1. SECTOR IV

Everyone's got a war to wage I know I have my own I used to call this place hell but now I call it home / Living life that most would kill for I can live like a king with these means and for the soulless all the trappings suffice but why then do I scream? / What's the cost of living? How big is my piece of the pie? Am I the only one, that's still alive? / This may sound niave, but I still believe our city means more than the parts we choose to not ignore. We could outstretch our hands to someone other than our friends. / Lilacs from concrete it's getting harder to see through black,white,fistfights and dirty streets, oh, what we could be. / I see red too often to paint these streets in black and white in bridges over muddied waters. Oh what we could be (2x) You can shirk responsibility but it's these cloudy skies for me.

2. ROOTED

I've been shit on far too many times to be the hateful one I could break you on a whim but I won't. I don't want that kind of power (2x). / You can't argue with purging, taking the time to breathe. My roots will always run deep. I will always be headed home, no matter how we grow, and if you love someone let them go. / I've never had the strength to try. I always thought letting go sounded too much like goodbye.

3. DEATH THERAPY

I'd make an offering to any false god just to have for one more day the strength to hold on. Never thought I'd take for granted such a welcoming smile, but when death takes your breath you question every mile. / The sun is rising on a brand new day and I'm sick of myself in every fucking way family reunion, true to form I would set myself ablaze to keep your embers warm. This is only an attempt to cope, grasping at straws for some futile hope. I've inked volumes of youth's confusion to file away with all my other failed solutions. / It's too late to walk hand and hand down the trail of rocks and sand. / And now the rest of us try to pull it together, try to keep warm until another one of our kind is laid to rest. It's for the best. / Forgive. Forget. Relive. Regret. (4x)

4. FAR TOO FAR

Don't you feel like you've lost your mind? Aren't you sick of being sick all the time? Those bags underneath your eyes grow darker as time flies by. / Knees buckle as you struggle with the weight, but no one was made for this. It's phantom weight we carry no one asked us to bear it we'll never hear that shit and it still weighs us down. / I see too much of myself in your sunken eyes. I drink to forget I'm alive, but I've forgotten nothing. / We think that our shoulders are broader than most like we're useless without the load. We don't know any other way (2x) we don't know any other fucking way. / In the stifled movement of our feet we'll carry eachother home in different time zones on different planets / We have ourselves to blame for these callouses on our feet from walking miles in other people's shoes, fixing mistakes we didn't make. Just because we know what matters doesn't mean we have to suffer.
