Some will never want to be something
No one really wants to be nothing
The world won’t stop for anyone
The world won’t stop
What’s here and now?
Shall I devour what feeds my soul or consume and identify?
The world won’t stop for anyone
The world won’t stop what’s here and now
The whole world
World bleeds divide
The whole world
World dreams unite
The doors are open come and play
Too bad we just complicate
It’s all we got for everyone
All we got this here and now
And if it matters why can’t we love?
Why does love not motivate?
It’s all we got for everyone
All we got this here and now
The whole world
World bleeds divide
The whole world
World dreams unite
We help design the road
We help design the road we blaze the path we make
In stone
We help design the road
We help design the road we blaze the path we make
In stone
The whole world
World bleeds divide
The whole world
World dreams unite
The whole world
World bleeds divide
The whole world
World dreams unite
Unite

Baby, you got that fire
Child, under the moonlight
You got the matches
I got the gasoline
We got the knowledge
We came to torch the scene
Baby, you got that desire
Child, who makes the earth shake
We got the matches
We got the gasoline
We got the passion
We came to torch the scene
Woah woah woah woah woah
Woah woah woah woah woah
We got the matches
We got the gasoline
We got the power
We came to torch the scene
We got the matches
We got the gasoline
We got the power
We came to torch the scene

Verse
This time I’ll find
a space for peace of mind
but first I’ll fight or die
no time for false liberation
All hail the age of hatred
the great divide is at our door
I won't abide these fascists
Fuck em all on tile floors
Pre Chorus
We can say the world
is not a place we want to live in
but choose to face the blues
and lose but never give in
Chorus
What’s not the place to give a fuck?
What’s not the time to make shit happen?
What’s not the place to make a difference
To make a difference now?
Verse
This life is built on pretense
"all is fine" is fucking false
you are your only life raft
get in the boat and fucking row!
This time I’ll find
a space for peace of mind
but first I’ll fight or die
no time for false liberation

Beneath the endless sky
I find my stride in a world that wants me to die
Lurking through the backstreets
Working for the time thieves
And running for my life
I’ve waited for too long
and Ive got fences to climb
I’ve waited hand and foot
on a dream that’s do or die
Do or die
Pre Chorus
If I could let your drown for a little while
Would you stand up?
Chorus
Wasted I'm not here anymore
(I'm not here anymore)
Gated I'm not seen anymore
(I'm not seen anymore)
Verse
These dotted lines of the empire’s lies I serve to remain alive
Lurking through the backstreets
Working for the time thieves
And running for my life
I’ve waited for too long
and I’ve got fences to climb
I’ve waited hand and foot
on a dream Dead or alive
Dead or Alive

Verse
Lately I've been drawn to
a sense of longing for bullshit or forgiveness?
It's so hard to make my mind up these days
A father, a mother
just kids at your core the both
you're lonely and angry
a tired cycle of broken bones
Chorus-
What's that feeling
I keep feeling?
I'll never get enough
What's that feeling
I keep feeling?
I'll never get enough
Love
Verse
Days turn to miles
you try to find some sense to it all
hopefully yet shameful
you're not so sure you forgive at all
but I know you love me
or so that you say
cuz I'm not sure that I can be aware
of anything at all

I can see myself on fire can’t see myself a liar what I think is so important just betrays me
Pay me
Name me
Take me
Break me
Slay me
Make me
Until I have no mind of my own
I’ve worked so hard to be a star
Fucken hard to be a god
A pawn
A fawn
A tough guy too
almost the end
still on the mend
Still on the ledge
If you only knew
Pre-Chorus
Pray that I don't find you
You will tell them
That you were born to lose
Chorus
If we can find the truth and never stray away
But truth ain’t true
and you ain’t you
and you can make that change
Verse

Outro
So when we drown our sorrows
there’s no tomorrow
And nothing is guaranteed
Just that light inside don’t let it die before it’s time to fade away

Verse
One to many bad beats tonight
A compulsive habit to shut off my overdrive
A quick fix-it brain in deficit
A disorder of attention
There's no thoughts that I can skip
So watch out
Life is waiting
Pre-Chorus
I don’t give a fuck but I do
Locked the door but didn’t have to
Spent my time trying to love you
Forgot my mind now I forgot you
Chorus
Well I'm trying not to let drown
Someone told me so
Yeah I'm trying not to let you drown
Someone broke that mold
So watch out
Life is waiting

Verse
Time don't let me drown
on a seafood carousel
I've got too much left here to do
A devil's ransom signed in blood
call it righteous, honest or is it
my own sense of right and wrong?
Chorus
A brave act I remember
Tired eyes with dried tears
Say that you might not make it home
would keep you honest
So we tell ourselves
Verse
Heavy is the crown
of an empire built on pills
An island of slaves dependent on you
Sell your children for just one
more hit of heaven
Is it now worth your son and daughter?
They depend on you
Chorus
A brave act I remember
Tired eyes with dried tears
Say that you might not make it home
would keep you honest
So we tell ourselves

And it’s so
You must go
And it’s true
you’ll never know
No more feels
No more chills
When your gone
The bitter pill
Time in jail
Time in hell
When you’re scarred
You know
It well
No more tears
No more fears
When your gone
The bitter pill
The bitter pill
The bitter pill
The bitter pill
The bitter pill

If you're going out the window
Take me with you cuz I fear a fall
All I say

Take me home
Chorus-
Way back when
I was foolish and lord I was drunk
But Oh my god
Lord it was beautiful
Verse
If you're going out the window
Take me with you cuz I fear a fall
All I say

Take me home
Staring at the ceiling
See my life in a state of repose
All I Say
take me back
take me back
take me back
take me back
Take me home
Chorus
Way back when
I was foolish and lord I was drunk
But Oh my god
Lord it was beautiful

Fear begets my emotions
I refuse to be stuck on this floor
All I Say
take me back
take me back
take me back
take me back
Take me home
