Staying Clear

Staying clear is a choice I made
and your choices I won't make.
Not going down that road again.
A destructive path I won't walk.
Living and learning, not burning out.
Staying young, not dying out.
Finding comfort in other ideas.
A place where I can relate.
Quitting the race
and doing things in my own pace.
Because a lot more is lost than a lot more gained.
And in the end nothing had changed.
Empty as the bottle.
A hollow shell.
Can you break free?
Can you break the spell?
And in disarray led astray and lost in confusion.
Can you break free?

Bigger Picture

People are talking about individuality.
Still pointing fingers too blind to see
ignorance fill our minds.
It's in ourselves we find the biggest faults.
Take a good look at yourself.
Now who's to judge?
First impressions aren't the best impressions.
Make up your own mind, open your eyes.
Calling us pathetic for the way we live our lives.
I'm keeping out of your life so just stay out of mine.
People are talking about individuality.
Still pointing fingers too blind to see
ignorance fill our minds.
It's in ourselves we find the biggest faults.
Take a good look at yourself.
Now who's to judge?
First impressions aren't the best impressions.
Make up your own mind, open your eyes.
It's not about right and wrong.
It's not about weak or strong.
It's the bigger picture we all have to see
so we can live our lives peacefully.
We all have our differences, but in the long run we're all the same.

Our city, the place we hate to love.
The school were we used to skate
is still guarded by the janitor
we grew up to hate.
Our city: Dead end of every crossroad.
This is the place all our feelings flowed.
Where we were young and we never grew old.
This place is the biggest lie ever told.
The last stop of the night bus.
The people we don't trust.
The place that everyone forgot
and time has stopped.
The fear of leaving is no concern,
because in the end I know that I'll return.
Maura pride 'till I die.
Straight edge pride 2009.

Our Bonds
01:59
|

Through music our community lives on.
No matter who tells us what's right and what's wrong.
Look beyond our labels and what we choose to be.
Then we'll see friendship and unity.
Our bonds, more than words.
Our bonds runs deep.
Our bonds won't break.
You've had your say and we've seen you fade away.
Our bonds won't break.
Without each other, why even bother?
I stand my ground, you know that I'll reach out. And I know that you will too.

Into Nothing
01:07
|
|||
|
Reaching and reaching without goals.
Stuck at the bottom of a bottomless hole.
Following the guidelines drawn for you.
Living life in routines and I'm the fool?
I'm growing and growing.
Searching for something within.
You sit back and watch,
evolve into nothing.
So many choices so many ways to go,
but you refuse to change from what you know.
Dare to face new grounds, dare to explore.
Break the spell life is so much more.
I'm growing and growing.
Searching for something within.
You sit back and watch,
evolve into nothing.
Growing older every day.
Growing colder every day.
Growing older every day.
But I won't throw my life away.

Follow Through

I've seen what it's done to you and it has taken it's toll.
Can't you see that you no longer have control.
It started out casual, it grew to a habit.
Every time you say "I can break free", well those words spell addiction to me.
We're a burning flame
in this raging storm
of booze, drugs and alcohol.
We're a burning flame.
Every weekend you're back for more.
How many rounds before you hit the floor?
What is it I just don't get?
Spending a night to forever regret.
We're a burning flame
in this raging storm
of booze, drugs and alcohol.
We're a burning flame.
Now you talk about moderation.
That's what I call a bad motivation.
Because you have been there before.
And each time you fall you're right back in the mess that started it all.
