Four Years 03:51
People are falling Into a place they've never seen The times are changing Forgetting what seems to be clean You can't let this seep into your head For as you write these walls Build yourself up And I fill these gaps inside my head With memory of peace instead To try, to keep my pride and joy spread Prevent the dream from being dead We can't stop you From taking what is yours Oh these four years Don't let go of who you are You can't let this seep into your head For as you write these walls Build yourself up And I fill these gaps inside my head With memory of peace instead To try, to keep my pride and joy spread Prevent the dream from being dead

My Own 03:37
As my words crawl through my lips Become a lost sound amongst a thousand voices That creek in my ears, while I'm just standing there I reach out my hand to the ones not listening Asking to receive the notes I'm screaming out I see the world more clearly through my eyes To make my name is only my right I place my values (and) judgements oh so high Delivering my mind and body My face takes the place of some While my body still remains in one A hard shell won't soften the blow, while I'm just standing there I reach out my hand to the ones not listening Asking to receive the notes I'm screaming out I see the world more clearly through my eyes To make my name is only my right I place my values (and) judgements oh so high Delivering my mind and body

Drown 04:31
Haven’t you noticed Every time I swim I almost drown? Eyes losing focus, My feet are searching for the ground. I need something solid, Something to hold my body, Broken and squalid, Asking for pity. There’s nowhere on Earth for me- Not after you flood my home Give me the sand So I can stick my head in it. Get me to land Where you can drown it in your shit Allow me to Sail away from perpetual dissatisfaction There’s nowhere on Earth for me- Not after you flood my home and drain my sea I used to love the excess But I’m getting sick of it When I’m drowned in pounds of filth, When I’m buried in your shit There’s nowhere on Earth for me- Not after you flood my home and drain my sea

Vultures 04:28
You think you can Callously Condemn your women for All of your problems? Addressing the problems with- Out their protagonist Won’t help to solve them She shoulders the boulder That You placed upon on her, Given To you by culture. You claim you’re so cultured while You give the vultures The means to oppress her. Don’t let yourself be blind, stay blind Don’t let yourself be blind, stay blind To anybody else’s pain Instead you focus on your gain Don’t let yourself be blind, stay blind How can a man like yourself Prop a woman as evil? She did you no wrong, She is not its cause; Shouldn’t You take pause before you Sink your jaws into her? Blame Uncle Sam for your pain; Yes, you do, but you stain Women with your blood From struggles of misuse, like They don’t have enough. Try Putting yourself in their shoes. Don’t let yourself be blind, stay blind Don’t let yourself be blind, stay blind To anybody else’s pain Instead you focus on your gain Don’t let yourself be blind, stay blind

Homesickness 03:17
Your mother stayed close to home- She expected the same from you. But You, the smart one, favorite child, Didn’t promise what you couldn’t keep. That weight you feel every time You think about skipping town- It drags your stomach so low You’d do anything to lighten the load. You, the smart one, favorite child, Didn’t promise what you couldn’t keep. But you still kept your home, Not your sanity, not your dignity. That weight inside your stomach Comes from your lifestyle Built on flipping greasy burgers And mixing chocolate malts. You, little dodo, can’t fly When you’ve lost your ability. You, little dodo, can’t fly When you’ve lost your ability. You, the smart one, favorite child, Didn’t promise what you couldn’t keep. But you still kept your home, Not your sanity, not your dignity.
