A Brand New Dawn 04:58
lyrics

Basking in that morning sun And spending all my moments chasing fun The melodies that were sung It’s true what they say when they say that youth is wasted on the young Laughing and crying Sometimes we felt like flying Now sacred to me Like a soft breeze blowing through me Feels like dying Sometimes you felt like trying Glad you stuck it through That feeling, The carrot I’ve been chasing Inherently outpacing My memory keeps erasing Of the way things used to be In the dark we’d always find a way to see Splashing through the floods at the park The chapters are marked We were screaming strong like a melody-less song Relaxing like it was my job I would turn it down, but I can’t find the knob I only felt a need to explore Met with procrastination and the sound of closing doors Riding shotgun A broken arm is not fun Drop out? Me too. I had better things to do I miss you, always The shy boy in packed hallways But you’re still here, aren’t You? That feeling, The carrot I’ve been chasing Inherently outpacing Me and the pains I’m facing Oh how the years had felt long Then suddenly they were gone I can’t help but keep moving on And tip my hat to a brand new dawn

No Questions (feat. JJ) 03:47

Everywhere I look, it’s Zombies They all around me Everywhere I go man, they try to harm me Scabby... Flabby... Ignorant asshole, angry Army Fuck ‘em tho Can’t trust ‘em tho MC Hammer can’t touch me tho I’m combustible so tuck and roll When I deploy, I destroy Anytime I see a decoy Fake bros fake hoes Y’all can step on some legos and break a hip Take a sip of the Kool-Aid that they makin’ bitch I ain’t got time for tasting it cause everywhere I look, it’s Zombies I’m tired of losing friends over divisive issues, causing such a strain When I’m only asking questions Restrictions and oppression Create division and depression Everywhere I look, it’s... Zombies Consuming brains the ruler reigns with fake news Ungodly, unruly gains - the truth remain We break through Ignoring the morbid and boisterous World forces warring where resources is, create more for the orphanage Disproportionate reaction, strangers hating strangers, that’s the danger of the factions Don’t look now, they coming your way with an open mouth Never waking up, they broken down They roaming round, they hopeless now Walking dead beat, head is empty Feeding frenzy, evil envy Feeble people, deceitful angry Eating away at the people pantry Owwwww, It makes me antsy Cause everywhere I look, it’s Zombies Restrictions and oppression Create division and depression I’m tired of being told that this is it and there ain’t any other way When will we learn our lesson? I’m tired of submitting to the will and want of those that hold the sway My life, my only possession Restrictions and oppression Create division and depression You see it all around this obsession People are scared There’s No Question Everywhere I lookIt’s Zombies

Different Kind of Monster (feat. Andrea Jongeling) 04:28
lyrics
I don't belong with anyone Sooner or later I watch them run They can see the lie buried in my eye From behind the sights of their gun What more can I say at the end of the day? What will make their doubt just go away? The hunters and the prey both stay at bay 'Cause I'm a different kind of monster An open road is all that lies ahead Laden with the hidden and the dead I'm searching for nothing more than some answers and a cure For what is wrong with me and wrong with them Such a sight to see when the light grows dim People are wise to flee from the likes of me 'Cause I'm a different kind of monster

