It's coming Coming back to a place that  Doesn't make sense, but we know that  We're just all covering it up so we don't have to show it (Show it) But if we If we know, why are we so afraid?  So afraid to show, show that we don't know Because sometimes we're just monsters thinking we know what we don't know Everything's out there, we're climbing up these walls Falling down the stairs laced with sweat and tears It's time to pick ourselves back up Show the world we're tough, I may never know Because something is out there waiting for you to find it And when you do, it may hit you oh so blindly Pick ourselves back up, show the world we're tough  Stop running on an engine of fear! But aren't we,  Aren't we all just monsters climbing To our destiny before we fall, Fall down the steps of the unknown?  And no day,  No day is promised anyway  I feel like we're still learning,  Learning to handle each day by day  And I wanna take it to the next level  Where it feels like they're all being judgmental  Just live your life and to hell with what they say What they say! Say! SAY!!! Everything's out there, we're climbing up these walls,  Falling down the stairs laced with sweat and tears,  It's time to pick ourselves back up, show the world we're tough Stop running on an engine of fear  Because something is out there waiting for you to find it And when you do, it may hit you oh so blindly  Pick ourselves back up, show the world we're tough  Stop running on an engine of fear!

It’s just unnatural so we keep it this way yeah, We tell the kids how to live each day, uhhuh But it’s things like this, That make it all amiss, We all want happiness, We just want happiness, Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah, yeahyeahyeah (x4) It’s just unnatural so we do it this way, Don’t let life dwindle each day by day, ‘Cause things like this, They make the mind all amiss, It makes us miss out on life’s little twists, uhhuh! You say you know what this is, I said I’ve had enough of this, That’s what I want… That’s what I want… You say you know what this is, I said I’ve had enough of this, That’s what I want, That’s what I want… It’s just the process that we put into play, yeah! We get a rise out of playing these little games, And I know you’re sick, You’re sick of all of this, How can you concentrate when your mind is such a mess? And all the king’s horses, And all the king’s men, They couldn’t put the beat back together again, They said it’s all wrong man, Your playing is flawed, Your timing is off, It’s all wrong man, You’re all wrong… You say you know what this is, I said I’ve had enough of this, That’s what I want… That’s what I want… You say you know what this is, I said I’ve had enough of this, That’s what I want, That’s what I want… It’s just the natural so we do it this way yeah, We throw a party to save the day, And we dance and laugh, It’s stuff like that, We all want happiness, We just want happiness… You say you know what this is, I said I’ve had enough of this, That’s what I want… That’s what I want… You say you know what this is, I said I’ve had enough of this, That’s what I want, That’s what I want…

I'm sick of people thinking things will always be the same  Who's this? What's that? And hey, man, here's where ya have to stand It's a little game we like to play to find each others place  Even though we all know we're sharing the exact same space So I'll take my silly organ sound and express my words Well, man, you can't do that, here's where you have to stand In line with a system that I never even agreed with Wondering everyday, why does it have to be like this? Woah! I can feel you put me in a direction, and I said no Woah! I can see you put me in a system and I said free Give me a reason why, (I can hide) Learning to realize, (The world is mine) Counting the days gone by, (I need some time) Just give me a reason why, (Cause I choose to realize!) They put us in little cubes and tell us how to do our jobs Saying that there's no more left for revolution But I'm sorry sir, I'm going to have to stand and disagree  Cause no matter what, you'll never ever ever ever get to me  I'll always have my light, my will, my creativity To shine bright upon you and all the world you see What would happen if we spent out time creating harmony  Instead of all the destructive, lost, calamity?  The clock is ticking away, what are you doing today? The clock is ticking away, what are you doing today? Give me a reason why, (I can hide) Learning to realize, (The world is mine) Counting the days gone by, (I need some time) Just give me a reason why, (Cause I choose to realize!) Give me a reason why Learning to realize (Learning to realize) Counting the days gone by Just give me a reason why (Just give me a reason why) Give me a reason why, (I can hide) Learning to realize, (The world is mine) Counting the days gone by, (I need some time) Just give me a reason why, (Cause I choose to realize!)

It's not dance music, it's a sound It's the way you move your body around with intentions There are problems that surround  There is harmful soil all over the ground It's not chemistry, it's a face  A face to displace the blame we place It's not what is lost, but what is found There's music to create, there's noise to make underground And when we all sing, we want you to hear us The sounds we all share, the feeing of cheer  That's why we're all living here, living here And when we all speak, we want you to notice  The things that we say, the feeling of fear  That's why we're all living here, living here I'm still trying to understand The way we move our bodies around, but it's a trap And I know this could be something beautiful though it's not quite free,  I'm at a loss for words  To floss this hollow hole in my sweet tooth out  I'll just keep on saying there is nothing wrong There is nothing wrong at all And when we all sing, we want you to hear us The sounds we all share, the feeing of cheer  That's why we're all living here, living here And when we all speak, we want you to notice  The things that we say, the feeling of fear  That's why we're all living here, living here Let the names go, let them all go down  Let us work towards a common ground  If the world's our platform to mean something new Then maybe we should think of what we can do (x5)

