I wish there was a way
To go back
Relive my dreams
Change the things I regret

Tower Road
03:29
|
|||
|
Take my first steps on tower road
Searching for my dream
Personal legend waits for me
Find my destiny
Climbing upon my tallest peak
Always stare ahead
Scraping and crawling over the rocks
I can finally
10,000 steps on Tower Road
Future looks more bleak
Fall and get up and fall again
Each fall brings a louder shriek
Longer I spend upon the road
the goal becomes less clear
Back and forth back and forth endlessly
Trying to tear down the wall
Document and evaluate
Change the circumstance
Change the path?
Growing pains
Maybe a flat plane
Maybe backwards growth
Where’s the focus?
Losing sleep as I drift away
As I lose myself
Lose the world around me
Isolated, exacerbated
Can’t turn back
This road leads back to start

Breakfast of Champions

And we’re still here like this, it’s what it’s always been
the state’s deception, nothing is for us, they ignore us
the people are sick of this and if nothing can fix it
we’ll eat the truth for breakfast, we’ll keep fighting, till justice makes it right
if the foundation of a nation is built on a lie
small adjustments only serve to waste our time
jim crow’s in the prisons, and that’s just the beginning!
the news is thinning but you’ll see them out on the front lines until we’re winning
shelter our brothers! uplift our sisters!
look close at the system and face the fact
things have never been fair
keep doing your research, reveal the truth, and speak out at the evil
America’s not free and no one is equal
(What’s really free and who’s really equal?)
how are you supposed to build a nation
(when) those in power are just taking us for fools
if there was ever a means to the questions
the answers serve for only breaking down the rules
they see us taking the cities back and it’s so far from over
we will have seen the change that we want now when we’re older
get out of your home
and in the street
no justice
no peace
get out of your home
and in the street
no justice
no peace
And we’re still here like this, still what it’s always been
the state’s deception, nothing is for us, they ignore us
the people are sick of this and if nothing can make it right
we flood the city streets, we’ll keep fighting, till our justice makes it right
if you know that it’s time to make a change
what will it take to rearrange
take it all apart and decolonize, that the whole thing is broken
stay listening and you’ll know that the people have already spoken
get out of your home
and in the street
no justice
no peace
get out of your home
and in the street
no justice
no peace
get out of your home
and in the street
no justice
no peace
get out of your home
and in the street
no justice
no peace

Settle With Persephone
05:38
|
|||
|
It’s nowhere I’ve been searching all day
in doorways, under garbage cans and
it’s futile, and by the strength of unknowns
I knew that
you’re dreaming, in a field that you know
won’t be there tomorrow (unless)
the fighters and their crowds can uncover the fire
that releases (and) refracts like a spirit
Leaving in the morning
leave this town
and I go down
what then would you say to be
fading somewhere else
what would you say to be
fading somewhere else
settle with Persephone
I’ll see you underground
you’re lonely you ache for the places you know
the path home is all but a straight shot
they’ll give you a cold glass of water
to invite into your body without drowning
but it beats the living
leave this town
and I go down
what then would you say to be
fading somewhere else
what would you say to be
fading somewhere else
settle with Persephone
I’ll see you underground
in the first room you’ll see a beast with three heads (under the ground)
so much better than scared to death of the living (under the ground)
lay your burdens (down)
leave em at the door
leave this town
and I go down
what then would you say to be
fading somewhere else
what would you say to be
fading somewhere else
settle with Persephone
I’ll see you underground

I will never believe what you say
I will never follow your ways
The path I carve is always my own
Never to be washed away
Everyday’s a new challenge
Everyday I push some more
Everyday I try something new
Persisting through the war
Swimming through a sea of memories
Clinging to the past while everything changes
One day I might have to face my fears
But aren’t the peaks so good this time of year?
I will never back down
I will always persist
This road will only make me stronger
I will never back down
I will always persist
This road will only make me stronger
Thought I would ignore the change
Thought I’d always stay the same
Let the world turn alone
While I trip upon the road
Every day just feels the same
Everybody grows but me
Every time I look ahead
I get lost in the breeze
Swimming through a sea of memories
Clinging to the past while everything changes
Tell me now’s the time to face my fears
But I can hide behind the peaks all year
I have never backed down
And I always persist
This road has only made me stubborn
I have never backed down
And I always persist
This road has only made me stubborn
I will never believe what you say
I will never follow your ways
The path I carve is always my own
Never to be washed away
Back from underground
In the place I once called home
Feel the desolation
Feel the emptiness outside
See how we’ve grown!
Join the band
Shelter our brothers! uplift our sisters!
Hand in hand
They push against us
Still resist them
Join the band
Shelter our brothers! uplift our sisters!
Hand in hand
They push against us
Still resist them
We will never bend!
In troubled times we prevail
Ah ah
We push ourselves to the edge
Ah ah
In troubled times we defy
Ah ah
I’m never going to comply
Ah ah
We’ll never bend!
I wish there was a way
To go back
Relive my dreams
Change the things I regret
I heard you couldn’t stay
You had to move on
Chase some scene
Follow the sound

talk to me
I can’t sleep
the floating lights are drifting by
they echo softly
in the dark
alone with my heart
I wonder how we’ll find each other now
satellite
if you can hear me tonight
I want to give you everything
and beam it down
on wherever they are
if you’re counting on stars
I’m coming soon I’ll be on your side
and almost exactly, it wasn’t a fantasy
it’s happening (if you need it too, you’ll pray for me)
Find me in the in between
There’s no sign
If the path will be kind
But I know that I will walk beside you
Come what may
I promised I’d wait
and leave it to fate
if you’re holding on I know we’ll make it out
The sparks align
In just a matter of time
I feel the friction on me, take my hand
you won’t be lonely
(so) when you’re ready my dear
I’ll be standing right here
Underneath my skin, i know the words you pray
I can see clearly that you were no fantasy
it’s everything (to me)
it’s you in the in-between
as far as I can see, it’s true
now I listen for your name (cause I want to baby)
God knows I would rather be with you
I can see clearly that this was no fantasy
It’s meant to be, you’re meant to be with me
Out of the dark night, it came from the in-between
Of everything we believed

