It's time Once we were lions They treat us with no respect Once we were lions

Breathe I grasp on with patience I’ll hold on My gracious heart beats on My gracious soul holds strong My gracious soul My gracious heart beats on, soul holds strong I praise the day my spoiled soul will take me home Will take me home These depths feel all too familiar And they force me back To the very beginning A time of obscurity, I’m so alone In devils lair, all on my own In devils lair, all by myself And they force me back All the love in my heart only weighs me down All the love in my heart only helps me drown All the love in my heart can get fucked Because they kiss like Judas, no trueness Don’t try to slow me down, my Judas I can’t settle to be just another no one No I’ve got ninety nine questions And no ghost on my shoulder telling me This is impossible, this is stupid Please get out of my way I don’t care if I’m careless I can’t remain voiceless My gracious has learnt from all the lessons that I’ve learnt I am on top of the world all by myself I’m on top of the world and I can’t look back at the friends That don’t mean shit and the bitch that never loved me They don’t mean shit I’m feeling twelve foot tall And I can’t look down I am on top of the world All by myself I’m still on top of the world In devils lair If you could only see it You would be so amazed I built an empire I built desire My gracious heart has learnt a cheap trick You people are deceivers You faggots make me sick

The shame The alcohol Consume their tarnished youth Fuck the free world Boredom is cured with a handful of pills Fuck the free world Fathers keep in touch with their daughters on Redtube Fuck the free world And all we do, all we do is laugh about it Mortified when did they grow so dumb Petrified by the ease They tarnish their nature With no second thought of self preservation For their future Crashed and burnt Before they took A second look When the fuck did they grow so dumb When the fuck But what are we supposed to do? All we do is laugh about it What are we supposed to do? All we do is laugh about it Ready or not, this is it bitches Show me what you got Who’s fucking laughing now? Who’s laughing now motherfuckers?

Looking back to the thought (to the thought) To think we called this home Fuck Looking back to the thought (to the thought) We call this home Come on Reminiscent bitter sweet memories I watched them dissipate (dissipate) Through my finger tips I felt so helpless Turn your back for it wouldn’t be the first time Your heart changes with season I’ll be fine on my own I wish forgetting was a little bit easier Your shadow looms on me Bide your time to make your mind While I quietly die The sky is bright But your shadow seems to darken my days While I quietly die The sweetest dream, turns into a nightmare A deep incision to my affliction Say it wasn’t real to make this easier Say it’s all just a fucking dream to make this easier This chapter comes to conclusion A brand new page, a brand new day For now I know, now I know I’m not coming home Fuck the memories That use to be the air that I breathe They're choking me Looking back in my head just makes me think fuck They're choking me They're choking me I’ll watch you fucking dissolve Today I shake your shadow I’ll watch you wither away to nothing I’ll watch you wither away, I watch you wither I’m never coming home, never coming home

We’d stay awake at night And we’d wait all year for the summer To warm our gracious souls We had nothing left to conquer Once we were lions and now we are broken I’ll be the martyr I’ll be the one to rise above My soul won’t rest until I’m dead I’ll be the harbinger I’ll be the one to tell you all We’re burning in this atmosphere We can’t let our pasts decide our future We are lions Just soaked in anguish We can’t afford to dawdle And say fuck we fucking tried Forget everything that we know We have grown so fond of this madness It’s time to say goodbye Cause all that we are here has slowly fallen Fallen to pieces Cause all that we are here has slowly fallen to pieces How long must it take to erase my mistake? Burning in the atmosphere of a world with no trust My trust is broken, with words unspoken, we are broken What the fuck are you looking at? I’d like to see you try and break me down C’mon and fucking break me down You can try if you want to But you can’t break me now After all we’ve grown fond of this madness Accustom to the pain But you can't break me But never broken again My soul won’t rest until I’m dead But never broken again Cause once we were lions All that we are here has slowly fallen to pieces

Welcome Solitude tails my direction Intentions with good will Welcome to my family Blood that runs dry In a flood of fucking woe Our scars only made us stronger We learnt our lesson While they danced like little kids Irrational, in this world you can’t have it all And so they cry like little kids Screaming, the world is just not enough The world is just not enough Irrational, in this world you can’t have it all The world is just not enough Trade in your heart for one less hollow Find a place where greed doesn’t follow Where greed doesn’t follow Welcome to my family Stand in line pig to the slaughter They see nothing Fallen to the feet of the martyr They see nothing

Sunrise Wake up to a revolution A reality where apathy isn’t sold by the gallon Wake them up They are senseless, disposable, defenseless They whisper in my ear Every word is insincere This city lives in the shade When faced with adversity They spit you out Left to drain And I’m sick of this city They spit you out, so spit me out And I’m sick of this city So spit me out When things get rough you can’t just give up How can they just give up? When times get tough you can’t just walk away How can they walk away? I don’t want to be the one to teach them how to live Integrity seems obsolete So maybe, maybe I have to I won’t rest until they learn I will not rest until they learn They’re not alone An obstacle is not a brick wall Being young ain’t four fucks every weekend Good things come to those who endure Don’t waste the dream I’ve got a fifty dollar bill that says I ain’t gonna sleep tonight In a daze they lose interest So easy giving up once more When we have just begun Don’t tell me they don’t feel that something is missing Don’t tell me they don’t feel that something is missing I don’t want to be the one Maybe I don’t have to So let them sleep with their regrets Sunsets

