Salvation
Back on the chain until it breaks The same story, same mistakes Another toke, another dime Gone up in smoke, just one more time When will I ever learn? Light up my sorrow, watch it burn The higher I go, the bigger the fall The closer we get, the less I need you all I said it before and yet I stumbled again Will my head hit the floor or will I make amends Up in smoke, the same story Shame and glory A struggling man still in his prime Gone up in smoke, just one more time When will I ever learn? Light up my sorrow, watch it burn The higher I go, the bigger the fall The closer we get, the less I need you all I said it before and yet I stumbled again Will my head hit the floor or will I make amends But my heart says no, no, no That's it, I've had it I'm breaking the habit A bit late for a clean slate I need to relieve my stress, oh yes But my heart says, no, no, no Get back in the groove Before I lose my mind No mountain I can't move No mountain I can't climb I've got something to prove I'll withstand the heat No mountain I can't move Never accept defeat No mountain I can't move Never accept defeat (Out, cut it, out) I'll withstand the heat (Out, cut it, out) Never accept defeat Up in smoke The same story, blaze of glory Free my head from all this grime Gone up in smoke, just one more time When will I ever learn? Light up my sorrow, watch it burn The higher I go, the bigger the fall The closer we get, the less I need you all I said it before and yet I stumbled again Will my head hit the floor or will I make amends But my heart says no, no, no That's it, I've had it I'm breaking the habit A bit late for a clean slate I need to relieve my stress, oh yes But my heart says, no, no, no

I'm marching onward into the storm Black clouds, red skies A vision of my world's demise In every smile, a desperate cry Should I keep on or let hope die? When it rains it pours When it rains it pours A never ending self-reform I'm marching onward into the storm One life, one love gotta do it right Rise above, step into that light Just let it go and take flight Let it rain, let it wash away the pain Strength, I'll regain I'm marching onward into the storm Clenched fist, closed eyes The reaper marches in disguise A haunting voice inside my head That keeps on wishing I was dead When it rains it pours When it rains it pours A never ending self-reform I'm marching onward into the storm One life, one love gotta do it right Rise above, step into that light Just let it go and take flight Let it rain, let it wash away the pain Strength, I'll regain Back in control, I will never fold From cold soul to heart of gold! OTB Ups and downs, I slipped Lost my grip and I fell I fell down knee deep in hell Ups and downs, I picked myself up Always kept my head up Through the ups and downs, I'll head northbound Stand tall, stand your ground Through the ups and downs, I'll head northbound Stand tall, stand your ground Through the ups and downs, turn it around My thoughts are turning black Can't give in, can't hold back Struggling within, one more panic attack I will face my fears, there will be no tears This is my legacy! This is bravery! This is my legacy! This is bravery! This is my legacy! This is bravery!

Steps away from my goal On to the next level Keep it under control On to the next level Nver laying low, so many places to go Never fall behind We live for the grind Around the world Always ready to ride Just say the word, we'll be out on the roadside We walk through sand and snow We just go with the flow Here today Gone tomorrow My life is played to a different tempo Here today Gone tomorrow I'll pave the way, I will never follow Nothing can hold me down Slow me down I'm on a roll Keep it under control On to the next level It's in my blood It's in my soul Never laying low So many places to go Jumping from city to city C'est la belle vie We walk through sand and snow We just go with the flow Here today Gone tomorrow My life is played to a different tempo Here today Gone tomorrow I'll pave the way, I will never follow Steps away from my goal On to the next level Go with the flow World traveler A modern day rebel I'll push it further On to the next level Go with the flow We stand together We'll make it through the struggle I'll push it further On to the next level Around the world Always ready to ride Just say the word We'll be out on the roadside We walk through sand and snow We just go with the flow Here today Gone tomorrow My life is played to a different tempo Here today Gone tomorrow I'll pave the way, I will never follow Keep it under control On to the next level Never laying low So many places to go

Those were the teenage years Swimming laps at the pool Getting high, trading tapes, playing drums after school Then I hung up my skates Toured the united states Life in a van, on a plane, playing shows with the greats Go, go We can't live in the past Go, go But still we make it last Go, go We know what we stand for 1234 Remember back in the day It was all good We followed our own way But no one understood It was all fun and games We did our own thing against the grain Remember back in the day It was all good We followed our own way But no one understood It was all fun and games We did our own thing against the grain Those were the wonder years Finally got my degree Sipping drinks, dating chicks 2 year MVP But the I changed my ways Turned it upside down My turn to get played Felt like a fucking clown Remember back in the day It was all good We followed our own way But no one understood It was all fun and games We did our own thing against the grain Remember back in the day It was all good We followed our own way But no one understood It was all fun and games We did our own thing against the grain Where have you gone, my long lost friends? Where have you gone, my long lost friends? Back then we said that it would be til the end Where have you gone, my long lost friends? Remember back in the day It was all good We followed our own way But no one understood It was all fun and games We did our own thing against the grain Remember back in the day It was all good We followed our own way But no one understood It was all fun and games We did our own thing against the grain Where have you gone, my long lost friends? Back then we said that it would be til the end Where have you gone, my long lost friends?

