(Verse 1)
Shout it out, you know you want to and
Stand up now, you know you've got to and
Fight the crowd, like you ought to there's
Nowhere left to go. The world is
Compromised, over-comprised, too
Much franchise, too many lies, too
Complicated for our own good, you've
Got to speak out for what you should
(Pre-chorus)
Open your eyes, look out and see
Rise now and set the people free
There's no one left, just you and me
Get up and fight for what you believe!
(Chorus)
There's nowhere left for you now
Go ahead we're gonna take you down
And I don't know or care quite how
But we're coming for you now
So throw your
Cannonballs and shoot your guns
There's nothin' left you've got but to run
And we'll look into your eyes and watch you bleed
Until you set us free
(Verse 2)
Ring the bells, sound the alarms
The time has come for us to take charge and
Fight! (fight!) Fight for all that we need
Now Win! (win!) for our democracy
So get out of line, go overtime, push past your prime
There's no such thing as more crime
There's light coming from lantern three,
Not one for land or two for sea
(Pre-chorus)
Pick a new fight, get out and see
There's nothing left for you to leave
The fire's dead in our country so
Lift the curse to let us be!
(Chorus)
There's nowhere left for you now
Go ahead we're gonna take you down
And I don't know or care quite how
But we're coming for you now
So throw your sticks and stones to
Break our bones
There's no love for you here no more
And you'll look into our eyes and then you'll see
The power that runs free
(Bridge)
Break the walls and push on through,
The bureaucracy needs no proof
The light that keeps on shining through
Is light that's made more me and you and
Leave the owners to their beasts
There's only room now for the peace
(Chorus)
There's nowhere left for you now
Go ahead we're gonna take you down
And I don't know or care just how
But we're coming for you now
So throw your sticks and stones to
Break our bones
There's no love for you here no more
And you'll look into our eyes and finally see
The power of the free

The Best I Could Be
04:05
|

(Verse 1)
Doesn't matter anymore
I'm trying to get away from this
Sadness, sadness I thought that I would end up the
Gladdest, man it's hard to keep this
Going on
Everything you say or do is driving me into this
Madness, madness, before I never worried 'bout
Status and I can't keep this
Going on... Any more
(Verse 2)
Doesn't matter how I feel
Can't matter if it's not real
That's what you'd all like to think
Is it all really fake
Do I not have what it takes?
I want to do everything I can
Just to be with you
(Chorus)
I'm trying to be the best that I could ever be
I want you to know, I want you to see
How much I care for you
How much I want you to be happy
I want to be the best that I could ever be
I'm trying to get you to know
I'm trying to get you to see
Everything that I'd do
Just to be with you
(Verse 3)
Is there really much more for me to say
I'm trying to look at this from every possible way
I want to know what it feels like
To love someone who loves me too
And though I may have come at it a bit too strong
I'll do anything to right my wrongs
I want to show how much that I would do for you so I'm
Writing this song
(Chorus)
I'm trying to be the best that I could ever be
I want you to know, I want you to see
How much I care for you
How much I want you to be happy
I want to be the best that I could ever be
I'm trying to get you to know
I'm trying to get you to see
Everything that I'd do
Just to be with you
(Bridge)
Even though you may have loved me too
You made the call and all I could do was
Say okay but all I wanted to do was
Run away!
(Chorus)
I'm trying to be the best that I could ever be
I want you to know, I want you to see
How much I care for you
How much I want you to be happy
I want to be the best that I could ever be
I'm trying to get you to know
I'm trying to get you to see
Everything that I'd do
Just to be with you

Sixty Six Days
06:26
|
|||
(Intro)
(Verse 1)
From day one
She felt more free than she had really become
She was told to open her eyes
To find someone nice
(Verse 2)
Ripped and skipped
Was how she felt on day four
When she wasn't picked
And she opened her eyes
To look for a new life
(Chorus)
But in sixty six days she had to go
Far away from her home
Up into the milky way
Who ever said she had to stay?
(Verse 3)
Eighteen days up
She learned her diploma wouldn't make the cut
And she looked through those eyes
For a guiding light
To lead her to a new life
(Verse 4)
By thirty days
She began to lose most of her faith
She though about her fate
Where did she belong
All along?
(Chorus)
But in sixty six days she had to go
Far away from her home
Up into the milky way
Who ever said she had to stay
Up and up there she goes
Too far from her home
Up and up and up and away
Who ever said she had to stay?
(Verse 5)
Seven more days
There was no more food for her to make
Why didn't she use her eyes
To find a new life?
(Verse 6)
A new daybreak
She was determined to go the right way
She found someone nice
She used her eyes
(Chorus)
But in sixty six days she had to go
Far away from her home
Up into the milky way
Who ever said she had to stay?
Gone and gone but coming back
Giving herself some slack
Back on Earth from the milky way
Who ever said she had to stay?
(Verse 7)
But on day sixty six
She was standing on a corner on fifth
And she closed her eyes
And the sirens cried
As they gave her a ride
(Chorus)
'Cus in sixty six days she had to go
Far away from her home
Up into the milky way
Who ever said she had to stay?
Up and up there she goes
Too far from her home
Up there feeling all alone
Why did she have to go?

Execution
05:27
|
|||
(Intro)
(Verse 1)
Help me I've fallen in too deep
I don't know where this rabbit hole leads
If I go to wonderland so be it
But save the lies for the hypocrites
The world is against me yes I know
I'm not paranoid, it's not for show
I'm existential, take it slow
'Cus I don't live for you anymore
(Short instrumental)
(Verse 2)
Help me I've gotten out of line
What was it that I did this time?
I try to look but I cannot find
Any reason and no rhyme
(Chorus)
It's execution, don't you know?
I try to see but there's nothing to show
I try to learn but there's nothing to know
'Cus no one controls me no more
I try to fight when there's nothing to win
But I can't give up even though I'm pinned
And I can't explain if it's bad or good
But no one will bring me down like you could
(Verse 3)
The freedom of my mind
Is something only justice defines
I set out on a mission to find
Some new meaning in my life
And not yours, just ignore
The wreckage galore
And think about how I felt before
And cry about who I love even more
And hope to be with me once more
(Chorus)
It's execution, don't you know?
I try to see but there's nothing to show
I try to learn but there's nothing to know
'Cus no one controls me no more
I try to fight when there's nothing to win
But I can't give up even though I'm pinned
And I can't explain if it's bad or good
But nothing will bring me down like you could
(Drum solo)
(Guitar Solo)
(Bridge)
If it's not your fault, it's mine
But look at what's left behind so
Tell me what to make of this
Don't let me fall into abyss
Lock me up or tie me down
I'll die before I hit the ground
I will struggle to believe
But I will not let this conquer me!
(Chorus)
It's execution, don't you know?
I try to see but there's nothing to show
I try to learn but there's nothing to know
'Cus no one controls me no more
I try to fight when there's nothing to win
But I can't give up even though I'm pinned
And I can't explain if it's bad or good
But no one will bring me down like you could
(Outro)
