Get What You Give

This is what I know about sacrifice; Meet me at the crossroads, let's go! This life is constant sacrifice I laid myself out for the world to see (to see!) This time, I'm going to get it right My past should be more than just a memory I said, that I would give anything, to live my life out and follow my dreams I didn't know what I would be facing That it would take this and everything from me In a world that won't stop On top of all that I've lost I'll give this and all that I've got So take your best shot! Now listen up I'm here to set the story straight So meet me at the crossroads, let's go!

We're so disconnected but not misdirected They think that we are nothing But I believe in something more You watch the clock wind down and let the days go by You justify the time you've spent But all you do is make the rent We'll be buried with our memories, you'll just be dead I'll live forever, you'll just die in vain No home, no bed, nowhere to hang my head At the end of the day I hear no words they say No home, no bed, nowhere to hang my head I don't care what they say, I made a choice for me We're so disconnected but not misdirected So quick in passing judgment like I don't belong We'll be buried with our memories, you'll just be dead I'll live forever, you'll just die in vain No home, no bed, nowhere to hang my head At the end of the day I hear no words they say No home, no bed, nowhere to hang my head I don't care what they say, I made the choice for me But this time, I stand for this There's no space between the lines I stand for this, I stand for this No compromise this time I stand for this, I stand for this

Grab ahold of me, I've got my arms up Pull me out from this darkness It's so hard for me to see light at the end of the tunnel If it's a war you came to see You will never see a waved white flag in front of me I can't end up dead, I won't be misled I'll keep singing this song inside my head A phoenix rise? Or your demise? Do I have to put your name on this grave? Or give you one more shot? This addiction came like a freight train You're coming off of the rails again It's hard for you to see the light at the end of the tunnel If it's a war you came to see You will never see a waved white flag in front of me I can't end up dead, I won't be misled I'll keep singing this song inside my head If it's a war you came to see You will never see a waved white flag in front of me I can't end up dead, I won't be misled I'll keep singing this song inside my head On a one way course set for destruction, full speed ahead The time has come for you to start things over Hold on, full speed ahead All my life I've been waiting for something that never came It never came But I'm still saying All my life I've been searching for something To break these chains To break these chains But I'll keep swinging All my life I've been waiting for something that never came It never came But I'm still saying All my life I've been searching for something To break these chains To break these chains But I'll keep swinging All my life I've been waiting for something that never came It never came But I'm still saying All my life I've been searching for something To break these chains To break these chains But I'll keep swinging All my life I've been waiting for something that never came It never came But I'm still saying All my life I've been searching for something To break these chains To break these chains I'll keep swinging

We look up to the sky, swear it never ends Walk down the road on any path we choose But then something changed, now days aren't the same I'm feeling so empty like part of me has been removed My youth is getting older Got left out in the bitter cold Now I put it on the back burner where it doesn't belong Where did I go wrong? Let me stop to ask the question "Will I ever get the chance to repeat?" (repeat) I feel this more and more everyday Take me back to when I used to believe Nothing could prepare you, but we try our best Failure upon failure, what happens next? Nothing's ever easy but life still goes on Don't stop push on before you become withdrawn I've become withdrawn My youth is getting older Got left out in the bitter cold Now I put it on the back burner where it doesn't belong Where did I go wrong? My innocence is gone Where did I go wrong? I feel it slipping away, from me I feel it slipping away Do you remember when we were free? I've stood up on that ledge, and I know what you see You're looking over the edge and wanting to leap I've written every word, expressed all my concerns You're losing that part of yourself, but it wasn't meant to be My youth is getting older Got left out in the bitter cold Now I put it on the back burner where it doesn't belong Where did I go wrong? My youth is getting older It got left out in the bitter cold Now I put it on the back burner where it doesn't belong (Where it doesn't belong) My innocence is gone

Sometimes we get so low Downsides are all we see Your world is swallowed whole And now you're all alone waiting for me I put my faith in the ones I trust to stick it out Who never tuck their tail and run That's what friendship's all about I'm sick of waiting for my life to come to me So I singing "I'm not waiting" You want to know how this all has come to be? Because I lean on the ones beside me Go and do what makes you happy That's what I'm saying I'm done waiting for my life to come to me So I'm headed into the great unknown I'm not going alone Cast aside left to fend for yourself your back is to the sun Repeat your words over again "I don't need anyone" In a world that wants nothing more than to break me down I can take on anything with my true friends around You could never hold me down I'm sick of waiting for my life to come to me So I singing "I'm not waiting" You want to know how this all has come to be? Because I lean on the ones beside me Go and do what makes you happy That's what I'm saying I'm done waiting for my life to come to me So I'm headed into the great unknown I put my faith in the tried and true It's just you and me with nothing to lose Keep those you trust right by your side Only the strong will survive I put my faith in the tried and true It's just you and me with nothing to lose I have the strong ones by my side It's what's keeping me alive

True dedication most just do not possess When push becomes shove, can you rise above the rest? Waves of words, they fall short and crash at my feet Such are the ways of the weak I'm not scared! It's all that I know Done nothing but travel without knowing where to go I've been digging up bones Remnants of what made up me I've never shown This is my time to rise Dark horse I'll fight my way to the top You will never be the thorn in my side Dark horse Dreams are my driving force Open your eyes Go live your own life I'm not scared! It's all that I know Done nothing but travel without knowing where to go I've been digging up bones Remnants of what made up me I've never shown When the smoke clears, and the damage is done I'll be the only one left standing I see someone without a shred of hope At their breaking point, at the end of the rope I'm not scared! It's all that I know Done nothing but travel without knowing where to go I've been digging up bones Remnants of what made up me I'll never show I'll never show I'm not scared! It's all that I know Done nothing but travel without knowing where to go I've been digging up bones Remnants of what made up me I'll never show