Futile guardian I always stood by your side Basis of consistence Exiled from your kingdom If I had one wish I wish I wouldn’t hear a sound As I burn this to the ground Wealth and hand sewn robes to keep your skin warm Whilst I frost my breath in your absence Don’t tell me to change when all you do is change A masterpiece in your hands You pour it down the drain This blizzard won’t break me Don’t you forget Don't you forget I am invincible Gather round to watch me drown The tide will never take me (take me) Comforting the thought that I may fritter away Don’t you forget (don't you forget) I’m unbreakable Right now’s as pleasant as it’ll ever be For the storm brings absence Even your shadow gets lost in the dark A gasping moment, take a picture And fucking frame it Crawl as your kingdom fritters away I am unbreakable Moan as your kingdom fritters away I am invincible

Thinking about all the things I would have said Is suffocating (suffocating) But I’ll savor in the moments we shared (we shared) For the mean time, not the first time Let us rewind the clock to the days we spent just wasting Oh god, you feel so alive Let us rewind the clock to the days we spent just wasting In our hearts you live on Always like an angel Looking over me, I feel your head rest on my shoulder On and on On and on On and on and on and on Always like an angel And I cannot move on, these days are not the same without you On and on On and on On and on and on an don And things are not so fine; I seem to lose my way without you The images I’ve made are slowly fading away And things are not so fine; I seem to lose my way without you On my own I feel your head rest on my shoulder I’ll hold on I am on my knees And if I make it out alive You’ll be there beside me With all the confidence in my heart I never will let you go With all the confidence in my heart You will live on Pick me up from all of my heartache I never will let you go I know with every step I take You’ll be right there beside me

Check it Here I am Existing only in my own reflection Reflecting doubt Black and white images of the man I once was I’ve become one with the fabrication Resenting everything, so I dwell in imagination This is far from what I hoped for There must be so much more, there must be And I imagine That this place will be consumed by the sea If I’d just believe If I’d just believe We live in my town We have a view of the city An awesome movie rented for every night I’ll spend her Every day will be better than the last But this is make belief It’s all just make belief I slam the door; tonight I’ll grind my jaw This ain’t the motherfucking Jersey Shore Welcome to the real world, stay alive one-o-one Give up the ghost (give up the ghost, give up the ghost) Still I remember what it was like in Atlantis More than my heart could bare (my heart could bare) I lost my heart in Atlantis Somewhere Where are my angels when I need them? Where are my angels when I need them? Where are my angels when I need them?

Finally I am here Back to square one I am finally Back to square one (back) Wrong footed again in the lions den I quit chasing my shadow Wrong footed again in the lions den Sinking in the shallow Forfeit, these foolish notions Tell them vultures I am not fucking dead I have finally overcome I am invincible I look around I’m in a den A den with lions A den with lions Fuck You have been misplaced, betrayed I am finally back to square one I have overcome I feel this complication has damaged my reputation These days are not as bright as I remembered them to be These days have been darkened for the both of us Do your best to prove me wrong Moving on How the fuck did I get so weak Remember how it use to be Summon Shenron and wish for him to take me back To the day, we were lions Battles I’ve overcome have slowly been undone And if you can tell me This is my destiny Then fuck it Feed me to the pigs I quit

We’re all just pissed off sons of bitches With the wrong attitude, spitting and tripping Listen kids we’ve got a lot to learn Listen up, listen Redeem the wealth of your creation Rediscover inspiration Redeem the wealth of your creation And rediscover hope And rediscover The party's just begun A rediscovered confidence To let nothing deflate me Owing all to a single precept An old man once told me Have fun while we’re still young Now letting go of everything I despised To sweeten the bitterness The thoughts when I realized Have fun while we’re still young And maybe only on the inside As our ageing skin conceals the boy within But it doesn’t matter unless you make it matter This life is what you make it For the day will come Judgment day will come I will return triumphant Judgment day will come We will return triumphant You keep acting the part, just be yourself for fuck sake Recognize there’s no better time to let it go Making holes with a dagger to my chest To drain the emptiness The feeling when I realized Have fun while we’re still young Forever on the inside Time will never age us For we are young Forever on the inside Until judgment day comes We will return triumphant

I’m coming home I know what I want now, I’m coming home These depths feel all too familiar I know what I want now, I’m coming home These dark clouds seem to follow me And do you think that it is worth it? I think I'll take the long way home I think I'll take the long way home These depths seem to swallow me I can’t forget the thought, I can’t forget I can’t forget the thought I think I'll take the long way home These dark clouds seem to follow me I can’t forget the thought, I can’t forget I can’t forget the thought I think I'll take the long way Home is where you make it You must believe it I'm coming home I'm coming home