Snowfall in Loveland
09:43
|
|||
|
I am the snowfall
I spread myself across the ground
Touch the ends
Of the earth
Feel the space
Of the place I call home
You are the river
I long to skate down your icy streams
Pull me in
Push away
Either way
Can’t be divided
As I rise to the surface now
Color engulfs me
Any time
Any day
Any place
I will stay with you
As I slip through the waterfall
Frozen and formless
Any time
Any day
Any place
I will stay with you
Seasons change again now
I’m still losing myself
Each day blows on past me
Laying in the same grave
Seasons change again now
You’re still losing yourself
Each day blows on past you
Laying in the same grave
Fade away again
Your sun is out again
Though I long to feel the breeze of winter
That won’t stop me from the thought of you
I am the mountain
The world crumbles beneath me
You are the desert
I long to be a grain of sand
Your glory is all I see!
As you sink further in the ground
I grasp for your hand
Any time
Any day
Any place
I will stay with you
As I push my way out of town
You pull me in further
Any time
Any day
Any place
I will stay with you
Seasons change again now
I’m still losing myself
Each day blows on past me
Laying in the same grave
Seasons change again now
You’re still losing yourself
Each day blows on past you
Laying in the same grave
Fade away again
Your sun is out again
Though I long to feel the breeze of winter
That won’t stop me from the thought of you
Seasons change again now
I’m still losing myself
Each day blows on past me
Laying in the same grave
Seasons change again now
You’re still losing yourself
Each day blows on past you
Laying in the same grave
Fade away again
Your sun is out again
Though I long to feel the breeze of winter
That won’t stop me from the thought of you
I wish there was a way
To go back
Relive my dreams
Change the things I regret
I heard you couldn’t stay
You had to move on
Chase some scene
“Follow the sound”
But I just couldn’t leave
This place is my home
Unpacked my bags
Settled in for the night

City in the Sky
22:13
|
|||
|
Crowds are marching toward the sky
On 16th street they sing their plights
“The mountains are looking fine tonight”
You say to yourself as you miss your flight
Do you remember the last time
You looked to the west and knew you were home
Now you look from the outside
Sentiment rendering you blind
Did you ever think about the
Constant beauty that surrounds you
Did you ever take for granted
All of these things that were right outside your door
The moment comes, the good times end
You stand among your unknown friends
You shout to power demanding change
Knowing they’ll never change their ways
You don’t know how to use your voice
But know that you have to make a choice
When you were young you never knew
All of the damage you could do
Did you ever think about the
Crimes committed all around you
You can’t stand to live here now
But maybe you’re stuck here despite this awful town
You couldn’t look behind the damage that was done
A trail of hate you left for all of us to run
And now you’re old enough to resent this bitter town
You grit your teeth at work, you never thought we’d ever let you
Drown in the sea of I.D.
Get lost in the new memories
This growth takes a year out of me
(Don’t forget)
Nobody knows who they are
You’re one year older now, you’re smarter than before
There’s a path you can take will you open up the door?
But on your way from home you hear the sirens ring
The indecisiveness is never ending never ending
Drown in the sea of I.D.
Get drunk on the new memories
This growth takes a year out of me
(Don’t forget)
Nobody knows who they are
Close your eyes, miss a year
Hide behind all your fears
Turn your head, break your neck
Miss the present you’ll forget
They woke you up from your childhood fantasies
You tried to crawl back in and set yourself free
You can still choose to look away
And ignore the change
The world is spinning faster now
The old can no longer stay
Scraping at that old road again
Trying to leave this town
Maybe this time won’t be the same
Look up now you’re almost home
-
Took a trip to Eden last november
Wasn’t sure what I would find
But even though I travelled west of Denver
I couldn’t help but feel the same
Suddenly I felt a little stronger
Felt that I could face my fears
It’s not the city that creates the power
It’s your choices through the years
Wind still blows
Snow still falls
Through it all
We still grow
I wish there was a way
To go back
Relive my dreams
Change the things I regret
I heard you couldn’t stay
You had to move on
Chase some scene
“Follow the sound”
But I just couldn’t leave
This place is my home
Unpacked my bags
Settled in for the night
I guess we’ll say goodbye
We’ll go our separate ways
Mind at home
Body across the sea
You woke up this morning and couldn’t tell why
You felt so empty inside
The world that you long ago thought you knew
Tore itself up from the outside
And now it’s all but a shell of itself
And you never could get past it
And you try to deny it but that doesn’t change
The death of a life fantastic
And yet we still have miles to go
But I am never leaving my home
Through the mounds
Through the snow
Feel you everywhere I go
You’ll never believe how much we’ve grown
And yet we still have miles to go
But I am never leaving my home
Feel your soul
Feel your dreams
Through this faith I finally see
And yet we still have miles to go
