Leave all the rest - LP *I dreamed I was missing You were so scared But no one would listen Cause no one else cared After my dreaming I woke with this fear What am I leaving When I'm done here So if you're asking me I want you to know When my time comes Forget the wrong that I've done Help me leave behind some Reasons to be missed Don't resent me And when you're feeling empty Keep me in your memory Leave out all the rest Leave out all the rest Don't be afraid I've taking my beating I've shared what I've made I'm strong on the surface Not all the way through
I've never been perfect But neither have you So if you're asking me I want you to know Forgetting All the hurt inside you learned to hide so well Pretending Someone else can come and save me from myself I can't be who you are
Valentine's Day - LP *My insides are turned to ash, so slow And blew away as I collapsed, so cold A black wind took them away, from sight And held the darkness over day, that night And the clouds above move closer Looking so disatisfied But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing I used to be my own protection, but not now Cause my path has lost direction, somehow A black wind took you away, from sight And held the darkness over day, that night And the clouds above move closer Looking so disatisfied And the ground below grew colder As they put you down inside But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing So now you're gone And I was wrong I never knew what it was like To be alone On a Valentine's Day, On a Valentine's Day (I used to be my own protection but not now)
On a Valentine's Day, On a Valentine's Day (Cuz my mind has lost direction somehow) On a Valentine's Day, On a Valentine's Day (I used to be my own protection but not now) On a Valentine's Day, On a Valentine's Day (Cuz my mind has lost direction somehow)
Hands Held High - LP *Turn my mic up louder I got to say something Light weights step to the side when we come in Feel it in your chest the syllables get pumping People on the street they panic and start running Words on loose leaf sheet complete coming I jump on my mind, I summon the rhyme, I'm dumping Feeling the blind I promised to let the sun in Sick of the dark ways we marched to the drumming Jump when they tell us that they wanna see jumping
Fuck that I wanna see some fists pumping Miss something, take back what's yours
Say something that you know they might attack you for Cause I'm sick of being treated like I had before
Like the stupid standing for what I'm standing for Like this war's really just a different brand of war
Like it doesn't cater the rich and the fan and poor Like they understand you in the back of the jet
When you can't put gas in your tank These fuckers are laughing the way to the bank and cashing the check
Asking you to have the passion and have some respect For a leader so nervous in an obvious way Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day In their living room laughing like "what did he say?" Amen In my living room watching but I am not laughing
Cause when it gets tense I know what might happen World is cold the bold men take action Have to react to get blown into fractions Ten years old is something to see Another kid my age drug under the jeep Taken and bound and found later under the tree I wonder if he thought the next one could be me Do you see the soldiers they're out today They brush the guts with bullet proof vests away It's ironic at times like this you pray But a bomb blew up the mosque yesterday There's bombs in the buses, bikes, roads Inside your market, your shops, your clothes My dad he's got a lot of fear I know But enough pride inside not to let that show My brother had a book he would hold with pride A little red cover with a broken spine On the back, he handwrote a quote inside When the rich wage war it's the poor who die Meanwhile, the leader just talks away Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day Both scared and angry like "what did he say?"Amen With hands held high into a sky so blue As the ocean opens up to swallow you With hands held high into a sky so blue As the ocean opens up to swallow you With hands held high into a sky so blue As the ocean opens up to swallow you With hands held high into a sky so blue As the ocean opens up to swallow you With hands held high into a sky so blue As the ocean opens up to swallow you With hands held high into a sky so blue As the ocean opens up to swallow you
