Burn 01:43
I’m not afraid To say I am afraid sometimes I live on my knees So that you can watch me Watch me rise And though it looks like I stand alone I always know to whom I can turn I am the Defeated Decade And I will watch the world burn

Disbelief 01:53
I keep trying to convey the message that means the most to me. But every time I look around i stand on my own. Violence and greed are worse than ever before But what makes this worse for wear No one seems to care. i still hold on to what I believe I STILL SAY NO To causing anger and grief I stand in disbelief I still stand behind Every word I write And every word I say Stems from my disbelief My angry heart, my angry mind, Give me the fuel to make something of my life. I just cannot believe What motivates you I can't conceive Is it fame, a bigger name? Grab the cash and leave? Your words lack credibility Your songs originality Won't even look me in the eye Trip over your style Choking on your words Why do it? Why do it if your heart's not in it? I'M NOT ALONE How much do you truly mean? Stand up for your scene.

Mirror 03:45
I take a good look In the mirror And I watch myself weep For my society Succumbs to fear And it won’t get any better At least they won’t get the best of me Every day I watch the world And every day I watch it burn A message sanctioned by the state Only speaks of fear and hate When will we let it go When will we finally know Equality in this day and age Walls put up by our convictions Cast in concrete around the world Dividing humanity Leaving only pain and hurt We let ourselves be terrorized But when will we realise The people always hold the key We hold the key They will never get the best of me I´ll still die for my ideas They will never get the Best of me I stand free, I stand fucking free We hold the key

0495 01:38
I've seen you fall Over and over I've seen you crawl All the way back home But I've seen you pick yourself up Seen you get back on your feet I'm proud to call you my friend I offered a helping hand in times of need I helped you out when you were low Positive minds in a Positive scene Have always been my goal Is this where the story ends No Young and angry nothing better to do Oh-Four-Nine-Five hardcore crew This is the scene that has taught me A one life one chance mentality One life one chance Don't take it for granted One life one chance Hold out your helping hands

My Words 03:46
I hold my breath and swallow my words I try to speak my mind but my heart isn't sure I look around do I stand alone Where were you You said you'd be here Where is the positive message You told us all to adhere All I see in the world is senseless violence This is not the way we want it to be I have one thing to say To the ones who try to break me My words will remain My message to this day I know, I won't I won't stand alone No I won't stand alone I live, today Until things swing back my way I won't stand alone Someone or something please help me out So much ignorance lingers around Priests will tell you that you need the word of christ Psychs will tell you you need pills to feel fine But live life as you feel, not as you're shown We're all living proof that you can do it on your own I have one thing to say To the ones who try to break me My words will remain My message to this day I know, I won't I won't stand alone No I won't stand alone I live, today Until things swing back my way I won't stand alone You say you hate this world I won't pretend I don't undestand you But whilst you shut yourself in There's still so much we could do My words will remain My message to this day I stand against your rage

Severed 02:23
I may not be the person the world wants to see I may not always have made you proud I don't have it all figured out But this is who I am Faithful to myself until the end This is who I am Faithful to myself I'm not the type of guy to bite the bullet when I cannot see a reason why I envy those who care to stop and think I keep resisting until I sink Pushing forward Severed the link between who I am And who I used to be No fear, no hate, every day I strive to educate and create For the world to embrace this Would be my one wish Sever the link
7.
Resistance 04:02
Who will you follow Who will you choose to lead When there is no perspective And the future seems so bleak When our philosophy is a distant dream of unity Will you choose a different path The path of most resistance We will resist, we will resist We will carry this burden We will carry on When the thrown stones Have lost all meaning When the people forget The reason for your screaming When our philosophy is a distant dream of unity Will you choose a different path The path of most resistance Resistance We will fight back We will resist, we will resist We will carry this burden We will carry on Hold me closer hold me over the edge Push me under the surface I scratch Leave me hanging leave me in between Certainty of life and certainty of misery
