Malfeasance 02:40
Smile Lift your hand and wave to man woman and child My words are plague, designed to calm your rage Can’t look away, you know I’ll make you pay Up on a pedestal where you, truly can’t be seen Our freedom is a lie we all believe Do as I say, don’t do as I do, you’ll only get confused To prove a point, you know I’m always right Vacuous eyes, born to tell you lies Up on a pedestal where you, truly can’t be seen Our freedom is a lie we all believe We won’t go blindly like they say Up on a pedestal where you, truly can’t be seen Our freedom is a lie we all believe Up on a pedestal where you, truly can’t be seen Freedom is a lie that we’ve been taught to see
2.
Red Paint 02:48
It’s time to take these blank walls in our cities and our towns Some things will stay but others will never be the same Perspectives can change, try not to place all of the blame This war has hit our streets, people are standing on their feet, there’s no retreat anymore The lack of common sense has left red all over town Some things will stay but others will never be the same Perspectives can change, try not to place all of the blame This war has hit our streets, people are standing on their feet, there’s no retreat anymore Some things will stay but others will never be the same Rational empathetic sentiment Perspectives can change try not to place all of the blame Open up your eyes clear thought prevails
3.
What If 02:51
I can’t talk to you / You and I Like we used to / What if I Took it all on / What if I took it all on me What if we’ve all been wrong Doing this our way all along From what we both thought that we knew Look in the mirror / Who am I What have I done / Can’t look back All that I’ve seen / Cant go back with all I’ve seen What if we’ve all been wrong Doing this our way all along From what we both thought that we knew What If I / Took it all on me Who am I / Look in the mirror What if I / What if we’ve been wrong Who am I / And with what I’ve done What if I took it all on me
4.
The Fall 03:06
Do you do it for yourself Do you do it for people to look at you And if no one was watching would you do it at all Sadness solitude Status quo platitudes Falling on deaf ears Held over childhood fears Talk it out make sure you’re being heard Or do the actions speak for themselves Is anyone paying attention What happens when you’re by yourself Where is the peace of mind Is there acceptance over time Live life your own or follow along How do they look at you Whose watching the things you do Does it help you sleep by closing your eyes Brush all the warts out of the frame Perform the role and take a bow, collect the praise But do they really seem amused Do the all roses flatter you? When they wilt, they leave an empty vase Sweep all the hunger into frame Pass out a pittance, strike a pose, collect acclaim Power always condescends All accomplices no friends All accomplishment is just a filtered lie wither on the vine
5.
Save You 02:44
I hear you talking on the phone I feel the air it’s heavy all around I can feel something is wrong but I don’t care anymore, so just say it loud I can’t get through I can’t get through What do you want from this? How can I fix it all? What do you need from me? I cant save you This will come out one day Cause stress always has its own way Lifelong patterns are hard to break When everyone you know has survived this way I want to get through I want to get through
6.
Insulated 03:05
I’m at war Within myself No more Asking for help I feel so alone How in this moment am I on my own Reframe And self reflect Self doubt From past Neglect I feel so alone How in this moment am I on my own
7.
If I lead, will you follow me? If I do, will I pour it on? If an army mounts will I really lead? If a battle comes, will I stand tall, and fight with everything I got? Will I spill my last drop of blood, to lead us to believe we can really start to turn the tide? Now I really want to know, have I got what it takes to shape the future? Am I gonna make you known? If you want to take the wheel, I'm gonna let you. I wanna know. There's a voice inside my head that says, "Let's spark a rally!" It's saying, "If not you, then who? If not now, then will we?" There are muscles atrophied that are dying for some blood and work. Just waiting to be filled to show us a new capacity. Now I really want to know, have I got what it takes to shape the future? Am I gonna make you known? If you want to take the wheel, I'm gonna let you (right now). I wanna know.

This time I tried so hard. This time I tried, do you see it? This time I swear I’ve done it all. This time I tried. Am I beaten? This time, will I know? (no, I’m not finished yet). This time, will I see it? (no, I'm not finished yet). This time I tried so hard. (no I’m not finished yet). So tired this time and I feel beaten. This time I tried, will I know, will I see it through the end. This time I tried, will I see it? Will I see it through the end? This time I tried, will I know? Will I see it through the end? This time I tried. Am I beaten?

So you romanticize about an easier life, so you don’t have to pay the price for what you own. But remember dear, when the end is near, you will not regret all the hardships that you’ve known. And it’s the hard lessons that make you what you are today, stronger anyway. It’s the hard lessons that break you down and build you up again my friend. And I would not trade my callouses for your soft hands, and I would not give up anything that has made me a man. For I’ve been bent and broken, and now I understand, that every fucking fall I took helped me to better stand. And it’s the hard lessons that make you what you are today, stronger anyway. It’s the hard lessons that break you down and build you up again my friend. I’m leaving you, done everything I can do. I have to get out before this town breaks me in two. But I know what you’re made of, and I know you’ll be strong, and after a while you’ll realize that you’re so much better off, and it’s the hard lessons that make you what you are today, stronger anyway. It’s the hard lessons that break you down and build you up again my friend.

Maybe things won’t be alright. Maybe no one wins this fight. Maybe there’s no silver line. Maybe everybody loses this time. You can choke on your cliches, cause there’ll be no more better days. I refuse to accept his suicide was all for the best. Save your platitudes my friend for swimming in the shallow end. Life’s a lottery of beauty and tragedy, not some predetermined test. All this pain ain't meant to be. You just fear your empathy. See him sitting in that chair. Don't you tell me that he’s better off there. It’s an excuse, a dismiss (a lie). It’s an arbitrary twist. Why make sense of all this pain? Sit with me, wait out the rain.
11.
Sun it never lasts more than a day or so, like so many friends it came to stay here long enough to leave an indescribable impact on this place. This city’s sweating bullets and raining those cold November tears (All we are in this world. All we have in this world). I guess I never thought you'd go away. I guess I never thought you'd leave me here. Roses last so long here that the birds and bushes stay frightfully alive. This city really never ever just cools off I guess. It’s Thursday night and it's 23 degrees. Cold it travels all along the evening breeze. Fifteen gathered up and bundled tight. “We'll make it, we'll make it, we'll make it” is heard through the night. Portland, Austin, Asheville, New York and Providence. My friends, they've been called on so much further and further away from here. (All we are in this world. All we have in this world). I guess I never thought you'd go away. I guess I never thought you'd leave us here.
