Have Heart
Album • 2006
Ambitions fall, complications hail All my insecurities all fucking prevail Do I turn to a drink or into what I want to be? Is a substance gonna be the crutch thats going to set me fucking free? The pressure rises and I feel the strain The doubt begins and confusions reign Directionless, where do I turn? Don't fail me now, the one thing that I've learned I've learned the strength to fucking push it aside We know, we know, I got the strength inside You know I got it and I know it so I'll show it To live with pain The choice is in my hands That's just an anchor that'll drown you man We know, we know, you got the strength inside to defeat the problems of our lives without the crutch cause we all know that life is hard enough as it is

A breaking in spirit, a breaking in promise, a breaking in me How can I find the peace inside of a world I can see? Taking and taking all for ourselves, taking and taking It's dragging me down, deeper and deeper Watch me sink like a stone Like a stone (like a stone) Like a stone (like a stone) Into a sea of selfishness Selfishness (selfishness) Where me is more and you is less Vanity, it's insanity We eat the shit that's fed to us We stomach it, we embellish it, and confuse our love with lust Can we find another way? The way that goes against the grain Abstain The grain The grain The ugliness, licentiousness, the love that's just skin deep (please get me out) Before I become just a memory of what I used to be Get me the fuck out We're deaf and blind to our age's cry We refuse to fucking hear Not learning to grow, just losing the one I see in the fucking mirror But can we find another way? The way that goes against the grain Abstain The grain The grain The egoists, the narcissists, the waters we wade in (please get me out) Before I become just a memory of what I used to be Get me the fuck out Of a world that's doing its best, night and day, to make me everybody else Please take me out of a world without any heart (take me out) When they see my hope and then they rip it apart (take me out) Of a world that serves just our fucking selves Can you tell me where does love fit in? Where does love fit in? Where does love fit in? Where does love fit in? Remember what love is

Caked up and faked up, she's obsessed with the outside Nothing earned, too afraid to fail, so she lead a hollow life void of insight Loving what you see but you fear what you think because between your mind and your body, there's a missing fucking link that leaves you vulnerable, susceptible to pain You're a garden of potential submerged in the rain True beauty can't be seen with the eyes Armed, armed with a mind I'm going to strengthen my action with thought Make use of the gift that I got and walk fearless because I'm armed with a mind A weak offense when you step to this Mind over matter is power over fists I walk fearless because I'm armed with a mind I walk fearless with a mind far greater than a fucking fist Spineless and mindless, you flex your muscles and not your fucking head A deep man with a strong point made without one thoughtful word said Huff and puff, the fierce fists will do the talking, can't speak for yourself so your crew's with you walking Tell me what's worth fighting for and it better be something greater than an evening of the score Boy, your true strength sleeps behind your eyes It's the absent minded fool who's afraid to think, to extend an open hand, to dare to earn a thing It's the gift inside your head not to take for granted because an unexamined life is a seed unplanted As the animals, they can't reason but as humans we can, so are you just a wild animal or a rational man? Our bodies take you nowhere, might does not make right There's a gift inside your head called your mind

Fucked it up again but I'm not looking the other way I see my errors and I know I'm wrong, but it's going to take way more than that to change my ways and start thinking straight, be the person I aspire to be Own up to myself Turn my life around Make amends to my friends, I owe it to myself and them Pledge allegiance to myself so I must fucking say: I will change No more selfish ways, no more for number one It's done Arrogance is of the past, so I must fucking say: I will change So are you going to try, or is it going to be the same old fucking song? I must find, I'll strive for humility Don't lose your way It's time we really take a look at ourselves and start caring about someone else

