Tear it down now! How much more can you possibly take? How many battles can you loose in one day? Who is the source of all your pain And how do you ever plan to be unrestrained? How much longer? How much more? Until you gain some self respect For once, just stand the fuck up and fight! Confront and shatter everything that stands in your way Every burden, every source of strife (Tear it down!) Every cage, every fucking vice (Tear it down!) Distorted notions of who you are (Tear it down!) Imposed values and beliefs Tear them down! Down! Down! Oooh, tear it down now!

(Straight to your face) (Straight to your face) (Straight to your face) With the truth! The longer it takes for you to achieve The faster they want to see you break It's in their nature to try to destroy What they know they could not help create I've seen it for years and I know first hand Who is genuine and who is fake The rest of the leeches will come and go Good riddance, we hated you anyway (Straight to your face) (Straight to your face) (Straight to your face) With the truth! Sometimes it gets hard when the road to the future Takes you back to a better day You wonder and ask yourself where the time went And why some people had lost their faith Though some memories and the friendships we had Over time have begun to fade We're stil right here and we're stronger than ever What we've done can never be taken away (Straight to your face) (Straight to your face) (Straight to your face) With the truth! (Straight to your face) (Straight to your face) (Straight to your face) With the truth! Here we go! I'm coming straight to your face with the truth now! (Straight to your face) (Straight to your face) (Straight to your face) (Straight to your face) (Straight to your face) With the truth!

Facing what consumes you Is the only way to be free Released from those poisonous fears Resurrected once and for all You want me to hold my tongue Then why the fuck am I here? You want me to bottle my rage Cause you never had the heart to say what I say My life, my body, my pride You have no opinion, no right I've built myself nothing like you My refusal is my way of life Doubt me (doubt me), hate me (hate me) You're the inspiration I need Doubt me (doubt me), hate me (hate me) You're the inspiration I need Doubt me (doubt me), hate me (hate me) You're the inspiration I need Doubt me (doubt me), hate me (hate me) You’re all the inspiration that I need My life, my body, my pride You have no say My life, my body, my pride You have no say My life (my life), my body (my body), my pride You have no say My life (my life), my body (my body), my pride You don't have a say Facing what consumes you Is the only way to be free Though I'm still far from perfection I stay relevant, I’m still vigilant I have so much more to say I have so much more to fight for I’ve used your lack of expectation As my awakening, its my ability to live forever By my own command To be vehement, remain confident Doubt me (doubt me), hate me (hate me) You're the inspiration I need Doubt me (doubt me), hate me (hate me) You're the inspiration I need Doubt me (doubt me), hate me (hate me) You're the inspiration I need Doubt me (doubt me), hate me (hate me) You’re all the inspiration that I need Your doubt, it fuels me Your hate, it drives me Your doubt, it fuels me Your hate, it drives me The challenge ignites me You make me fight harder Your doubt, it fuels me Your hate, it drives me The challenge ignites me You make me fight harder You make me fight (harder)

Live for this (live, live) Live for this Live for this (live, live) If you don't live for something you'll die for nothing Through the best and the worst The struggle, the sacrifice For the true who've remained and the new blood Motivation, undying allegiance Striving through the hardship and affliction Every drop of blood Every bitter tear Every bead of sweat I live for this Every drop of blood Every bitter tear Every bead of sweat I live for this Every drop of blood Every bitter tear Every bead of sweat I live for this Every drop of blood Every bitter tear Every bead of sweat I live for...

The question they keep asking me "How can one so young be so bitter and angry?" Well, the answer is plain to see Just look around at this world that we're living in Its die and let die, take or be taken from And there's nowhere to run Who do we look to? What have we done? These times have taken the best from us (All I see is killing) Another day, another vendetta (There is so much suffering) Another day, another vendetta I see the homeless standing out on the streets On every corner, they're asking for money I try to help them whenever I can't But sometimes I can't afford to help myself I see diseases and modern plagues of our time The greed of our leaders have made them blind To our problems, they spend millions over seas While people right here are fighting wars everyday (All I see is killing) Another day, another vendetta (There is so much suffering) Another day, another vendetta (All I see is killing) Another day, another vendetta (There is so much suffering) Another day, another vendetta Another day, another vendetta (Another day, another vendetta) All you can do is stay close to what is true to you Stay close to what is true to you All you can do is stay close to what is true to you Stay close to what is true to you Never let go of what you strive for Hold tight, never let go Never let go of what you strive for Never think you can't make a change (All I see is killing) Another day, another vendetta (There is so much suffering) Another day, another vendetta (All I see is killing) Another day, another vendetta (There is so much suffering) Another day, another vendetta

Do it! Yeeah! Some scars are meant to be worn with pride Everyday is knowledge to use in life A lesson lived is a lesson learned Setbacks used to propel me forward Misjudgement taken as force to do right A better outlook a mindset of power Each day resolve and reform A lesson lived is a lesson learned You've got to fend for yourself A lesson lived is a lesson learned Everyday is a lesson A lesson lived is a lesson learned You've got to fend for yourself A lesson lived is a lesson learned Everyday is a lesson Said so many things that I wish I could retract I got my issues, I've got my demons Finished what I began and finally saw It's how you use the knowledge you've been given Stood tall when others would have turned and run Put my work in when everyone quit Claw and tear for everything I have And I've only just begun A lesson lived is a lesson learned You've got to fend for yourself A lesson lived is a lesson learned Everyday is a lesson A lesson lived is a lesson learned You've got to fend for yourself A lesson lived is a lesson learned Everyday is a lesson