We told the people to listen to us, We gained inspiration through living with trust, But they wanted TV and to play with guns, So we made a world full of fear and lust, Now they’re all lost in faulty trust funds, But we told the people to listen to us… Listen to us… We told the nation, "Hey, you might go bust" But they never listened, it just left to rust, Out intuition could’ve been a solution, But we were told not to listen to it, So we’re lost in faulty trends, But they brought us TV and told us this is the end… Is this really the end? I often think it’s all insane, Seems like a joke but we’re to blame, The world is a really funny place, Full of beauty and unstable grace, But we can stop and start it with a choice, Use every minute to raise our voice, Do we care to learn the lost names, Or were they meant to fade away in vain? (x2) Stop/Start It We dance all around…

I can't look in, I can't look out I often wonder what we're shouting about What did she say? What did he do?  Why does it even really matter to you?  The lights get dim, the sight drops out Suspended in a total free fall What did he say, where did he go?  Trapped inside, but I still want you to be my friend! I can't break into your world of doubt The plastic wires tighten around my heart  They often say, your day's your day I guess these are the shouts we await  And I don't know what to say But I've got something to say to you Something to say to you… Trapped inside my head it's all a haze Can't believe I didn't say what I wanted to say Wander staring blankly in this maze They say it's good, I don't agree anyway! Trapped inside my head it's all a haze Can't believe I didn't say what I wanted to say  Did you see in the puddles of pouting rain  The world reflect and call out your name?  And I won't know what to say about this When I grow up, When I am young When I am gone, When I feel hung By a world trying to tell me what to do!  I'm taking it in, it's breaking me down The caustic pollutants in the way you sound When did it happen? When did you know?  One thing Alex before you go is that I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you,  Yes, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you,  Yes, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you,  Yes, I love you, I love, and they'll never take you anymore! Everybody knows, this is how it goes Because this is the day you gave the world your 21 Shout Salute  Don't feel bad, I know it's what you needed to do And we all support you on your journey anew Just remember us and we all love you,  Don't forget us and we won't forget you,  Because this is the day the world gave you it's 21 Shout Salute!

What if I told you that if you listened to me I could help set you free? Not with just a dream or something magical, But something that actually qualifies with your psyche… As long as you promise to take us to the top then I promise bombs won’t drop, (NO!) But if you have doubts then loosen your intentions ‘cause surely these things won’t pop… And I won’t fall no I won’t fall, Even when things seem to stop! Every time you thought you knew, aren’t ya glad ya did something new? (Aren’t ya glad?) And every time you toughed it out, aren’t ya glad to show us something new, (A particular kind of spectacle) And all these thoughts you thought you had do they recognize your own truth? (Do they recognize?!) Every time you feel a test, is it comin’ from me or you? Everything comes from me or you now, huh?! So let’s take it one step back, Break the country club’s back for doin’ things that they wouldn’t stop, (NOOOO!) Like tellin’ people they mattered more for a money tree that they couldn’t they couldn’t crop, (Yeah, YEAH!!) Are ya sick of all this shit can you too not believe it, well maybe that’s why these systems flop! Because if you believe it then that’s how it’s all perceived and, That’s why it feels like it’s all gonna drop… It’s all gonna drop right now… If I set you free, Would you listen to me, Have we been listening at all? ‘Cause all the things we see, They happen to you and me, ‘Cause of what is done by you and me… Oh I never knew the scariest part of you not being alive is that they tried to tell me that you were gone. And I said, “No, sir. I ain’t gonna sing that song or do that dance. It’s my life. I’m gonna live it the way I wanna live it. Not in your trance, but mine.” When someone tries to tell you how to live your life, you say, “NO! No, I’m just fine!” Every time you thought you knew, aren’t ya glad ya did something new? (Aren’t ya glad?) And every time you toughed it out, aren’t ya glad to show us something new, (A particular kind of spectacle) And all these thoughts you thought you had do they recognize your own truth? Every time you feel a test, is it comin’ from me or you? Is it coming from me or you?

So you say you wanna know it, but ya don't Because if ya did, you'd say it with your throat And so you wanna know, you wanna know and they wanna know for ya, yeah they do And so you wanna know, you wanna know, but do you know yourself?  And the cops come in and they go, they go, BANG!

I'll never know, I'll never know And when the children come in, and they come in quick Resistance, resist  They wanna extinguish the flame of a bitter existence So you wanna message that will tell ya to comply Cause you're sick of life always being in the public eye The right to live! We're right, resist! The right to live! We're right! RESIST! RESIST! RESIST! So you wanna know, you wanna know, you wanna know And they wanna know for ya, yeah they do And so you wanna know, you wanna know, you wanna know But do you know yourself like I do?  I said I can't!