He was a kind hearted man in a hateful world and he caught everything that life ever hurled Like the oldest mountain he always stood so tall Forever showing what it means to be unbreakable Paycheck to paycheck, three jobs a day He's the ransom for his family's pain In the coldest world with the warmest heart, he puts to shame what you consider hard He's the man you don't see in the mirror While the world was screaming death he chose a different song to hear He's the band that's playing while the ship sinks The song of hope he forever sings He taught the sun to shine Now please teach this son to shine How can this world never break your warm heart in this frigid fucking place? You're like the river: always flowing and growing never changing, rearranging How can this world never take your solid stance in these turbulent times? You're like the tree in the burning forest that never was burned down And what he said to me was this: "Just love the world that won't love you back" Old man take a look at my life, I'm nothing like you are Take a look at my life, I'm so very fucking far From the person I aspire to be Unbreakable

"I remember the man who just wanted life to live and let live While we're searching for our lives" Black Elk: Never should you forget, people want to see you bleed Sink not to their level, surrender only what they need

Let me tell you a story about a backfired rocketship Some trees just can't bloom if the seed of potential never splits Some trees just can't bloom They never will Born to a life of a bright future with every chance to excel Instead he took this fucking chances with the cheapest goddamn thrills He'd do anything, he'd take anything for a moment's satisfaction Sweet seconds of pleasure could never measure to a lifetime of addiction In the dark night, he tries to remember a future once so bright "It won't happen to me, it won't happen to me, it won't happen to me" Thats what they always fucking say The man who thinks he's above misery, hurt and harm and pain is the man who lives his life tightly bound as a slave in chains of a neverending abyss, of an artificial bliss And he lives just like a slave for giving his life away for nothing

Just take a fucking good look at just what you did You set a raging fire in the heart of a kid Your words, and the message you sent Are held in my heart as they burn inside my head It burns, burning inside my head Even if you chose a different path to tread I guess it was something inside It was something more to us You took a different path from the one you once set But that's the cycle of life so take your steps ahead That doesn't change one thing in my life I'll never cease to keep your words alive I still believe in what was said I'll hold on 'til the last thread I still believe in what was said Your absence doesn't bring my values' death I guess it was something inside It was something more to us I guess it was something inside It was something more to us A "hero's fall" will never change what I think 'Cause at the core of my heart this is something more than ink Something more than ink On a page, on a shirt, on the back of my hand It's something written in stone Words we wrote in stone

I've seen the free which you enslave The walking which you keep chained I've seen the growth which you keep caged and I've seen the minds that go un-raged I've seen the body robbed of soul, just to fuel your control I've seen the standing knocked to their knees, and I see the human beings you treat like machines Machinist I am not, I am not, I am not machine Machinist I am, I am, I am human being A stagnant life's a victory for the lover of life that never breeds Perpetuate, obliterate those addicted to living on their knees The dealers deplete you, the dealers beat you like a drum without a tone You're just skin and bones until you say no more (no more) Unlike the silent machines who won't settle the score (the score) Unlike the lifeless objects they want you to be You want your object, well you fucking got it I could be the knife in your back The noose around your neck I could be the bullet racing through your skull but I'd rather be the force of my spoken word Let your voices form the weapons No silence No compliance No compliance In defiance of the rape of growth

"Goddamn" he said, "I promised myself I'd never feel this fucking way again” This world has got me praying on my knees for one peaceful thought in my mind, my stride, my life My time is consumed with a thousand thoughts Flying free Like a flock of birds with no direction or intention of finding home It's so hard to think It's so hard to change When this world doesn't see you any other way In this world, they choose to see me, they choose to see me like a setting sun So it's up to me, I have to see me like a rising one In my days somebody told me that the rain would always come, always come to wash away the pain But nothing changes and this world still wants me down Wants me on my knees praying in that rain "Born this way, die this way" I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees I'd rather die on my feet so you can watch me Watch me rise with the things we carry: The loss The scars The weight of heavy hearts, the things we carry So I say to the slaves of depression: carry on and sing the sweet redeeming song about living this life free and long It goes like this: Watch me, watch me, watch me rise Watch me, watch me, watch me rise Watch me, watch me, watch me rise Watch me, watch me, watch me rise For miles and miles
