Don't Pretend like were not the same
I can see it in your eyes
Your judgment passes over
Everything but your own heart
I’m just a man trying to keep balance
But I won't be fooled by you
Quit wasting your time
It’s running out
Quit wasting your time
Or you'll be caught unaware
As you slip on the back ice
You tried to take a safe bet
But words mean nothing without action
And I ain't seen nothin’ yet
You said never you believed
But I see right through you
You should never be ashamed
Of who you are inside
We try to grasp control of this short life
To try to hide our weakness and mortality
But no amount of riches, no amount of power or religion
can ever change that we are all the same
Focused in instead focused out
Stay blind and you'll get swallowed by your own doubt
We may tread different paths we may lead different lives
But you and I are one in the same

Fight Back!
They try to pick me apart piece by piece
And I’ve been pushed to the edge for far too long
Don’t let them hold you down for how you feel inside
I never told you how to live your life
So don't tread on mine
Cause these words this life is who I am
And I won't give up on my dreams for anything
Find the strength inside yourself
Don’t let them take what’s in your heart
Along for the ride while you’re wasting my time
You’ll never break me
You’re running your mouth like you know who I am
But you know nothing
You cannot kill what's inside of me
You spit in my face for the last time
Your faith is broken but not shattered
You’re down but you never out
They fed you lies
They told you you're nothing
But never again
We can create a better world than this
Stand up for yourself and lift the veil from your eyes
Defined by heart instead of fears and failures
Walls will crumble but I will be standing strong
You cannot kill what's inside of my heart
This is my life till they bury me
Hearts Open
Minds Open
My Faith Will Not Be Shaken

I won't let this slip away
Is this all that's left
Beyond what I can see
When the only enemy
Left to face is me
I have been searching for all these years
If there was ever a place in this world me
Stuck in my anger
Life’s not supposed to be like this
Wrong turn after wrong turn
I’m running in circles
Struggling to find all the answers
To uneasy questions
If I let go I let go of myself
For I was told to believe in nothing
But reflections starring back at me
Can someone pick up the pieces of what’s become of me
I can't seem to find a certain way out of this
But I will stand with my head held high
I will scream until my throat goes dry
I won't allow hope to die
If this my last chance
I give it all
And I ask myself what's the point of this hatred
I won't allow fear to plague my mind

Lost sight of reality and hope
That I’ll get back up
just left with a bitter taste
I need to get out of this constant fight
There’s a hurt's that’s deep inside
And he just can't seem to shake
This feeling of fear and anger swell in his veins
From what was taken away
He cannot seem to escape
Or relate with anything
Desperate to clear the mess from his head
Mistakes and failures fresh on his mind
The ones he loves are fading
And this noose is tightening
These memories will stick with me
But I’m moving on
And I will break through
And break all of you
No one should have to feel this kind of pain
But it's stuck in the back of my mind
I can't seem to get it out
It always seems like no one’s there
And no one cares at all
I want so badly to move on
And overcome the pain
I refuse to believe there is nothing
More than empty skies
Because there is more than my pain
More than just my voice
Screaming out
I will forgive
But I’ll never forget
You’re nothing in my eyes
You’re dead to me
These memories will stick with me
But I will survive

Our essence exceeds our existence
in a life where the only certainty is death
and the meaning of our existence is to exist
and the rest is simply up to faith
our beliefs define our essence not our existence
we can't escape who we are this is all we dream

All I dream
Cannot compare to the love you've shown
I always feared that I’d die alone
Without a way out
Just this anchor weighing me down
And this reality is closing in on me
But we'll see this through
And I've seen this take everything from the ones I love
And here I stand I will never be the broken man
Won’t be the one to put the gun to my head
And I’ll raise this banner of hope
To the distant shores
But once again I’m casted to the abyss
Where I see no one and feel nothing
But I swear to God I’m not done fighting I’ll make my way out
These broken hearts mean nothing in the end
This is a part of me
That you can never take away
I can't see another way
For me to live my life
So this is me until the bitter end
Cause i know there is no amount of pain in this
That can't be washed away by the love i feel inside
Get up do not give in to hopelessness you can turn it all around
Don’t give up
I’ll never let this die out