Enemy in Me (feat. Shawn Q Kroll) 04:57
lyrics
I was never meant to save the world, but... Now I've no choice When the darkness gave way to the light It awakened a new voice I was born on the dark side of the moon A super hero trapped in a legion of doom Forced to breathe and consume the rot in the ruin So I would be immune to the toxic fumes Product of gloom groomed comfortably numb At the age of one my first power, the silver tongue, was fed bread crumbs Appetite was minimal they limited my sight so I could learn to fight subliminal A criminal mind with the heart of a lion Force fed the dark arts, still partial to the divine So I find time behind the scene, master my thesis Move objects with my mind like telekinesis Use psychedelic relics and melodies instead of embellishing in irrelevant felonies My talents developed into a relevant identity Hell bent for leather as I become the enemy (You don't wanna be the enemy) I will walk through fire and I will not get burned My core turns red hot, you should be concerned The sky churns from shades of blue to red I break bread with the enemy to keep mouths fed My heart beats like a piston with veins pumping lead Hark like arch angels that come to defeat the dead Don't tread on me Clear vision, cracked lenses I break through these rusted chains and seek vengeance A dark city raising enemies, shape shifting Serenity's dismal, citizens take to drifting Flashing on the scene, keen with deep stares and eye beams Who could it be? It's me and my team of super beings Haz-mat suits with our masks and our boots A badass task force of assassins and brutes It's red dawn generators, backed up gasoline My renegades penetrate, we reign supreme Enzymes electrified, vital signs energized Weak minds go suicide Tidal waves are city wide Earth shakes from earthquakes Re-approach the birth place Explosions rumble, buildings crumble in a cursed place Erupting dust, corrosive rust, iron bending Hell sending, ending unjust pretending Hear the cries of the snake eyes We rise from the hatred and lies as we form sacred ties I was never meant to save the world, but... Now I've no choice When the darkness gave way to the light It awakened a new voice And it's telling me "things don't need to be the way they've always been" ...and I'm shedding my skin to start again With lots of desire fought with all that I've learned I poured everything I got into this green earth Sky turns from shades of red to blue I made myself the enemy, a sacrifice for you My heart speaks its last wisdom, pain from last breath Embark with arch angels as I drift into death The enemy in me, my prison was my vengeance Trust this wasn't in vain you must end this I fought with all my might and my last breath will speak truth and shed light I pass this gift to the next one to proceed my conquest You were never meant to save the world Now you've no choice

Tomorrow's a Thief 04:45
lyrics

People like us will all make our mistakes Most of which cannot ever be unmade We take them all as we may to our grave And we continue our lives with the grief Can't turn back the time at all it just goes onward Deal with the wind as it blows Days pass Nothing consoles pain that we save Meander through life searching for relief For relief... searching searching For relief... hurting hurting For relief... searching searching For relief, yeah Nothing is forever, just time, ya know? Sorrow is ours to stow until we go So stay focused and just try not to cave Value your life for tomorrow's a thief Tomorrow's a thief...

Slow the Flow 05:54
lyrics
I'm always tired, not expired. Sometimes hired, rarely fired Still inspired and looking for ways to explore I'm always trying even though there's no return When will I learn to withstand the burning sensation of feeling ignored? Just like an itch that can't be scratched I feel attached But to a dream that doesn't seem to fit my theme like it did before It's gotten so bad that my wife needs to remind me Not to start up another band every time I head out the door Do I push myself too hard or not enough? Racing the pace of exhaustion Struggle to make a living and balance with giving and taking Steady raking but it's a challenge making the green I'm not alone in this mission constantly wishing For another opportunity to get me living the dream From the bottom all I ever see is asses And I'm swimming in molasses with no help to rise with the cream Interest rates are higher than I am on a Friday And now they got me straight believing that all I can do is just... Constantly treading water, but will I start to sink? Scared of the face of the future... At times I would love to flee or just be free like the leaves in the breeze The sun and rain are all I care about Try to sustain what's slowly running out Feeling broken, not joking, think it's a token To the way I've been living, it's gotten tough to pick up the slack Spinning faster than last year, a greener pasture behind me Looking forward it's slowly fading from grey to black Try to keep up and make the rounds to my stomping grounds My rate is slowing, knowing that I'm brewing a heart attack I miss my mammy n my pappy n my granny But I know they're proud of the way that I haven't been looking back The cosmos doesn't care and why would it? Just a teardrop from the stars I'm thirty five years old with nothing but lovin' No bun in the oven, I'm pushing and shoving to rewind the hands A careful planner but I'm raging like Banner I'm sadder than a broken sifter trying to slow down the flowing sands I need a flux capacitor and Mr. Fusion Just so I can stop losing the time and fit in all of my plans Carpe diem, I see 'em, the roses But my nose is pointed in all directions I hope they can understand I guess I wouldn't change a thing 'cause what would it bring? An alternative path of yearning? Fragile I hang from a string or rather clinging I stumble and trip but I'm learning The more I complain, the less I figure out What this magical world is really all about A gift of love, pain and mortality The only way eternity could taste this sweet

