You thought it was killed in the past Yet it’s just under the surface My will to choose my destiny Won’t let you take that from me (Chorus) I don’t know how you can sleep Left so many with nothing There’s one thing you can’t take from me They robbed us and gave to the rich Never even asked our permission We’ve punched in and punched out on their time Now we’re taking back our lives (Chorus) Time will take it all away Alive, this is mine Time will take us all away Alive, this won’t die Hey. We have a choice This is a call to conscience Reclaim our voice (repeats) You’d drain me for all that I have Bury me without hesitation There’s one thing you won’t get from me Won’t kill my imagination (Chorus - repeats)

(Chorus) What would make this perfect? I’m afraid that doesn’t exist I fooled myself so many times I thought there was an end I must pull myself aside Will to learn and will to live To find life and beauty In the imperfection I find myself obsessing On little things that don’t mean much It’s hard sometimes to let go when, When you’re mind is so damned focused Divert my attention I must get off this useless trip And come back to the present Embrace the imperfection (Chorus) You’ll never really get there It’s just a tale you’re tryin’ to live But in the midst of your plans Is your life that happens Must I choose obsession over taking time? Can I step away from it all? Can I live my life? Am I entrapped by my compulsions? Am I just wasting time? Am I just wasting time? Unnecessary obsession Unnecessary compulsion Unnecessary obsession, unnecessary waste of time (Chorus) Like a cat chasing her own tail A cycle of self-deceit You believe there’s an ending Can’t start until it’s done Like a cat chasing her own tail You’ll never really reach the end So stop chasing your own tail And try to see what you’re missing Unnecessary obsession Unnecessary compulsion Unnecessary obsession, unnecessary waste of time There’s no such thing as perfect It’s just a chase without an end I must divert my focus Control the obsession, control the obsession

Undeniable 06:22
Dreamer spoke for welfare of the oppressed Kings would make him an example to the rest Dared to dream beyond his prison walls And lit a fire that burned into us (Chorus) Mind would not let him end Fighting for what could not be denied The masters aimed to take his spirit away What had begun could not be undone. A new era was underway Dared to dream beyond his prison walls Lit a fire that burned into us (Chorus) Could not, could not be denied, could not be denied. Lying still in the cage of my captor King of my mind, of my will I am master Lying still in the cage of my captor King of my mind, I am still my master Lying still in the cage of my captor King of my mind, I am still my master

If Only 06:42
I saw him again He looked well, was at peace It’d been quite a while but I found him again I said to him, “We thought you had died.” “So, where have you been? We have so much to say.” I have something to tell you I think I understand you I appreciate your struggles, your sacrifice These did not go unnoticed I sat with him We caught up on the past Then he said to me, “This is only a dream.” But I have something to tell you While we’re here together I am sorry that I blamed you or spoke poorly of you I know that you gave everything you had I can begin to see the adversity and stack of odds you beat I have begun to understand your pain, your pain It just seemed so real Though I knew it was a dream As if time stood still If only for one moment Then I said, “I miss you.” Then I turned and he was gone I looked up, he was gone. I woke up instantly I woke up, he was gone. The tears came out of me Emotions flowed uncontrollably and It’s strange even for me But it helps me find the closure that I need You were there for me I’ll be here for you…even if only in my dreams Even if only in my dreams

Obsession of a dream since I was just fourteen Same at twenty-four, I just couldn’t let it go Make it all the way Failure not an option I made up my mind that I was gonna see it through What I didn’t know I was living for an idea Never did appreciate where I was at For a realized dream, the cost is colossal Giving up my life in the present time (Chorus) Not the Final Destination But the journey’s where we are Not the final destination But the journey’s where we live Yeah- It’s got you, can’t breathe There’s something there that I want It gets better…You think! Is it something here that I have? Yeah- It’s not the way you think Concede at hands that liberate me They say ‘It is our nature to succeed …and the weak only concede’ But do we hold tight? Obsession ….Or is it life? Never good enough I always wanted more, then Couldn’t be fulfilled ‘til I reached that prize Then I found out what I took for granted The people in my life and our precious time What is at the core? The need for self-worth It’s how I told myself I’d be alive Captivating me until I let go And the dream fell short of a destructive crash (Chorus - repeats)

In Memory 02:50

Dagger in my back I pull it out and stitch the wound I’ve walked through the fire And exhaled the toxic fumes (Chorus) And I always felt some pain March on, stand up straight A bat straight to my head Sop the blood until it’s dry I Stand before my judgers Spoke the truth and was denied (Chorus) And I always felt some pain Just kept on standing straight What difference does it make? Life deals these severe blows Sometimes it feels As if a force so strong was holding me down and beating me Pain has morphed to numbness I don’t have to feel this I fly around outside my mind Not about entitlements Or “did I deserve this?” We rise again ‘cause we’re not done yet What difference does it make? Been here before, been here before, been here before …We’re not done yet We rise again. Never had entitlements We rise again. We’re not done yet

Coexisting 06:12
What is it that you are fighting for? Do you even know what you believe in? Why do you insist that all the others are wrong Just because they don’t believe what you’re saying How can you think there is only one way? Then turn around and profess free religion The blueprints are drawn for streamlining thought Now we must confide in what bonds us together (Chorus) Clones- Thinking the same, believing the same utopian dream We’re not the same- But there is a common thread running through us Powerful rule will depend on and thrive over a body of one People who move in a direction without dissent, dissent. Fear has driven us apart Time has come for a new start Can we see our likeliness? And allow our hearts and minds to be free And not oppress these for the ego Coexisting- with different views We must tolerate and bridge the gap between us! Acquisition is the goal under the flag of morality Resist the molding of a culture who demands a monopoly of faith Intuition is my tool and my thoughts are convictions And I’ll voice them if I please But I have no right to force them down your throat. No right to force them down your throat Why do you say you believe in love? Then omit the part about understanding How can you say there is only one way? It’s time to confide in what bonds us together (Chorus)

Fire in his yearning eyes A skip in his step, it seems Dreams so big, he gazes on Can’t contain this elation The whole world’s his playground Always on the move So full of hope and mystery With so much to prove (Chorus) And now’s he seen it He has taken the world for what it is Yet his fire still burns inside At a different height Now some years have passed him by The skin grows calloused as he’s tried and tried His fire tamed by reality But not enough to forgo his dream The whole world’s his battlefield Each day’s a fight Smaller still than what rages on in his mind (Chorus) And his fire still burns inside And his fire still burns inside at a different height Longing for those yesteryears When all hope had outnumbered fears Before the world he had called his own Turned tail and split, and left him alone Now he sees as he’s come of age With all he knows he won’t be the same Naiveté gone with innocence Still he tries to find his way (repeats)
11.
Get a grip if you think I’m gonna quit You’re mislead ‘cause I’m goin’ for it harder Movin’ on and I’m gonna prove you wrong I’d go insane if I were gonna play it safe Rearrange. Yes I’m happily deranged I rethought the way I thought that I was thinking We are taught that you gotta play it safe If you want to try and make a decent living How can you be sure that I’m wrong? You think I’m gonna play it your way So you think that to make it in this world Requires a certificate or a diploma And ya’ think that money is success and security regardless of the job Well, I think that life is to live And definitely not to be secured ‘Cause nothing’s secure and that’s for sure We’re really living on the edge How can you be sure that I’m wrong? You think I’m gonna play it your way I could never practice what you preach And I’m never gonna play it safe This wicked rift lives in my being There’s something deep that drives me There’s something pure, uncompromising. To just exist, I’d rather die How can you be sure that I’m wrong? You think I’m gonna play it your way I could never practice what you preach And I’m never gonna play it safe
