertainty It surrounds and silences me My minds consumed with endless thoughts I saw the traps but still got caught Can we choose a better path to take? Live through our words and learn from our mistakes? I've seen good times and I've seen the bad I can't decide where I want to be I'm trapped looking back I feel the pain of uncertainty It surrounds and strangles me Feeling like I've lost control Can I find the strength to rebuild my soul? My decisions brought me here Now I can't see things clear Is my position due to my mistakes There's so much pressure Which path do I take? The walls are closing in and I don't know where to begin Do I even know myself or am I living blind in a hollow shell? Think deep Is there a point of no return Will I cross another bridge just to watch it burn? I have so many choices to make The pressure builds How long until it breaks?

The risks that you take and the rules that you break just to stay free The path that you walk to fight the lies that they talk It can be so hard to see Have they got control of your mind and your soul Your identity It's the risk that you take that will set you free Shut down your mind and join the line just to kill some time Just trying to get by so you choose to comply A life so undefined So you live blind with an absent mind and hide away For fear of standing alone I can't follow a beaten path when fresh tracks take me to higher ground I can't choose a path of abuse to try to escape a world of discontent I want to run so far from here Far from thoughts pushed into my mind Can we escape? I don't want to live a wasted life running from myself into others arms I don't want to chase a broken dream drawn into a lie by someone else's charms I'm swimming upstream I'm swimming upstream And I'm getting nowhere fast I'm breaking away from the beaten path I have to reclaim my past I want to run so far from here So far from thoughts pushed into my mind Can we escape?

Take Control 02:24
I see it in your face The hurt and pain that you're going through Are you trying to escape through all the stupid shit that you do There's a reason why you're standing here Maybe you're not at fault Maybe you're not to blame But if you're just going to sit in your self defeat than you'll wake up tomorrow and it will be the same It's time to take control Set your sights on some positive goals It's time to take control You'll lose your mind and you'll lose your soul It's time to take control I can't tell you how you should live It's time to take control But I can see that you have so much more to give There's so much more that you can do The bottom of the bottle won't bring you peace Can't you see that it's a waste You cloud your mind to try to put it at ease Only you can make that change That will bring a light through all the dark Only you can make that change But it'll take some strength and a lot of heart It's time to take control Set your sights on some positive goals It's time to take control You'll lose your mind and you'll lose your soul It's time to take control I can't tell you how you should live It's time to take control But I can see that you have so much more to give Yeah I know that it's hard There's a lot of shit for you to face But you've got to take control If you want to move ahead and make that change

I look in your eyes and I see nothing but fear You want me to believe that your words are clear Line after line you follow their lead It gets you some status Is that all you need? You want me to feel that your words are truth It's time to get real They have no use You try so hard to stand out from the crowd You lose yourself while you're screaming so loud Let's get it clear Set it straight There is no message in the words you communicate I want to know how you can stand so proud for the words you scream so loud It's a matter of time before they change and your beliefs get rearranged So don't tell me what's right when you won't swim against the tide Those words were put into your mouth and then you screamed them like they were from deep inside I won't waste another breath Right here right now It's time to set it straight I look in your eyes and I see nothing but fear You want me to believe that your words are clear Time after time you switch and you change Don't try to tell me who has stayed the same I know your kind It's getting old When the seasons change a new story is told Don't tell me who has stayed the same I won't fall for your words just to watch you change
