Roads
The most honest part of me
I could show
and i do
But they will not believe
When I'm tell-
-ing the truth
About why I'm alive
And I stand
on this stage now
Still their questions pry
"Why not try
To act your age now"
All my life I tried
to fit your mold
and hold my tongue
Many nights I died
by your hold
on my lungs
Then I learned to scream
Boil my blood
Don't hold back
My story testifies
To the spine
that you lack
I don't need your god
I don't want your bluff
I don't care for praise
Don't deserve your love
I don't mind your silence
In spite of my sound
But how can you stand there
When I say I've found
Freedom
Freedom
The most dangerous thing about
Giving up
or giving in
Convince myself that I'm
not good enough
and I can't win
Well fuck you I am fine
The road is long
but I'm aware
I'm trading all my time
to scream these songs
and declare
I will find my way
Down this road
Live or die

Only Here

Only Here
Hey babe, you gotta real nice body
Any chance I could buy it from you?
I don't care what your answer is
My televised America tells me I deserve to
Just go with it
Don't it make you feel sick
Lie down and take it
Come on pretty baby fake it
Sex like
papercuts ruining my insides
Hurts so much
I can't imagine what's its like
Cause I'm only here now
But I'm getting tired of watching women die
He knows (that) it takes weakness to cry
Any pain is better felt in silence
He learned well - drunken father beat him right
Our billboard politics reinforce all the violence
Just got with it
Don't it make you feel sick
Shut up and take it
Cover bruises with some makeup
I'm over all this pain
Why's it even a question
They're marketing us rape
Every television session
What do you wanna be
What do you wanna be
Something occurred to me
I'm fucking over
Sex like
papercuts ruining my insides
Hurts so much
I can't imagine what's its like
Cause I'm only here now
And I'm getting tired
I'm getting fucking tired
Sex like
excuses made to cover what's inside

Dare
I'm kicking your door in
Wondering where the fuck you've been
Boy, you make a lot of noise
But you ain't got a lot of poise
I'm bringing the heat now
'Cause nobody ever let you down
Before you let them in
You like to poke and prod
You had your chance to tie the knot
You pushed your love away and it hurts a lot
I dare you man
The ceiling fan is calling your name
Who's to blame except yourself?
Here come the violent shakes
The ones that snap you awake
Still you deny
'Til everyone sees how it looks inside
I'm bringing the truth now
You're never crawling your way out
Until you let me in
You like to poke and prod
You cut with words 'til she forgot
What your promise meant and it hurts a lot
I dare you man
The rope in your hands is calling your name…
(sing oh, you break me in the best way)
Wake in four hours
And know i'm alright
The hole in my chest
Is beating with life
I'll find the lust
But never the guts
To try and find you
Wire my jaw shut
'Cause I've said enough
What mockery here
Have I made of love?
Gun to my head
Wish I were dead
I was too scared to

I come from a desert
a place so dry of substance
Here the city gathers
to bet their faith on some chance
The world is nestled safe in
the hands of "god the father"
So dad why do you starve your
sons and rape your daughters?
You knew…
This makes it harder to trust you
(to trust you)
All my life floating along on a lie
that I saw through
when I grew…
My skin is cracked and flaking
from the wind left by your words
I hid in your throat for shelter
and found my conscious burned
by your curses and excuses for
the hate your bible breathes
This game of counting moral cards
is surely not for me
I fell through the pages like
the paper held no weight
Each word became a pound of dirt
to shovel in my grave
You beat me half to death
and just like you taught I prayed
and you knew…
This makes it harder to trust you
(to trust you)
All my life floating along on a lie
that I saw through
when I grew up
Goodbye my friend
I swear I'll find the end
God, where were you?
Nowhere to be found

Come Hell

Come Hell
When I'm dead will there be
legacy to be missed?
When I'm gone will you speak
with honeyed or bitter lips?
Lay my remains open wide
Onlookers few will see
Hell was a place inside
not molten beneath our feet
I've been questioning my value on
this planet and I've found
evidence abound
The measure of a man
cannot be weighed in sand
or built by hand in greed
Its how we loved you see
Come hell
I will love come hell
When I'm old will I fear
the grave or my list of deeds
enough to invent god
to wash my guilt out to sea?
I'll tear my voice tonight
to shreds if it means you'll see
Hell is a place inside
a product of apathy
I've been caring far too much to care
for complacency I dare
the world to test me so
I stutter, drown in my own words
I wrote for you when I was bloodied bare
and on these words I'll choke
If all the world's my stage and they say act your age
come hell, I will love come hell
With bodies bruised and more abuse unspoken for
come hell, I will love come hell
If closure is not close and threatens overdose
come hell, I will love come hell
If god is sleeping when we're told to fear again
come hell, I will love come hell
