Restart this past year When we all came out through the cracks Self branded we've reincarnated to be Bolder, louder, and strong So we'll make the most of what we've got Succeeding cause I've got a plot To bring this world to its knees For all of you to finally see So first and foremost My back is straight to the wall With nowhere left for me to fall But with our hands bleeding My voice is screaming for you You know what to do Bring it back home Flashback to when we sat in the back row Watching the crowd flow I can't stand for the old we Budging the new we I won't let this break me So set in stone This is what I was made for I'm not gonna struggle We're better off now that we know Where we want to be So first and foremost My back is straight to the wall With nowhere left for me to fall But with our hands bleeding My voice is screaming for you You know what to do And I can't see this world without The stars that light up the sky And I can't feel the pleasure of this life Without my brothers by my side Can you hear me (Screaming, screaming) Can you feel me (Breathing, I'm breathing) Well first and foremost My back is straight to the wall With nowhere else for me to fall

No you're not a God to me You are no golden eagle Move your mouth around To produce the sound of a wannabe leader Across the grass land stands me alone Staring up at your mile high ego I'm looking down at your miniscule dreams now How does it feel to know that you're all alone It's not a secret I don't care You're educated I'm aware It's so obvious you need to share But for the last time I don't care Well I don't wanna let the world revolve Around a scratched up broken record So get up. shut up, go on, get out Do what you have to do to put your mind to rest I'm not here to impress I've always sat alone and kept to myself But I think it's about time that you worry about somebody else You're just a boy in the world You're just like everyone else There's nothing new here Or cool here Just another expensive and happy life Get off your high horse Boy, there's no need to strife Keep your mouth shut Get on with your own life It's not that you're a bad player But you make me really hate this game Cross out your mouth for a little bit longer And for the last time I don't care Well I don't wanna let the world revolve Around a scratched up broken record So get up. shut up, go on, get out Do what you have to do to put your mind to rest I'm not here to impress Well I've heard you've been calling me out But if you're trying to get hurt boy Give me a reason I don't wanna let the world revolve Around a scratched up broken record So get up. shut up, go on, get out Do what you have to do to put your mind to rest I'm not here to impress

Stay away from me I hope you've heard the rumors The story's out Your fucking time is up It's time for me to make my way out By the hands of my maker Your rule has come to an end So now you'll know Our worlds will never blend Don't ever try to rip me out or pull me down This is my golden crown Maybe next time I'll be able to read between the lines I have found a new place In the right half of my mind Don't ever take me for granted I knew I'd be handed A moment for sincerity (Sincerity) This world is littered with your fucking payments It's so easy to say this "Shut your mouth" I don't need charity So keep away from me No need to follow through After this past year Yeah we would all be better off alone Maybe next time I'll be able to read between the lines I have found a new place In the right half of my mind Don't ever take me for granted I knew I'd be handed A moment for sincerity (Sincerity) I signed the papers with the devil's pen The ink bled red Off with your head Yeah it takes one small step In the wrong direction To start the burning To raise an army So big and still so small You put us through it all Take no more than one

Well I've been lost and I've been found again Yet I've never heard of your sin I'm just here To try to be your monument at hand Yeah I have travelled far and wide To find a way to heal you inside Believe me I have screamed like I know you have everyday All you wanna do is run and hide But I'll be the mind to which you confide You alone are the limit to yourself See I've been there with no place to go Only closed off empty rooms for me to call home What a lonely life Just give it time I know you'll make it through the day I've been told All the places that you've called home Give it time I know I'm not alone I've been thinking about The things you've been through And I'm just finding out What it is to be you Throw your thoughts to the side I see a really faint light Coming from in the last known Burning bush around (Tyler Reed) Oh yeah You know that I've been through this before This world is getting crazy outside my door And I no longer wanna explore So come on Ask yourself what you're all about Think about the words that go out your mouth Don't fill the world with doubt anymore I've been told All the places that you've called home Give it time I know I'm not alone I've been thinking about The things you've been through And I'm just finding out What it is to be you Throw your thoughts to the side I see a really faint light Coming from in the last known Burning bush around I've been told All the places that you've called home Give it time I know I'm not alone Not alone I'm not alone Not alone With all the pain It's hard to even think that you're alive With every breath I don't feel right Well I've been lost and I've been found again Yet I've never heard of your sin I'm just here To try to be your monument at hand I've been thinking about The things you've been through And I'm just finding out What it is to be you Throw your thoughts to the side I see a really faint light Coming from in the last known Burning bush around

I built this house upon the ashes you caused Yet you never gave an overwhelming round of applause When I speak I always held the highest apparel But deep down in your mind Your whole body trembles I see a red girl at the edge of the room Looking into a mirror at the different shades of you I gave you once chance, no two chances, no three God no more Cope the depression acquired with the drugs you adore With all the bullshit With all the moods that you swing You're awaited by the silence social actions can bring Yeah you've been played before And you'll be played again No control for yourself Or for the boys that you let in This is a callout An overwhelming shot of the truth With all the lies you brought into the other half of you From castles to cardboard Compared low to the rest There's not a thing of pride To carry on your chest With every breath I take You slowly turn your head away from me With broken bottles helping you to see I wrote the code on what it means to hold Another life in yours Please don't remember me when you're alone You made your own choice And now you're hearing your own voice Speak the words from the wise To the thoughts that cause your demise Tell me how it feels to know that you have No place to go You're on your own No thoughts of relapse To a time when a smile could make a day To a time when you'd look to him And he told you You'll be okay With every breath I take You slowly turn your head away from me With broken bottles helping you to see I wrote the code on what it means to hold Another life in yours Please don't remember me when you're alone In a world filled with a million shattered eyes With no space for haste when it comes to your lies As the king of this thrown I see all that lies I'm telling you now You won't survive You think you'll get the best of me But in time you'll see three times is up Make way for the man that I am Upon this pedestal Which I stand With every breath I take You slowly turn your head away from me With broken bottles helping you to see I wrote the code on what it means to hold Another life in yours Please don't remember me when you're alone When you're alone