In this very moment, agony exists Unbeknowst to an unforgiving force Some pray, some bed, without consolation The pure lie beneath us while the scum walk the earth Why can't we heal them? Why can't we see them? Can we keep hoping? No one knows for sure Blamelessly renouncing, guilt has no bearing I must believe that there is a better way Beholder of justice Who have you abandoned? Beholder of justice Why have you forgotten us? Why have you forgotten us? Why? Why must the innocent die? If I could reverse this I swear I would I would take the pain away, I swear to you Broken souls and misery it seems we're too far gone Now we can only ask and wish for our complete redemption Beholder of justice Who have you abandoned? Beholder of justice Why have you forgotten us? Why? Does such innocence suffer While the evil prospers Why? Beholder of justice Why have you forgotten us? How can I stand by your judgement? How can I stand by your judgement? How can I stand by your judgement? Beholder of justice Who have you abandoned? Beholder of justice Why have you forgotten us?

Another memory and I'm asking myself: Why can't I let the past be the past? Once and for all take a hold of the future And not let it control what I aspire to have I see where my decisions have brought me What's done is done and its time to start again Can't let it tear me in two, or waste me away I gotta believe Cause this is now (now!) How can I change tomorrow if I can't change today? This is now (now!) If I control myself I control my destiny This is now (now!) How can I change tomorrow if I can't change today? This is now (now!) If I control myself I control my destiny What I've seen and what I've been through Has made me who I am There was a time in my life Where I had no desire to carry on I couldn't see a place for me Or a will to survive I never thought to rely on myself Or the beliefs that I had denied But this is now (now!) How can I change tomorrow if I can't change today? This is now (now!) If I control myself I control my destiny This is now (now!) How can I change tomorrow if I can't change today? This is now (now!) If I control myself I control my destiny If I control myself I control my tomorrow I got to change today Cause this is now! Now! (now!) Now! (now!) This is now! How can I change tomorrow if I can't change today? I must control myself if I'm to control my destiny Cause this is now! This is now! This is now (now!) How can I change tomorrow if I can't change today? This is now (now!) If I control myself I control my destiny This is now (now!) How can I change tomorrow if I can't change today? This is now (now!) If I control myself I control my destiny

If they said they knew the truth They lied No one said my faith wouldn't be questioned Been driven to the brink Because the truth is too hard to accept When you face your mortal enemy Who ever said I needed you (lied) Who ever said you knew the truth (lied) Who ever thought they knew my faith (lied) And if they think they know now, they fucking lie They lie Where are all your answers now That you've been called out? I kneel down and mourn for what we had I can't be there for you now Hear my voice of contention It's sad you made me this way Hear my voice of contention It's so hard to see this end Who ever said I needed you (lied) Who ever said you knew the truth (lied) Who ever thought they knew my faith (lied) And if they think they know now, they fucking lie You think you know the truth You lie Where are all your answers now That you've been called out? I kneel down and mourn for what we had I can't be there for you now

The time has come to deny your ways To rid ourselves of the parasites Shedding dead weight, reclaiming what's ours Taking each moment with force again No crosses to bear, no time to be wasted A fearless approach to oppression A constant attack to never retreat from With no other choice but resistence What will it take? What will it take? What will it take? You must choose or be chosen for What will it take? What will it take? What will it take? Choose or be chosen Its all that we ask, for what we demand The decisions we make we will live by Proving your weakness Denouncing your claims Your feeble attempts to demean us What more can you do, You're against the wall Your lies will be heard for the last time Say what you will it's only in vain This is that justice I fought to attain What will it take? What will it take? What will it take? You must choose or be chosen for What will it take? What will it take? What will it take? Choose or be chosen What will it take? What will it take? What will it take? You must choose or be chosen for What will it take? What will it take? What will it take? Choose or be chosen (What will it take) Choose (choose) What will it take Choose (choose) Choose or be chosen

Give me something real Give me back those years Give me peace of mind Give me something more Strength, to deny you Trust, in my instincts Breathe, when I'm drowning Life, when I'm lying dead Hearts, mend the pieces Dreams, have been shattered Love crucified, forgiveness denied Strength, to deny you Trust, in my instincts Breathe, when I'm drowning Life, I must rise again Hearts, mend the pieces Dreams, have been shattered Love crucified, forgiveness denied Give me something real Give me back those years Give me peace of mind Give me something more I confide in no one Strength, to deny you Trust, in my instincts Breathe, when I'm drowning Life, when I'm lying dead Hearts, mend the pieces Dreams, have been shattered Love crucified, forgiveness denied The betrayal, so hard for the victim to fathom Burn every word, every page, every letter Confide in no one Confide in nothing No one, no one Confide in no one Oooh no one! Give me something real Give me back those years Give me peace of mind Something more