Light up my soul So cold “Closed off” from what I’ve been told Slow down Eyes up on the crown Don’t blink, come around Think twice Or you may find yourself on thin ice Slow down Eyes up on the crown Don’t blink, come around Once found but now I’m lost Buried inside an eternal frost, so cold An all time low Hindering my plan The Ills of Modern Man An all time low Nowhere to go Nowhere to go but up from here Quit your complaining Just take it slow Go on, have no fear It’ll all be clear Nowhere to go but up, up, up Nowhere to go but upup, up, up Just take it slow Look up, just let it snow In vain Attempts to silence the pain Slow down Eyes up on the crown Don’t blink, come around From high hopes to heavy hearts Never tear apart Once found but now I’m lost Buried inside, an eternal frost, so cold An all time low Nowhere to go Nowhere to go but up from here Quit your complaining Just take it slow Go on, have no fear It’ll all be clear Nowhere to go but up, up, up Nowhere to go but up, up, up Just take it slow Let it snow Pull yourself together for good Pull yourself together and Never look back or down again Never again Light up my soul Nowhere to go but up from here Quit your complaining Just take it slow Go on, have no fear It’ll all be clear Nowhere to go but up, up, up Nowhere to go but up, up, up Just take it slow Look up, just let it snow I am winter, snow and ice No joy, no paradise I wasted my last chance Make way for the avalanche I am winter, cold as ice No joy, just sacrifice

C'est la vie Peu d'alliés, plusieurs ennemis L'amour me fuit, la mort me suit C'est la vie Tellement de cruauté Je refuse d'y contribuer C'est la vie J'observe tout en silence Notre monde m'inspire peu confiance À la vie, à la mort Je suis maître de mon sort Vies un jour à la fois Surtout fais preuve de sang-froid À la vie, à la mort Je suis maître de mon sort Ne baisse jamais les bras Prépare toi au combat C'est la vie J'aiguise mon instinct de survie L'humour me fuit, la peine me suit C'est la vie Tellement de méchanceté Je refuse d'être manipulé C'est la vie J'observe tout en silence Notre monde m'inspire peu confiance À la vie, à la mort Je suis maître de mon sort Vies un jour à la fois Surtout fais preuve de sang-froid À la vie, à la mort Je suis maître de mon sort Ne baisse jamais les bras Prépare toi au combat C'est la vie Marche droit devant Rien ne peut m'arrêter Le bien l'emporte sur l'anxiété Marche tout droit vers l'avant Jusqu'au soleil levant En avant, en avant Marche droit devant Face à toute oppression Angoisse et dépression En avant, en avant Marche droit devant Face à toute oppression; sans résiliation À la vie, à la mort Je suis maître de mon sort Vies un jour à la fois Surtout fais preuve de sang-froid À la vie, à la mort Je suis maître de mon sort Ne baisse jamais les bras Prépare toi au combat

My back is sore but I’m standing straight Better build my core; Better pull my weight My mind’s running but I’m standing still Despair is no match for my iron will My iron will Here we go Mind, body and soul Step it up, work towards that goal North Strong Not a slave to my physical flaws All I had I gave No time to quit or pause North Strong Not a flake Not a stick in the mud It’s either make or break Forever Young Blood It’s either make or break No matter what it takes It’s either do or die I’m going sky high My neck is weak but I’m staring straight Better reach my peak, step up to that plate My heart’s racing but I’m standing still Despair is no match for my iron will Blood, sweat and tears Keep it up, after all these years North Strong Not a flake Not a stick in the mud It’s either make or break Forever Young Blood It’s either make or break No matter what it takes It’s either do or die I’m going sky high Feel the noose tight around my neck Gasping for air, I’m a nervous wreck, hold on Feel the sting sliding down my spine I can barely sing, faulty by design My back is sore but I’m standing straight Better build my core, better pull my weight Flesh, blood and bones Rip it up, keep my head in the zone North Strong Not a flake Not a stick in the mud It’s either make or break Forever Young Blood It’s either make or break No matter what it takes It’s either do or die I’m going sky high Carry the weight Pick up the slack Don’t wait Stay ahead of the pack It’s either make or break No matter what it takes It’s either do or die I’m going sky high

Whats going on, where do we stand? I stayed up till dawn trying to understand So many questions left unanswered Should I move on or push this forward? And every day is the same, still the fire burns I see through smoke and flames Let's lay the new foundation to build upon Let's find the strength to carry on Heart of a lion, captured by few Grace of a feline, stunning and true Every day I’m feeling blue But every day I make it through It’s time to let go, to keep you near Try to wait for the smoke to clear Every day I’m feeling blue Don’t let me get over you Be sure to know what your stance is No second chances I’m done with romances Can’t lay a new foundation when trust is gone I’ll go my way, I’m moving on Heart of a lion, captured by few Grace of a feline, stunning and true Every day I’m feeling blue But every day I make it through It’s time to let go to keep you near Try to wait for the smoke to clear Every day I’m feeling blue Don’t let me get over you Brave the fire Brave the fire Burning bright, vision for the blind Out of sight, never out of mind Shedding light on what’s left behind Out of sight, never out of mind Heart of a lion, captured by few Grace of a feline, stunning and true Every day I’m feeling blue But every day I make it through It’s time to let go, to keep you near Try to wait for the smoke to clear Every day I’m feeling blue Fuck it, I’m over you Never thought I’d see the day Never thought I’d walk away Never thought this day would come I’ll turn the page, I’ll overcome
