It Starts With Us (Part 2)
So many voices reach up to heaven, For only God can create in us a hope worth holding
While their bodies are broken and tortured by hands created for a better purpose than this
We stand idly by, Reading reports and crying indifferent tears, It sickens me to my core
But who am I to criticize, I too lay at night thanking the stars that I am safe inside a home
Schools are brought to their knees, By children so angry they would wreak havoc on themselves
Churches are safe havens to those with a white blindfold so preciously placed over their eyes
Streets are covered...

It Starts With Us (Part 1)
In a world so certain of itself, Everyone is so turned around and lost inside themselves
In a world so broken down, Everyone is so determined to remain perfect and in one piece
We’ve been beaten into a thousand pieces, Put back together with lies and misplaced faith
We’ve been at war for a billion years, Yet we’re made to believe in the art of peace
Color became a separating factor in an equation made by a god no one knows
Sexuality is a hopeless roll of the dice, And we’re made to fear our own
Gender hopelessly pegs us into a position we could never dig ourselves...

Every Silent Moment
If I should challenge your faith, I apologize for ever criticizing your lies
If I should challenge your love, I apologize for ever criticizing your ignorance
If I should challenge your life, I apologize for ever criticizing your struggle
If I should challenge your hope, I apologize for ever criticizing your power
I feel I’ve left everything behind, Wandering through the endless seas of sand
I once landed in an hourglass, Inside my mind but inside my wretched soul
The time passes oh so slow, Creating in me a maze for my memory to follow through
With a white...

The War
So hateful, helpless and unaided in my quest for peace
I’ve written this battle a thousand times again and again
But I’ve never written about the war raging inside my eyes
The demons I see, The breath I feel, The life leaving my lungs
I’ve written this battle a thousand times again and again
But I’ve never written about the war raging inside my eyes
The demons I see, The breath I feel, The life leaving my lungs

Your Guilt (Part 2)
You took my choice away, You took my life out of my hands and handed me my insanity
I don’t feel a thing anymore, How could you do this to an innocent heart, Feeling no remorse
You took away every hope I ever dreamed of consuming, I had dreams of changing the world
Now as I rise from my knees for the first time, With hatred in my veins and power in my lungs
You will know how I am
You will learn of your guilt
You will know who I am
You will learn of your sentence
Hell could never contain you, Death could never contain me, I am the devil inside your...

Your Guilt (Part 1)
In a forced speech, Your teeth chatter and your voice stumbles over every word
What led to this moment, What choices did we choose to make this so fucking wrong
Rewind this hourglass back a thousand years and you’ll mark the beginning
I’ve hated you through a thousand centuries, Through a thousand of my lives
You will feel my wrath
You will know my rage
You will feel my pain
You will know my shame
You tortured my soul for so fucking long, I thought life was supposed to be unfair
You had me down on my knees, Begging for a way out, For you to bring...

Heavy Hearts and Tired Eyes (Part 2)
I’ve warned my lovers to stay away from my mortal heart
To have them broken down in a thousand beautiful ways
I’ve warned my family to stay away from my mortal soul
To have them disappointed at their blood led so far astray
Who am I to say what’s right, Who am I to say what’s wrong
I’ve strayed so far from the light, I’ve never been that strong
Who am I to say what you should do, Who am I oh who am I
But a bitter soul, With a heavy heart, Open hands and tired eyes
Listen or don’t, My conscience is tortured a thousand times over
Heed my warnings or...

Heavy Hearts and Tired Eyes (Part 1)
In a world so hateful, So angered and bitter to the bone
How do you hang on, To sanity and innocence inside
In a world so regretful, So sorry and unforgiven to the end
How do you hold on, To faith and hope of a better day
Life is never a constant, Death is always a remainder
We’re held down underneath a sky of devils and smoke
Our homes are burning, Our lives fading with the wind
Where is the savior we were promised the day we were born
Blame is thrown from brother to brother, Taken out on children
Hatred is taken out on loving sisters, Begging...

The Lion's Den
So fearless, You stand up to me against all the odds
Your cowardice is disguised by false bravado
You’ve fooled your friends, family, and bystanders
You’ll never fool me, I know your true colors
You’re a shade of grey that I’ve never witnessed before
Painted across my eyes, Blinding me in indifference
Don’t force yourself upon me, My soul is never that famished
I’ve drank deep in your well, And was poisoned for all eternity
You were everything I loved, I worshipped your steps
Until I realized your path led to the heart of the lion’s den
But...

Carry Me Home
Another day spent on my knees, Crying out for you to come back home
I cannot do this again, I cannot spend another day here inside myself
Another night spent on my knees, I have never felt so alone
I cannot do this again, I cannot spend another night inside this hell
What can I do, What can I say, To convince God to let you go
Where did you go, Why did you leave, I miss you too much
What can I give, What can I offer, To convince God to give you back
Why did you go, Why can’t you leave, I’ll die without you here
A thousand moments spent searching for...

Gin and Cheap Lipstick
I could see our lives burning to the fucking ground
I could see you walk away a thousand fucking times
I could see your face turn a thousand fucking shades
I could see my hands cut a thousand fucking marks
I could see my eyes cry a thousand fucking tears
I could see your mouth sneer a thousand fucking smiles
I could see your hands cut me a thousand fucking times
I could see my life crumble a thousand fucking levels
But I never saw this coming, How fucking foolish was I
To believe a heartless lie, Covered in gin and cheap lipstick
I could see you walk away a thousand fucking times
I could see your face turn a thousand fucking shades
I could see my hands cut a thousand fucking marks
I could see my eyes cry a thousand fucking tears
I could see your mouth sneer a thousand fucking smiles
I could see your hands cut me a thousand fucking times
I could see my life crumble a thousand fucking levels
But I never saw this coming, How fucking foolish was I
To believe a heartless lie, Covered in gin and cheap lipstick

Judged and Forgiven
I was nothing but a witness to your hate crime
I saw the blood drip out of your blackened eyes
I was nothing but a victim in your hate crime
I saw the tears drip out of my blackened eyes
Broken hearts and cold glances, A parting of skin
Mistaken and misunderstood, A tragedy I crave
You were my drug, My veins, My monetary cost
You paid it, You paid the fucking cost, You faded away
In ashes, In the fire, I burned you to the fucking ground
And as your eyes looked upon me, I saw a glimmer of regret
Pity, You could have shown that yesterday or a...
