Decipher the meaning of life
Patience all it takes is time
Every day is a chance to shape
Our paths are not put down on tape
Horizons only in sight.
Interconnection is our inner strength
Inclusion allows us to sustain
This existential crisis will extend
Burn us and break us until everyone is condemned
And you shouldn't have to ask
for guardianship of your soul
inequality is the deadliest syndrome
Decipher the meaning of life
Patience all it takes is time
Every day is a chance to shape
Our paths are not put down on tape
Horizons only in sight.
Foreign words
The prophetic pleas
We swell at the seams
So follow the truth you know what I mean
Follow the truth you know what I mean
Follow the truth you know what I mean
Decipher the meaning of life
Patience all it takes is time
Every day is a chance to shape
Our paths are not put down on tape
Horizons only in sight.

You say you don't need us
But we'll be here while the world just keeps on spinning
You've lost sight of what matters
Now reasons is just a boyhood memory
You promise to fix things
As long as we promise to stop sinning
As long as ones enslaved
No one is ever truly free
Well they sold their souls so long ago
Endlessly talk, while they mindlessly watch
They try to the clock back on progress
You're the enemy
Shots ring out and you hurry to get to your fucking keyboard
Sending thoughts and prayers never cured no one or stopped a shooting spree
You wonder why the world seems to be descending into chaos
Maybe it's because you say "No one is different than me"
Well they sold their souls so long ago
Endlessly talk, while they mindlessly watch
They try to the clock back on progress
You're the enemy
Are we every truly free

We are the tide
Screaming to the shore
And taking everybody in our arms
We are the line
That you cannot cross
This world was always meant for us all
Top speed no matter what costs
We don't need all of your doublethink
Regressed intellect inside of your disdain
What's this!?
1984?
NewSpeak
Perpetual War
Alternative Facts are Lies
Is this how freedom dies?
We are the tide
Screaming to the shore
And taking everybody in our arms
We are the line
That you cannot cross
This world was always meant for us all
For Us All!!!

Lie to me!
Accuse me!
Blindfold me, the gallows await!
Taking away my right and duty to choose.
Let me tell you what I think of your rules.
Try and silence me when I can broadcast hope and spread the news.
I'll fly up high with my wings spread wide when you're through with me!
Lie to me!
Accuse me!
Blindfold me, the gallows await!

Here’s a story that’s harrowing. Is this who you wanted to be?
I need to find a place to be alone with my favorite drink.
That’s when it comes out.
All those things I think about,
like all that stupid shit you used to say.
The good times, the bad times,
all those times we should have died,
and how I had to leave the masquerade.
I like the way that whiskey burns.
One of these days you’re gonna learn life leave you on the curb.
I like the way the whiskey burns.
When I came home I realized I had friends I didn’t recognize.
And with you, it was clear. There was nothing behind glazed eyes.
And when it came time for me to say goodbye,
I found you passed out on the floor.
A piss soaked, coked mess. I prayed, I must confess.
I don’t want to deal with that no more.
I like the way that whiskey burns.
One of these days you’re gonna learn that life will leave you on the curb.
I like the way the whiskey burns.
When John called, just to say,
“He’s throwing his life away.”
I didn’t know what to think, it just drove me to drink.
That’s when it comes out, all those things I think about.
Like all those things I wished I would have said.
Her hopes, her dreams. They don’t seem to mean a thing.
This is the hardest thing for me. Do this for yourself, you can’t rely on me.

Welcoming everyone to the New American Republic,
where rules are made up and the masses do not give a shit
about the puppet masters pulling on the strings,
while everything else in the world is slowly burning down and smoldering.
Take a look around and you’ll see what’s going down.
Corruption, violence, with no honor to be found.
Knee jerk reactions are killing reasoning,
what are you gonna do when the vultures start circling?
This is not the end!
Now is not the time to roll over and die,
when you’ve got to pick yourself up off the floor
and do your part to fight in this new war!
Don’t you love the world and what’s become of it?
When it’s being run by liars, cheats, and hypocrites
stuck in their own ways, they fail to realize
to function we must not compromise.
No matter what the cause or all the different reasons,
we must prepare ourselves for the changing of the seasons.
The great Hydra has reared its ugly head
Once again, stand stall! We must rise to the call!
