Flame Still Burns
Slow Down
Choose To Be
Put It Aside
Wake Up And Live
No More
What Goes Around
Potential Friends
A Time We'll Remember
Live Free
Understand
Prejudice
Keep It Up
Made their threats ruin your name
thought I was broken but the spirit remains
and this flame will keep on burning strong
and I will continue to sing this song
bad-mouthed behind us, taken their shots
but this tattered body will never be stopped
and this flame will keep on burning strong
and I will continue to sing this song
we've heard it all before
and we're ready for some more
if you think I'm gonna break it's
gonna take more than what you've got
don't count me out cause I've got some more
and I'm back with more strength and vigor than before
and this flame will keep on burning strong
and I will continue to sing this song
my feelings in the music and the words
are written in stone, and I know I'm not singing this song alone
Lost the time to live no time to take
caught in a cycle that won't give you a break
tensions running high I can see it in your eyes
you call that success I call it a lie
Slow down
I've got to slow down cause I want
to see all of what this world has to offer me
take a break appreciate
before this lifetime slips away
Slow down
try to think back a long time ago
when life was for living and the pace was slow
wasn't it worth it Will you stay
I hope I don't let it slip away
Slow down
Not gonna keep up my guard to prove I'm hard
or put on some act to earn your respect
cause that's not the type of life I want to live
and that's not the type of energy I want to give
I guess I'm not cool according to you
for having some friends who don't seem to fit in
well that's not the type of life I want to live
and that's not the type of energy I want to give
I guess you don't see cause you seem to be
real tough but living in misery
well that's not the type of life I want to live
and that's not the type of energy I want to give
Maybe I shouldn't have spoken
just kept my mouth shut
maybe all the effort didn't help much
singing for better conditions
hoping for better days
not saying that we're perfect
or looking for some praise
Gossip, rumors just plain lies
but we're on the same side
Gossip, rumors let's put it aside
Fuck we're on the same side
knowing if I stumble
aware if I fall
I don't need finger pointed at me
if you're not trying at all
not trying to come off righteous
just always tried to be sincere
didn't mean to come off so well-learned
cause I'm just another peer
gossip, rumors just plain lies
but we're on the same side
gossip, rumors let's put it aside
fuck we're on the same side
I know what I'm shooting for (PUT IT ASIDE)
I know how it felt
and I don't have to prove it to anybody
because I already proved it to myself
no matter where I am in this world
I know exactly where I stand
I thought we were on the same side man
but at least I know I've tried
Wake up and live
Wake up and live your life see what there is to see
I won't sit around all day cause life means more to me
wake up and live
so many kids content to sleep their lives away
but I'm gona try to make the most out of this day
wake up and live
it takes some motivation It takes some love for life
why just sit complacent and let life pass you by
boredom is a choice I choose not to make
unlock that door, strive for more
there's a better path to take
WAKE UP AND LIVE breath every breath
WAKE UP AND LIVE until my death
WAKE UP AND LIVE so much to do
WAKE UP AND LIVE all of you
c'mon, open your eyes
Meat eating flesh eating think about it
so callous to this crime we commit
always stuffing our face with no sympathy
what a selfish, hardened society so
No More
just looking out for myself
when the price paid is the life of something else,
No More
i won't participate
we've got the power we've got the might
to take whatever is in sight
not even worried, it's an unfair fight
well we've got a heart to tell us what's right
our numbers are doubling in 88
cause the people are starting to educate
themselves their friends and their families
and we'll have a more conscious society
A half-ass commitment, a casual act
shows me the decency that you lack
you're fucking with feelings and fucking with heads
and live for the moment is all that you've said
what goes around comes around
so watch yourself cause you're falling down
abusing, misusing you're out of control
your mind, spirit and body will take their toll
a slave to your senses, I see nothing more
cause temporary pleasure is what you strive for
taken what you've wanted, stepped on what's in your way
but there will be a price that you'll have to pay
easy acquaintances, broken friends
happy now but the loser in the end
broken promises, broken hearts
walk away when the pain starts
you take what's yours you still want more
if you only knew what's in store
Here I sit so fucking shy
wondering what's going through your mind
or what you're even like
as time ticks quickly by
a life so short, incomplete
so many people I'd like to meet
feeling awkward, afraid
potential friends I could've made
why do we keep to ourselves
and not dare to leave our fucking shells
let our feelings and emotions blend
we could be the best of friends
This is a time that we can live our dreams
and a time so pure, at least it seems
a simple life, a modest one
where money plays a minor role
and I pray and I'll try to keep this spirit inside me
as I start to grow old
this is an era of creativity
good music and good friends
and the dreams that we reach for
seem to be at the tips of our hands
and it's getting too late to appreciate
and it soon will be the past
but I'll still have these memories
but why can't they fucking last
maybe they can
this is a time, this is a time we'll remember
this is a time with lots of hope
and very little fear
and a time where every move we make seems so sincere
but when the song is sung and the moment's gone
only you'll know all we've shared
and I hope that you can rekindle too
this same feeling in the air
This is a time we can remember
Waving your flag a blind patriot
can no longer see cause your eyes are shut
love it or leave it is your sentiment
instead of working for improvement
but I want to live free
and won't settle for this mediocrity
waving your flag, we're number one
society's got you under their thumb
too ignorant too see through their subtle attack
to make us content but we must fight back
you don't love your country
you just love yourself
because you sit complacent
like everyone else
if your fights for freedom
then do what's right
put down that flag, protest and come join the fight
I'm caught in a rage I'm ready to fight
my stance is so strong but I've lost my clear sight
your thoughts and your actions make me want to attack
but I'll try to understand i'll try to step back
takes more strength to put down your hands
I've fought before and I know I can
I don't want to get hostile I'd rather understand you
and try to figure out why you do what you do
cut out that act better step back
you know we can understand
you feel it inside you know it's not right
when you know we can understand each other
Prejudice
Arguing your point about which race is best
think you've got some insight well it's just prejudice
and the more that you argue the more mad you get
well I don't want to fill myself with hate like that
you're prejudice just look at you
you're prejudiced and you're gonna be judged too
You've taken your stance, you've split us apart
let's see how many bad feelings you can start
trying to make hatred seem real cool
keep talking those facts you come off the fool
you're prejudice just look at you
you're prejudiced and you're gonna be judged too
unite the race what listen
we may be the same race but we're not the same [ PREJUDICE ]
you're cowards looking for someone else to blame
and you're just a few cause most are too smart
to listen to all the shit that you start
You know it causes more problems you're not happy at all
every time you indulge you realize you fall
all that you've learned don't take the wrong turn
if you keep it up you're gonna get burned
KEEP IT UP Go ahead KEEP IT UP KEEP IT UP II hope you don't KEEP IT UP
A position of respect live up to it
you never liked the trend, that's why you quit
you know what is wrong you know that you're strong
you knew the whole time that you didn't belong
KEEP IT UP
