1. SOMETHING INSIDE
Looking back in a short time, I KNOW I’m not afraid to scream and shout, because I know what we're about.
Solid ideals combined with my friends, forever growing in my heart and my head. Some say the core has seen better days, but it's still alive in so many ways. When we play there is something inside; from the music, the message, and the stage dives!
SOMETHING INSIDE
Open hearts and clear minds.
SOMETHING INSIDE
And we're going to KEEP IT ALIVE!
And that's not just hype; despite all our problems we can't lose sight.
Because the scene will never survive if you treat hardcore like it has died. I know it's easy to care when the scene is on top and there is so much there. But our chance is now, our days are real. We've got to see this through and that's the deal!
SOMETHING INSIDE
Open hearts and clear minds.
SOMETHING INSIDE
NO, I won't play that game, where the clothes make the person and we all look the same. RIGHT NOW, I have no fear, 'cause the kids will see the truth and not how it appears.
2. WHEN THINGS FALL APART
It's time we wake up and stop believing, that we're
unbreakable human beings. We try our hardest to keep control,
but the tighter we grasp the faster we fold.
When things fall apart, can we make a new start? YES!
There is no one else to blame for all our pain. We create it
ourselves when we attempt to maintain, who we think we are, how we want to be.
Our ego keeps us from our identity!
When things fall apart, can we make a new start? YES!
But what does this mean and how can we gain?
Despite our expectations, everything will change. Rise,
fall we gotta stand tall. And keep it together when your back's to the wall.
If we loosen our grip and take a a step back, we can see clearly
everything that we lack. With no more fear of what lies ahead, we can work for the benefit of others instead!
3. THE HIGHER TASTE
I believe all beings are the same; with a capacity for suffering and pain. Animals slaughtered by day and tortured by night. We say killing is wrong, what makes this right?
Animals die, do you know why? Cause we use their flesh to survive. It's about choice and it's about time we take, THE HIGHER TASTE
It's in our hands, we have freewill. I know you care, but your demands still kill. And all this meat eating is taking it's toll, on our minds, our bodies, and the world as a whole!
Animals die, do you know why? Cause we use their flesh to survive. It's about choice and it's about time we take, THE HIGHER TASTE
It's not an easy choice to make, but you gotta try, when there is so much at stake. We can do it, it's in our hands. We can do it, I know we can!
4. WILL IT EVER END
We say we want the fighting to end, but look at our lives, how will it begin? Our reaction to violence is the same in return, only light dispels dark, when will we learn? It's in the way we see it, our view is skewed. It's not vs. them, or me vs. you. If we follow this path, then we're just sheep, 'cause the price of life is not cheap!
An EYE FOR AN EYE makes the world BLIND
Look around and open your eyes. It's our own two-edged sword that is ruling our lives. STAND STRAIGHT with our heads held high, cause to die in fear is no way to die. Turn your cheek, it stops right now, non-violence is the only way out! If we follow this path, then we're just sheep cause the price of life is not cheap!
An EYE FOR AN EYE makes the world BLIND
Here we are again, we've been here before. Spending all our time trying to even the score. One more time, we'll be on top. But one more time means the violence never stops! It's time we all realized, that peace begins in our own lives. 'Cause there are no sides, there are no teams, we are all just people trying to live out our dreams!
5. THE FIRST STEP
Everyday! I feel the strain. We all know the fear of breaking away. Forget our old habits and rearrange. All this illusion and all this confusion, I can't even see what path to take. If we can't step outside ourselves, we'll never realize what's at stake.
The journey of a thousand miles begins with THE FIRST STEP. Strength lies within, so take THE FIRST STEP
Everyday! I see the gain, of fighting the war inside your head, and looking for the truth inside instead. We will slow our pace and we'll lose face, but those who are real will understand why. It will hurt and cause us pain, but what do you expect living against the grain?
The journey of a thousand miles begins with THE FIRST STEP. Strength lies within, so take THE FIRST STEP
Search and you will find, but not on the outside, all of us are blind. CHANGE COMES FROM WITHIN. I won't look to you for the things that I should do, I'll walk the path I choose. CHANGE COMES FROM WITHIN