Dear person in the from row, the one that I can't see anymore Would you come and talk to me if the issue was of peace?  Or would you run away from me, confused by all the ironic history?  I just need to feel, I just want to breathe Let's say say say all the things we mean Let's tell tell tell all the stories we see Let's make make make some new history Let's breathe it in and feel alive again You do this, you do that right now Just want to let it be, just want to let it be For all those times we thought we were so free  We were just trying to be, just wanna let it be If someone's looking, just let them stare you down You are the star of their eyes, even for a moment in time When you walk past, you give them something to think Turn that glimpse from a frown into a special link right now So what if we played it right? Set all our demons in a line And said what do you need? I just want to breathe Let's say say say all the things we mean Let's tell tell tell all the stories to be Let's make make make some new history Let's breathe it in and feel alive again You do this, you do that right now  Just wanna let it be, just wanna let it be  For all those times we thought we were so free We were just trying to be, just wanna let it be You do this, you do that right now  Just wanna let it be, just wanna let it be  We do this, we do that right now Just wanna let it be, just wanna let it be For all those time we fought to be free We were just trying to be, just wanna let it be We do this, we do that right now Just wanna let it be, just wanna let it be

You Matter 03:54
I’ve been waiting for your voice to get me out of this town And I’ve been walking, walking backwards, not knowing what it’s about… Yeah! But you’re a goddess, illuminating my senses a million times now Just take a look at the bigger white board in the castle of hell… She said! Takin’ a look at how far you’ve come, how far we’ve come, how far we’ve gone Take a look at how far we’ve come, how far…how far we’ve come! You should always know I will always love you Even if you follow Follow all those hollow Well I will love you anyway And I will know you anyway And I will love you anyway But you weren’t right and I wasn’t wrong when we said this is what it’s about I’ve got to do something, something new to change my world around… And it feels like it’s all closing in and I’ll never know what it means to fend For livin’ a life that’s a means to an end, I just know I need to leave it all to mend… Takin’ a look at how far you’ve come, how far we’ve come, how far we’ve gone Take a look at how far we’ve come, how far…how far we’ve come! No matter what’s gone, know I’ve been all in And when we sing it I want you to hear it loud! You should always know, I will always love you Even if you follow Follow all those hollow Well I will love you anyway And I will know you anyway And I will love you anyway! No matter where you are, no matter where you go I will always love you…

The mountains, they climb so high Into a sky that's burnt by our eyes That we use to stare at the world around us It surrounds us, consuming our minds We are the ties that we break, the ties that bind us  To a world we cheat and a world we take A world we create and a world we make for ourselves But I can't escape this place So I'll do my best to put a smile on every face  In a place that feels so far away So everyone We can sing a song To tell the world what's right instead of what is wrong What is wrong When everyone is all around me  I do my best to take things slowly  But pressure's hard to release in times like these So ya do your best to make the best of what is What is left to learn the most about life Life with these things, and life with those things My god, why is all this happening? It's a question that's left, when all is winding When all is wandering, when all is fleeting Doesn't it feel great to just be being?  So I took a look into the hourglass we  Thought we had and realized that nothing Nothing ever dies unless we're already dying on the inside So everyone We can sing a song To tell the world what's right instead of what is wrong What is wrong Everyone We can sing a song To tell the world what's right instead of what is wrong What is wrong
13.
I sit and think about our porcelain feet How they move and sway with an impeccable streak Across this place that we all call heaven It's a club we all want in that's dying for our attention But who knew such graces could be left undone?  Or such places could exist just for fun?  Do we really think it would get us out of a rut?  Or are we just thinking this happens when all is done?  I could get lost in this place Yeah, I could get lost in this place When I sit alone, I often wonder Think about the world and is this all a blunder?  I often wonder, when I sit alone,  Think about my life and is it all a blunder?  I often wonder, I often wonder  Think about the world and is it all a blunder?  I often wonder, I often wonder Is it all a blunder? I often wonder… (x2)

Greatnight! 08:44
What if I told you that anything could happen?  I never meant to lead you in any wrong direction But I know it's hard to believe So I insist we do our best to make believe Deep inside, you carry a facade You take it back, you take it back, you don't need to hide And don't be afraid of them, the fear's coming to an end The time it takes to shut the world up, it's time the fun begins  And don't look back again, we're climbing up these walls  With everything in place, it's time to take the fall  And don't be afraid this time, the fear's coming to an end  The time it takes to cut the world in half, it's time that this begins… They can't get in our way if we don't let them, they can't get in our way… (x6) So don't look back again, we're climbing up these walls With everything in place, it's time to take the fall And don't be afraid this time, the fear's coming to an end The time it takes to take the world apart, it's time the change begins… So promise this time you'll let yourself in You'll be your own friend and embrace where that begins So get to know this place, it's only what we make The time it takes to make the world yours, the journey's going to being… Cause they can't get in our way if we don't let them, they can't get in our way! (x6)  SO LET THE DEMONS OUT,  LET THE DEMONS OUT,  AND CRY TO THE WORLD,  THIS IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT,  HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