Growing up together, but damn if it doesn’t seem to forever How is the weather? Looks like it’s time to go play, what did mama say We just can’t help but to need their attention So we shout and we fight They just can’t help but to show their affection And keep us in their sight I sure am glad that you’re here with me now, sibling of mine Here in this time I got your back and I know you got mine, and in the end We’ll be just fine Sometimes I could kill you, but then what would I do? I’d feel so lonely as all the days and years just pass me by We just can’t help but to constantly mention What we need and require They just can’t help but to answer our questions Again and again, they never end I sure am glad that you’re here with me now, sibling of mine Here in this time I got your back and I know you got mine, and in the end We’ll be just fine It’s so nice out today, so let’s go and play, oh that’s what we say We’re not tired, no way! And if it should rain, no we would not complain, we’d just dance and we’d sing Like it ain’t no thing! I sure am glad that you’re here with me now, sibling of mine Here in this time I got your back and I know you got mine, and in the end We’ll be just fine

The Love Setting In (feat. Shawn Q Kroll) 05:53
lyrics

We'll befriend you, no logic Looks exotic on the menu It runs like guitar strums that bleed on stage at the venue It comes from the rising sun, disguised and oh so cumbersome Size and shape decide our fate, enticeful vices make us numb It speaks in tongues and cheek, comes from the deep But it's hard to climb this mountain steep, I find no sleep in counting sheep Spineless morals, we breathe gasses, relapse as time passes us Mindless madness for the masses, darker than the Donner Pass was Life is more than I can take, feels like I'm 'bout to break Don't know how to tap the brakes or learn from my mistakes Trench coat, cut throat, loose bolt, retribution, tightrope, glass broke, high volts, electrocution Pressure rising with the tide to find a way to hide from the pains I stash inside My best friend can abide I can't do this by myself, I'm needing some sort of help Because these heavenly feelings will only drag me through Hell If I don't find a way to get clean, well I'm die here inside of this dream And I'm liable to never wake up, so I'm striving to be alive again yeah His glass is half empty and cracked, every gasp could be his last Temping to fast flashbacks from a wretched past led him back to the same path But his struggle is real, every day hustle he does what he feels What he once was is surreal Father of sons and daughters, his reason to heal But white is black, inside is out Addiction, his prison of doubt He could feel it in the air that something was wrong Every idiot light on his dashboard was on I used to be ok, I could make it through the day I would always find a way to make the smile stay Hanging from the branches, I can hear them cracking Straining from the tension, am I overreacting? I didn't know what life contained, no knowledge of the strain Will I ever be the same? If I can't find a way to stay clean, I'm gonna waste away in this dream It's so hard to get away from the stuff I'm just dying to feel alive again yeah Breathe in, Breathe out Breathe in healing, breathe out feelings of doubt Breathe in, scream and shout No matter what you do, just breathe No matter what you do, believe Release yourself, at ease The key, unlock the piece of the puzzle and let your soul be free 'Cuz you can't grow roots if you don't plant a seed Find yourself, make your peace Free your mind, follow your heart, new sight, fresh start Look for the higher tower, the waves are crashing, you're not that far Search for the higher power, reach for the universe, pull down the stars No tomorrow, live in the now No more sorrow, no more strife Because today is the first day of the rest of your life To the curb I will kick it, I promise I won't miss it I'll tear up that ticket for a one way trip Meditate, elevate, motivate, set it straight, let the new you resonate Ventilate, take a deep breath and begin, it's a new dawn setting in I've swallowed my pride, I swear that I'm trying It's raining outside like the angels are crying Meditate, elevate, motivate, set it straight, let the new you resonate Ventilate, take a deep breath and begin, it's a new day setting in If I didn't find a way to get clean (Breathe in, Breathe out, breathe in healing, breathe out feelings of doubt) I would have died there alone in that dream (Breathe in, scream and shout, no matter what you do, believe) Finding strength from within and above (Meditate, elevate, motivate, set it straight, let the new you resonate) Now I'm alive and I'm thriving in the love yeah (Ventilate, take a deep breath and begin, it's a new dawn setting in) The love yeah... Setting in... The love yeah... Setting in... The love yeah... Setting in...
