BROKEN PROMISES
My word is everything to me
This promise I’ve made
I’ll stay true
My values, I hold up high
Integrity, sums up my life
Sure it’s your life and why should I care?
None of my business…no argument there
Say one thing then do another?
That’s the burden you’ll have to bare
What will you go against now?
What other statements have you made?
Is there any truth that you speak?
How can I believe anything you say?
What about the kids that look up to you?
What kind of message are you sending to them?
Isn’t there some kind of personal responsibility involved?
Where does it get you in the end?
Maybe you don’t care what other think
And maybe you don’t care if your words fall short
But, if it doesn’t mean that much to you, then don’t
claim
This message doesn’t need your support
We don’t need you to make a mockery of these ideals
But, give it the respect that it deserves
Whether you claim Vegan, Christian, God-Free
anarchist, animal rights, Straight Edge…you’d better
follow it thru if you want my respect…MY RESPECT!
My Respect!
My Respect!
My Respect!
Black Horizon
You've hit rock bottom
Nowhere to turn
No friends left to help
Rehab will be your salvation
Just saying you're in
Makes you feel better
That first committment
You feel you're cured
Black Horizon
looking forward falling back
Black Horizon
looking forward falling back
Well guess what
You come down off your high
and detox sets in
you begin to realize it's not as easy as you
thought
You do your best to follow the program
you try your hardest to make it work
but, it's too tough and you're too weak
Another failure leaves
1 out of 100 people make it
and then they relapse
Rehab doesn't work
If you don't have the intelligence to stay
away from drugs, you won't have the will to get off them.
Trapped
In Your Mind
Have you ever thought about your life
after you've taken a life?
The guilt, the time, your conscience
Plenty of time to think
about what you've done
in your cell, in your mind
What about the family of your victim?
How do you face them?
What will you do? What will you say?
I'm sorry just isn't good enough.
You'll relive that moment a thousand times in your mind as you stare at the wall.
You're future is bleak as you watch your back
You've taken the fall.
And if you get out
There won't be a day
that goes by
When it's not on your mind
Will
you want all that?
Next
time you drink and drive
Think about it.
We Can't Be Silenced
Yeah, it seems like we keep screaming about the same old shit
but, we'll keep screaming until our efforts make a difference!
and for all the dreams that are broken
and all the lives they take
We'll push back harder
in order to enact change
And we can't be silenced
we can't be silenced
No!
We'll let the world know about our enemies
and we'll do something about it to stop these tragedies
And we can't be silenced
we can't be silenced
we can't be silenced
we can't be silenced
As the deaths go on
As the disease spreads
As the noose tightens
We'll be there until the end
we can't be silenced
we can't be silenced
Lifelong Dreams
You were gonna go to college
You were gonna get your dream job
You were gonna meet the perfect girl
But drugs and booze are all you saw
Lifelong dreams
Forgotten and lost
Lifelong dreams
Forgotten and lost
Replace your happy family
With drug addicts on the street
Replace your happy home
With a cardboard box with dirt under your feet
Replace your happy memories of family and friends
With memories of overdoses and death
And tragedy in the end
Lifelong dreams
Forgotten and lost
Lifelong dreams
Forgotten and lost
"what happened to my life?"
"what happened to my life?!?"
Lifelong dreams
Forgotten and lost
Lifelong dreams
Forgotten and lost
