Losing Grip

they say the problem with living it up is you can live it up too much
but all work and no play can push you farther and farther away
it's hard to find a balance to get by
between responsibility and whatever keeps your mind at ease
I cant say that I've made it any easier on myself
sometimes its a struggle to wake up
in my right hand I keep a solid grip on reality
and still I feel like I'm losing TOUCH

Saving Breath

It can be hard to be righteous and cry for unity
Without bullshit from the scene or you're own personal grief
But you can't tell me there's a single group without it's own share of inner qualms and disputes
I'll do my part / save my breath
Wipe the slate clean / for the music
For what it meant then and what it means now
SAVE YOUR BREATH
Forgive, forget and move on
For better or for worse
Just look ahead , save your breath
NO LAST WORDS
SAVE YOUR BREATH
Everyone's got pride
Everyone's got pride
You drop yours, I'll drop mine

You can't take away our memories
Ignorance breeds from being in the dark
but don't trust that glowing box
things shown to you to inspire fear
while your brothers and sisters are caged like dogs
Who does this city belong to?
THESE ARE OUR STREETS, OUR STREETS
We pave the way with our feet
Through the injustices of history
You can't take the heart out of us
CAN'T TAKE X 2
You won't change our memories on us
OUR MEMORIES X 2
Masked figures and burning rubber
Things you focus on for fear
But we can tell the story better
Because we were fucking there
This was the war between our words and your pictures x2

Small Sacrifices

Looking back to my days of youth
Wondering what it would be like to be in your shoes
I guess you had all of us fooled
Cause your ego's got the best of you
Charging kids just to meet you STACK THAT CASH
Chasing young girls hearts for the one you lost somewhere on the road
ON THE ROAD
I guess it all adds up
those small sacrifices
You've lost sight of yourself
To these small sacrifices
SMALL SACRIFICES
It's time to pack it up
You've had your best shot

Making the Most

making the most
hardship and adversity can make one blind
but keep in mind the grass is greenest on your side
even though you look across and see the life you think you need
your fate you seek is underneath your feet
sometimes your faced with something you don't know how to beat
though you may not always win, you'll always get back up again / GET BACK UP
don't think to admit defeat, this is your time to shine
take the odds stacked against you as a blessing in disguise
to challenge you, strengthen you and help you
stay positive
don't lose hope
where you are now
is where you need to be
MAKING THE MOST
to define you
and the person you'll end up being
MAKING THE MOST
OF WHAT WE GOT
AND WHAT WE'LL HAVE
