Spent so many years of this life running from things I can’t hide
Will it ever turn out alright?
Will the sun rise soon enough on a day of satisfaction or will it just stay this dark?
Is this working or is it enough?
With everything broken and so much lost
Tell me you’re trying, I’ll tell you too
Even if we’re lying
Too many years of fighting
What’s too many years more
Running from things I can’t hide
Will the sun ever rise?
Running from things I can’t hide
Will it ever turn out alright?

Thoughts keep running all around
How can I stop this sound that keeps eating at my brain
Destroying my hope and leaving me pain
What I can’t do is live this life
How can I find peace and quiet
What will I say to those who care
I tried so hard I just can’t win
Ever again
Pressure from within eats away at me
I cant breathe without it making me
Want to scream out loud,disappear for days,and find another way to make myself afraid of losing all I have
Someone please unchain me

Sleep

2:18 and I can’t sleep
What the fuck is wrong with me
Skin and bones, tongue in cheek
Emptiness between the sheets
Just an honest night’s sleep
For no one else but me
A single moment of relief
For no one else but me

All these laws put in place are lies to keep a line
between those who challenge and
the power to control every penny every dime every human life
every opportunity to break out of this fucking cycle
that keeps beating down those who don’t possess
the identity you want in command
What the fuck are we gonna do to end this discrimination
How do we erase this redline and give true liberation
Division selection separation
Mass incarceration of all
Jim Crow lives on in these systems.

See right through your excuses of those you idolize
Thought we were stronger than this thought we don't comply
The good guys backed hard mentality
Who decides which ones to believe
Spew your lies up on the stage
reason and purpose and all things grey
Compassion what does that mean?
How do you know?
Who decides what’s the truth
When everything has been smeared away
Who decides who will stay

Hollow Hope

Push me down to the ground
Hold me there until I give in
This hollow hope inside of me
Wants it all to change
But will it ever, will it ever go away
I will never be free from all this pain
What can I do to free my mind from this hate
What can I do to kill the abuser inside my head
Locked away for so long I can’t see
Just a shadow of me
Just a little black hole on a typical street
And I breath away the shackles, chant away the restraints
no more delusion, no more hate
I live in this question each and every day
What can I do to free my mind from this hate
What can I do to kill the abuser inside my head
Locked away for so long
Just a shadow of me
Never felt a sense of relief
When I was finally free

Find ourselves thinking what could have been
All these years have gone by in and out of our lives
These dreams keep coming each and every night
Waking up to these tears and this ache inside
Let’s go back
to a time free of pain
young and careless
Those were the days
Why can’t it be easy to say goodbye
When will these thoughts be out of my fucking mind
This is our twilight
Don’t want to say goodbye
The light is going dark
Don’t want to be blind
Let’s go back

Hide the truth of what you have inside
Spent these years trying to deny the claims of those you held to the ground
Everything has been taken away
What will you do to repair the harm
Until we win or until we die,
we will not give up from this fight
Hung from the wall, rope around my neck
Are you scared of us now
Until we win or until we die
We will not give up

Back on the Wall

So let them know
I choose my own way to burn
For the ones with their back to the wall
This one is for you
For those who stand in the way of progress
I have nothing for you but anger and resentment
That’s all you need to carry out the burden you left for us
I won’t let you bury me

To the Moon and Back

The sky is pitch black without you shining there
will I see your face or is it hidden forever
Your craters hide the scars of a hardened life
How can we live through the night without the moon
I’m sorry I didn’t know what to do to make the pain go away for you
Heartbreak came and went, lost in permanence.
Love sick, left to rust. The debt in us, the blue and black in grey.
Cheat death, up and left. The wake in consequence.
Love sick, left to rust. The pull in us of tides you drag away.
What I would give to see you shine one more night
