Facing every morning sun With a sense of resentment And a lack of admiration For everything and everyone That I've come in contact with I can't hold back the truth When this has become the extent of my existence I witnessed a change with my own eyes I did nothing to stop this

The best news I've ever heard Was when you said you wouldn't leave Because I knew the distance would tear us apart And all the things you said Wouldn't mean a thing if you weren't here with me So as you turn your back to me I just want to let you know That I could never do this to you This is where our roads divide, and they split in two And I will never see you again But I respect your choice The familiar pain sets in again And I won't let this drag me down It's things like this that made me who I am today It's thing like this that helped to shape, make me who I am today It's every hardship that I've faced And I've lost hope in myself But I just want you to know: As every day goes by I must accept that you're now living your own life

We are now rooted in the ground That we were born into And this is where we come from Where we will remain This place may have its flaws But I can always call the pavement We now stand upon "my home" This is our home Through the areas of wealth and poverty I appreciate every inch of our city And I don't know if I could ever leave Our sanctuary Our stomping ground Our territory Our fucking home Love where you come from This is your home This is my home

Our city lies in ruins And our livelihood is next Left to build from decay With the whole world crashing down around you How the fuck could we let this happen? And no answers come to mind We're caught in a steady decline And there's no deterrent The aftermath could bring you to your knees Guilt is starting to dissolve you from the inside out And you're grasping at your last chance for salvation And it's on its way This is our own world And its up to us to decide our own fate And even though change may be unavoidable It's up to us to emerge From the bottom of the barrel As a whole, we can impact mankind for the better And the earlier we realize this The sooner we can reassemble our lives Now is our chance to rebuild

Others may tell you how to live But I can assure you that your life Is in your own hands And you can mold it into any shape you want Though you must have faith While you're searching for the answers That we're all longing for And we are left to salvage for our aspirations Be what you want to be And leave the rest behind you Anyone can follow blindly But it's up to you to rise above the masses And chase your dreams Because in the end They will become reality You cannot lead us from our path As we are weighed down by our ambitions And all the force in the world Cannot make us falter We are all prophets in the making And our legacies are beginning to unfold I will not go to my grave Yearning for what could have been I know exactly who I am And I know exactly what I will become

We are quickly being led to an early grave By the ones that were meant to nourish our growth And though their influence is the tallest barrier That we are left to face We can overcome this It's us against this fucking world But we are armed with hope and heart And we're unbreakable This is an uprising And we will be the ones left standing And if you answer this calling I promise you that we will remain true to ourselves And we can put this all behind us Confide in us, and we'll confide in you And together we are unstoppable We're taking back what belongs to us We need to find a different way A way to stay true to who we are And a way to overcome this

To quote from Whitman: "O me! O life! Of the questions of these recurring Of the endless trains of the faithless Of cities fill'd with the foolish What good amid these, O me, O life? Answer That you are here That life exists, and identity That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse." What will your verse be?

When you're reduced to living everyday Carrying the weight of your conscience on your back Just know it can be lifted And you can be victorious In this war against yourself You've got the strength inside To turn this all around And I can only speak from experience The rest is up to you Whether you're stuck in the past Or lost in the future This is for you I'm standing my ground Living for right now And I'm finally free Only anchors can keep me from moving forward

The sense of insignificance It winds itself around your chest Surrender and submission have now become What it takes to be alive Just keep in mind This happens to the best of us at times And it's not going to get any easier You walk this road of desolation Only to end up on your knees But just know that you are not alone The only things holding you back Are the lies that you refuse to challenge You're drowning in a sea of self destruction And your lungs are starting to cave in And when you feel that your words Can only be heard in echoes They are more deafening than ever before Every day we face helps build the strength That makes us who we are I've lived through this And so can you Suffering in silence has become Something thrown to our past And though the friendships that we've built Are constantly falling apart The remaining few retain the most heart And I'll give you my heart

Everything we are today Stems from the marrow of our back bone This is dedication at its finest And I owe everything that I have to you Our driving force Causing us to constantly better ourselves We are redefining the meaning of contentment And though the odds are against us We all know that we will prevail We will prevail Accepting all the negativity and turning it into fuel For the flames that we keep burning on the inside Burning from the inside-out Consider this a thank you For helping us to mold our future selves And your words alone are not enough to destroy our commitment This is where I belong This where we belong This is where I belong This where we belong This is where I belong This where we belong This is where I belong This where we belong This is where I belong This where we belong This is where I belong This where we belong This is where I belong This where we belong This is where I belong This where-

Our once-solid path is starting to diverge And the space between us growing ever greater Makes it hard for me to breathe But no amount of distance can change my feelings for you How can it be that a day I've always dreamed of Could also be a day that I wished would never come? And we are slowly becoming two very different people But I won't give you up without a fight This is everything I've ever meant to say to you You could be thousands of miles away But I'll still see you when I close my eyes We've come too far to let our story end like this And we've come too far to let what we've built fall apart We both know this is love I will never forget you
