BROKEN PROMISES
My
word is everything to me
This
promise I’ve made
I’ll
stay true
My
values, I hold up high
Integrity,
sums up my life
Sure
it’s your life and why should I care?
None
of my business…no argument there
Say
one thing then do another?
That’s
the burden you’ll have to bare
What
will you go against now?
What
other statements have you made?
Is
there any truth that you speak?
How
can I believe anything you say?
What
about the kids that look up to you?
What
kind of message are you sending to them?
Isn’t
there some kind of personal responsibility involved?
Where
does it get you in the end?
Maybe
you don’t care what other think
And
maybe you don’t care if your words fall short
But,
if it doesn’t mean that much to you, then don’t claim
This
message doesn’t need your support
We
don’t need you to make a mockery of these ideals
But,
give it the respect that it deserves
Whether
you claim Vegan, Christian, God-Free
anarchist,
animal rights, Straight Edge…you’d better follow it thru if you want my respect…MY RESPECT!
My
Respect!
My
Respect!
My
Respect!
Black Horizon
You've hit rock bottom
Nowhere to turn
No friends left to help
Rehab will be your salvation
Just saying you're in
Makes you feel better
That first committment
You feel you're cured
Black Horizon
looking forward falling back
Black Horizon
looking forward falling back
Well guess what
You come down off your high
and detox sets in
you begin to realize it's not as easy as you thought
You do your best to follow the program
you try your hardest to make it work
but, it's too tough and you're too weak
Another failure leaves
1 out of 100 people make it
and then they relapse
Rehab doesn't work
If you don't have the intelligence to stay away from drugs, you won't have the will to get off them.
Trapped
In Your Mind
Have you ever thought about your life
after
you've taken a life?
The guilt, the time, your conscience
Plenty
of time to think
about what you've done
in your cell, in your mind
What
about the family of your victim?
How do you face them?
What
will you do? What will you say?
I'm sorry just isn't good enough.
You'll
relive that moment a thousand times in your mind as you stare at the wall.
You're future is bleak as you
watch your back
You've taken the fall.
And
if you get out
There won't be a day
that goes by
When
it's not on your mind
Will you want all that?
Next
time you drink and drive
Think about it.
We Can't Be Silenced
Yeah,
it seems like we keep screaming about the same old shit
but,
we'll keep screaming until our efforts make a difference!
and
for all the dreams that are broken
and
all the lives they take
We'll
push back harder
in
order to enact change
And
we can't be silenced
we
can't be silenced
No!
We'll
let the world know about our enemies
and
we'll do something about it to stop these tragedies
And
we can't be silenced
we
can't be silenced
we
can't be silenced
we
can't be silenced
As
the deaths go on
As
the disease spreads
As
the noose tightens
We'll
be there until the end
we
can't be silenced
we
can't be silenced
Lifelong Dreams
You were gonna go to college
You were gonna get your dream job
You were gonna meet the perfect girl
But drugs and booze are all you saw
Lifelong dreams
Forgotten and lost
Lifelong dreams
Forgotten and lost
Replace your happy family
With drug addicts on the street
Replace your happy home
With a cardboard box with dirt under your feet
Replace your happy memories of family and friends
With memories of overdoses and death
And tragedy in the end
Lifelong dreams
Forgotten and lost
Lifelong dreams
Forgotten and lost
"what happened to my life?"
"what happened to my life?!?"
Lifelong dreams
Forgotten and lost
Lifelong dreams
Forgotten and lost
Blind Eye
More education
Equals less self destruction
We gotta-
Teach more in schools
About the facts on drug abuse
Show them the results
Of what we've learned
Teach them more
About alcoholism
Show them the truth
Of what we've learned
Turn a Blind eye
Ignore it and it stays the same
Turn a blind eye
and you're the one to fucking blame
Teach them more
About big tobacco
And all their fucking lies
Teach them more
About this life and death
Let them learn about their lies
Turn a Blind eye
Ignore it and it stays the same
Turn a blind eye
Turn a Blind eye
Ignore it and it stays the same
Turn a blind eye
and you're the one to fucking blame
Ignorance is no excuse
Not to enact change
Pretending it doesn't exist
Won't make it go away
Forgetting the images
Embedded in your mind
Cant work towards a positive change
Don't turn a blind eye
Zero Tolerance
Stay the fuck away from our children
Stay the fuck away from their schools
Don't push that shit on them at that age
Just leave them alone
Noone gives a fuck about you
Zero Tolerance
It's not your life
Zero Tolerance
Back the fuck off
So innocent at that age
Their minds an open book
They don't need to be pushed down the wrong path
Just because it's the path that you took
I don't fucking care what you do
by yourself or with your friends
but don't prey on the young
It'll
catch up with you in the end
Zero Tolerance
It's not your life
Zero
Tolerance
Back the fuck off
Stay the fuck away from our children
Stay the fuck away from their
schools
Stay the fuck away from our children
Stay
the fuck away from their schools
Zero
Tolerance
It's not your life
Zero Tolerance
Away x
From the first hit
your world turned black
another life unfolded
and you'll never go back
Just one little white rock
that's all it takes
for an imminent downfall
to which there's no escape
Away - Takes you away
Away - Takes you away
The high you'll always crave.
The addiction you'll fight until your grave.
Lifeless stares off into space
Haunting nightmares, endless pain.
There's never enough, you need more.
Paranoia sets in as you lock the door.
Hit after hit as you fan the flames
Your eyes roll back in your head as it takes you away
Away - Takes you away
Away - Takes you away
You're gone and noone cares