You left some hope instilled in me That I never should give up on anything I know this made you proud of me So this song remains for those who hurt like me The man in black He rides alone A final destination unknown The man in black He rides alone He's moving on Not coming home I used to be the fearless one Living each day like death would never come I feel his cold breath on my neck He's watching my steps and telling me that I could be next I used to be the fearless one Living each day like death would never come I feel his cold breath on my neck He's watching my steps and telling me that I could be next Before I used to take these wings and I'd fly so high I'd fly so high, I tried Now I live in regret, never coming down to say goodbye Oh why can't I? The man in black He rides alone A final destination unknown The man in black He rides alone He's moving on I can't follow I used to be the fearless one Living each day like death would never come I feel his cold breath on my neck He's watching my steps and telling me that I could be next I used to be the fearless one Living each day like death would never come I feel his cold breath on my neck He's watching my steps and telling me that I could be next So make way for the man in black Make way, he's never coming back I am so lost at sea Ryan, shine the light for me I'm sinking, I can't swim I need you here to pull me in I am so lost at sea Ryan, shine your light for me I'm sinking, I can't swim I miss you, brother You will never dim

I was lead to believe, but now I know for sure When the wind's knocked out of me Only one thing that can be the cure and bring me to my feet When all the words just relate I just hit play, and when the record comes to an end I'll listen all over again Truth is, I'm taking a step back and taking some time to think I've just got to express myself with this pen and ink Because I've got, I've got, I've got, something left to say This means all the world to me, these words never let me down! This all made me who I am, who I am. This is how I became a man So when breath escapes and my eyes close Just hit play and when the record comes to an end I'll sing it all over again Truth is, I'm taking a step back and taking some time to think I've just got an express myself with this pen and ink Because I've got, I've got, I've got something left to say This means all the world to me, these words never let me down! This is my everything Come do your worst, this is my obsession I chose this life, and I've found my own direction Truth is, I'm taking a step back and taking some time to think I've just got an express myself with this pen and ink Because I've got, I've got, I've got something left to say This means all the world to me, these words never let me down! Never let me down When this record comes to an end, I'll just start it all over again

This will not be the new revival or a claim to fame Far away from the slings and arrows is where you go to pass your blame It's the ones with no courage that can't face the day (can't face the day) A captain with no ship is just a castaway (just a castaway) I sent my heart out to sea I sent out my everything A crown atop your head does not make you a king A crowd that follows does not mean you can lead Take this for what it is. We all know who's to blame You're not going to find your place You're just a face with no name (no name) The weak prey on the weak, and I'll be the first to say That I don't have all of the answers Sometimes I run away But I set out on this course, continue on with no remorse I know who I am, and it's enough for me And it's enough for me! I sent my heart out to sea I sent out my everything A crown atop your head does not make you a king A crowd that follows does not mean you can lead Take this for what it is. We all know who's to blame You're not going to find your place You're just a face with no name (no name) Just a face with no name! I sent my heart straight out sea Will it make its way back to me? I've been so lost 'cause all I've found is hatred and corruption Can my heart weather this storm? And through the cold stay warm? I said, if it makes its way back to me I can survive anything

You are the deceiver No excuse for the years you've spent cold Spreading words like fire to build an army Just to watch them burn You wanna watch them burn You can't trust this All these false prophets stand before me Spitting venom just to make you all believe So full of hate and negativity It's not the answer, it won't set you free! It's not the answer, it won't set you free! You are the deceiver No excuse for the years you've spent cold Spreading words like fire to build an army Just to watch them burn You wanna watch them burn You can't trust this Suffocated by the air that you need Never leaving the cold (never leaving the cold) Sacrificing everything you could be 'Cause it's what you've been told! When you look in the mirror what do you see? Tell me what do you see! What do you see? Is it everything that you wanted to be? I'll reclaim everyone you betrayed Because the tides will change When you've been sent to your grave! Overturn the throne; you chose a side doomed for failure Overturn the throne; I'm here to turn the tides of war! You're running with the wolves Inflicting fatal wounds You're just a naysayer, that will never be me!

I could tell you what you want to hear to hold you off another year But I hope the truth finds you well A common praise, a passing phase Moving forward? Not today! The limit's in the sky, but will you be reaching it tonight? Tonight you got to test the limits and tell yourself that "I'm alive!" Just make that choice and draw that line tonight Tonight you got to test the limits and tell yourself that "I'm alive, and I'm not going anywhere!" No chance to be free No chance to soar in the sky Your feet fixed to the ground Desperation is what's weighing you down Whether my strength be heaven sent Or my own self-confidence These days when I'm walking through a crowd I don't have to hold my head down No more wasting time, burn bright like a star, ignite The limit's in the sky but will you be reaching it tonight? Tonight you got to test the limits and tell yourself that "I'm alive!" Just make that choice and draw that line tonight Tonight you got to test the limits and tell yourself that "I'm alive, and I'm not going anywhere!" "Be a leader and never ever follow" That's what my father, that's what he always told me So with those words boldly spoken, he sent me down a long and hard road Shrug it off my shoulders, it was never meant for me I won't waste my time in mediocrity I won't waste my time in mediocrity Tonight I'm alive
